One year!
I've been on LJ for a year today! Woot! And all that jazz.
First full week of school, and I started off by nearly missing the bus. But I didn't. Ick, that was obvious.
I'm joining the school newspaper! They really, really, desperately need someone who can EDIT that thing half-decently. The editing last year was atrocious. "Awful" is not a strong enough adjective for the editing last year. They're both cool. Also, Hilary & I have an idea for a section - "Culture Corner," with a short article in a different language (or just about stuff that's happening elsewhere in the world), and some artwork or a recipe or something relevant frmo another culture.
Our school's really into international social service, so I think it would be fun to do stuff about ares of the world that we do service projects in. Which is mostly Africa. We should do an Asian social service project. And another in New Orleans.
I babysat last night, for my neighbor's kids, Charlie (8) and Miriam (5). They're really well-behaved, except Charlie likes to try to play video games when he's not supposed to. I'm wise to that- I've got brothers, too. But if you tell him he can't and give him something else to do, he stops.
Ooh, also, we had to take a reading assesment today and they spelled words wrong in the questions. That really annoys me, because it's an Enblish test! It doesn't make me confident in my teacher's ability to teach his subject when the test is mispelled!
