Wow. STAR testing is pretty hard... I didn't understand about five questions. Terrible! OMG today, I saw mah crush and I totally blushed when he looked at me... D: The schedule for school is messed up right now because of STAR. It'll be messed up for tomorrow, and the day after, too.
Well I did a couple of extra vignettes for English(we're reading House on Mango Street and have an assignment to do at least 5. For extra credit, we're allowed to do more. I really need the extra credit, and I hope the two I did are acceptable. Here's the first one:
Little Nightingale

I am a nightingale, waiting for the right moment to fly away to freedom. In this small cage, I have no voice and no bravery. I stay in this cage, even though I have many chances to fly away. As my friends leave me to be free, I am still stuck in the cage.
I am like a rabbit, staying away from others. Shy and awkward, I keep to myself. Others think me weird, and I feel much weirder. Although they think I am weird, I keep my head held high. Inside, I feel scared and alone. I am a rabbit, but like a nightingale, I am still stuck in a cage that I made all by myself.
I am a small child, looked down upon. People act condescending towards me as if I am a little kid. Although I know I am not what they think I am, I still cannot find the right words to speak. They think I interfere with everything they do and sweep me aside as a little brat. I am a child, a child with no right to be who I want to be.
I am a nightingale, and someday, I will be free from my cage. Someday, I will be who I want to be, do what I want to do. And there will be no cage to bar me from doing it. I am a rabbit, learning to be brave. I am a child, finding the words to speak up. I am a nightingale, ready to fly away to freedom.


Tell me what you think in the comment section. Tell me what I should change about it! I need this to be perfect! Don't be afraid to be mean and tell my something that you think is terrible about it, because although it really describes myself, it really isn't that great.
I won't post the other one though. 4laugh

Whew. I give up on the science project. I'm only measuring 90 plants for ten days. Today is the last day I measure... Happiness and Joy!
