Impossible motion: magnet-like slopes

Check out this reverse gravity thing. The balls roll up the slopes, with "no magnets." (Kim Komando) I especially think Marina will like this, since she did her science fair project on this stuff. Watch the whole video to see how it works. Also scroll down and check out my blog post titled A Patient, A Doctor,and One Funny Story.

A Patient, a Doctor, and One Funny Story

Well, there isn't really much to post about, but I didn't want to leave my loyal blog followers hanging.And then I thought, why not post some normal day to day stuff? I rarely do it, and that is what blogs are for, correct? So here it is, whether you like it or not, my day to day life...

Yesterday in Science my teacher told us we were going to become doctors and dissect some patients.(We were learning about microsurgery) We would have to remove certain body parts. The thing is, she didn't tell us what they were. Now the girls (not gender wise girls, personality-wise gils) started freaking out, saying they were going to be sick. I am not going to sugar-coat it,I was a little worried about the delicious lunch I packed now probably going to waste, but who doesn't want to dissect things? ( most of the girls in my class, but they would get over it)So my teacher makes us disenfect the tables,scrub up to our elbows, and put on gloves and a surgical mask. She is still not telling what we are operating on, though I'm half-hoping for frogs. Then, she finally hands out the unsuspecting little fruit patients. Yep, I said FRUIT. We were going to dissect oranges and lemons. My teacher had asked for animals, but the school said we weren't ready. Major bummer. We then began the normal (not micro) surgery. My teacher told us to slice the patients in half. Luke, (who is probably going to be one of the only doctors in our entire class) made a careful slice down the "chest" of his patient, not completely slicing him in two, and began carefully removing seeds. I, on the other hand...

Well, let's just say I am definitly not going to consider a career in the medical buisness. I sliced my patient completely in half, which would have definitly killed him, much more than the "cancerous" seeds I was to remove. I then began mulitating the patient loking for seeds. Let's just say I think his "cancer" was a mis-diagnosis. The little bugger had abolutely no seeds. I finally found one, and let's just say by then, he wasn't going to recover.I couldn't even get him stiched up.

Now, moving on to the microsugery. This time I vowed to be civilized. Yeah right. I was suppsed to poke a small hole in Mr. Orange, then fish around for some seeds. Yeah, he must have had a seedless body because trust me, I did a lot more than fish around in there. I think I stabbed his heart through.

So my medical career was a bust. Maybe I'll consider a new job. Only it better be far away from my science classroom, because I think the relatives of my patients might sue me for their babies indefinite hospital stay. Those patients did make great orange/lemon juice though.

Normal Day

Well, here I am, it's a normal day, I am about to head off to school...And yet, I thought it was time for just a little bit of funkiness!








But then, who needs funkiness when you can see a cute, adorable picture of me as a sweet little girl?

Edventure

Yesterday we went to Edventure, a creativity museum in South Carolina. It was a lot of fun! They have a giant (maybe 200 ft?) statue of a kid (named Eddie) and inside of him is a giant playground. You can visit his heart, brain, and stomach. It was really cool. They also had a "grocery store" ,fire engine, a virtual game where you played volleyball with a robot,(It used your real body on a green screen)and a West Africa exhibit. It was a really great place. We loved the water tables and "dump truck". I think that if you have small children this place is a great educational thing to do. If you don't mind driving up to Concord. I will try to upload some pictures soon.


Also, remember the friend I told you about, Marina, who just started blogging? Well her sister, Sophia, has begun a blog too. Go to www.sophiabarham.blogspot.com to check it out.

Funny Comments in Todays Paper

Now you know me, and you know that I am not a policital person. ( I don't even know how to spell that) I don't see what the big deal is about everything. I mean, I look in the newspaper and the first section is half politicial and half crime. It's sickening. I think it would be a lot easier if we didn't have stuff like that and just lived simply. With technology of course. Hmmm, that might be kind of hard.... But even I get a kick out of the occasional policticial joke. Here are some funny quips from The Charlotte Observer........


" This oil spill in the Gulf is affecting everybody. In fact, when I went to lunch this weekend and ordered the sea bass, they asked if I wanted it regular or unleaded."
-David Letterman

Last weekend, President Obama gave an impassioned speech against technology. And then he had to stop when the teleprompter broke."
-Craig Ferguson

"....... Hey, we're Americans, of course we're terrified-being afraid is what we do best. The stars and stripes should be replaced by Shaggy and Scooby-Do, running for their lives."
-Bill Maher

Note: The views in the quotes do not represent the views of the author. I think Obama is cool.

End of Choir, End of a Fabulous Experience

I have been in choir for a long time, but this year was my last year since I am in sixth grade. At the endof year party I got a certificate and a CD. Here is a photo of me and the two choir directors, Mrs. Jenny (left) and Mrs. Melissa. These two work really hard and did a great job on sonseekers and Amerikids. We love you guys!
The end of year party was also fun, with a basketball game and yummy food! If your kid is in 1st through 6th grade you should definetely do choir. It is a great experience for everyone involved.
