Modern Proverbs

I got this in a email! Enjoy! Proverbs that apply to everyday life. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. There is great need for a sarcasm font. How the he ck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? Was learning cursive really necessary? Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the Person died. Bad decisions make good stories. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any chang...

These.....are some screenshots of my charter school home.

Read the previous post first. http://amaranthineforever.blogspot.com/2010/04/subject-change.html This is my homepage. This is what happens if you click "Lesson List". My school is divided into units for each subject, with lessons. You do one lesson a day. You choose subject, unit, and lesson for a list. This is a page from one of my science lessons. For science, you don't have a textbook. You click through the screens and take notes and whatever, and then you get a little assessment in the end. See, this lesson has 10 pages. For history,algebra, and stuff, they send you the textbooks and give you the page numbers to read/do. Hope you enjoyed learning more about my school! ~Amaranthine

Subject Change

Today is the day where I change the point of this blog to something people want to read about. OK. My conversations when I meet people go something like this: "My name's Amaranthine." "Oh, that's so cool! What school do you go to?" "Umm...." Okay. The truth is, I go to a charter school. Now you may be wondering what that is. In order to avoid explaining, I used to tell people I was homeschooled. A charter school is very similar to homeschool. It's registered at a public school, but "they" send you all the materials in the mail and you get your lessons online. It's K-high school, and we use the program k12 through CAVA. It's complicated. Once a week, I used to go to a weekly program that's like a red brick school, called CD. Today was the last day(where we did history reports, remember?) but other than that, I contact other students and teachers through email and a classroom-thingy online thing called Elluminate. It...

Reports at CD

Today was torture, listening to about 40 kids do history presentations....one after the other after the other......aagh. I understand how it can "help" kids become better public speakers..but couldn't they have PARTNERS or something? I'll never understand the school system.....it was pretty much three hours watching other people stumble through their reports. And they could have done it on different people! I counted: At least nine reports on Archimedes Two reports on Hippocrates Three reports on Albert Einstein Two reports on Franklin Roosevelt(including mine heh heh) Three reports on Thedore Roosevelt Plus, some had conflicting information. Like some said he was born in blahblah BC and some said he was born sometime else! It would have been funny if my brain hadn't been killing me. Like, the very last report, people were getting really anxious. We'd been sitting there for like, three hours! When the guy said "Archimedes was a great mathematician...

Funny Signs

Random funny signs. Enjoy! Taken from my website www.sites.google.com/gravityneednotapply. Random assorted signs and quotes. Enjoy! OH NO!!!!!!! GET THE TOILET ROLLS! NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! I wouldn't want to pay that fine.... I noticed. Really. {says to officer giving a ticket} "I tried, I really did."

New series: Something good that happened today

I am starting a new topic of things that can make my day awesome or horrible. I will bring out my own optimism, and in the meantime you can learn some more about me and what I like to do! (if you haven't looked at my profile yet.) I'll also post the occasional review, funny video, story, poeAt the end of this madness, I hope you will see how little things can make/break your day. Something good that happened today: I had spaghetti for lunch, and I'm almost done with my report! Did I mention that I have a report and oral presentation on Franklin D Roosevelt due tomorrow? Yeah... It started a couple weeks ago, and now I know more about Franklin Roosevelt then I ever cared to. I have MTAC's piano competition on Sunday. I hope I win something! Something awesome for you to watch. Youtube's VenetianPrincess's parody of Lady Gaga's Poker Face!(Yes, a lot of possessives in that sentence) http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=h47fNaOb-JU&feature=channel For those o...
