Have you seen my new BLOG template? What do you think about it?

Before I do any more random stuff, Let me tell you my day:
Let's see. I woke at 7:07 and got WAY TOO TIRED so I fell back asleep. Ha! Ha! I opened my eyes again with sound of a song. (My alarm- I get to pick any song.)

The song was ... one of my favorites -

So, I looked at the clock... 7:57! Uh Oh~! I heard my mom calling out "Edmond! Edmond! Get Up!" Uh Oh. I got up, and did the usual thing, and surprisingly, for once, I WASN'T LATE! :) Hooray! Anyways, I had French first... We all had to get a picture about our mask... And then We watched TELEFRANCAIS! I don't mind it, and I don't love it. Each episode is like 9 minutes.

And then, every episode, theres two songs, one of the TeleFrancais theme songs, which goes like:
Telefrancais!Telefrancais!
Allo! Bonjour! Salut!
Telefrancais!Telefrancais!
Venez jouer avec nous!
C'est formidable! Exceptionnel!
C'est excellent! Sensationnel!
C'est merveilleux! C'est Magnifique!
Telefrancais fantastique!
OH!
Telefrancais!Telefrancais!
Telefrancais!

It's actually a really good song, in my opinion. Heres the song:








Anyways... What really pisses me off is that when it goes:

Telefrancais!Telefrancais!

instead of Telefrancais!Telefrancais!
it goes Telefrancais! ( Insert a 2 syllable name here) is (a one syllable word that makes fun of them)

IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF! Like its so mean! :(

And then usually theres skeletons singing in every single episode -







The songs are sometimes lame and sometimes okay.

English : We got to eat apples for silent reading... I HATE RED DELICIOUS (NOT SO DELICIOUS) APPLES! The only apples I like are... GALA APPLES! I love gala apples!

English- All I did was talk so I have tons of homework now! :(

Math- quiz today GCF and LCM and Divisibility rules. :(

MetalWorks - Cut Metal. We're making a balancing man. Looks somewhat like this:

Haha doesn't look impressive but it actually is!

Right now I'm reading SKYBREAKER!
Let's judge the book by its cover... hm...

These are some of the characters I've met so far:

Characters in Skybreaker

  • Matt Cruse — protagonist, a young airship student who believes he is destined to be an airship captain. He was born on an airship crossing over the ocean and worked on the Aurora until joining the airship academy.
  • Kate de Vries — almost a scientist to be. Also Matt Cruse's love interest.
  • Hal Slater — Captain of the skybreaker ship Sagarmatha (meaning Everest in Nepalese).
  • Theodore Grunel — inventor of the airship, an early ornithopter and other inventions (his name is meant to echo that of real life engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who designed many railway bridges in England, as well as helping design a number of steamships, including the Great Eastern)
  • Miss Marjorie Simpkins — Kate de Vries' chaperone.
  • Nadira — a Roma girl who has the key to the Hyperion.
I will post more when I read more!

There's some animals too!

  • Aerozoan – A squid like animal with a Hydrium Sac, and able to produce huge amounts of electricity. This animal is where Grunnel got his idea for the Prometheus Engine.
  • Araneus Volatilis – A spider-like creature with wings. It is very light and flies to high altitudes.

  • I recommend this book to everyone!

    Lots of adventure and romance! Especially the Love...um... Rectangle!

    Slater likes Kate - Matt like Kate Matt likes Nadria.
    Well those characters go on a skybreaker to go to the Hyperion to get gold. Literally.
