I found this pic from Christmas. Isn't it ADORABLE??!! (You can click to see it closer.)

About two weeks ago we took a test in math.
Let me tell you.
I studied.
But it was HARD.
And to make it worse, we had a sub that day. SO then, Mrs. Clement said...
"I got only got to finish grading two of them. One of them was Katie's, and let me tell you that she didn't do as well as she normally does. You know she normally gets."
And guess what. The class all sighed in unison, "A hundred." That's not completely true, I guess... I mean I have gotten a lot of really high scores and more than one hundred percents....
Then, people were like, "I bet she just got like a 98% or somethin." Psssht.
Yeah.... ummmm.... I got the test back......
-16/39 + 3 bonus = 26/39 = 67% = D
Did I freak out? Yep.
Almost everybody did bad. Mrs. Clement said she must not have taught it right or something. So, last week she let everybody retake the test. She went over all the answers and how to do it, and then changed the numbers on the test.
-1/39 + 4 bonus = 42/39 = 108% = A

Please excuse the fact that her wonderful baptism was in January. Also, I had two other adorable pics, but apparently the files were too big.

1.) In class, I yelled a bunch in the Battle of the Brats.

So for any of you looking for a REALLY good book to read... Well here is one.
The Book Thief is completely amazing. Just read the reviews above the title. It definitely is life changing. I could never put it down.
Now, let me give you two little warnings:
1.) It has a lot of language. And what I hate a lot of the times it says the words in German, so you don't know what it's saying... until it translates right after.
2.) It takes place during World War II in Nazi Germany... It's depressing.

Another thing. You might think it's a little bit weird or confusing at first, but still it is a really good book. It is also from Death's point of view. The author said that Death was originally going to be this guy who loved his sad job and always said creepy things, but he changed it so that Death is constantly exhausted from his eternal job, and feels sad for a lot of the souls that he picks up. The whole story isn't about Death, but he just narrates it.
I am not really going to say anything else about the book because I don't really know how to explain it without giving too much away, so sorry. But I am telling you, it is one that you, without a doubt, will want to read.
