We were taking a pig quiz, because we had been dissecting pigs. Eric Barber had encountered some difficulties durning the power point quiz and was in need of some more time, but we had other things we needed to get done. Eric is frantically prancing about the lab tables tying to write down his last answer while Ms. D steadily stalks after him (which only adds pressure). Alex Hill points out how Ms. D is resembling a predator stalking its prey as Eric makes his way to the row of desks closest to the wall near the door. Alex then yells, "Pounce!" And Ms. D trying to be slick attempts to leap over the desk to attack Eric, but her foot jams into the desk chair. Her forward momentum causes her to move on without her footing and face plant on the tile floor. OUCH! The class erupts with laughter! I laughed so hard that tears came streaming down my face. Ms. D snickered a little and called out from the floor, "Laci, I told you that if I busted to call the nurse." All Eric could do was drop his quiz on her now up-turned tummy and mutter a meek "here you go."<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Ms. D was my most difficult teacher because she expected the best out of her pre-ap class at all times. She made us work extremely hard. But she was my favorite teacher of my freshman year by far. She was witty, smart, and knew how to make the year memorable.<br /></div>Kalyn Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406565893821851762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20634447.post-47676291327091827632009-04-15T19:06:00.000-07:002009-04-15T19:27:45.110-07:00The Thirsting<div style="text-align: center;">Wow!

Their season finally ended at the Texas Tech basketball stadium when they were beat by Canyon (who in fact ended up winning state). There was hardly a dry eye on the Cooper side of the court. It was so hard to see it end, but all good things have to come to an end sometime.<br /> I must say that I really enjoyed photographing with my buddy Boo and my mom. I got some killer shots and definately learned a lot. THANK-You Cooper team for letting me be a small part of the action on the court. Maybe next time I will actually be a BIG part of the action. :-)Kalyn Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406565893821851762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20634447.post-81634499477557913902008-03-23T17:52:00.000-07:002008-03-23T18:22:52.338-07:00The Appetizer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDRKRJ7WCLGc8g_cg5VxHrZjEFvmUq5Bkk522SfTULBaD0u8XqadzWC9ByZFujjKZpMn7kJiqJDtu9d5FpOJjvDd3GgyADWRKfy3ndOenjF1pEgAiRNOfsliFyNUMt3kcoPpzbQ/s1600-h/IMG_1898.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDRKRJ7WCLGc8g_cg5VxHrZjEFvmUq5Bkk522SfTULBaD0u8XqadzWC9ByZFujjKZpMn7kJiqJDtu9d5FpOJjvDd3GgyADWRKfy3ndOenjF1pEgAiRNOfsliFyNUMt3kcoPpzbQ/s320/IMG_1898.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181110430542925890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinV88Y2cSQkHnRyKAgMM2B1q6j0Xbtk7O_JKn7wX9sSCxPCva0Q8AKKAlp8CrBDaP7qOt7Hc1yqvfA-C-gx3KLyojwMVAKFRrCb9W3zguLW8DLihyTSSXCzTa6xeczDuHGss-BlQ/s1600-h/IMG_1926.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinV88Y2cSQkHnRyKAgMM2B1q6j0Xbtk7O_JKn7wX9sSCxPCva0Q8AKKAlp8CrBDaP7qOt7Hc1yqvfA-C-gx3KLyojwMVAKFRrCb9W3zguLW8DLihyTSSXCzTa6xeczDuHGss-BlQ/s320/IMG_1926.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181110439132860498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcM6Zq-MMzplOyw4uuEixoMVnZn2ODouzLSMtNdqzRffKhMs5tiBaeuNeMrXCVB7f0k8gdqR8FDPpk5al5Mn_HcfDx0C7L2LZog9Bb4sY4V47qxbZved0gBG6xQpONGs1yOHm0Q/s1600-h/IMG_1937.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcM6Zq-MMzplOyw4uuEixoMVnZn2ODouzLSMtNdqzRffKhMs5tiBaeuNeMrXCVB7f0k8gdqR8FDPpk5al5Mn_HcfDx0C7L2LZog9Bb4sY4V47qxbZved0gBG6xQpONGs1yOHm0Q/s320/IMG_1937.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181110447722795106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4RWUWGTPSh0mFfPna3XlChc0e6QVVYotW-Ujyv9tA1UCbG7b80VTXCNuU-wA5cR1UodPuldUKBSNHwzYXhcoNxDlAf0x53_VpLaCtmL2L9OKQCUNYRYmp2KFZIGnCn6MI-4QVg/s1600-h/IMG_1944.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4RWUWGTPSh0mFfPna3XlChc0e6QVVYotW-Ujyv9tA1UCbG7b80VTXCNuU-wA5cR1UodPuldUKBSNHwzYXhcoNxDlAf0x53_VpLaCtmL2L9OKQCUNYRYmp2KFZIGnCn6MI-4QVg/s320/IMG_1944.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181110460607697010" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxTmDq8pfGD-N8aQwP2d3wBZBEiV4OtxHOnNA_rUJqXzB7VwGXX82XMkSeyFkPq1eUamwb4AP7lXbm_UVOJ7nqUaw3PFPEf2icEyYVcUSErMpIxvoexF8VdSBKdtjC7ANlwDrhQ/s1600-h/IMG_2049.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxTmDq8pfGD-N8aQwP2d3wBZBEiV4OtxHOnNA_rUJqXzB7VwGXX82XMkSeyFkPq1eUamwb4AP7lXbm_UVOJ7nqUaw3PFPEf2icEyYVcUSErMpIxvoexF8VdSBKdtjC7ANlwDrhQ/s320/IMG_2049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181110464902664322" border="0" /></a><br />Just a few pictures to sink your teeth in before the main course comes out.

EVERYONE). Just like we always do, we had a blast. THis Christmas had all the trimmings, such as Scooter racing (even the adults participated), ping-pong, poker, Chinese Christmas, and FOOD. There wasn't one dull moment this Christmas nor was there a moment when someone wasn't laughing.<br /><br />Santa Claus gave Summer and I cameras for Christmas!

I made it through the track meet in one piece, and not only that, I also made it through with some really good and funny news.<br />Drum roll please.....<br />I came in 1st place!!!!!! It felt so awsome! I love that feeling that hits you a few minutes after you ran. The feeling is like no other and all you can do is sit there and smile and say, "I did it!".<br />Now I have some funny news to tell you. As we were running the last 100 on the mile, a girl in last place happened to "pitch her cookies" (as Mimi, Grand Sheila, would say). After she let it all out in another girls lane she kicked it into gear and passed about 3 paople to accept 6th place. Now that is a run!<br />What makes me laugh is that I had been talking to Boo, My fellow miler lauren Heinrich, before we ran about how it would certainly be something to have someone "pitch their cookies" in the mile race. We just didn't think it would actually happen.Kalyn Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406565893821851762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20634447.post-85332844993295314852007-03-08T05:32:00.000-08:002007-03-08T05:45:16.800-08:00Zoom Zoom ZoomI have a track meet today. This is my second one. I compete in 3 events: the triple jump, the 800 (2 laps), and the mile (4 laps). I always get really nervous and worried that I won't do very good, or that it will hurt really bad to run those 4 laps. But then I have to remember that God didn't put us on this world to be the fastest runners in the world. The main thing to focus on in life is Him, so that is what I am going to do. Plus I have already made myself happy coming in third on both of my events the last track meet. I finnished the 800 in 2:57 and I finnished the mile in 6:48. That is 22 seconds better than I have ever done in my life! I have already made a great run, so wether i beat that time or not I will be happy.<br />No worries! Have fun!... And RUN.Kalyn Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406565893821851762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20634447.post-1173223992557048312007-03-06T15:12:00.000-08:002007-03-06T15:33:12.570-08:00Peek-abo!Wow! It has been so long since I have blogged! It has been so long that I actually forgot my password to even start blogging. I was even kind of embarrased to start blogging again.

Playing soccer and scoring the winning goal off of a header. Playing football and intercepting the almost touchdown pass, then running down the whole field to score the winning touchdown. playing basketball and the score is 98 to 99 with 16 seconds left. Your team is losing by 1 point. You are playing the wing when the ball is passed to you. Without hesitating you shoot... AND YOU SCORE!!!!!!!! The score is now 100 to 99 with 12 secnds remaining. The opposing team has possesion of the ball. With 2 seconds left the other team shoots and... STUFFED!!!!! YOUR TEAM WINS THE GAME!!!!!!!!! The final score is 100 to 99. What a game!<br /> The third game was my dream game. Yup! <span style="font-style:italic;">WAS</span> my dream game. It isn't my dream any more. Wednesday January 18 2006 it became my part of my life. The desccription of the third game was really the game that is now part of my life. Well, except the score wasn't all the way in the 100's. The final score was 21 to 20. Aztecs WIN the game! <br /> My coach always has a talk with us after the game, and this is one of the things he said, "Remember what underwear you are wearing right now, because that is the <br /> underwear I want you to wear to the next game."<br />We all replied with a very giggly, "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!"<br />Ha! Ha!<br /> That is a game I know for sure i will never forget. I always had that game as one of my dreams. I know everyone out there has dreams too. What I did can go to show you that, As long as you believe in your dreams you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you. <br /><br /> FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!Kalyn Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406565893821851762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20634447.post-1137383427251812522006-01-15T19:41:00.001-08:002006-01-16T09:38:18.726-08:00Laugh Out Loud!!!I have a new prospective on cats.

And last but certainly not least ( because it counts around 50 % of my science grade) a science fair project that I need to have done by sometime in February. This is a very busy schedule (even if I am 12 years old)! But don't you worry, because I will not be a bee for much longer.
