As I said in my last blog, I'm now in 9th grade. At my school, we go to our first 4 classes one day, and the last 4 the next day. I still haven't memorized where all the classrooms are exactly because I don't go to the same classes everyday but I hope I will soon. Also, since I live in Kansas where there are alot of tornadoes, my high school's mascot is a Golden Tornado. And the 'bells' after avery class are actually tornado sirens, which I find very annoying.

I've been begging my dad for a cell phone for about a year now, and I finally got one! It's a blue Razr V3.

One day my kitten followed me into the bathroom and found a roll of toilet paper which she started playing with. Then about a week later, I had a roll on my bed (I had allergies and was out of tissues) and she started playing with it. So I recorded her:

Useless Facts:

• According to tests made at the Institute for the Study of Animal Problems in Washington, D.C., dogs and cats, like people, are either right-handed or left-handed --- that is, they favor either their right or left paws.
• A giraffe can go without water longer than a camel can.
• Blue whales weigh as much as 30 elephants and are as long as 3 Greyhound buses.
• Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile; so if you ever find yourself chased by one, run in a zigzag line. You'll lose him or her every time.
• Birds do not sleep in their nests. They may occasionally nap in them, but they actually sleep in other places.
• Most elephants weigh less than the tongue of the blue whale.
• Butterflies taste with their hind feet.
• Only female mosquitoes bite.
• Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as to any other color.
• If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
• Every night, wasps bite into the stem of a plant, lock their mandibles (jaws) into position, stretch out at right angles to the stem, and, with legs dangling, fall asleep.
• Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.
