Notice the sloppy job I did messing up the picture>

Also in history today, the Vietnam war ended, when south Vietnam surrendered to north Vietnam.

The weather forecast

The real spring weather is almost here, in our area, the last time that 80 degree weather has been in the forecast was back in October.

I really can't wait, I have a whole window full of plants waiting to be put outside, and I want the temperatures to be just about perfect, I want them to grow as fast as possible, I eat a lot!

I'm really not the type of person that does gardening, but anyone can grow corn, beans, or anything else. Just plant it, water it, give it sun, and watch it grow. If you start from seeds, most seed packets have directions on how to care for the plant. You can also use the Internet. I am growing tomatoes this year, and I heard that tomatoes are best grown in perfect conditions. I visited Reneesgarden.com while using Google to find out how to grow a tomato. The site gives pictures and describes the steps for growing the certain plant.

In this economic depression, I believe that growing my own food will be a good thing for the economy in some way. For example, corn, which is Iowa's biggest crop. If I grow more of my own corn, then there will be more corn for making ethanol gasoline (E85), which is cheaper, and supposedly better than every other gasoline. Think about growing your own corn this year. It's cheaper than going to the store and buying it.

What I hate about school

last week, I took a test in my math class. It was a short little test, but it was a test. I put everything that I had into this little test. OK, now you know the first part of the story, here's the part that I hate.......

When we received the tests yesterday, I found out that I had failed this test, I didn't receive any points, not one! Why would this be, you ask? I used a pen to take my test with. now I know what you are probably thinking, why should that matter? well, I don't really know. I always thought that a test was supposed to be an evaluation on weather or not a person is understanding the material, not having anything to do with what you used to write the test with. Hell, I could've used a crayon, marker, highlighter, or even chalk and still gotten many correct answers!

Ok, now just because I like to leave on a happy note, here's a funny picture from funnypart.com:
