Miss Tandra's Revenge

The thing about kids is, you either love them, or you hate them. I would know, considering I'm in my third straight semester of being a teacher's assistant and am currently handling the most monstrous group of third graders I've ever met. "They were horrible today," I told my mom and sister earlier,... Sign in to see full entry.

I killed 90 people today! Well, not really....

Twice every year, the Princeton High BETA Club coordinates a school blood drive, once in the fall, once in the summer. It's always a big thing, and some people give four or five times before they graduate. Well, ours was today, and since I'm now 17 and able to give, I signed up. My mom advised me...

Around the World in 365 Days

Today, while doing some research for a travel article I'm writing, I came across a book entitled "One Year Off: Leaving It All Behind For A Round-The-World Journey With Our Children". WOW. I'm one of those people who wants to do everything--I'm energetic and the first time I set foot on soil abroad,... Sign in to see full entry.

Rare occurences

I'm not one of those girls who likes to dress up very much, if at all. About the most makeup I ever wear is a bit of mascara and eyeliner, and the only reason I wear skirts is because they're short enough to be cool and comfy in the summer without violating dress code or eliciting the third degree...

EEEKKK....

Spring Fever has hit, and I feel like I'm losing my mind. Last week, I lost points on my biology test (not to mention got a weird look from my teacher) when I misspelled "codons" and wrote about "condoms" instead. For some reason, I've been calling my friend Carrie Cameron, and Cameron Carrie. I can... Sign in to see full entry.

A Question

I've always wondered....if American mothers use little forks and spoons to feed their babies, to Chinese mothers use toothpicks to feed theirs? Sign in to see full entry.

Deal with it!

OK, I admit, I don't completely understand the ways of the world. I'm seventeen, still in school, I live in a very secluded redneck town in the heart of N.C., but I'm not stupid, and I'm definitely not ignorant. My generation sees, hears, knows, and understands a lot more than we usually get credit... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sorry to hear you've passed on...

I have yet another tale from the enigmatic realms of AP English! (LOL) Ok, backstory--yesterday we finished reading Macbeth, which was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Today, we had a writing assignment, which was to impersonate any character in the play we wanted and write a "Dear... Sign in to see full entry.

Jealousy Bites

There's this girl I know. A girl in my English class, and she freaking irritates the crap out of me. I pride myself on doing well in my classes, particularly English since it's my best subject and I want to be a writer. Like a stinker, I went into AP english last semester thinking I'd finally get a... Sign in to see full entry.

My Nerdy Boyfriend and LOTR

As you all know already, I'm a nerd. As you may not know, I have a nerdy boyfriend. We like to have nerdy debates about nerdy things. One of our biggest topics is "Was J.R.R. Tolkien a genius or an idiot?" Well, up until a few days ago, I had only ever read the first couple chapters of the... Sign in to see full entry.
