Hi everybody! All right, so here's an April Newsletter...1. My 13th birthday is this month! (April 28th)2. Um...yeah, so that's about it.The April Newsletter is, to say the least, a little lacking! Please forgive the...uh... lackingness. Okay, so to make April a little more exciting, how about an APRIL CONTEST??
(I'll make this bigger so everyone sees it!) APRIL CONTESTSo the rules are simple: Simply send me an email or leave a comment listing the top (or top two, or top three!) strangest situation(s) that have ever happened to you. The best will be posted on my blog...so make sure the strange situation(s) isn't (aren't) too personal.
The strange situations can either be funny, odd, etc.
For example...(these didn't actually happen to me)
~ My cat stuck her head in my mouth while I yawned...
~ Five minutes after I was wondering if that letter from my friend would ever come, my sister brought in the mail and there it was!...
~ And so on and so forth...Also, thanks for voting on my poll! So far I have five votes! I think that next month I'll do another poll. Again, thanks for voting. :)
As I anxiously waited in the large auditorium for my name to be called, I strained to see the announcer. Finally, he said into his microphone, "Jordan Coble." Only he pronounced it, "Jordan Cob-lee." Oh well.I then followed a nice-looking judge into a classroom along with nine or so other kids and their parents. I was thoroughly surprised at how many kids did a Shel Silverstein poem. Mrs. Phelan wasn't joking when she said some kids would recite poems about the strangest things. Some examples (that actually happened; no joke): a boy kissing a girl and calling it addition, or a cat getting hair all over his pants.And also, what is the deal with needing a hand motion for every word? It got annoying very quickly!The judge, while she said something nice to every kid, told me that my poem was "WOW" and "remarkable." She also said I should try IT (Imagination Theatre). Then afterwards I got free ice-cream. YUM!Then Mrs. Phelan announced the results. All kids from Smith Flat (including me!) ranked superior, which is the highest score you can get. I was so happy. :)We went out for pizza afterwards, and I spent my own money on a silver ring, a racing game (which I could not do to save my life; just ask Mahala, Sidney, Rebekkah, or Rachelle!), and a stupid, weird purple glob thingy. (It was supposed to be a ball, I guess)But anyway, that was my day at Oral Interp.! I hope I can do it again next year; it was so much fun!!!
Oral Interpretation Festival is tomorrow! I am very excited, but at the same time, I can't believe it's happening already! At the festival, I will be performing "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll.More updates after I perform. Wish me luck!~ Jordan ~

I am SO excited!!! I'm getting published in the magazine "Stone Soup" for my short story, "Mr. Larson's Library!!!" I found out on Saturday - I was so excited when the letter came in the mail that said, "We have decided to publish your work..." :D I ran around the house screaming my head off!YAY!! More updates when it gets published in the July/August issue.~ Jordan ~
Okay, so I just had my school dance on Friday & it was really fun (especially because Rebekkah, one of my good friends from school came).
Anyway, Rylie got some good pictures. (Mom didn't get any good pictures - she got bad ones. lol)
I'll post as many as I can, but you know what happens when I try to put pictures on here. :) lol - again
I uploaded one - yay for me! :) This is Nick, slow dancing with himself...it was pretty funny. Many thanks to Rylie for getting this picture (she was our photography queen that night).All right, on to picture #2...this is a picture of Whitney telling me (an
d Rebekkah, whom you can't see) about how we should protest...they were playing a Miley Cyrus song. :P
Whitney is in 8th grade and she hosts a Bible study at school. She's really nice, and everybody likes her! :)
