Hey guys. This week was very... interesting to say the least. We did our owl pellet dissection lab. I didn't know that owls could eat things so BIG. We also did our Marine Quest field trip where we learned all about marine ecology, and different marine sciences. Other than that, it was a pretty average week. We learned all about birds and mammals, and how they fly, run and how they take care of their young. And no, I didn't mean the Angry Birds that get shot out of a sling-shot. SO yea, pretty fun, if I do say so myself.

I understand almost all of the concepts of this chapter, and I don't really need to study for the test as it's open note, but I should probably organize and review for a few minutes tonight. I am sorry that this post is rather short but I had a really long weekend and I am pretty tired.

Hey. It's me again. This week was mainly dedicated to finishing up the frog dissection, learning about reptiles, and studying fir the reptiles and amphibians test. The test was rather simple but I got and 88. I probably should have studied more for that, but I thought I knew most of it. The end of the frog dissection was pretty fun. I removed most of the organs from our frog, and laid them out like a display. I felt a little bit like a mad scientist, or a psychopath.

I really need to work on my homework habits. I was dropped to a B last semester because I wasn't tweeting often enough. I also need to study more for my quizzes and tests. As the creatures we are studying get more complex, the more I need to study.

We had standardized tests this week, so not much else happened, except my group, and every other group from our school, moved on to State for NHD. And again, this history contest happens to be on the same day as Science Olympiad. I mean really. Two years in a row? I am going to be running back and forth pretty much all day for my events. Good thing the two locations for the competitions are close together.
