What have I learned in summer school this week?

So I have finished my first week of summer school. Now, what did I learn in orchestra this first week?
Well, I learned how to adjust a cello to my height. I know how to hold a bow properly, and I don't really get why people say it takes years to practice that. I'm comfortable with the way I hold it, so that must mean I'm doing something wrong.
On Wednesday I learned the strings on a cello are ADGC. My cello buddy and I were making up little things to stand for them so we didn't forget. One of the was Apricots Dance Great Cellos, and another Apples Don't Get Cancer. The next day we learned the notes on the D string. If you put four fingers on the D string it's G, if you put three fingers it's F, if you put one finger it's E, and no fingers is just D. And now, this morning I learned the notes on string A. With four fingers it's D, three fingers C, and one finger is...um...B! Right, B. And no fingers at all is just A. I think that when you hold down a string and play by yourself it makes a horrible screeching sound, or sometimes no sound at all. But when you play with the whole orchestra it sounds very pretty.
I am proud to say that I can play Mary had a Little Lamb or 'Rolling Along' on the cello and other little songs. I don't have them memorized, but I can play with the book.

Cool Rhymes With The Word 'Cello':
A cello can't bellow. Me and my fellow play the cello. If you play the cello you gotta be mellow. I wore yellow when I played the cello. Don't get any jello on that cello! Always say hello when you play the cello!
Hee hee. Those are fun!

Different Test Results

So I retook the quizy thingy, this time the right quiz. And I got....

You are an
ENFJ : Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging. (hm, in both results I got 'feeling' and 'judging')
Warm, empathetic, responsive and responsible. Highly attuned to the emotions, needs and motivation of others. Find potential in everyone, want to help others fulfil their potential. May act as catalysts for individual and group growth. Loyal, responsive to praise and criticism. Sociable, faciliate otheres in a group, and provide inspiring leadership. (I think this profile explains me better.) ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are. ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

TRADEMARK: "The first shall be last" (I don't really know what this means, but it sounds cool)

Famous ENFJs:
David, King of Israel
U.S. Presidents:
Abraham Lincoln,
Ronald Reagan,
Barack Obama. (sweetness!!!! I got Abraham Lincoln AND Barack Obama!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!)

William Cullen Bryant, poet
Abraham Maslow, psychologist and proponent of self-actualization

Sean Connery
Matthew McConaughey (The Wedding Planner)

Personality Quiz

So I took it, and I got: ISFJ. Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging.

ISFJs generally have the following traits:
-Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people
-Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions
-Excellent memory for details which are important to them (like every little detail about socail studies I remember)
-Very in-tune with their surroundings - excellent sense of space and function
-Can be depended on to follow things through to completion
-Will work long and hard to see that jobs get done (if we're talking about homework that I just want to get done, then no)
-Stable, practical, down-to-earth - they dislike working with theory and abstract thought (that is half true)
-Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them (like algebra! haha just kidding)
-Value security, tradition, and peaceful living
-Service-oriented: focused on what people need and want
-Kind and considerate
-Likely to put others' needs above their own
-Learn best with hands-on training
-creating structure and order
-Take their responsibilities seriously (not all the time)
-Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation (I hate confrontation!)

While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list (not true), their families are the centers of their lives (very true). ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle--and often possessive of their loved ones, as well. When these include Es who want to socialize with the rest of the world, or self-contained ITs, the ISFJ must learn to adjust to these behaviors and not interpret them as rejection. Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior.
Like most IS, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFJ:
-Interior Decorators
-Designers
-Nurses
-Administrators and Managers
-Administrative Assistants
-Child Care / Early Childhood Development
-Social Work / Counselors (no way!)
-Paralegals
-Clergy / Religious Workers
-Office Managers
-Shopkeepers
-Bookkeepers (oooooh I wanna be that!)
-Home Economics

Famous ISFJs:
St. Teresa of Avila (Teresa de Jesus)
Louisa May Alcott
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (I know him! He's a famous peot.)
Queen Elizabeth II of England (Huh. Which one was she again?)
Robert E. Lee
Queen Mary I ("Bloody Mary") of England (interesting...I've heard legends about her.)

Summer School Tomorrow

Yeah, summer school's tomorrow. This will be interesting. For the past week or two I've been waking up at 1pm or later, and I don't know how my body will react to waking up hours prior. So anyway, I have no idea how to play a cello. Kinda, I know that you hold the neck part of it with your left hand and the bow with the right. That's it. Then I learned in Music how to write notes, and I know how to play a recorder with notes. I hope I don't learn too slow, because Mrs. Johnnson, my fifth grade Music teacher, would always get real annoyed when a kid didn't learn something right away. I hope Mr. Huckstep isn't like that.
Right now Kelly wants me to join this thing, so I'll go to that in a minute then go to bed. I gotta get up early tomorrow. Even though I'd rather stay up and watch a movie with Amy, Kelly, and Heidi I can't exactly stay up 'til 3am. Well, I can, but not without bad consequences.
So...good night then!!!

Summer is Here...

So nothing special is going on. I go on gaiaonline.com more, 'cuz Kelly figured out how to turn my gaia back into a human. A few months ago my gaia took this potion and turned into a vampire. I didn't like it, because it made her look evil. I didn't know how to get rid of it, so I just put a giant smiley face mask on it. It looked rather stupid, so I just stopped going on gaia all together. But now I can again because my gaia is all cute and human again.
Amy started this 2,000 piece Las Vegas puzzle a few days ago, and we were working really hard on it yesterday. We also put the air conditionar in, for now it is summer and summer has quite warm weather.
Along with summer comes boredom. With no school or activities what are we supposed to do? I wanna chill with Katie, Amy, Heidi, Kelly, and Danny but we're not doing anything!!!! Seriously, I don't want to keep on doing this all summer. Or maybe it's what I'm not doing.
Some things to look forward to: Summer school. I'm taking orchestra, going to learn cello because I have no idea how to read music notes (well, I do, but not very well and not in the cello sense). It starts June 22nd-July 17th. Speaking of July 17th - the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! It was supposed to be in November, but it was moved by the coming of the popular book and now movie, Twilight. Anyway, I'm excited about that. Another thing: The second season of Pushing Daisies. It's a real cool show. Yesterday Amy, Heidi, Kelly, and I watched the last three episodes of season one. The last few episodes were very funny (indeed, Heidi went into laughing fits and cried sometimes), which is why I like the show so much. It left with a sorta cliff hanger, and I want to see what happens in the next season. I also get to look forward to my sixth grade year at Central Middle School next year. And lastly, in November the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, will come out; which I'm sure Kelly will be looking forward to 24/7.
As you can see, this summer has only just begun. *Insert that creepy song "We've Only Just Begun" right here*

Our segment today: Stupid Computer Journals

Sorry if I havn't been putting posts up. I just don't like 'computer journals' that much. Also, in normal journals you can draw silly pictures and doodles and glue and tape stuff in and WRITE in them, as in, not TYPING. It's the satisfaction of turning the pages of blank paper, and filling them with memories. Not just memories of the good times you had, but the memories of your grammar getting better, and your spelling and your handwriting improving. In the future when you look at your journals you're going to cherish them and look through them, remembering the good times. The journal is a part of YOU. Journals are something to write in at the end of a fun, exciting day and reliving it again by writing them down. That's why I don't have a LiveJournal, or really like to write on my Blog that much or like having a computer journal in general. I now and then write litle bits in blogger, and I would find it fun to put pictures up. Thus concluding our segment of Stupid Computer Journals.

Sincerely,
Lilly

P.S. As you can see, in stupid computer journals you can't actually sign your signature.
P.S.S. This does not offend blogger or Livejournal; just ta let ya know.
P.S.S.S. Hey, maybe I'll make this a picture Blog.
P.S.S.S.S. Not like I'll have much to talk about.
P.S.S.S.S.S. I'll try to write more, I just wanted you to understand. I love blogging and following my sisters, and they probably want to do the same to me. Well, some maybe *glares at Kelly who still hasn't raised her hand*

THE DEVOURING

Yesterday it took me a little over six hours to read The Devouring (4pm-11pm minus 1hr for bathroom brakes and times I got distracted by people). It wasn't like I was obsessed with the book or anything (amazing book, by the way), I just wanted to set a cool record. So my sistas (Heidi and Amy) havn't read yet; but the will. YOU HEAR THAT? YOU'RE GONNA READ THAT BOOK. Yeah, I know you're reading this, Heidi.

Kereoke Time!!

Okaly dokely then. When I grow up I want a kereoke, then I can sing all the songs I want. Heidi will be my singing buddy, and Kelly can come in for a trio when she's not being so wimpy.
At this graduation yesterday no one was singing kereoke so Heidi and I sang Ain't No Mountain High Enough, which was quite ridiculous really. Not only had I never heard the song before, but niether has Heidi. So we tried to sing it, but we stumbled at a bunch of parts and I was giggling a lot. The point was that we got other people to kereoke, too. We also sang Livin' La Vida Loca, which I knew way better, and then we sang YMCA which I knew word for word. And when this guy was singing this Joeseph song Kelly, Heidi, Jessie, and I were singing the background sounds the kids in the musical did and the DJ dude had us all take some mikes and go up there and do that. So much fun! After that I think Kelly got over the whole I-don't-want-to-sing-because-I'll-make-a-fool-out-of-myself thing because then she wanted to sing the song Hey Jude with us. So Heidi, Kelly, and I sang our last song. Good ending song, don't you think?
So anywho.....I had TONS of fun with that. Thus concluding this segment of "Kereoke Time!!"

THIS IS A TEST.

If you read my blogs, raise your hand please!!! Okaaaay...how 'bout you comment instead?

Bloggering about BOB.

Well I might as well start with this bloggering stuff.
Today was the final competition of B.O.B. (Battle Of the Books). I wasn't in it, of course. I got kicked out in the third round. Anyway, there was a team from each homeroom that each had to answer the same 30 questions of the 30 books they've read. I found it most annoying when the team was struggling to find an answer when I knew what it was. It's so obvious!! I screamed in my head. I was making all these crazy hand motions at some points, and so were some of the other kids sitting next to me, whispering to their buddies. It was against the rules to give the teams hints of what the answer is, so we had to keep quiet. But after each question the BOB teams got wrong I would mutter to my friend Liz next to me what it was, and we would both nod in agreement. Each time the teams would be asked the third question ("In what book was a window shutter an important hiding place?") they always said "Anne Frank: Life in hiding." BRRRT! Wrong! Right away I knew the answer was "Daughter of Liberty", but of course the kids in the team can't read minds.
After the first two teams had gone, there was a sort of intermission. Mrs. Pyzak got up and announced we were doing the "Toody Ta" to get our wiggles out. It was embarrasing to put my knees together, put my butt up, and stick my tongue out. One part of my mind whispered, "You look like an idiot!" But I ignored it, and was laughing, enjoying myself. Smiling brightly, I sat down after that and we continued the competition.

I don't really know what this BLOG stuff is all about, but my sisters are obsessed with it so I might as well. I probably have no friends ACCEPT them, actually, so why am I talking in general like this? Hey Amy, Heidi, Kelly, and maybe soon Katie! PREPARE TO BE FOLLOWED. Haha. Look at me, laughing at my own jokes. This blog stuff is going to be Fun!!
