AP

Thank goodness, it's over!

I think only I would find a way to cut myself during an AP test. And it wasn't a paper cut-the stinking staple cut me. 

I didn't quite grasp the concept that if you leave a question blank then it doesn't count against you. Needless to say, I answered all of them. It's a bit disappointing. 

I liked the DBQ and I thought I did OK on the FRQ's. I didn't feel super confident about them however. I also finished early with like twenty minutes to spare, much sooner than I thought I would. 

I'm just glad it's over and I'm not doing anything for fourth block this semester. 

Robespierre

Today is Robespierre's birthday. He was born in 1758 and he's kind of radical.

Apparently, his disliking of the French monarchy can be dated back to when he was eleven years old. He was just about to read some Latin verses he had written in honor of the king when his carriage went by, splashing mud all over Robespierre. How sad is that? I just picture a little Robespierre, smiling with his Latin verses and then all of his visions of the monarchy are shattered and it's a blow to his ego. He frowns, someone probably laughed at him. It's so sad. 

Yes, I'm feeling sympathy for Robespierre, the man who killed thousands of aristocrats during the Reign of Terror.

Question: My brother Luke is in the Missionary Training Center, preparing for his mission to Hiroshima, Japan. He met this other guy there named Elder Hancock (or something like that). He [Elder Hancock] wrote me a letter and it should be here soon. Is that weird? Cause I think it is. Should I even write him back? I DECAY!

Face Painting!

So Friday I went face painting! And, Andrea, contrary to what you said, I did not make any little children cry. I painted kitty faces, clown faces, butterflies, rainbows, baseballs, and hearts enough to last me a lifetime. 

My favorite was when this boy wanted me to paint his face like the Joker's. I think his brother, this kid at my school named David Sparling, and his friend, Austin, were pressuring him into doing this. His hair was also spray painted green. I painted his whole face white, outlined his eyes in black, and outlined his mouth in red. We-David, Austin, and I- then smeared the paint all over this kid's face and he looked pretty good.

Later on in the evening, when all the little kids were at home and going to bed, I painted Michelle's face. As you can tell from the picture, I did a great job. I put the orange dots on her face, the blue star, the tilde, and the green curve. Rae did the butterfly. Although you really can't see it, I painted my hand purple then put a hand print on the one side of her face. I then put purple sparkly swirls inside of it. 

It was pretty fun.
