Canoeing and schooling!

I'm in Advanced reading in my school and we're doing a project for the book we're reading, Rascal. In Rascal, Sterling is building an 18 foot canoe. So our teacher for Advanced reading, Mrs. Lunetta has had her 5th grade students build an 18 foot canoe over the past few years. So, obviously I'm building an eighteen foot canoe with all the 5th graders. This canoe is made out of rolled up newspaper. This is how it works. We were split up into groups, and each group is building one section of the canoe. Our group (Sarah, Nick, Jamey, and me) are building one of the ends. It is so frustrating! We roll up bunches of newspaper and tape them together. Sarah and my hands turn black from the ink. Our fingers are shaking up a storm from rolling 5 million rolls. We're put in pressure by Jamey who is soo cranky!

Sarah and I keep our selves amused with Kohl's and macy's ads, interesting news articles like the ones about Congo the dog or what ever his name is, and this one section in The times called Date or Mate, where people write a discription of themselves, their age, and what kind of person they want for a mate and put it in this section. In a way, it's kind of funny to see what these people say. There is Men seeking Women, Men seeking men, and Women seeking Women. I know, kind of inapprpriate for school, but no one really cares. Mrs. Lunetta lets us wear our slippers in her condo though. It feels so good to wear cozy, flexable slippers or cozy socks instead of toe squeezing, bulky shoes or boots since it's winter.

Well, I'll be writing next weekendish.
