Volcano
CNN says that the test planes they put out were fine with all the ash from the volcanoes. Hopefully my dads flight can get out.
Icelands Volcano-WHY???
So my dad is still stuck in Europe and this infuriates me because I miss him so much but the stupid volcano in iceland keeps blowing itself up. He now has plane reservations for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Anything to get him out of Europe.

Long Day
Got my report cards today0 did fabulous as usual. My dads stuck in Europe and can't get a plane out because of safety reasons with the volcanic ash and all. I haven't seen him for a week so its sad-I miss him very much. Today I presented my Sherlock Holmes, Hound of The Baskervilles clue box project and my teacher loved it!!!!!!!! I think I will get a good grade!!! Tonight the power went out for a minute or so-kinda freaky at first then you kinda got use to the idea-then the lights came back on. For lunch I ordered a Greek Salad-thats what I got. Hard working day though because we haven't seen our teachers for 3 weeks because of state testing, and spring break. Lots of homeworok though that we were responsible to turn in, so you had to be very organized about everything. Since it was a Friday were Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers were at school together it was very crowded and hectic as usual, the computer lab jamned with people on chats-or getting their homework due Monday or Tuesday done early. I finished all of my Homework due Monday and Tuesday, except for some Pre-Algebra. Oh yeah and after school when my brother was at the chess club my mom took me to the park and I got to swing on the swings!!!!!! I love the swings!!!!!
BUt I was so tired that on the ride home I fell asleep on my backpack. Today has definetly been another on of those long days at the office. So that is my random blog involving so many things that are just crowding my mind right know. OH YEAH!!! We found an apartment and we signed for it and now it is ours!!!! Or at leastwe are renting it for 6-7 years even though we will only be there for 3-5 years, the reason of renting it for so long-I don't know. Wow this is a long blog. So this is it-for real. So...um...yeah.........Bye

Laser Tag
Hi everyone! Today with my school I am going to lasertag which will be awesome!!!!!
I love laser tag and I think it is so much fun. Right now I am dressed in all black, so people won't see me at lasertag. The only downside is that its an hour ride in the car-but its worth a arcade, and lasertag building rented out just for our school. Plus 3 or 4 hours of it. So it will definetly be fun!!!

Every year, authors, journalists, teachers, researchers, schoolchildren and students ask us for statistics about hunger and malnutrition. To help answer these questions, we've compiled a database of useful facts and figures on world hunger.

(Source: Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency, A Global Progress Report, p2, UNICEF)

Ummm.......
KFC has created a new "food" item to its menu. It is quite, how do you put this, unuseual.
KFC thought that adding a sandwich to their menu wouldn't be good enough
for them. They created a sandwich between meat not bread. Very interesting.
Go to the following link to see a picture and article about the KFC "Double Down:

Traveling
Today we are traveling to a European city. If you don't know flights to Europe are
usually 6 to eight hours long. So you can get bored easily. But on most international
flights they have tvs in the seats with a bunch of movies that you can watch. If you
every travel internationaly I would suggest making your clocks the time it is in your
destination. Then to help prevent jet lag you do what you would normally be doing in that place.
So in my case I will try to sleep most of the time because it is at night in my destination during my flight.
When we get to the city and land I think it will be about 6 am, their time. We will then probably check into the hotel
and settle in, and relax. I wish we could just be there already, you know with like a transporter machine and
you could be in a place far from home in a second.
