See! I'm Creative!

My lovely creation! (:
A friend of mine posted something like this on facebook after she found it on pinterest.  I thought it looked really cool. It's also extremely easy to do! And really cheap. I already had crayons, super glue, and a blow dryer at my house and the canvas only cost $3. (And surprisingly, it's not that messy at all.)

Just get a box of Crayola crayons (they melt easily) and pick out the color order you want. Mine didn't quite reach across the whole canvas... I had to use an old box of crayons and didn't have enough matching colors.

But after you pick out whatever colors you want and line them up in the right order, just super glue them to the top. Then get a blow dryer, set it to it's highest setting, and blow on the crayons until they melt. Make sure you have something to lean it against while you're melting the crayons, and something to put underneath it.

I thought it was cool how you can actually change the direction of the colors by blowing at different angles. Next time I do this though, I think I'm going to use less colors... or not let them melt for as long... because it looks too dark.

But I'm still happy with it(:

Try it!

My Punishment for Being Sick

This is the punishment I get for being sick for an entire week. Make-up work.

Arrrg. I'm sick again today too. So I'll be listening to World Civ. lectures all day, doing missed math homework, and basically catching up on everything. Oh joy.

But at least, even though I feel awful, I have an entire day to do just make-up work, and not regular work too. Alright, enough complaining. I'd better stop blogging and keep working...

Tired of High School

I'm just tired. Tired of the social stuff. Tired of kids who disrespect teachers and take advantage of the fact that the teacher probably won't punish them. I mean come on, just because they're your teacher doesn't mean they don't have feelings too. I'm tired of hearing "who likes who" every other day and walking past all the couples in the hall. Tired of feeling like the only one whose interested in learning, and being stuck with kids who could care less.

I mean sure, as far as high schools go, mine's great. But today I'm just tired of going day after day and putting up with all of this. This isn't true of all the kids in my class, but there are plenty of them. This is just me complaining a little bit. It's me wishing that things were different.
