Friends

So Once again, i have  no teacher for my lit class. Huzzah. We are still reading Twain, and at the beginning of each chapter, there are little quotes that mimic Poor Richard's Almanack, but its hard trying to find their purpose. 
ANYWAYS, so im sitting with my BEST FRIEND FOR LIFESES my dear Austin Scott (...yes, she is a girl...), and we are pondering on what these quote thing ACTUALLY MEAN. we have like 9 questions that are possibly impossible, if that makes any sense at all..... So we have been going to school together for like EVER, since we have been at this school for what feels like FOREVER (13 years to be exact) but we really became close in 7th grade and yea, YAY BACKGROUND STORIESSSS :-D She's one of those people i can be totally weird with, and she doest care, she just joins in, and vice versa. but yea pretty much we are the most fantasmigorically awesomely speshul people ever, in our opinion. 
So I'm really happy that it's friday because it has been such a long week!! Who else is excited about thanksgiving? Cause I'm SO PSYCHED!! i mean really, its the one holiday where you can eat like a pig and no one judges you because they are doing it too. It makes me so happy. 


but yeah, now i dont know what else to rant about.


Ciao!

P.S. Im on day one of my diet, WISH ME LUCK!!!

Oh Junior Year....

So I am a junior in high school at the moment, and it pretty much is hell on a stick with fire. lots and lots of fire.....
We have this class called American Studies, which is an interdisciplinary class of American History and American Literature, and it pretty much takes over my life right now. like whenever I'm not at the barn, i am studying..... so very much. As of right now, we are studying American realism and reading Puddin'head Wilson by Mark Twain, which so far is about how two kids, that look alike, are switched because one is technically a slave cause he has a minuscule amount of African American blood, even though he has blonde hair and blue eyes. Slavery.... really America? Anyway, so this book is really weird in my opinion, thoughts on this book?

So if anyone is really reading this blog, could you leave me a comment with your thoughts about American History/Literature? cause so far, not my favorite. Really, European history is so much more interesting! THEY FRICKEN BEHEAD THEIR RULERS!!! ...thats awesome. I mean, Salem Witch Trials were interesting, and i love Monty Python for doing the whole "And what do we burn?" "MORE WITCHES!!!" ...again Europe's history is more entertaining, Thank You Monty Python, and apparently they think very, very small rocks float.  American History is so messed up! Finding "right" in slavery because God says the Sons of Cain are to be enslaved by the sons of Able, but honestly, it also says that GOD is the ONLY one that can hurt the sons of Cain. Okay, cooling off......

but yeah, thats my perspective... take it as you will....
