What I've been up to

Well hello there, long time no see. I'm still alive in case you are wondering, here's what I've been up to:

• Went to the most amazing Boys Like Girls concert ever and as a result developed an obsession with a band called A Rocket to the Moon.
• Got my first B on a report card.
• Saw New Moon and didn't like it.
• Read a book about football.
• Watched a lot of football.
• Cried over a football match.
• Listened to "I've got Nothing" way too many times.
• Started looking forward to going to school because that meant I won't have to do as much work as I have to do at home.
• Wrote a 10-page paper on Don Quixote
• Shit, I'm about to be late for a study session...

The Adventures Of The Dinosaur Cookies

School has officially began, and so have the homework assignments. In English we are studying sentence structure and one of our assignments was to write a story using simple, complex, compound and compound-complex sentences. I found my story rather entertaining, so I think I should post it here:

    I baked dinosaur cookies. Nadine and Maya helped me too. I placed the cookies in the oven and waited.  I checked on the cookies and they were baking. We took out the cookies; they were not ready. Suddenly they came alive; we screamed and Nadine ran under the table. Eventually we came out of our hiding spots, I looked at the cookies. The dinosaurs were eating the kitchen counter while we stared. The counter, when we looked closely, was made of chocolate brownies. While we stared, the cat appeared in the room and she sniffed the dinosaurs. She started hissing at the cookies, as they diminished the kitchen; we feared they would get into a fight.  The dinosaur cookies scattered all over the floor, and they ran out the open door, because of that we never saw them again.
