Favorite Assignment

2005-06-17T09:49:00.000-07:00

My favorite assignment was probably the Myth cause even though Chelsea and Sydney would not STOP fighting, it was still humourous to walk around the school in our costumes and have people look at us...I especially liked the part where we put pink capris on Kevin and they looked like pants on him!!!It was fun to show the final show but I think it would have been funnier if Sydney didn't show those stupid clips!!!Evil little Sydney...

The Princess and the Pea

The Princess and the Pea

By Hans Christian Andersen
Illustrated by Edmund Dulac

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a real princess. He traveled around the whole world in search of his real princess; but never found her. There was always something wrong with the princesses he found. None were to his taste. They simply weren't real princesses. The prince returned home very sad and weary, for he had set his heart on marrying a real princess.

One evening a storm settled over the land. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Rain came down by the bucket. When the storm raged at its worst, someone knocked on the casle gate and the king himself went down to open it.

On the other side of the gate stood a wet and ragged princess. Water ran down her hair and mud caked her sopping clothes. It flowed in through the heels of her shoes and out through the toes. She said she was a princess and would like to get warm.

"We shall see if indeed she is a princess," thought the queen without uttering a word. She hurried off to the guest room and took all the bedclothes off the bed. Then on the bare bedstead she put a tiny pea. On top of this pea she piled twenty mattresses and twenty feather quilts. That was to be the bed upon which the princess would sleep.

The next morning a servant asked her how she had slept. She replied, "Oh, just wretchedly! I did not close my eyes even once the whole night through. God knows what was in that bed turning me black and blue!"

Now everyone knew that she was certainly a real princess, since she had felt the little pea through all the twenty mattresses and twenty feather quilts. Only a real princess would be so sensitive!

The happy prince married her. The pea was put on exhibition at the royal museum where you can go see it, if it hasn't been stolen.

That was a real story!

My Spring Break

On Spring Break I did lotsa stuff. I went to my cousins house for 2 nights and her and her friend were totally drunk! I wasn't but I was REALLY,REALLY HYPER!! It was so much fun cause her friend ate a whole box of Honey Nut Cheerios and then coated her hair in hair gel and ran around the kitchen and phoned this guy and it was really great! Then we watched The Notebook. It was sad. Then we bugged her dog and drove it ABSOLUTALY NUTS! It was great. Ya...then I went home in the morning and ya I watched TV and ate Fruit Loops cause I was bored. Ya.....then I played The Sims 2 University and it was fun cause I like to control other people that can't hurt me when I do!! Ya,and I watched Spanglish and it was funny. Then I phoned Rebecca when she got back from California and then she came over and showed me her pictures from Disneyland and LA and then she had to go home at 10:30pm cause I got sick and had to go home. Then I went shopping and I pretty much played on the computer and that was pretty much my Spring Break.
