Hey Everyone

So, biology class was really interesting today. we watched a video about a cancer research study that happened like seven years ago. so, back in like the seventies, there was this drug to make pregnant women not have morning sickness, but their kids ended up being deformed because of this thing called angiotensin. basically, it stopped new blood vessels from growing in the baby. so, this old dude was trying to figure out how cancer cells could be stopped from growing, and realized that the problem wasnt the tumors, it was the healthy blood cells feeding the tumors. this other thing called angiogenesis, or the growth of new blood cells, happens with the tumor. in other words, the tumor gives off some chemical that calls blood vessels to it, and where there shouldnt normally be blood vessels, such as in your cornea (the clear part on the top of your eyes), start growing and feed the tumor that wouldnt otherwise be growing. So, this drug that made kids deformed stopped the growth of blood vessels, so, after decades of testing, they found the one molecule that safely did that. they tested it in rats, made it into drugs, tested it in humans, and it worked on most people. out of 25 people, only 2 didnt improve. so there are like 2 drugs out there that usually work for cancer patients, and it isnt a poison like chemo is.

I'm full

Grace just told me she went to larry's. the best pizza place in the world. she is trying to make me want some,but I amfull. then she says that it is the alfredo kind.... still not working. I am full.... i ate a huge disgusting pot pie that was very dry and burnt. i am really thirsty for fuze.... and she is working on my brain by saying she had a chocolate milkshake. at least she didnt say she got something from wawa. that would be unbearable. then she goes and says, wait aimee. i got a cow tails from wawa. now i want to kill her. and she had one of their frappe thingys!

AGH

So Not only do I have the last quiz meet coming up that I have to study for, I have to study for a biology test that we have thursday. I have to retype a thinga magigy on some drug for schizophrenia that is do thursday. I have to do a blood pressure project that is due monday. I have to clean my room.... again. I had mostly cleaned it last sunday, but someone put their boxes in my room, and I have an old toybox in my room that I have to find a place for... that should take care of my games and such. Then, I have to do more homework in business math, apex math, history, and american lit. see ya.

hungry

I am starving to death!!!!! So our last quiz meet is this saturday (for the year) then we have district if we make it, which we should since we were first place in december and we are usually pretty good. I think it all depends on if we do really good this time or not. Anyway, I refused to get tmobile, so I have to save money to buy a verizon phone myslef.

dont feel good

I dont feel good today at all. I dont feel pucky though, so I guess thats good. I am taking the compass today, but I'm not going to register for spring quarter. I am already behind in high school, and I dont think I can keep this up until the summer. It just doesnt seem good. Everyone else besides mom agrees that I shouldnt do spring quarter since I have so much on my plate, and that would free up space in my life for a dance class at the ymca and kickboxing, both of which give me highschool credits, and dont have homework taking up my time.

My poor sister

My poor big sister hurt her back the other day. Tomorrow I have to retake the math part of the compass so I can get into a college level math, so I can get into a program, so I dont have to be kicked out, and register. Meaning, I need to get some dough. However, one person owes me 20 bucks and the other owes me 10 dollars, so it doesnt look like i'll get much money anytime soon. also, as if i have too much money, my mother thinks valerie wont be able to afford me much longer. i would love to babysit her kids for free, but i need dough, and I dont have much time to get it. i mean i have to pay stuff just like everybody else. just because im younger than most of the poeple that i know doesnt mean that i shouldnt have any money and they should get it all. also, the mean person in asl wasnt there wednesday. she likes to tell me that i dont understand the world because of my age. she says i will understand men when i am older. i think she is and i-d-i-o-t. im not trying to be mean, but i dont think my mom, who is 40, even understands men, and she is extremly brilliant. she homeschooled my sister and me for most of our school lives, and she has marriage problems. dont try to tell me that my misunderstanding of testosterone is because im a baby. the whole reason i am where i am is because i am not like all the other people my age, however, she loves to judge people.
whew. okay. so, i made some more cookies, and i put them too close togther. two of them had joined together and looked completly like a butt. then i said, mom,do you think its a boy butt or a girl butt and she said girl, and i said, no, it has to be a boy butt, because its perfect and all the girls i know say that they hate their butts.
i was ofcourse joking. i dont really think that. and ayways, nobody's butt is that flat.

*sigh*

So.I have been working very hard to attain to financial and scholastic goals. I suppose its working, but I am tired. Ms. Brenna is spending the night at our house and is like super tired and bored or something. She doesnt like anything I do, so it is really hard. She always wants to go swimming at the y. I am sick of swimming at the y. I want to dance and sing, and play instruments. So, I retired last night very early in the morning. I think I was going to go to bed at 1024 last night, but I was really sick of having a mess in my room, so I got back out of bed and proceeded to clean. I really sort of enjoyed myself. I was cleaning in happiness listening to a book on tape. Agh my parents are driving me up the wall.

finally!!!

So, just tonight, we finally got the internet hooked up again! I finished my research project which by the way, I have been working on for 2 weeks and had only looked up one website till today. I got paid 70 dollars for babysitting yesterday and gave 5 to my mom because she held Emma while I went "potty", since I was babysitting all day and DONT have a kidney infection, making it hard to constantly hold a sick 2 year old the entire time. So, after saving some of it, I went shopping again today. Just to let you know, nothing calms and destresses as well as shopping when you have tons of dough. In March, I am going to start doubling the amount I save for going to New York with my sister this summer. So, all is well.

yo

Hey guys. Guess what. I was sick monday. babysat yesterday. v. busy today.
