Ahhh!!! The World is Melting!

Our community and schools do a lot to protect the environment. My neighborhood now has new, large recycling cans the size of normal trash cans and each classroom has recycling bins as well. I know at my sister's school they have a green team that has a garden and promote a greener planet and we have a "Green Club" at Anderson that specifically does service projects helping the Earth. Also at our last Leadership council meeting , we brought used ink cartridges to recycle and help the environment.

Life has been going good... just a bit on the busy side. Spring break was great; relaxing, rejuvenating, exciting... but it ended to quickly, making me long for summer! We just finished a mask project for world geography where we had to make an African mask. That was fun but it is nice to have that over with. Band and choir UIL is coming up, a competition against yourself where your band/choir is scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Wish us luck! (Sorry this was a bit late!) Until next time.

Sleep! Or lack of it! (In other words, free topic!)

Don't you ever wish there were more hours in the day? That has been a wish of mine for a long time. If only I wasn't required to sleep... I miss out on a lot of sleep most of the time anyways. On average getting six and a half to seven hours is good for me... but not really. I'm always seem to be tired but I'm just too busy to sleep! School lasts from pretty much the time I wake up to 5ish when you calculate in extracurricular practices and the time it takes to get home. On Mondays, I go to YoungLife(!!!!!) from 8-9 leaving little time for homework. Tuesdays are voice lessons, Wednesdays = Youth Group, piano lessons on Thursdays, and FREE Fridays... Occasionally. Life is busy but I propose the only reason for its crampedness (if that is a word) is because our bodies need to recharge at night. I think the only solution is to forget sleeping and find a way for us to convert solar energy to fuel for ourselves (Hey, they are doing it to the rest of our stuff!) And the only way to achieve this is to let us outside during the day... in other words, hold class outside or even better, NO SCHOOL! I'll work hard you guys and eventually I'll find the answer to converting sunshine into sleep and we'll never have to worry about feeling tired again! (For real... not really.)

Now for a KTUD8 (Katie Update)
Life has been okay over past few weeks... just fast and confusing... I guess the biggest event last week was Solo and Ensemble for Choir which didn't go too bad. Our ensemble got a surprising 1 for the lack of full group practices we had. I started singing the wrong verse in the middle of my solo so the results weren't as impressive... a 2, which is actually okay for a freshmen. We had a TAKS test today which wasn't exciting. I was the 2nd to last to finish in my room which got me a lot of stares from everyone else but I think I did good myself. Spring break is coming (I can't wait for a break!) but next week the big Science Research Project is due (yikes!) I'm almost finished... in fact, I might just finish it right now. Until next week!
Katie!
