I Don't Get It

I don't understand. People think that my science project is inhumane. So what? So I killed a few crickets....heheh actually 33 crickets. But for the sake of science! Today I had to speak up in front of everyone in the class about my science project and I just said "so in my experiment I ELIMINATED crickets', and then lots of people were like *GASP*, and then massive negative comments popped out. People were like "OMG that's so horrible!" "It's wrong! What happens if you are a little human and there are giants threatening your life and blah and blah blah blah"...Seriously. It was PATHETIC. It's suppose to be a SCIENCE PROJECT. Duh.

That's Our Experiment!

Okay, so today we did this experiment for our science assignment. We were suppose to find out the density of a person------and unfortunately, Les became our guinea pig. We filled the bath tub with 90 L of water and she jumped in, and taped the risen water level. Then she jumped out and we poured about 66 L of water to reach the tape. So that was the volume. But we still needed the mass, but fortunately Les remembered her weight from two weeks ago and we had volume + mass. Okay, so the formula goes like this... Density equals Mass divided by Volume (Or so I remembered:  Dumplings equals Mushroom divided by veggies). We got a fascinating result------Les' has less density than water! Holy Cheese Cake with Carrots! Oh, that's why humans float on top of the water...Shunnnnnnn...

Oh No!

My science project is NOT going too well. I had to import termites and I need that permission form...but I have waited for such a long time and they still won't give it to me. I checked my dad's mail everyday, and found nothing. Today when I came home and checked my dad's email (I go on his account all the time), I found a new message. I was so excited, because I thought I would FINALLY get my permission form. But nooooooo, I didn't. Instead, it was a message from the department telling me that I need to complete ANOTHER application form (I think it was the" plant protection" application or something like that) and forward it to the department in Ottawa! Now this is getting complicated. I had NO IDEA it would become this way. I reply to the email and asked why I needed to fill out another application form. Hopefully I will get a response by the end of this week. They are just too slow!

It's Mailing Day

Today I had to mail the original copy of the application for animal import directly to the office in Surrey. I have already faxed the second application to them, but they still needed the original copy. I almost forgot where I put the copy but I found it anyway, just under a pile of books. Yep. My dad had left it there. I quickly went on the department's website and copied down the mailing address for the office in Surrey, then I shoved the original copy into an envelope. My mom then gave me some money to buy stamps because we ran out of them. We are really lucky that we have a post office right outside our building. I went to the post office and purchased 12 Christmas stamps and stuck one on the envelope. I gave the letter to the staff and that was it. I had finished the mailing process! Now I only have to wait patiently for a response. Oh boy, I hope I will get that permission from the department!

Another Science Test!

Today at Applied Skills we had another science test because Ms. Smedley had switched classes with Mr. Olson. I came prepared and all ready to go. I was a little bit frightened at the beginning because I was not sure if I had studied enough. But when I got the test I smiled. They were all questions that I know! I quickly wrote down the easy answers and then moved onto the hard ones. Actually, there were no really hard ones because I have studied really hard last night and basically understood everything in Chapter 2. The organ system mix and match took me some time because I was not that familiar with it, but I think I did okay. I matched all the ones I knew and then slowly matched the rest up using what I have learned. This test was definitely way easier than last time's science test, and I think that I will get a decent mark on it. This has also taught me a very important lesson: Study hard for a test and you will get satisfying results. Although I do not know what I will get, I am still very confident that I will do a very good job on this.

Must...Nail This Test!

Tomorrow we are going to have a science test and I must nail it in order to get an A. Last time's test score wasn't as good as I thought it should be so I must do my best on this test and increase my score. This test focuses on Unit 1, chapter 2 on diffirent cell functions and such, and it's not that hard, but I still need to study and review it. Last time before the test we all did "cheat sheets" which were actually like review sheets, but this time the teacher told us not to do it because we don't have time. Oh well. But tonight I will make a little quiz to test myself and see how I would do. This way I can review and practice at the same time. Well, I better get to work now, because there's plenty to do. I am planning on doing one full page of notes and then maybe two pages of quiz. I better get started.
