Back in school.

  Hello, I am back. Yep, it's raining and it's boring, we all want a sunny day. Here in Michigan, it was pouring frogs (not actually) and thunder wanted to play with us. Though it did give the grass a nice fresh of water. 
 Now to school. Ever thing is back to normal. I am tending to my normal classes, seeing my friends, working well with my teachers, and learning something new everyday. In French 1 B, we are learning how to say family members in french and about France for wedding, holidays, and pets. In Geometry, we had to do a problem that is a triangle. They gave us coordinates that forms a right triangle. I had to look through my notes so that I could find an equation that I learned in Geometry A. It is the Distance Formula. After I found the lengths, I had to find the angles by ratios like Sin. Cosine and Tan. They are used for right triangles only. I had to basically put what I learned last week and this week about how to find lengths and angles with the ratios and the Law of Sine or Cosine. I finished it, now I have to wait till tomorrow to give out our answers. Now in Biology B, we have a project on making an analogy on a cell. I have a partner for this. We came up with an idea of what analogy we would use. The project is due on Tuesday, which gives us enough time to plan and do the project. Next class, World History B, we watched a video about World War 2 propaganda cartoons. Some people were explaining different types and why they were used. I did watch an example in English B called "Education to Death". It shows about a life of a German kid. I did learn a lot from them. What surprised me was that they were made by Walt Disney. I didn't know that he makes cartoons in World War 2. Now final class, band. We didn't play very much music, actually, we only played two musics. He was working with the percussion. They had to fix some things in the music. In the end, we did get to play two songs, Hey Jude and The Final Countdown. 
  Once school finished, I just come home and play the piano. At 6:00, I had saxophone lessons. I practice new scales and other things that has to do with jazz.
    I enjoyed my day. I hope the rain doesn't make everyone's day low. Have a good day.

The Spring Break

    Who had a great spring beak? I know that I had a fantastic spring break. What I got to do was fly to Vancouver, British Columbia to visit my aunt. It is located in Canada, so my parents researched a flight to right on that flies to Vancouver. The airport that I took was O'hare Airport, which is in Chicago, Illinois.  I flew by myself, since the tickets are really expensive. And if you know who flies to foreign countries, you have to go through condoms, which they ask you if you are bringing anything that is legally and why you are going there. I was nervous that they would ask me questions that I don't know. In the end though, I was able to answer to the questions and get to the entrance where my aunt was waiting for me.
   I found her and she was really glad to me and can't wait to spend time with me. While we were still at the airport, we bought some tickets at some locations that Betsy and I would go to. After we bought the tickets, we started our day by riding the train to downtown.When we got to her apartment, I put my stuff up, got in the car, and drove to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanly Parks. While at the Vancouver Aquarium, we saw seals, dolphins, fishes (some was looking at nothing and I was trying to imitate them), baloga whales, and many other sea animals. It was great. :-) 
   We finished looking at the sea animals, we drove around Stanley Park, to Spanish Banks, then to Queen Elma Peter Park. The view was amazing. At one of the parks, we saw the Lions Gate Bridge. It was really long. Trust me.
