FUN FACT: Did you know scientists think long ago the word O.K. comes from the word "Oll Korrect". Long ago people spelled it like that and shortened it to "O.K." They never changed the spelling. If they did, today we would say "A.C." And we have used it ever sense. The first time it was used was in 1839.

Thank you Wiki Answers, I did not know that.
Found this out as I contemplated the many ways to spell Ok.
Whats your prefrience?

I´m everyones darling; the blackbird and starling
Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs
For I, the lent lily, the Daffy-down-dilly,
Have heard through the country the call to arouse.
The orchards are ringing with voices a singing a
praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown;
the children are playing and hark!
They are saying
That Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town!

This is what happend in geography class today:

So we had a test and it was very quite as everyone waited for the last people to finish. The boy in front of me turns to the kid next to him and whispers expelliarmus and points his pen like its a wand. The kid he cast the spell at just looked at him and then dropped his pencil.
It was the funniest thing i´ve seen in a while. The look the boy gave him was perfect.

Melting littel snowmen, if only that ment it was warm ;)

The fog made this very grainy looking...

Saterday was Alberts suprise party!!! The house it was at had some fun exercise equipment :)

Getting ready for the New Years dance at school. It was lots of fun.

Eating a very yummy sandwich today.Thanks nickpick :) I had a feeling there was something wrong with board game. And I feel quite addept at Celcius, its fun to be in the negatives for once, though my heart belongs to pounds, cups, feet, and inches in the end.

I had a good day at school, music then geography, a break for two hours as the rest of the class took Fench and German, and then chemistry. In music we are in groups, the teacher gave us music and we wrote the lyrics. Im playing the drums for my group!!! At first I was very bad and nervious, but I have the hang of it now.
The break wasnt to boring because I had some home work to do, my Anne Frank paper. Itś a letter to Anne as if I was the diary. Fun to write, itś a very personal style.
After school I went with Joyce and we signed up to be trainees for a day at a nursery school. Ive never seen so many blue eyes. This place is full of blonds too.
Then I went back to her house, we played a bored game and listened to music. Her family is very nice. We had tea and biscutts (actually I had juice) and chatted a bit. Biking home made my feet numb, it was minus 3°C.
And what do you think of the new layout? Left or Right side?

Went to Groningen Saturday. Nice bust huh? I would like a bust someday.

As I biked over to the Hovings Friday I saw this swan out on the ice.

And today was Alberts birthday! It was a nice family party withyummy food and lots of cheer :)

The diary of Anne Frank is really interesting. I got it yesterday but I´m practicly finished.
Today is Sarah´s Birthday! and I´m staying over for the weekend.
It´s been supercold, but oh sopretty with all the sparkeling snow.
