Yay! Dakota won!

Well, tonight I watched the Kids Choice Awards on Nickolodeon, mostly because Dakota Fanning was nominated for "Favorite Female Movie Star". And she won! Yay! lol. And although they didn't actually show her on TV, her sister Elle was there too, because I went to dakota-fanning.org to see if they had put up pictures from the awards yet, and discovered that there were pictures of them together! You can see them here: http://www.dakota-fanning.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=661
They have both grown up a lot! And Elle's 9th birthday is coming up, on April 9th! So happy early birthday, Elle ( in case I don't post here again until after her b-day, lol)!
Well, currently I'm working on a research paper for language arts. Everyone in my class was supposed to choose a controversial topic to write about, so I'm writing about cloning, and the possibiliy of cloning humans. I haven't really thought about it a lot, but I think I'm against cloning because I don't think it's right for us to be doing the work of God by creating people. Plus, wouldn't it just be plain scary to see a copy of yourself? lol.
Well, not much else is going on, except this week at school will be short! We have Friday off because we always get a day off in April unless we got out of school earlier due to snow. But since it practically NEVER snows here, we always get to keep the free day. lol. I guess it's kind of better that way, because the day that we get off, we have nice and warm weather.

Almost spring break! :)

Well, I'm very excited because tomorrow is my last day of school before spring break! It's always so nice to have a whole week off of school. And hopefully none of my teachers will be mean enough to give us homework over the break. lol
Today, all of the 9th graders went over to the high school for an orientation. Yeah, we're still in middle school right now because the high school is so crowded that there's only room for the 10th-12th graders. But a lot of the teachers at the high school told us about what the classes will be like. Since we're already considered high school students, and it's just that we don't physically go to the high school, I guess the work next year probably won't be much harder than it is this year. But one thing I'm nervous about is trying to get around in that huge building!! There's really not anything to worry about when you're starting middle school, because all of the grades have their own hallways, so it's not too likely that you'll get lost. But it looks like in high school, your classes are all over the school! Hopefully I won't get lost on the first day next year! lol. I'm thinking for my electives, I'll take drama and choir. The only problem with choir is that you have to audition to be in it in high school. My mom says that I would do fine, but I'd still be really nervous! Oh well. I guess as long as the teacher is the only one listening to me sing, it won't be too bad. lol

Sick

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted here. Unfortunately, I'm not at school today because I'm sick. I think it's probably just a cold, so hopefully I'll get over it soon. We were going to go visit my great-aunt and uncle this weekend, but that had to be cancelled. But they still might come here to visit us next week.
Well, this week was really busy! I went to a Taylor Hicks concert, now that he's touring his new album. It was awesome!! I had sooooo much fun. We ended up getting home pretty late, but it was worth it. :)
I also had my pictures taken in my recital costumes for dance this week. My recital isn't until May, but they do the pictures really early. And we were supposed to leave to visit my great-aunt and uncle after school today. I'm really disappointed that we can't go, but hopefully they can come here next week.
