I always open up a tab to blog on, but it's always lower on my list of priorities, and then it doesn't get done. So I blog from my iTouch to make sure it gets done.
Today we have the Reading TAKS test, which is always really annoying and boring - and of course I dislike the importance the state places on it. But I never have a problem, usually only miss one or two out of how many questions? Fifty-eight? Yeah..
I boast sometimes that I can and will get up early if I want to (if you consider 5:50 early), but really I dislike having to sacrifice sleep. This is not made easier by the fact that I sleep in a loft bed, which (as I always explain it) is a bunk bed without the bottom bunk.
And I also reprimand myself whenever I get up early just so I can harvest my crops on farmville. Which I did today - although I didn't get up quite as early as usual. :P
Darn, the computer I'm using is really slow, especially when it comes to FarmVille. At least I harvested all that Forbidden Rice and planted some more.
Oh yeah, and I got a new bike yesterday. It's silver, and much better for my size than my old one. It's pretty cool.
Every day is closer to summer break - which is exciting not only in that, well, it's the end of school, but also in that I leave for London the day after school gets out, and my cruise starts a few days after. AND ALSO, when I'm in eighth grade, none of the really annoying guys in my multimedia and gym classe will be there. Hooray!
By the way, I was writing this this morning before school.. but then my iTouch ran out of power. Good thing it saved!

Sweet Home Alabama
Well, actually, Alabama is my dad's home, not mine. But anyhow. We got here around 6 hours ago, and the hotel has wireless Internet, so I've got no problem with that.
.. Anyways. We went here, so hastily and in the middle of the week, because of my grandfather. He has cancer and other things, I'm told, and he may not have much time left. My dad picked me up from school yesterday and told me we were packing. And it only took us about two hours to pack, and then we were on the road. We dropped off our dog, Chakotay, at my other grandma's house (and we stayed the night too.) Then we hit the road and I alternated between dozing and reading for the next 9 hours.
We got here around 4 or so in the afternoon. My grandpa seemed to be doing, well, okay; my aunt said that he seemed to be 'rallying', that this was the best he'd been since she got here on Tuesday. I'm glad he's not in any pain. After a while we left his room to give him some peace and quiet- my siblings had a hard time understanding that, I believe.
It's very convienient about how 'online' schools are now- I can very easily email my teachers at short notice (which this was) and ask for the assignments for the next few days. I got a load of science homework printed out, and I brought the textbook with me, but my science teacher said that I would be given a few day's slack. Which is cool cause I normally find her annoying. But anyways. I looked on my algebra teacher's teacherweb and it looks like we're doing various worksheets, which is too bad, since if it was textbook stuff I could use the online textbook. (Although I suppose she could've attached the worksheets for me to print out, if she had responded.) My theatre teacher responded kindly, saying that it was fine and that we'd work it out when I came back. My history teacher attached the review we were doing today and tomorrow; unfortunately, I only recieved his email today, well after the time that I was able to reach for my history textbook. I printed it out anyways, in the hope that I could do some of it from memory, but still. Oh well. My language arts teacher hasn't been here at all this week, but even though he was supposed to come back today, his teacherweb wasn't updated and he never responded to my email, so I have no idea what's going on there.
Sigh... Different subject. Gmail has this new thing called 'Google Buzz' or some such thing, and it's pretty cool. It's basically a combo of Facebook (without the games and apps) and Twitter (they even have the @reply thing going on) plus integration from Flickr and some other stuff, and, you guessed it, Blogspot! So, yeah, I'm hoping this will gain some views from more of my real-life friends. c:
One last thing is that I finally gave in and got this free app from the app store called BlogPress, which enables me to now post from my iTouch. In fact, this whole post is from my iTouch, which I think shows how good I've gotten at typing on this thing - though the autocorrect helps a lot.
I guess I should go to sleep now. Bye :)
