I try to spend at least 10 minutes on this site everyday. It's a site called Free Rice. http//:www.freerice.com At this site you are given questions in various subjects. which include, but are not limited to, Element Symbols (You'll love this Ms. C!!), Spanish, Geography, Math, and English vocabulary. When you are on this site you answer questions in a subject of your choice, each correct answer earns you 20 grains of rice. What good is this to me, you ask? I'll tell you what good it is. Every single grain that you earn is donated to hungry people all around the world! Just think about this, you learn things, and hungry people get to eat because of your knowledge! I mean, how cool is that!??!

FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary and other subject matter to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This site is FREE! FREE to use, FREE to give. Just think of how much time you spend on the computer daily, you probably are on for at least an hour a day! If you spend TWO minutes each day on this site, you could provide a starving child with their meal for the day! This site is a great SAT prep tool too! :)



This site is amazing. And it only works if they have your support. So what I ask of you is this. Go to www.freerice.com , spend 5 minutes having fun learning, then provide a hungry person with food. This can only be beneficial if you do something NOW! DON'T procrastinate!! Go to the site NOW! it's www.freerice.com If you go now a child on the brink of starvation may get breakfast when they wake up in the morning! Do this, not only for yourself, but for that small starving child or adult. They thank you!!

Our Young Old Teacher

Our online chemistry teacher, Shannon C'de Baca, is a young old lady. What do I mean by that? Well, the best I can describe is that she is NOT your average cranky old teacher who thinks all children are pests and is glad she never was one. And believe me I’ve known plenty of those kind. She doesn’t believe in strict old ways of teaching either (obviously if she’s an online teacher). She cares about each student she teaches. That’s one of the problems with a lot of today’s teachers; they don’t care. I don’t know…. It’s just really hard to describe. She doesn’t seem or act as old as she really is (I don’t think she would appreciate me saying how old she is). I can’t say enough good things about her… and I’ve only met her once in person! This is a shout out to the teacher whose last name I can’t pronounce! Ms. C! We love you!

Display Picture

In case you haven't noticed we now have a display picture! I drew it (Niran) to represent me and Hannah. I'm on the left and Hannah's on the right. I made us extra cute and chubby! Go chibi style!

What's with 'i' before 'e?'

What is up with that rule? What about weird? Doesn't he feel lonely?!?! The english language is so weird...they have all of these different rules and exceptions to everything!! I think learning English as a second language would be so difficult! And it just keeps growing!! There's like 4x more words now then there were in Shakspeare's time. Some examples are; blog, internet, phone, photo, etc. It's CrAzY!!! And now we have TONS of ways to say everything! ex. good>not bad>great>unawful>awesome>wonderful>amazing>etc. <

Disturbed Sunbathing

I wrote a descriptive paragraph for English class that had a change of mood transition between paragraphs. I decided to share it!

I sigh as I lay myself down on the beautiful, crowded, Florida beach. There is a nice breeze coming from the south. It’s the perfect day for sunbathing on the white sand. I relax my legs, turn my hands palm up, and close my eyes. I'm welcoming the sun to whatever skin my swimsuit has left exposed, letting it wash over me. I feel a small wet drop splash on my face. It’s probably the salty, ocean spray...

I hear rustling all around me. People are leaving! I feel another splash on my face, then another, then another. Slightly annoyed from the people and the splashes for disturbing my peace I try to focus on the sun again. I find that I can't; I feel no warmth. Another splash lands on my lips. I taste it. The tiny splash does not taste salty like ocean water should. It tastes fresh, it tastes like... rain. Finally, I open my eyes. The sky is no longer sunny and the beach is nearly empty of people. Out of the corner of my eye I see cars in the parking lot driving away. Then, the downpour starts. I squeal, jump to my feet, and race to my car. By the time I get there I look like I've been swimming in the water rather than sunbathing. I open the car door, get in, and slam the door shut. I sit and stare for a moment and then groan. A perfect day completely ruined by the stupid weather. Well, I guess there will always be other sunny days.

The world is going places we don't want

Mad cow disease, bird flu, and e-coli! Well, we might as well starve! As of today I am officially a vegetarian. Not really. Although the other day I had veggie burgers for lunch and I hate to admit it but it tasted pretty darn good. Of course I'm going to get sick of beans, beans, beans all the time but oh well. Don't even get me started on the the stock market or global warming.....

Nevermind, too late. I already got myself started. I was chatting with some of my fellow classmates in my online chemistry course a couple weeks ago about global warming. Nearly everyone thought global warming doesn't exsist! "Isn't it just a theory?" NO!!! There is mountains of proof it exists. We are YEARS past proving it exists. Now we need to find how to at least slow it down if not stop it. I can't believe they thought it was JUST a theory. So to prove that it exists I recommended a documetary by Al Gore called "An Inconvenient Truth" and I gave them a couple of other websites. THEN they tried to discredit my evidence by saying "its kind of hypocritical for a guy who has his own private jet to be talking about global warming." First of all how would they know if he has his own private jet? Did they look it up? Doubtful. Second, did I say listen to Al Gore? NO. I said watch the documentary for PROOF that global warming exists. Just FACTS. Forget who is presenting it. I don't even think they looked at the websites I gave them. They just latched on to something political and held on for dear life. Global warming should NOT be a political subject. In the end the teacher sort of agreed with me. HA!

I think I'll save the stock market for another day. Maybe my "twin" will pick up on the topic.

I gotta Tell you guys the world is going somewhere we don't want it to go. I'm gonna miss it won't you?

I can't concentrate when....

I can't concentrate when there is a new book out in a series I like and I haven't read it yet. It’s especially bad if the previous book left on a cliffhanger. Something like, "His stooped figure came towards me with a knife in his hand. I always wondered how I would die..." What is that?! If the ending is like that, I throw the book down and stomp around my room huffing and puffing. Over the next couple months my foot bounces up and down in anticipation whenever I think about the series. Sometimes I get so angry that I say I hate the author for writing such and ending, but I really don’t. How can I hate them when they write such fantastic books? Finally the book is out and I beg my mom to take me to the library. She doesn't object because she usually reads the same books I do and is as anxious as I am. After we get to the library I practically jump over the librarian’s desk to get to the reserved book. I walk out of the library my nose is stuck in the book. “I duck out of the way as he tries to attack me with a murderous look in his eyes…”
