Weather

I'm starting to think that I am a person who is extremely sensitive to weather.
When it rains I get depressed and sleepy.
When it's sunny out but not humid, I'm a happy child.
When it is humid I'm lazy and completely drained (but I think we all are to some extent on humid days.)
Yesterday the air pressure around me was constantly changing because I was outside a lot. It was windy, but the strength of the wind was constantly changing, so I got a headache.
When there is thunder and lightning I get anxious. But not like, 'OHMIGOD the tree in the backyard is going to collapse' or 'I'm going to get electrocuted.' The thunder makes me jittery. It's odd...
When there is an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, etc. I scream
My conclusion: someday I'm moving to Florida. XD

SORRY!!!

Sorry guys, I haven't been posting for some time. Just want you to know that nothing of interest has happened. I've had the flu for the past four days, so I feel like crap. Also, I started reading the Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. It's a really good book! If you want a preview (first two chapters) click here. My life has been pretty complicated (certain people would know), so yeah. Enjoy Will Grayson, Will Grayson and if you don't know John Green is one of the Vlog Brothers, so check out their channel on Youtube. It's pretty cool!

My Grandpa

*before you start reading this, keep in mind that 'metro' means subway in russian...
So a few days ago I was visiting my grandparents in Brooklyn. And let me tell you right now, this is Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Also known as 'Little Russia by the Sea.' 75% of the population is Russian immigrants above the age of 60 and the other 25% are their grandchildren. On Sunday my grandpa and I planned to go to Subway for a sandwich. My grandpa had no clue where Subway is or what it is, so in the morning he says "Alisa, when do you plan on going to the metro station?" That's translated from Russian. For any Russians who read this is went something like this: "Alisa, kogda ti hochesh poyti na metrostansiyu za butirbrodami?"
This is probably funnier for Russians, but just imagine being in this situation at that very moment and I think you might find it funny. :)

Radio Conversation

Ok guys, this is a good one:
Have you ever noticed how when the radio turns on (with some kind of talk show) it completely drains all conversation in the car. I noticed it yesterday when our friend picked us up and we were talking, my sister was being loud (as usual). Then the car started and a random talk show came on. Everyone instantly stopped talking. I thought it was amazing...
Anyway, what are your opinions on this? Write some advantages and disadvanges of it in the comments. The person with the most advantages and the person with the most disadvantages can get a choice of a prize:
1. I'll advertise your blog for the next 5 posts
or
2. If you don't have a blog, you can email a post to arsponge@gmail.com and I'll post it on my blog (if you do have a blog, you can choose this option, too).

And just so you know, first come, first serve. So if you get here first and you're the first one to comment with a reason, no one can take that reason. So don't even try. I don't care if you thought of it before looking at the comments.



By the way, here's the Challenge from http://keepingup-247.blogspot.com/

Today's Challenge:
There are three things that I want you to do for this challenge; first, I want you to always turn off the lights when you leave a room empty; second, if its cold outside, I want you to turn the thermostat atleast two degrees down (colder), and then if its hot, turn the thermostat two degrees up (hotter); third, if you don't already, use a refillable water bottle rather than a plastic one.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Alina

Alina gave me a good idea to write about how people feel on the last day of school.

OK, so, here goes...

Aaaah. The last day of school. Finally, you get to do nothing for the whole summer. But your friends aren't there because half of them aren't in New Jersey. So what's your opinion about summer vacation? Is it fun in the sun, or earning for learning (wow, that was weird).
