The Pin Cushion Queen

Last week was entertaining. I finally found out whether or not I got into Honors Chemistry. I did!! Woohoo!! Wow, I'm a nerd. The only thing is, it messed up my schedule a bit. I had to talk to the chemistry department because one of my Honors Chem classes ends at 9:45 while my Chem Lab lecture starts at 9:30. See the problem? I was informed that I just have to show up for my Lab lecture 15 minutes late every week! This should be interesting. Not to mention I found out on Thursday that I had a math test in Chemistry the next day. Yes, I said a math test in Chemistry. This only gave me a day to learn high level calculus that I hadn't seen before. Well, that didn't happen. Out of the four problems on the test, I think I got one right. Oh well, I'll survive.
This weekend was fun. I got $21 of really amazing (and really expensive...$3.50 each. They are HUGE though) free. That was one of the highlights of my weekend. The best part of my weekend is going to stay a secret for now. :-) I also went to the American Museum of Natural History for the second time today. I had to write an essay about a scientific object so i picked an ecosphere. They're really cool. It also gave me a chance to see the Mythical Creature exhibit. That was really neat. It contained are and artifacts from around the world depicting mystical creatures and the legends behind them.
So, what about the Pin Cushion Queen you ask? It has absolutely nothing to do with my post what so ever. It's just the title of a poem by Tim Burton. Then why is it my post title? Because, it's random and that's what I do. Seeing as you're probably curious now about what kind of poem could possibly be called "The Pin Cushion Queen," it follows below.

The Pin Cushion Queen
By Tim Burton

Life isn't easy
for the Pin Cushion Queen,
when she sits on her throne
pins push through her spleen.
