The Most Amazing Thing Happened The Other Day...

 

I did it! I got my Young Womanhood Recognition Award! This is a big award in my church, and I am so glad that I achieved it. I even met my goal of finishing before school got out! I'd like to say good luck to all my friends who are also working towards this award. It's a great experience! :)
Now I can get to work on my Honor Bee... :)
Je l'ai fait! J'ai obtenu mon jeune Recognition Award Womanhood! C'est une grande récompense dans mon église, et je suis si heureux que je l'ai réalisé. J'ai même rencontré mon objectif de terminer avant l'école est sorti! Je voudrais dire bonne chance à tous mes amis qui travaillent également à ce prix. C'est une expérience formidable! :)
Maintenant, je peux travailler sur mon Honor d'abeille ... :)

The Moment We've All Been Waiting For... Le moment que nous attendions tous ...

Yes! I did remember to bring my camera to an important event in my life! Finally!
I know, it's hard to believe. :)
Anyway... I took it to my end-of-the-school-year party! Every other year I've been kicking myself for forgetting my camera, but this year I finally remembered!
This makes me happy!
So, anyway...
Oui! Je ne me souviens d'apporter mon appareil photo à un événement important dans ma vie! Enfin!
Je sais, c'est difficile à croire. :)
Quoi qu'il en soit ... Je l'ai pris à ma fin de l'année scolaire, la fête! Tous les deux ans, j'ai été moi-même coups de pied pour oublier mon appareil photo, mais cette année, je me suis finalement souvenu!
Ce qui me rend heureux!
Donc, de toute façon ...

Friends!!!!!!

    Chums!

Buddies!!!!!!!

Other than the random words scattered in there, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. :)

Autre que les mots au hasard dispersés là-dedans, je vais laisser les images parler d'elles-mêmes. :)

Believe it!

Weather.
It is plotting against me. I promise.
First, it was this, back in March:
Météo.
Il est en train de comploter contre moi. Je te le promets.
D'abord, c'était cela, en Mars:

I could go barefoot in shorts in snow because it was warm. Yay!!!!
Then, there was thunder and lightning every night. Yippee!!!!! (But cold.)
Then, there was wind. Yay! I love wind! (But still cold.)
Then, it was warm. Super Yippee!!!!!
And then, it started to rain Dip N' Dots! (Hail)
Je pouvais marcher pieds nus dans la neige en short parce que il faisait chaud. Yay!!
Puis, il y avait tonnerre et les éclairs tous les soirs. Youpi!! (Mais froide.)
Puis, il y avait du vent. Yay! J'adore vent! (Mais encore froid.)
Ensuite, il faisait chaud. Super Youpi!!
Et puis, il a commencé à pleuvoir points Dip N '! (Grêle)

And that wasn't it. Oh no, we needed SNOW on May 1st and 2nd! 2 inches! And it was cold again.
Then, it began to warm up, and we were hopeful.
And now it's getting colder...
This, my friends, is the other shoe dropping. Plummeting through the floor and into the basement. I'm thinking: What's this thing about The Greenhouse Effect? Huh? I don't think so... :)
Et ce n'était pas ça. Oh non, il nous fallait de la neige sur 1er et 2 mai! 2 pouces! Et c'est encore froid.
Puis, il a commencé à se réchauffer, et nous avons bon espoir.
Et maintenant, il fait plus froid ...
Ceci, mes amis, est «l'autre chaussure chute."
:)

More About Music

I'm in a special quartet in my school Orchestra. (2 violins, a viola, and a cello.) Here we are after a performance. I'm telling you. Music. Get involved!

Again, with the happiness...Could be you! Really! No lie!

The Tale Of My Minor Nightmare

What do these have in common?

They strike fear in my heart.

And remind me just how awesome my dad is.

I had the most beserk science project.

Design, from scratch, a roller coaster for a marble with three hills. It must start at 92cm high and the first hill must be 80cm. The last two hills could be whatever. You could not power the marble with wind, magnets, etc. It had to be pure momentum that sent it from beginning to end.

Doesn't sound too hard, right?

WRONG!

After several failed plans and projects, rewrites, building, scrapping, praying, and roughly 12 hours spread over a week and a half...

My group and I were doing some very justified panicking.

Luckily, my dad is epic and extremely knowledgeable about any subject presented.

When I asked him for help, so began the several-hour adventure that is...

building my 'A' science project, which you see in the second picture.

Thank you so much dad!

How?

So, I just discovered this picture and felt the need to put it up. I play violin! Did you guys know that? I love it! If you don't play an instrument, I have one question for you:
How? :/
Seriously, get on it, friend!
I play piano and violin, and it's so much fun! I think of playing instruments as being fluent in another language.
An INTERNATIONAL language! Like the International System of Units!
Okay, that sounded really nerdy... :)
Donc, je viens de découvrir cette photo et ressenti le besoin de le mettre en place. Je joue du violon! Avez-vous les gars savent que c'est? I love it! Si vous n'avez pas jouer d'un instrument, j'ai une question pour vous:
Comment? :/
Sérieusement, obtenir sur elle, mon ami!
Je joue du piano et du violon, et c'est tellement amusant! Je pense que de jouer des instruments comme étant couramment une autre langue.
Une langue internationale! Comme le Système international d'unités!
Okay, ça sonnait vraiment nerdy ... :)

This is me at a violin concert. :)
See? See my happiness? This could be you! Propaganda!

C'est moi lors d'un concert pour violon. :)

Surgery

I got surgery done on my broken -now fixed, hallelujah!- sinuses a few weeks ago. Here are the pics I know you either really want to see or really DON'T want to see. :)
J'ai eu la chirurgie fait il ya quelques samaines. Voici quelques photos.

It was hard to smile with that thing on my nose... I called it my mustache... :)

 The first time, they put my IV in wrong, so I got a lovely and very flattering bruise. :)

The second attempt was much more successful. :)

Please ignore the fashion magazine on the edge of this photo. It's my sister's, NOT MINE! I was NOT LOOKING AT IT! Promise! 

Oh, and the black thing is a calculator case. I needed to do my math... :)

Merlin Party!

BEWARE: Merlin Rant!

Okay, so, two of my closest friends introduced me to this at a sleepover, so blame them for wrecking the incredible and dangerously delicate balance of the cosmos.
It's a show called Merlin, and it is only the BEST television show on the planet. (Or, possibly, in the previously mentioned cosmos.)
Behold, the main character:
http://www.scifinow.co.uk/tag/merlin/

(Ha ha! I managed to drag a picture off the internet! YES!)
So, anyway, Merlin is basically a spin off type of thing on the story of the wizard Merlin and King Arthur, and Excaliber, and The Lady of the Lake, and such. Except, in the series, King Arthur is still Prince Arthur, and Merlin is his servant, and the conversation and such is more modern and REALLY funny. I can't say too much, I don't want to spoil it for you, but seriously, look it up on Netflix. It's awesome.
It's also great for movie nights! 'Merlin Parties' with my friends are the best!

Beat.

Okay...
This year's snow slam had last year's beat.
Last year, it was this.
This year, we got almost a foot of snow in one day AND a night, I nearly broke the snow-blower about 200 times, (then my mom blowed again this morning) AND it's the first day of spring break.
Why...?
:)
Nous avons eu de la neige tonnes de plus que l'an dernier...cliquez sur le lien pour voir la neige de l'année dernière! :)

Sorry! (And Trouble-Shooting)

Oh my goodness I am so sorry for not posting for so long!!!!!!
Here's my excuse:
My dog ate my...oh, wait.
Here's my real excuse:
A new computer.
Yeah.
No idea how to get pictures downloaded/uploaded.
You understand, right?
Thanks. :)
Don't worry! I will soon be back! Pinky promise!
But first, a word about trouble-shooting.
Doing a google search when your electronic device gives you trouble really DOES help! Don't be skeptical. It really works. :)
