Greek Mythology

Okay here are my basic views of Greek Mythology. If I don't mention someone that just means I don't care about them. I don't like Hera (Zeus's wife). She stands for marriage, children, and family. But not really! She's madly jealous and sneaks around in disguise messing up other god's lives. She says she's loves family and children but she only loves a perfect family. She even threw her son Hephaestus of Mt Olympus when he was a baby because he was deformed. I really hate her. I like Apollo a lot. He's the god of light and truth. He's also the twin of Artemis. I don't like her since she turned into a Huntress. But I like that Artemis is all for girl power. I of course don't like Ares the god of war, who does? Hephaestus is okay but a little bit of a hot head. Who could really blame him? He's gotten so mistreated. His wife Aphrodite (Goddess of love, beauty etc.) cheats on him with Ares all the time. She was forced to marry Hephaestus and hates his deformities so that's why. I kind of like Hermes. But he's the god of stealing, so not the best guy. But he also is the messenger god and the god of travel among other things. I really like Poseidon but that might just be because I'm reading a little about him in my book. He's the god of the sea and he made the horse out of sea foam. (So Bethany should like him.) Just to make sure you people don't freak out, I don't actually think Greek Mythology is real. I just think it's interesting. So thats my basic view of Greek Mythology.

School Blues

Today was the first day of school. All of my teachers a pretty cool and I friends in almost every class. But I still hate school! 1st period I have Algebra Advanced. The funny thing is that last year I had Prealgebra Advanced. And this year we have the exact same students in the class! So that's pretty cool. My teacher is awesome for the class as well! 2nd period I have Drama 2, then 3rd I have Science. I like my Science teacher she's actually nice. For 4th period I T.A (Teacher Assistant) for her. So I don't even have to leave. She's awesome to her T.As. She lets us eat or drink whatever. Then I go to lunch! 1st lunch!!!! With all the 7th graders!!! But I have Lucia, Jenny and Emily to get me through. Then after lunch I have US History, and 6th I have Photography. I absolutely love photography! My teacher is a little cucucachoo though. My last period is English. Which is nice. But I have a guy that likes me in that class. He's whatever, I wouldn't ever like him though. So yep that's my day!

Mini Flood

Okay so today we had a mini flood! My mom left the dripping hose that waters her garden on and forgot about it. Well the soil got flooded and the water ended up going into our window well. When it got too full in the window well, of course it spilled out into Emilye's room. By the time my mom remembered it had been many hours. The window well was full pretty high with water and a circle of the carpet was soaked. My mom and sister, Ana worked on dumping out the water on the grass. I was on damage control for Em's room. I put towels on the window ledge and towels in trash cans to grab the water falling. I made a circle around the wetness with towels to make sure it didn't spread. I was running mad up and down the stars with new towel and stuff. The trash bin idea was genius by the way. My dad came home and got a WetVac from a neighbor. Right now the carpets ripped up and fans are airing out the pads under them.

The line shows how high the water came up.

Britt's Blog

Well how could you go wrong with an alliteration? So this is me writing about me and my life. I'm writing especially because I moved from California to Utah 2 years ago and I want my friends to know what I'm up to. You also have to know that I hate it here in Utah or you wont understand my blog or my life. But my now favorite saying is that, 'You can take the person out of Humboldt but you can't take Humboldt out of the person.' (Courtesy of Hannah Medley) That's where I grew up, Eureka California. Oh and one other thing you have to know about me is that I love animals and I'm obsessive over Greek Mythology.
