Relaxed

Dear Readers,

I have decided to be less formal, and more relaxed in today's entry. Such as, instead of talking about deep nonsense that make others think you're wise, I'll just explain what's been happening lately. Let us begin with my science project.

As an eight grader in California, I am required to try for the science fair every year. I have only lived here since fourth grade, but I am proud to say I have made it into the school fair every year but one. And I made it to district in fourth grade, which was my first time. It was exciting.

And of course. Now this year. I need to think of something equally amazing or more so, yes? And I'm working with a partner for the first time this year. At first we wanted to do something with a charge detector, seeing positive and negative charges. When when it short circuited, we realized it was to elementary to get guarantee us a spot. We changed it.

Now, this is our question. How does the skyglow change from time to time and day to day? Skyglow is basically the light pollution that you can see at night, blocking out the stars. First, this interests me because it is astronomy. Second, when we showed our science teacher, she was impressed because it was astronomy, and she didn't even know it was possible to measure it.

How we're going about it. What we have to do is take pictures using a professional camera at specific, scheduled times. Then upload it on ImageJ, and create a histogram for each picture. Using the information of each, we then create a graph showing how it changes. It's an extremely interesting project, and we hope to enter into the fair with it.

Well enough about that. I already have to deal with it every night.

About my miserable vacation. I am a dancer. I go to ballet classes every week. I just earned my pointe shoes and am now learning to dance on my toes. However, last week, I caught pneumonia. I didn't go to school even one day in the whole week, and naturally, that applies to dance classes too. Well alright. I missed a week. But now, we're having our winter or spring break, I'm not sure which one. So that is another week without school or ballet.

I'm a really restless person. I constantly need to be moving, and therefore I usually am not stiff. But now. One week already without doing anything, and another in progress. It's torture. And the only thing I'm used to doing in my free time is the computer. So naturally, I am on the computer all day now. And I am getting all stiff and my body hurts. I'm sorry. I just had to complain about that.

Well, I'm really not sure what to talk about on this blog, I honestly created it for the reason that I was bored out of my wits yesterday. So comment! Ideas!

Sincerely,
Fira
