Squeaky box gone
Me and my dad were given a magnifier/reader by my late grandfather. We have no use for it since nether of us are bad in the eyesight area, so we decided to give it to a man named Ranger Rick(no lie, that's his public name.) Ranger Rick has been a avid supporter of the local boy scouts for years. Incidentally, over all of those years, his eyesight hasn't exactly grown well, if you know what I mean. So as a gift, we decided to give Ranger Rick the unused magnifier/reader.
The only problems? 1) They're heavy and 2) It makes a lot of noise.
One of the boxes was packed tight with Styrofoam, so every time the car made the slightest movement, it screeched. It nearly drove us crazy, but we managed. When arrived at the scout hut, we found that it was locked. One of the people in charge handed us a small box of keys. We spent the next 15 minutes looking for the right key to unlock the door. We finally got the door open, dropped off the magnifier/reader and nearly ran out of the hut. It's what the Star Wars fanatics say; "Watch out for the Hut(t)"
So after that crazy adventure, we went home and chilled. I got out my laptop and sent Shar an email, (hint hint, Shar.) Oh well, see you guys.
O.Y.A. (Oh Yeah And)- Shar and I finished creating the Drac Clan Runescape thing. Check it out on http://www.dracclan.webs.com/

S.A.T. Essay
This is the practice SAT essay that I took. I had 25 minutes to create it. I hope that you like it.
Destiny has been man's savior, man's curse, and man's love. Through the course of history it has played many roles, under many names. Throughout this, though, one thing has remained the same; destiny only comes to those who create it. Destiny is achieved through a series of choices made in everyday situations, everyday.
A great number of Americans believe in cause and effect; everything is done for a reason. By this belief, one can explain all of life's phenomenons. Destiny is the effect of thousands of everyday choices. The saying, "If you do nothing, nothing will get done," has tangible truth to it. If we wait all day for destiny to come to us, we will never get anything to happen. This has been proven by countless other role models.
The great world renown leader in human rights, Nelson Mandela, believed that to receive great things, you had to do great things. Historians know that if it were not for Mandela's initiative, many other human rights activists would be without a role model to base themselves off of. Nelson Mandela created his destiny, instead of waiting for it to come to him.
Destiny is achieved through the choices we make everyday. Cause and effect has proven this time and time again. World leaders have been influenced by this. Man has two choices concerning destiny; either to sit around and wait for it to come to him, or to get up and make his own destiny.

Freaked out and smart
OK, so here I am, being bored half to death in 1st period, S.A.T. Prep, when a piece of paper lands on my desk. Looked and groaned. It was a practice SAT we had spent a week on. Looked again and smiled. "Critical Reading: 590," "Writing: 700," "Math: 620." For those of you that don't know, 800 is the highest that one can score on a section. Four-year colleges start accepting students at 490-600; they don't even expect you to get a 700! The teacher calls me up and starts going serious about how I should take the SAT and send to a 4-year college so that I don't have to take it as a junior or a senior. I'm a freak'n sophomore! Then, during 2nd period, everyone who took the PSAT, (Practice SAT) in October (That's me!) was told to report to the cafeteria to receive their test scores. Mine? Freak'n test score of "Critical Reading: 640," "Math: 570," "Writing: 560." And the PSAT is supposed to be harder than the true SAT. I even beat Matt at "Critical Reading!!!!!" I'm freaked too, because this guy gave the same exact lecture that my first period teacher gave(more or less.)!!!!! Email me!

Another day.
There has been a bit of a redistricting problem lately with North West High School. Idiotic school board members have not recognized that there is no reason why they can't change the lines so that North West can get more students. If North West can't get enough students, we will be dropped to a 2A school and lose many of our honors programs. our Civics class is going to the government building for a field trip and the main reason why-we-won't-be-good-anymore school board member will be there. We were warned to keep the insults at bay, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.

Welcome to flames
I don't know what came over me when I was writing the title for this post. Must be a lack of off time. I've decided to start playing runescape, so that I can recruit new dracians. I will be sitting on the bridge near Lumbridge if you are looking for me.
