The Dream of Two Little Ladies Come True. . .

Hey guys!! So what I'm about to tell you may seem weird to you, but I'm pretty excited about it!!
Lol. Anyway, yesterday, there was a carnival after school by the football field. So Rachel J and I went, and we played on the blow-up toys and stuff. It was pretty fun!! Then we saw these people carrying goldfish around, and we're like "AAH! We have to go win a goldfish!!"
Ha ha. So of course, we found the booth. It was a free thing, so that was a bonus. There was a small kitty pool with a bunch of plastic cups in it. In the middle was a 'P' (for Provo High) spelled out in green plastic cups. They gave you 3 ping-pong balls and told you to stand behind a line. To win a goldfish, you had to be able to throw at least 1 ball into one of the green cups. So I got it first, but it took me a couple tries, then Rachel J got it too! So we got goldfish! Ha ha. The best part was when we told my mom. We called and told her and she goes ". . . great." Lol. It was good. So she took us to the pet store on the way home, and she went inside and got a tank and stuff. She's wonderful to do that on such short notice. Thanks Mom!! Love you!!
Ya. So here are a couple pictures of them!!


This one's Michael. . .


And this one's Dwight!!

In case you don't know, those are the names of two main characters on The Office. :D I was thinking that after these fish die, Rachel J and I will go to the store and get two new fish and name them Michael and Dwight as well, and so on and so on. It will be a little tradition!!
They are the newest residents of the Covert household! They are living on my desk in a tank that has pink on it. It's pretty sweet!! Oh, and the cat loves them. She hasn't tried to get at them or anything, she just likes to lay on my desk and watch them. It's kinda cute actually!
Lol. Anyway, that's enough fish talk for the day. Love y'all!!
Love

Hey guys!! What's new? Hope everyone is doing just fabulous!!
Well, today I will be complaining, bragging, fretting, and all sorts of other things, so please, bear with me!!
Do you like the new look to my blog? (please leave a comment if you can, as well as any suggestions of phrases or anything I could title my blog with.)
Today in PE, we ran the 12 timed run. So basically what you do is run around the track for 12 minutes and see how far you can go. I ran 4 1/4 laps. So I basically ran 1 1/16 miles. Ha ha. I probably could have done better, but I had a stuffy nose and so I couldn't really breathe!! Lol. Oh well!! So after that, my friend, Stevie, and I played a bit of basketball in the gym. (And let me just say that I am horrible at basketball! I can't make a shot to save my life!! I used to be able to, I don't know what happened!! I'm blaming the ball. It was kind of flat. :D)
The period before that, English, we looked at editorials online, and one of them talked about red headed barbies or something. . . it was weird. Then we play TextTwist on yahoo for the rest of the period. I love Mr. Moore's class!!
In CompTech, I got a paper airplane thrown at me by Mr. Ventura. Lol. It was pretty hilarious!!
At lunch, Rachel J and I went to the auditorium to watch the Chamber Singer men do a hip-hop dance. Lol it was so funny!!
Then, last period of the day, Seminary!! My teacher wasn't there, so our class split up to go to different classes. So I went to Brother Arshad's class with my friend Lauren. All the Seminary teachers are great! So it was great fun!!
So here's he fretting part of the whole thing. I haven't gotten my CRT score from my math test!! AAAHH!! And I'm at a C in that class at the moment cuz I failed the last test. So hopefully I did well on my CRT. (Oh and don't worry. I'm going to go in and retake the test this week. So my grade will come up I promise.)
Anyway, that's all from me!! Love y'all!!
Love
-Rachel
