Our school dance!!!

Last night was our end of the year school dance. It was tons of fun everyone dressed up super nice and all the girls looked like they were going to prom or something, but it was really cool. I wore my friend's dress. It was from gordman's and it was a really cute sparkly purple dress and I also wore sparkly flip flops that matched. I had lots of purple things on such as purple eye shadow and my toe nails and finger nails were glittery and purple also. As you can see I really like the color purple. Overall my sixth grade last dance was the funnest i have ever been to.

Results for the American Idol Finale.

As you all know I have been giving you reviews and results for the contestants of American Idol and what's going on during this season of the show. Last night it was the finale and the top two contestants who had made it that far were Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Last nights show was very entertaining. It included stars and famous bands such as Kiss, Queen, Keith Urban, and much more famous super stars. The winner of last nights show was Kris Allen. They had millions of votes however and it was said that each contestant had atleast ten million votes. That's alot of votes. I bet Adam Lambert will be big in the music indrustry too because in the past years of idol that has always happened. Except for a couple years ago when Taylor Hicks and Katherin McPhee. When they were the two finalists and you don't hear from them very often. You may have heard of Chris Daughtry though who was a cotestant in the same season and he got voted off before the top five and he has had tons of big hits with his band called Daughtry of course.

Track!!!

Track is cool. This weekend I'm going to a track meet. My events are triple jump, 100 meter dash, 4 by 1 relay, and the medley relay. At the last track meet I went to my relay team got 3rd over all. It was a pretty big meet too so we did good for how many towns and countys were there. However I scratched twice on triple jump, for those of you who don't know what scratch means it means mess up in track terms. I got second in the 100 meter dash, but that was only in my heat over all I didn't place. The one thing I love the most about track is that you get to be with your friends like the whole time. During practice and all the time at the track meets. My favorite events are probably the relays because my team and I work really good as a team I think.

Northern and Neon lights. How do they change colors?

The northern lights are a very cool thing to see if you get the chance to. The northern lights are made up of shafts or curtains of colored light visible on occasion in the night sky. The picture above is the northern lights in Aurora. The neon lights also have a similarity with the northern lights from my opinion because as you can see from the images above the Northern lights can switch colors off and on just like how bright neon lights can. Neon lights glow by using a modest electric voltage with electrodes at the end of a glass tube containing the inert gas then the light begins to glow with all the electricity combining together. Neon lights fit their name very well because they are made up of the gas neon, which is what makes up most of the energy for it to give off it's asstonishing glow and light. As you can see above on the right is the neon lights that have the really cool color that they give off and on the left is a picture of the northern lights. The northern lights come in a variety of colors and the hot pink is only one out of maybe 100 or even more. You would have to be out at the right place and the right time to be able to see the northern lights because they come out in the night sky very occasionally.

Disney World!!!

I am going to disney world!!! This is my second time going I went there 1 time before at the end of fourth grade, but I'm sure this time will be much funner. You may think that disney world is for little kids who just like to see mickey mouse and stuff, but actually it is the funnest place I have ever went on vacation to. There is things for people of all ages. For example little rides like it's a small world, which in my opinion I thought was pretty boring because you just rode around in a really small boat listening to really annoying people with freakishly high voices singing a song over and over again.

Okay now lets get to the fun stuff. We will start with the resturants. According to the packets that hold all your information disney world has a total of 140 resturants that's quite a bit. The last time I went my favorite resturant was the Cape May Cafe. It was really cool. You know how at most resturants they give you little coloring books to draw in, well at this one the table cloth would just be a big sheet of paper and it was actually like you were drawing on your table. It was a good thing too that the table cloth was just paper because you got really messy. My favorite meal there was clams o did i mention it was a buffet so you could have as much as you want it was awesome. My parents promised me I would go there. Yes!!!

Now it's time for my favorite time of the vacation which was the roller coasters!!! Me and my dad went on lots because we were the only ones tall enough too, well besides my mom who had to stay with the shorties tee hee!!! Anyway my favorite one out of all the ones I went on was the Rockin Roller Coaster with Aero Smith. Above to the left is a picture of the outside of the roller coaster. The total theme of it was for you to be going to one of Aerosmith's conserts. I won't give you all the details you will have to find out on yourself.

These are not even one fourth of all the adventures you could have in Disney World there is tons to see, but so little time that's what I think because it is only a week how would they expect us to have all that fun in a week? Anyway the one down part about this vacation is that I won't get to see my friends or even talk or text them for a whole week. Boo hoo. O well though I will be back with all my sun burned glory. So hope I have left you on a good note about Disney World.

Chlorine.

Chlorine was said to be discovered in 1744. The discoverers were Carl Wilhelm who prepared it in Sweden and Sir Humphry Davey in UK in the 1800's. Chlorine is the 17th element and it's atomic number is of course 17 and it's symbol is very similar to it because it is Cl which is the first two letters of the word. It also is made up of 18 neautrons. There is alot of history that goes back to 1744 and here is just a little of it. Of course Carl Wilhelm who was the discoverer of Chlorine got most of the information that we have today about chlorine, but some of the things you might not know are that Carl thought that chlorine was a hydrocholic acid. He would heat hydrochloric and maganese dioixide then he produced a greenish yellowish gas and he wasn't sure if it was chlorine yet. Finally the name chlorine got it's name and symbol from the greek word chloros, which means pail green. More information about chlorine that you might not know is that it was used in World War I. How this is possible is that they would use it as a poison and put it on the battle feilds, which later they would egnite on fire. You may have also heard of the gas mustard gas and chlorine was the beginning of mustard gas also.

Now a days chlorine is still helpful in our lives, but in much different ways. Did you know that some of the things that include chlorine is salt it actually uses two elements chlorine and sodium. If you like to swim then you might know that most swimming pools are filled with chlorine to keep it clean.

Above to the right is a picture of chlorine's atomic number, symbol, and, mass number. Hopefyully that gives you a good example of what chlorine is on the periodic table. Hope you have learned as much as I have about chlorine's history, what it is used for, and all of it's atomic number and other things.

Middle School Life

Middle school is way better than elementary by so many ways. Some of the reasons are you can do like anything you want and you only get in trouble for the big things you do. One thing that will always stay the same when people go into middle school is that when you graduate from elementary you are preparing for the great adventures ahead some of those adventures can actually sometimes be found in middle school. Another thing I love about middle school is that at my school the classes are only like 45 minutes to an hous long then we get a 5 minute break to go move around and then go to a whole knew teacher and classroom. This makes the day go by way faster than it did in elementary. SPORTS!!! Would have to be my ultimate favorite thing about middle school. I went out for volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, and now it is track season. Here are some of my opinions about these sports and which ones were my favorite and least favorite. Let's start with volleyball. I like it, but it isn't my all time favorite sport. Now basketball is a whole knew story. It is my all time favorite. Cheerleading I hated lol, but it was a good time to spend with all my friends and on the plus side I got to go to all the b ball games. I love track too. It is also one of my favorites besides basketball. It isn't a team sport unlike the others, but it is very social and it's probably the one sport where you are with your friends most of the time.

There is however some ups and downs in middle school. You know all the drama with relationships, gossip, and all that stuff. Nobody really knows how all this drama gets started first one person says something like I love chocolate milk then once it gets spread around the school it could end up being I love coconut pop lol. This is just an example the real rumor would probably be a much weirder thing. I am for one pretty sick of drama, but o well i doubt it will never stop it's like a way of life everyone spreads a secret once in a while.

Some of my favorite classes are P.E and I know this isn't exactly a subject, but I like recess too. Tee Hee!!! I also like english and math they are two of the hardest and boringest classes, but in math my teacher makes it really fun when you think your about to die of bordom. Well my school year is almost over I only have about 28 more days or so untill it's out for the summer, but I actually have less than 28 days because I get to go to Disnew World!! Ya- Hoo!!! I can't wait for summer to begin and get ready for another day of middle school life.
