Regional 4-H Demonstration Contest / My Surgery

Yesterday, myself and a few buds of mine went to the Regional 4-H Demonstration Contest. We all carpooled with our car. Again, I did my science fair project: Microwaves VS. Nutrients. They seemed to like it pretty well. I got a 1st place in my division. For this, I got a ribbon and plaque. It was pretty exciting! This can go in my 4-H portfolio at the end of the year in October. Portfolios are books that 4-H'ers put together of all the leadership, citizenship, and other 4-H activities they've done in the past year. It is really a pain to get it all together, but well worth it. We get a medal at the end of the year for completing it. Today at 8:00, I had my four teeth pulled at the oral surgeon. They were all four of them right next to my eye teeth. Actually, it wasn't bad. I'm so glad they put me to sleep. I think it was the right decision to go there instead of a dentist. My "holes" where the tooth used to be are so deep I can't see the bottom. I can't imagine how much that would have hurt. It was kind of weird being put to sleep for a little while. I think the last thing I remember was her taking my glasses, I think at least..... It was kinda cool though, a neat experience. So, right now I'm sitting in front of the computer with gauze in my mouth. They just won't stop bleeding!! Hopefully, it will stop before bowling and I can convince mom to take me. We'll see. Today is the last day of bowling, and then the party is next week. sourpatch

I placed 2nd place in the contest. I'm pleased with how I did though. I got a pretty red rosette. sourpatch

4-H Demonstration Contest

Tonight I am participating in a 4-H Demonstration Contest. Right now I am all dressed-up and stuff. I am using my science fair project board for my demonstration. Because of the grade I'm in, I'll only have to answer questions that the judges ask me. This should be relatively easy, knowing that I have studied this subject for nearly 4 months. I'll post the results tomorrow. Wish me success! sourpatch

4-H Photo Contest

These are more pictures that I entered. The first one was taken in Kroger with my 4-H Group; they're artichokes. The other is in the southern tip of Texas on a King Ranch field trip. It's a caracara with a snake in its mouth. sourpatch

My Crazy Homeschooled Life

• I hope everyone had a great Easter!! For Easter dinner we had shredded BBQ chicken on top of baked potatoes and green beans with that. I really dislike BBQ, so I didn't have any of it, but I'm sure it was good. We ate that while watching the Memphis Tigers beat Mississippi State by like 2 or 3 points. Did anyone except me watch the game?!? Mississippi state could have beat them if they hit that last 3-pointer at the end of the game. They scraped by though... I wonder how UT is doing in the tournament.
• The other day, I forgot to mention that I got my hair cut. It was getting longer, and I really needed a summer cut. Anyway, now it's about shoulder length now. I also got layers. My hair makes a short ponytail also, but I think it's cute.
• Tomorrow night I am going to the 4-H Demonstration Contest. For my age group, I have to explain my board that I am supposed to put together. But, I am using my science fair project board because I'm too lazy. It shouldn't be too hard, but you never know. I kind of got roped into it...unfortunately.
