Goodbye... and Other Opinions You Probably Don't Care About

  Hey guys it's me... Anabel. That's right, for my last blog post EVER, I will not be writing as SuperSara, I will be writing as my true self. Fun fact, I absolutely hate alter egos. People who think they can be two people at the same time and just randomly switch between them just erk me. Like lady Gaga and whoever other guys she thinks she is. Anyways, I know what your're thinking, isn't SuperSara your alter ego, Anabel? The answer is yes, she is, and you can thank me at eleven years old for that one.

Me around the time I started blogging (11)

  I have no idea why I didn't want to blog as myself, maybe because of privacy... I don't even know, So, ever since then, the whole SuperSara thing has kind of annoyed me. But, I couldn't really stop, so I just went on with it. Bet you didn't know that! No one has, because I've never told anyone. So there is my secret. 

How adorable. :)

  Anyways, I started writing this blog in the middle of sixth grade, and you saw the picture above of when I looked like then. Sixth grade will probably always be the best year of my life so far, because I had many friends who really cared about me, and vice versa, my grades were really good, and everything was so perfect. I just had a great year. 

All of the 6-8 grade class 2009-2010 in Rock Eagle and geez, does Fatima look depressed or what?! (In the yellow)

   Seventh grade was okay. School wise it was fine, and I was happy, but not as happy as usual. Middle school just kinda sucks in general. But, I try not to have that attitude. It would have sucked more if I wasn't at Shreiner! So yeah, I'm glad I went to private school. I look back at people from fifth grade now and I just think "What happened to them?!" Such eggplants. (inside joke with my friends)

Oh god. 

  Now onto... SEVENTH GRADE!! Seventh grade was pretty good. This is how I looked last year when I first started. 

Me cuddling with a child. 

  In seventh we started writing again, and this is when I started getting fairly decent at my blog. Like, barely and almost but not really okay. I was writing about things like air conditioning then.  My class was still learning the ropes. In seventh it was Cheeba (Fatima), Jello or J-lo (Jalen), Tilly (Kevin), and (now Kiwi) Katie. So our class wasn't too big. But anyways, seventh was good, I discovered this thing called a hair straighter (THANK GOODNESS), and I got better at writing my blog! I also made new friends.

The last day of school 2010-2011

  Eighth grade was different story. I had a great summer and was ready to start school for my last year. I was excited to be on top, but I knew I gonna miss Kenneth, and eventually Kevin (who left in September). Everything this year seemed to go by fast but yet slow. Alot happened, and to be honest, I can't remember it all. 

My friend Aubrey and I around the time school started.

  This year was BUSY. There was schoolwork, tests, getting into a good high school, student council, the play, and of course, friends and free time, too! I was really busy and I feel now that it was all worth it. Because now I get to move on. 

   

Me now.

  Now a letter to my five main teachers: 

Mrs.Crimminger: 

  Mrs. Crimminger, you have been an exceptional teacher this year and I'm really gonna miss having all the help with math. I know the last couple months have not been easy because of the play, and everything else, but everyone really appreciates all the work you do! I will miss you so much! 

Mrs. Spaulding: 

  Mrs. Spaulding, I always look forward to your class. You make me feel so welcome and you have ever since I came to Shreiner. You are (usually) in a great mood and ready to teach and to learn and to thrive and... to be remarkable. (Sorry guys, school's slogan) No, but really, in all seriousness, I will miss your class and my stash of spoons and winning stump the teacher and never getting the candy. Yes, I know that was a run-on sentence, too.  :)

Mr. Meyer: 

  Mr. Meyer, I WILL MISS YOUR CLASS SO MUCH! I have so may fun memories, including the US highways system, and presenting all those current events. I feel like you have made an impact on the school and have set the bar VERY high for the next social studies teacher! I appreciate all of your advice on high school and just on life. 

Mrs. Rivera: 

  Mrs. Rivera, I'm so glad you came back! I started picking up spanish so quickly once you taught me and I feel like you never let anyone get left behind. I love the crafts you let us do and I will miss being able to look forward to something that's right before lunch! I'll miss you so much. 

Mr. Sellers: 

  Ahhh... the reason I am writing this now. Mr. Sellers, you are an AMAZING science teacher, and I fell like you really let our creativity show through blogs. You have a good sense for when someone needs help, or is confused, and well, when we have a question you have an answer! I will miss your class sooooooo mcuh and writing this blog! 

I felt this was appropriate. 

  When you say hello you have to say goodbye. You have to let go of everything that has happened and focus on NOW. Now, I need to focus on a nice break. I need to focus on MY BIRTHDAY (which is on the 27th), and getting relaxed and peaceful before four years of intense studies and fun start to begin. 

  I'm gonna miss Fatima falling all the time. I'm gonna miss Logan hardly showing up. I'm gonna miss giving Katie my cheese sticks and Fatima and Katie fighting over who gets my pickle juice. I'm gonna miss laughing over 21 seasoning salute and "robin hood" and your mom's for lunch tomorrow and who's getting the cards? I'm gonna miss THORRY and twelve and live the gypsy life and "La Zerlina tell the fortunes for Kings, La Zerlina tell the fortunes for princes, for dukes, for barons for-". I'm gonna miss getting the microwave first and  the olympics and hosting all the events and movie nights and seeing my brother at school. I'm gonna miss rolling my eyes when Rylie starts singing, and staying up late to do these blogs. I'm gonna miss debate team, and vocab and talking about glee the next day (WHICH WAS AMAZING TONIGHT) and procrastinating doing my homework. I'm gonna miss walking into school thinking about what will happen and I'm gonna miss making scavenger hunts and loving staplers and making claymation projects and helping out the younger folks and celine complaining and kate laughing and stealing fatima's food and playing vocab games and talking about superheros (even though I've liked them for years now and suddenly when The Avengers come out everyone loooooves them) and listening to Kate Nash pandora while doing work and working on debate team things and eating pizza and losing my calculator and having celine hate that one book and katie getting mad at logan and logan and fatima fighting and seeing miss Samantha in the office and picking tests out of my box and going to chickfila after school and sleeping on the floor in class and watching videos of science songs and quoting spongebob like it's shakespeare and the shakespeare feast and playing dodgeball and capture the flag and yelling intruder and kicking down the other teams cones and bro hoofing celine and laughing over the face and being sarcastic and drawing on the board and singing to songs during recess and seeing sydney's crazy outfits and listening to the fifth graders gossip and working on the play and katie getting happy over Mrs. Spaulding curly hair and calling Christian Jolly Fred and getting things out of Mes. Spaulding top right hand drawer and groaning over homework and current events and the kids crashing because of the woman giving birth on the side of the highway and telling Fatima about glee even though she insists she hates it (psssh yeah of course she does) and planning weekend plans and doing all my homework sunday night and waking up at 7 and hearing opera songs and talking abotu west side story and how unrealistic it is and never going in Mrs. Crimminger's bathroom and... I will miss school. It will be hard to say goodbye.

  I was watching glee tuesday night and (spolier) they won Nationals and they were all saying goodbye. It made me sad. Because, May is happy and yet sad. Happy because of my birthday and because summer begins. But yet sad because all of my fall tv shows will say bye for the year and so will I. I just know at the eight grade luncheon and the award ceremony I will cry my eyes out, but it will be fun. Moving on will be fun. So goodbye, I guess.

The BBB! (Big Bang Blog)

  Hola my friends! Today I will be talking the big bang theory... and no, not the TV show. Even though it is funny. But ANYWAYS... this will be my last science blog. School ends on the 18th, and then I will be gone. Nothing but a shadow in the sunshine that is middle school... yeah that was really lame. MIDDLE SCHOOL? SUNSHINE? Bahahahahahaha, that's comparing warm and cold.  But anyways, I will post a blog saying goodbye and junk. So... look for that. But after that I doubt I'll post anything, sorry, I'll be busy.

BOOM! Goes the universe

  Okay, so if you didn't know, the big bang is the theory on how the universe was created. So, if you've ever asked yourself  "How did the universe get here?", no one knows the answer. Sure, there are religions that have there own beliefs, but no one knows whether they're ACTUALLY true.

 

  According to astronomers, the universe started about 14 billion years, and they beleieve the BBT is something that happened to cause this "start". Back then, all the universe was packed together in one, dense point, called a sigularity. This little guy was full of EVERYTHING, and I mean EBERYTHING (that was for you, cheebs).  Now for some reason, it decided to explode, sending not just matter, no, but space AND time in different directions! I guess time really does fly! *corny drum sound*

 

Sorry this picture is so small, it refused to cooperate!

  It was REALLY hot at first, about 10,000 million million million degrees. Three millions! That'll burn your marshmallow... but anyways, eventually (and kinda obviosuly) the universe cooled down and things like stars and galaxies began to form. All the matter began to expand, and it's still expanding to this day!

This is what we would look like if the universe hadn't have cooled down.

  So, I was watching brainpop, and they gave a really good example as to why the planets and stars and galaxies and whatever are getting father away from each other. So you guys know raisin bread, right? (YUCK). So when your baking the bread, it expands and the raisins spread apart, like the planets and stars and galaxies and whatever!

Okay, I admit it, this looks yummy.

  The BBT was first propsed by Georges Lemaitre, in 1927. A few years later, American astronomer Edwin Hubble came out with evidence supporting the BBT. His observations said that not only is everything in the universe moving away from everything else, but that all matter had taken the same amount of time to get wherever it is, all starting from a single position. Well, gee, Mr. Hubble, just steal the show why don't you?

Georges Lemaitre

    Other things since then have given us evidence as to whether the big bang actually happened. One telescope was able to look so far into the distant universe that it actually found leftovers of radiation caused by the big bang! You gotta admit, that's "pretty cool". (joke with cheebs again)

Well, anyways, farewell for now. SuperSaraSuperBye!!! Sorry for the shortness of it.

Really Can't Get Any More Official Than This

For Those Younger Folks

I Can See Clearly Now, The Rain is Gone!

Yeah I really don't know what the title has to do with lights (which is what were talking about today by the way), but, I mean, if you see clearly and the rain has gone, wouldn't the light come out? Just saying...  

  Well anyways today were gonna be talking about lights. Light is (as approved by the dictionary... or my science book I guess..?) electromagnetic radiation that YOU CAN SEE. You know how I talked about the electromagnetic spectrum? (which you can find here) Well, on the ES, there's a section called visible light, which again, we will be talking about today. Now, you're probably dying to ask how light travels, and where some sources come from? I know, I was too ;) 

I feel like such a five year old with all these pictures 

  Where does light come from? Well, the sun obviously (like Mr. Sun as seen above) shines reeeaaaallllyyy bright. The sun is a natural source of light. Some animals even make natural light, like little fish that live at the bottom of the ocean, called angler fishes.

Aw! I'm sure some of them are nice :)

  Now some of you may be thinking that the moon is a natural source of energy. But alas, that's wrong. The moon just always reflects light from the sun. Sorry!

 

Cheater.

  Now were going to talk about some things that light can do. It has many "powers", per say, like traveling for example. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second (that's 360 million miles an hour), and it's the fastest thing us humans know to exist. We haven't traveled at the speed of light, but we've gone "very very nearly almost as fast" (credit to charlieissocoolike in his lights video). 

It's supposed to be a running light bulb, okay? Geez, people. 

  Another thing I'm gonna talk about is color. Everyone likes color, in pictures, in clothes (except for this crazy color trend that's going on... me, I prefer to wear blue) and pretty much everything else! But do you ever wonder where colors come from? Well, they come from light. 

Pretttttyyyyy Flower

  The colors we see are actually white light. These white light waves that are visible to the human eye, and we see them as the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The colors of the rainbow! NOW THE PICTURES ABOVE MAKE SENSE! 

  So, if all the colors are in white light, how can we tell what color is which? How can you tell this font is purple? How can you tell my shirt is navy blue? Well, actually.... nevermind about the shirt thing. Anyways, the answer to that question is because light get absorbed! If my shirt is blue it's because all the colors (roygbiv) are absorbed but blue, which is reflected off the shirt! So I guess it'd be more a roygiv, because the blue is reflected.... (just a nice science joke for you guys out there). 

 

  When you think about colors, and where they come from, it can be kind of confusing. But hopefully now you know, and I explained well enough. Now if you're wondering, "Is this like, some kind of reflection paragraph or something?" Well, YES, it is a reflection paragraph, because, I talked about how materials reflect colors up there^. See what I did there?? Hehe.

Oh my gosh!!! :) Babies are so cute. 

  Well that must be it for my blog. I hope you enjoyed and... yeah. SuperSaraSuperBye! 

Some good stuff about the visible light spectrum
