Obsession with Seussical Continues

For a while i felt like I didn't want to go to rehearsal because... c'mon its spring break! But this excited me again, so cute! Makes me wish I was Gertrude too, although Maynard probably won't have Nick and Evan become THESE happy parents. Check it out.

Hey, what's up?

I hope everyone is having an amazing spring break. I know my spring break seems to be going a lot quicker than I had hoped. Anyway, during the break, my 5 year old cousins came over to my house and they wanted to make a movie and now its on youtube. So, here it is:

I want to wish all of the latin people good luck at JCL this weekend and I also can't wait for the thespian festival! Have a great last week of spring break!

hey guys check this out. i did a little stumbling.

ellie, you should work for these people!

Earth Day

OK. FIrst of all, happy holidays and spring break. I hope you're all doing fine wherever you are. Also, good luck with Thespian and JCL, since I won't be seeing any of you at either. Too bad I can't go (for me at least, since I had wanted to go). However, my own spring break won't be miserable: I have a couple cello competitions on Saturday, but then on that same day I fly to England. And aside from the competitions and the flight to England, Saturday happens to be my birthday (it sucks to do competitions on your birthday)... and Earth Day!

Which brings me to what I'm gonna say about Earth Day. I just found out a few days ago that during this year's Earth Day (Saturday March 29/my birthday) there's going to be an Earth Hour (8pm), where major cities from around the world will stop using electricity, gas, etc.
The idea is that that whole city will turn black, and that even if it will only turn black for an hour, that hour will be symbolic in the change we humans (that's us, in case you didn't know) will need to fight global warming. So basically, these cities are going to 'switch off' for an hour.
Which cities? I don't know all of them, but some cities are definitely Brisbane, Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, and Toronto.
Anyway, I thought it was a totally awesome idea, and I hope someone takes a photo from outerspace or whatever so I can see the 'blackout' in those cities. Maybe I'll see the 'blackout' on my plane trip to England.
Excuse my childish enthusiasm, but if Earth Hour works, I think it'll be pretty darn exciting (I don't need to be witty or cynical when if comes to the well being of our planet).
So since I thought it was cool, I decided to post this up on the blog for you all to see, whether you knew about this or not.

Have a great spring break, once again.

Shakespeare Quotes

Hey Evan it is Davis.

If the quotation is fewer than four lines,
1. Use quotation marks around it
2. Cite the act, scene and line number(s) in parentheses as below
3. Use a slash (/) to separate line.

Example:
"rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,/Profaners of this neighbor-stained-steel--" (I,i,81-2).

When citing the quote remember the Act is big roman numeral, the scene a small one and the lines written as 20-4 for instance.

If the quotation is four or more line:
1. Indent the entire quote
2. Single space or double space it
3. Do not put quotation marks around it
4. Double space both before and after the quote
5. Do not use slases
6. Cite the act, scene and line numbers in parentheses, after the end punctuation.

I hope this helps
Davis

Quote for yearbook

Hey everyone! This is Ellie. This post is only directed at Davis (sorry, but this is the smartest way to reach people for yearbook I guess, cause we're always using the blog). I need to know if "When you look at Reggie, what do you see?" can be used for your quote cause we need one more. Let me know ASAP (by commenting or something). If you don't like it, make up your own by tonight and put it as a comment or else the yearbook people will just come up with one for you.

Thanks
Peace and love,
ellie

Kristin Chenoweth

I know this is really really irrelevant to everything but... you HAVE to see this. Kristin Chenoweth who is in Pushing Daisies which will return next season, can really sing! Seriously! If you haven't heard Ms. Samson listen to "Taylor the Latte Boy" yet, you should, it's funny. But this video is REALLY amazing. She's a great performer! Ok im done with my rant, just watch the video!

SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL!

Guys, our musical is not just Seussical the Musical, but we got our parts!

I'm so excited!

Good luck everyone on your acceptance letters!

friday free dress theme

hey guys i think it would be fun if our friday free dress theme is like: workout gear. tell me what u think. i kno, i kno, its tre random, but fun at the same time. any other ideas if you don't likey??

hmm...

okay, so i don't think this is the proper use of the blog and i would probably yell at myself for posting this...but, if this is the homework blog, things to do during homework breaks are certainly needed!

So, take a break from the assassination notes and watch this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_xwl0ph67o

accident? i think not...the accent totally puts it over the top! hehe...

also, has anyone else realized how scary friday is???? we find out our parts in the play and acceptance letters are mailed!!!!!!! are we going to have a theme for free dress?

March 8th=Letters Day

Once you receive your letter and have decided where you are going...could you please post a comment saying where that will be.

THESP FEST ALERT

hey...

just a yearbook photo reminder -- during third period tomorrow, we're going to take a group thespian photo.

also, this is the time of year when the yearbook people start breathing down our necks to get the spreads in so the books can be printed -- so, please please please get your photos (baby and current) in for tomorrow, or i will be forced to unleash the evil yearbook wolves and let them eat you... :) thanks!

seriously, though... we keep them in mrs. samson's closet.

Senior Quotes, Most Likely Tos, Known Fors, and Bests...

Ok. this is what everyone needs:

jr- you chose "known for blaming others for no apparent reason," and although I'm not 100% sure most of us know that side of you I guess it's ok... but if you think of a better one, go ahead. you also need a "best"

michael- you ONLY need a "best"

rick- you need a most likely to.

zoey- you need a known for.

kayla- you need a quote, a best, and a most likely to

ellie- think of another quote if you can... you have "peace and love" which is acceptable but... you also need a known for

nick- you need a most likely to

Salvador- you need a known for, most likely to, and quote

Evan- you need a quote

Maddy- you need a quote, known for, most likely to. for some reason I recall having those done but they are not on the list so if I overlooked something, tell me!

Alexander- you need a quote (unless you want it to be "hey, you guys, where's Nick?" but a funnier one would be lovely). you also need a best, and I need to know whether you like "known for contorting his face into strange expressions."

Faliure to come up with any of these, we will result in the yearbook staff making them up for you which may not please you once you open the yearbook in June. Your response can be a comment under this post, or you can text or call me (310)3100121. Or tell me at school tomorrow... if you don't forget! Also, tell your parents that we need those baby pictures in and also a NICE recent photo of JUST you. Recent as in summer 2007 thru present date. The photos Zoey took of the girls DO NOT count as the one's your parents need to turn in. They are being used elsewhere in the Senior Pages. It would be nice if the baby pictures were on a CD, but if they're NOT then just turn them by THIS WEDNESDAY in as they are into Ms. Samson's box in the front office. We will scan them in. that's what your parents need to know. Alrighty well c u l8r everyone!
