Lunar Eclipse

For those of you who haven't heard on Tuesday, August 28th there shall be a lunar eclipse (a total lunar eclipse at that). So starting at 4:51 eastern time the moon will gain a redish glow to it. The next eclipse after that won't be until Feburary 2008.
Time for a little lesson (if you don't already know this):
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth moves infront of the sun making it so that the suns rays are not able to reach the moon which puts the moon in darkness. This occurance makes the moon appear to glow red.
It shall be something different to see.

Punishments...and Loop Holes

During the school year when I am punished there are always loop holes in those punishments, why because of homework. These loop holes are easily found if you realize them. Punishments and loop holes:
  1. No computer- many assingments when you reach high school have to be typed up, meaning you need the computer to type the assignments, and more than one program can be opened at once. This allows you to have your homework and something else up at the same time.
  2. TV- for things like english and business you can claim that you need to watch commercials to watch how the people talk and use words/images to get your attention in a few seconds. It would be best to refresh your memory and not go by what you were not paying attention to a few days before.
  3. Reading (I love to read so no books is a punishment for me)- you can't read you can't read the notes you write so you have no way to study, reading a book for english or the old way of sticking the book inside of a binder or text book.

If you use the careful and wise, some people are harder to fool than others.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

When I think of school (which starts soon) I always think of the homework excuses used when homework is incomplete. But we do not only use excuses for school we use them everyday. I decided to write some excuses that we use for different things. There are house cleaning excuses:
Why The Dishes Aren't done:
  • If you wait until after supper/ breakfast the dishes from that meal will be done as well.
  • I swear there is no soap left to wash the dishes with.

Why your room is still a mess:

  • You told me to clean the room, so I cleaned it to my standards, this is the result.
  • I can find everything this way, if it's organized I can't find anything.
  • It's a work in progress it should be done within the next century.

Why the dusting isn't done:

  • It looks nice with a thin layer of grey on top.
  • It will only settle back to were it is now within five minutes.

More excuses shall come later on so keep an eye out for them.

Sunburns

So this year I learnt never spend a day on the water without any sum block. Why???? By the end of the day you may end up with a massive sunburn. Well at least I have enough Aloe Vera to last the week 'til the burn disappears. Until then I shall live with the pain and keep the lesson with me for a long time. Or forget and relearn the lesson, which ever occurs first.

Until next time ~Bies~
