Rube Goldberg Project

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, so if you haven't heard of Rube Goldberg, I highly reccomend checking out this website before you read my post, or it won't really make sense. rubegoldberg.com

Good. Now that you're educated, I'll explain. In my physics class, we have been instructed to construct a Rube Goldberg contraption with no less than five steps that will end up breaking an egg. Seems simple enough, right?

WRONG.

Thus far, my group has only created a basic design for our contraption (we haven't even begun to build it) and the big presentation is due on Friday.

Can anyone else say, "EEK!!!"?

Concert Review

Thoughts for today from Amber...

That was pretty great, faithful readers. The sound was, for the most part, fantastic. Tears were shared and hugs did flow, especially during the last song, Benediction. Much love to all the seniors I'll miss, and (you guys know I have to do it at least one more time) ALTO POWER FOREVER!!!

Spring Concert

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Hello again, my faithful readers! Tonight I log on to share the news of tonight's GHS Spring Choir Concert. It is our last concert of the year, and will feature each of the three choirs--Rhapsody, Jade, and Singsations--as well as a few solos in between--one by Allie Ochs, and another by yours truly!--and even a special Senior Song (it'll be Bon Jovi's Livin' On a Prayer, if you want to know). My song is The Impossible Dream, from the musical Man of La Mancha (which is based on Cervantes' classic novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha).

I'm so excited, faithful readers! Wish me luck, and hopefully I'll blog again later to tell how it went.

Academic Team Luck

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Woohoo! So tonight at Whiteland High School, GHS is competing in their third academic team meet. Competition categories include Science, Math, English, History, Arts, and Interdisciplinary. I don't know much about the other categories, but since my dad (Mr. Perry) coaches the Science team, I know that they came in second for the first meet, and won last time.

C'mon, Woodmen! Let's kick some academic butt!

No explanation required. This is fantastic.

How To Make a Sandwich

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, so I've not actually overcome the writer's block yet, but I found a video segment that I made for my Broadcast class that I think you'll enjoy. By the by, the reason it says "WAM" at the end is because the name of our Broadcast team is "Woodmen A.M."

I should also note that the actor in this segment is my dear little brother, Austin Perry. He's nine and kind of a diva, as actors go. Cute, though, right?

Writer's Block

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, this is bad.
Very, very bad.
I actually don't know what to write.
I'm freaking out over here, my dear readers!
I mean, I can't get writer's block. I just can't. I'm The Writer. Seriously, that's how I define myself! What am I supposed to do if I can't think of what to write?!

I'm just gonna go sulk for awhile.
