Delta

So, I'd like to thank Delta for bringing my grandparents to Georgia. Here's how my day went:
First, I went to school -bleh.
Then, I came home and waited.
And FINALLY, at around 6:34, me and my dad left for the airport.
Around 7:25, we called our -or my, sorry, not my dad's- Grandparents (aka the Wheelers) and they had landed.
Ten or so minutes later, they came out and we put heir stuff in the car.
At 8-somthin' (That's 6-somthin' in Utah) we went to Wafflehouse for dinner.
Sometime later (I stopped looking at the clock) we got home and talked.
Then we went to bed....I start out on a couch, but I didn't like that so I ended up on the floor. It was actually quite comfortable -I don't think my dog liked it though :)

The World

So like, Blogger.com like, has this like, new thing where you can like, personalize your like, blog.

What do you think? Myself? I like the world map thing, but I wish there was something towards the bottom too. Which is why I added the pictures.

Bye-bye 23, hello 27.

This morning was the first official day of my bus being split. Which is a good thing, since we have WAY to many people on our bus, which has 11 and a half seats. Yup, 11 1/2. EXCEPT...this morning I rode with my friend to school, because she only rides the bus in the afternoons. And after school I walked with another friend to a library. So I get to wait until Monday to find out what the new bus routes is.

School Pictures

So, awile ago I walked into homeroom and saw a thing on my desk for picture day, which was that day -and they hadn't told anyone. So I picked my background and in 4th we went to go get them.

Now we have them, and we get to decide if we want to buy them or not. But do you want to see them? Here they are:

Braces

Today, I got braces.

Picture: So, there's my braces!

Oh yeah, click here for that crazy picture my dad put on facebook of when they were putting my braces on.

Well that sucks.

On Thursday, I quit band. When I got my new connections class, it was Careers. A lot of my friends have had Careers, and have often complained of how boring it is. Oh joy. But oh well, I only had one song that I was going to play in out of the three, so from now 'till March wouldn't have been very fun in band, anyways. At least I don't have PE for A and B day :)

News of the World

Today, Monday December 14 (2009) is a A Connections day. But no, really -tonight is the Geminids meteor shower. The moon will be a 'thin crescent moon' near sunrise, 'so it won't dim the Geminids' luster.' Here is what the site says (click title for a link)

How can I best view a meteor shower?

If you live near a brightly lit city, drive away from the glow of city lights and toward the constellation from which the meteors will appear to radiate.

For example, drive north to view the Leonids. Driving south may lead you to darker skies, but the glow will dominate the northern horizon, where Leo rises. Perseid meteors will appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. in mid-August.

After you've escaped the city glow, find a dark, secluded spot where oncoming car headlights will not periodically ruin your sensitive night vision. Look for state or city parks or other safe, dark sites.

Once you have settled at your observing spot, lay back or position yourself so the horizon appears at the edge of your peripheral vision, with the stars and sky filling your field of view. Meteors will instantly grab your attention as they streak by.

How do I know the sky is dark enough to see meteors?

If you can see each star of the Little Dipper, your eyes have "dark adapted," and your chosen site is probably dark enough. Under these conditions, you will see plenty of meteors.

So there you have it. Meteor shower, tonight!
