Salt
O' salt
You are extremely salty
Salt
O' salt,
You are never faulty
Salt
O' salt
I hope you can tolerate this poem
Salt
O' salt
You're now free to go (em)

SOL 23 - A Conversation With a Lemur, as Recommended by Maia

Me: Hello, I'm a huge fan.
Lemur: Oh thanks, it's very hot here in Madagascar so please get to work.
Me: N-no, that's not what I meant.
Lemur: I'm in Africa, not Japan. Plus, I'm a lemur so I can sit in the shade and don't have to hold one of those flippy things.
Me: Forget it. So, what do you enjoy doing?
Lemur: How am I supposed to forget what I enjoy doing?
Me: No, those were two separate questions.
Lemur: Oh, I see. I am a ring-tailed lemur so I enjoy hopping around on rocks.
Me: Sounds... interesting.
Lemur: Yes!
Me: Well anyway, it was nice talking to you.
Lemur: I am very happy so I will bounce around and stick my lemur bottom in the air, OK?

SOL 20 - Milkshakes

     Everyone reading this, I have some very horrifying news for you. Let's all pause for a moment to utter audible gasps at our computer screens.

     I.
     Have.
     Never.
     Had.
     A.
     Milkshake.
     Ever.
     
     You heard me. Not once, never in my life, have I been to McDonald's or Rocket or Denny's and gotten a milkshake (actually, I've never been to any of those places just for food). Not once have I tasted the ice-creamy goodness that is known as a milkshake. Until now. This special milkshake was a homemade milkshake. Ice-cream and milk thrown into a blender and spun until creamy. The mixture was poured into a regular water glass, nothing fancy. The wonderful, splendorous milkshake was then devoured by yours truly.
   
     Guess who's now the world's biggest milkshake fan?

SOL 19 - The Stress of Almost Forgetting a Blog

     It's just a normal day. I'm sitting in a hot tub with my friend who's about to be bat-mitzvah'd in Joshua Tree, CA. We kick our feet in the warm water. This is so peaceful. We're talking about school. My friend mentions how her school does lots of contests every year and the winning classes get a pizza party or even a day to skip school. She asks me what my school does. I tell her we do lots of fun stuff also, including the Slice of Life Challen-

     WAIT.

     I FORGOT TO POST MY BLOG.

     I'm now freaking out. I know I can just miss a day of posting, that's not that bad. But I need that Starbucks. I need to post every single day or I will be forever mad at myself. Now, you may just be thinking, "Thea, why don't you just go post now?" But I'm in the desert. There's no wifi. 

     Frantically, I jump out of the hot tub telling my friend that I forgot to do something and I'll be right back. I throw on a sweater on top of my swimsuit and rush across the dusty road to where my parents are. My dad has a hotspot on his phone. He can fix this. I convince him to turn on the hotspot and dash inside to where my computer is. Clicking the Publish button, a weight lifts off my shoulders. I'm still in the Starbucks running for one more day. 

SOL 18 - Conferences

     I walk into the school building. My legs are shaking as I climb the stairs to Max's room. He's probably going to bring up something about how I am the worst student ever and then play it off with a "heh" and a smile. Did I forget anything in my portfolio? Is it all together? I can't shake the feeling that there's something I left at home and Max is going to make me uncurrent. Forty minutes later as I walk out of the classroom, the feeling drifts away. Whew. That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.
