blogging

ahh has it realy been over a month since i posted anything to my blog???????????

i am so behind....well i just got done with spring break and now we are heading into another wasl week..luckly i only have to take the science wich mens a few extra hours in the day.

well anyways...ive been working on earth abunch lately and i might turn it into a book using blurb...then i can print it

WASL

So... I took a third of the writing WASL (our states mandatory standardized test) today. It wasn't so bad...although I did feel like I was in a prison camp. First of all you had to place all backpacks and coats against one wall. If you were found with any electronic device, even a soldering iron, you were dragged away and thrown in the commons, not to be able to finish your test. Then you could only use the pencil that they gave you....I guess so you wouldn't hide an essay on your pencil lead =/. Anyways, my essay prompt wasn't so bad....I had to come up with a new holiday..."what was it?” you ask. It was "I hate holidays day" there was a bah humbug contest and a re gifting marathon!!! it was quite fun to write and I am interested to see what I will get tomorrow...

anyways that's it for now, I’ll keep you updated...

drivers Education

If you live near me, then watch out... because I'm now licensed to drive (with a parent). I am taking a drivers education class taught By "Rocky" the wrestling coach at the school... it seems like a lot of book work, but the reward of driving is worth it. I am just putting this out as a warning...don’t drive for the next 6 months. =] anyways I think it will be lots of fun
here is a picture of "rocky" =]


cheers, forrest ;-)

Guitar

Last weekend I built an electric guitar!!!! It is really cool! It is made of a piece of PVC and some plywood... also I used a single guitar string and a machine tuner. I can plug it into my computer and record what I am playing with Audacity (an open source audio editing program). I can make really cool tunes and export them as mp3's. At the moment the guitar isn’t working...but when it is, I will make and mp3 or to and post them for others to see! also i am making an amp.

Hope this inspires people, Forrest

outward bound

I might get to go to outward bound this summer!!! it would be really fun if i could get to do this... i have a favorate book (thats not about magic) called bushcraft right now...that is really cool. it is a really cool experience and i hope that i will work out


cheers, forrest

instructables

lately i made a few more instructables, i thought i would share them here since not every one i know checks insructables every day like i do. I just posted an instructable on making "K-NEX" DNA, and one on how to beat minesweeper. (my i do bounce around).

anyways i just thought i would throw that out there to the world,

cheers, Forrest

weekend

So it’s finally the weekend *sigh of content* the week is over and the homework is not too unbearable. Since it is near the end of semester, and finals are coming, the teachers are laying on the homework =[ as a result the time I would normally used to write on the blog has been taken away. I will try to work on it as much as I can over the weekend but then it’s back to slogging thorough piles of work. well bye for now.

cheers Forrest
