Spring

Spring would have to be my favorite season. The beauty of spring is something words could not explain. You could get lost in the sight of the ablaze sun coming up in the morning sky. I would have to say that the rainy days would be the best part of spring. Its mesmerizing to watch the rain come pouring down from the sky making the everything look so alive. Its the season where everything comes to life. The animals come out from hibernation, and everything starts to bloom. You get to hear the birds morning songs every day. Though nothing can beat the warm sun beating down on your skin as you do outside activities. Spring is the best season because it is when everything turns beautiful again.

Irritating

I actually think that I'm as ready as I 'll every be for this EOC test. I mean we go over everything that is on the test almost every week. So if anything I think I'll just do the best I can on it. I do not know if I will pass this test or not. I am always very nervous before each of these tests. It kind of helps me pay attention through the test though. Anyways I'm ready to do the best that I can on this EOC test, and for all this worry to be over.

Spring Break...

The good:
One good thing that happened over spring break is that I got to see my baby niece. She is absolutely the cutest baby I have ever seen. I love the way she just starts smiling and giggling when she sees me! I love my little Nevaeh! She has gorgeous blue eyes with just a hint of gray through them. She made my whole week better just seeing her! Luckily, she was the last person I saw right before school.

The bad:
A bad thing that happened over spring break is that my car broke down just past the bridge. Apparently I had a dead cell in my battery and my alternator went out! So I was stranded with Trekas in the night while on the way to get Jastan, and no one was answering my calls. It would be a huge understatement to say that we were freaking out. It was more like we were on one of those scary movies, and about to die! The way the car went out was even more freaky! We were driving and then all the sudden all the gauges went off, but the car was still going for a little bit. When it finally came to a stop I was trying my hardest not to think of all the scary movies I've seen in my life. That night was not the best night of my life.

The ugly:
Their was a couple of ugly things that happened over spring break. One being the fact that the whole spring break I was thinking about how on Monday I had to get braces. The second being the fact that it went by way to fast! Finally, the ugliest thing about spring break was it was like my bad luck week! I had so many things go wrong or "bad" during spring break. It literally seemed like one bad thing after another was happening.

Bashfully bighearted...

I had to think really hard about a way to describe myself, but I think I figured it out. I would be bashfully bighearted. I think my actions speak for how I am. I am extremely shy when I first encounter people, but if I get comfortable around you then I tend to get a little bit rambunctious. I would think that I'm bighearted because the fact that I forgive people no matter what. I hardly ever hold a grudge against someone. I can get infuriated at someone, but the moment they need me I cave like a monkey craving a banana. I also think bighearted would apply to me because I take a lot from people. I have people tell me on a daily basis that they would have said something to a person for looking, saying, or doing an action that someone may have done to me. I don't usually do anything though. I can't say I always don't because sometimes I do snap, but most of the time I end up apologizing. Many of my friends think that I should be more mean, but what can I say? I can't do it. So I think most of the time my actions speak louder than my words. I would be a bashfully bighearted person with a slight tendency to be obnoxious every now and then.

High School Drop Out? Ehh, Let's NOT.

I knew that she had good reasons for wanting to drop out, but that didn't mean that she should. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and I knew that she had been through a lot. I sighed as I began telling her "baby girl, dropping out of high school isn't going to solve any of your problems. It'll just make things harder in life later. I can list several things that it could affect in your future. Most of them would be your income, your family, your daily life, your opportunities, and your happiness. I mean really who wants to work at a low down store their whole life? I won't lie to you going to school is tough. You have to face a lot of things like grades, prier pressure, and bullying. In this generation you have to face a lot, but everything you face makes you stronger. If you think about it in a positive way you could really go though each day without such a big struggle. I would just think about my future. When you make it through high school you could do something you love. You wouldn't have work each day while hating what you are doing. So stop worrying about everything around you, and just focus on your studies. Let's just get out of high school so we can live our lives to the best of our abilities." She looked as if this is something everyone kept telling her. So I pulled her in a hug and said"I promise you, your not the only one who thinks of dropping out. Everyone gets sick of the things that come with being in high school! I know what your thinking this is the same old thing everyone says, but I'm telling you that you will regret it in the future. I'm not here to ramble on about what could go right because I know its hard, but are you really going to quit since things are getting rough? Life is a challenge that you have to face on a daily basis so really this is just getting us prepared for what comes later in life. So I guess that the real question you have to ask yourself would be, is it really worth dropping out now just to hate your life in the future?"

Carnival Cruise Lines

The Carnival Cruise Lines would firstly like to start off with apologizing to all our passengers that were aboard the Triumph. All of you are survivors for dealing with those harsh conditions that you were faced with. I want to personally offer a free cruise to everyone of the people that had to go through that. I can understand that many of you would not even consider going on another one of Carnival Cruise's again. I, myself, could never imagine facing what you had to do. It grieves me to know that people had to go through this. Though you may not want to, I promise that you will never have to face these conditions while on one of my cruise ships again. We have thought it over, and are prepared for any incident if it was to ever occur again. We have set up drains, packed emergency foods that do not require heat, and installed windows to the rooms. We want to make our passengers as comfortable as they can be. Their is a positive side for what happened. Now other ships can prepare for something like this, too. Many of you are probably thinking that because of this you will never use our ship's again, but think about this in a positive way. We now know how people that live like that daily feel, and we are now prepared for it. You can never predict something like this to happen, but now that it has that just means our ships have become better. Give us the chance to prove ourselves worthy of having you to service. I guarantee you will have the time of your life.

Oh Snap!

I made sure I signed myself out of school so no one would search for me. I told the office I would be right back I had to run home real quick to get something important. I went and moved my car. Then headed to my destination. As I walked up to them I knew they wouldn't be able to see me, but I still felt nervous. I wasn't the type to listen into people's conversation or mess with their heads, but who wouldn't have a little fun if they were invisible? I knew I only had an hour so I had to act fast. I started out by listening to what they were talking about, but after awhile that got boring. So I went to the white board while they were talking about crazy things that were so off topic its just unreasonable. I wrote across the board making the marker squeak. Everyone looked up and some of the guys were like it's Momma! I walked around the room moving things around, throwing things, and walked over to one of the girls grabbing their hair throwing it up. People were coming up with some crazy ideas, but they didn't freak out until I opened the door wide open making sure it wouldn't close. Jastan came to shut the door and I pushed him backwards. He freaked out and said "Eveyone for themselves!" I had to try not to laugh because that boy was out of here faster than someone could say oh snap! I looked at the time realizing that I was about to be visible! I took off at a sprint to get back to the place I parked my car. I got back in and headed back to school to see what everyone had to say about the crazy activities in Mrs.Water's English class.

Uhmm, your joking right?

A lot of people are talking about taking out fatty foods and replacing them with healthy foods. I agree with the fact that we need more healthy foods, but the way they are doing it is not going to make a difference. If they take all of the unhealthy snacks then kids are just going to bring their own or find ways to get fatty foods. The main argument that I have is if kids want to have fatty foods they will find a way to get them. So really what is the point of taking unhealthy foods out of schools when kids will just pig out on the during lunch or after school? It really has no effect on kids if they do that. They should allow kids to have the choice of eating healthier, but they should not try to force it upon them.

Bucket list.

My bucket list is kind of plain, but I never really thought of a bunch things I have always wanted to do. So I guess I'll do these sense they are the first to come to my mind.

1. I want to swim with the magnificent dolphins.

2.  I want to fall in an unending love.

3. I want to be fearless while bungee jumping.

4. I want to have a simple, but grand wedding.

5. I want to tour the beautiful city of Paris, France.

Exuberant

Exuberant- filled with or characterized by a lively energy and excitement-adj.

Martin Luther King, Jr. always made things seem bright even when they were down.

 Cause he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
 Mama's song by Carrie Underwood.
I like this song because it shows what I want in my future. Also it's my moms favorite song.

Addiction.(=

   I'm addicted to music. When I'm not in school and you see me I always have music going. I have been addicted to music since I was little. I don't think my addiction is bad so I probably don't need to do anything about it. It just helps me get through my day, and is something I can relate to. That to me doesn't sound to bad.
   
So I asked my friend Martin what his addiction was and not to my surprise he said fire. I can see how his addiction would be fire since he is a fire fighter.

New Year New Me

    Well, every year people talk about a new year means a new me. I understand this in a way, but at the same time I don't think anyone ever really follows them. I made three new year resolutions. My first being that I forgive everyone that has ever done something harsh or wrong towards me. I think since it is a new year I can't hold onto the past. Everyone makes mistakes so its time to accept that, and let it go. Secondly, that I do better in school. I only do what I have to in school I have never given my full effort so I think its time to start to doing better and getting my grades were they should be. Lastly, that I get a better relationship with my friends. I have lost a lot friends this year, and gained new ones. I'm going to try to be a better friend, but also know my limits. I can't do everything and I have to accept that.
     During break I mostly spent time with friends. Yanci and I made a lot of road trips. We mostly went to Childress to eat McDonald's. We made new friends which is always a great thing. We didn't do anything that exciting, but just go places and meet new people. We ate a lot of food. I swear we should have gained thirty pounds with as much as we were eating. I guess the most exciting thing was when we were fighting over the keys in my car while they were in the ignition. I tried pulling them out and somehow didn't turn the engine off first. While everyone was trying to fix the problem we just made it worse. So there we were stuck without a ride, and had to call a friend to come get us. That put a downer in all our plans, but luckily I didn't get in much trouble so it was all good.

Donations..

So I win 100,000 dollars, and decided to give it away. I know that sounds like a crazy thing to do, but I thought that it would be better to give my money to a good cause than just waste it away on dumb things that I really don't need. I thought for a long time about what I wanted to donate to. Finally, I came up with an idea that actually meant something to me. I donated to the American Cancer Society. The main reason I donated to the American Cancer Society is because my Nana had cancer. Luckily, we caught it early enough to get her help that she needed. Though my family and I were lucky enough to have that happen, not many are. I hope that they find a cure for cancer. So I will donate my money to help out in the search for a cure. Many people loose the ones they love because of cancer, but just a little help can make a difference. It may not be much, but one step closer can be that difference that we need.

Red Powerade!(:

If a cow could produce something besides milk, I think it should be red powerade. Red powerade is my favorite thing to drink, and it is good for you too. Many of the athletes drink this drink, so I guess it keeps you going because they never seem to tired when they drink it. It is also delicious. It may just be my opinion, but to me it is the best flavor! It would probably change things a lot because without cows producing milk how would we get it? So dairy products would either taste very funny or not be here anymore. It looks like we would have to find something else to eat with our cereal though. I'm not complaining though.

Adjustments in School.

If I could adjust anything in this school I think we should add some mini fast food places to our cafeteria. You know how some gas stations have a small pizza place, McDonald's, and other ones? I think we should have some of those just in a miniature version. It would benefit the school because a lot of students would start eating here at school. I mean I know I love food so if I had a selection of places to eat I know I would be eating here! So my adjustment would be adding a mini McDonald's, Pizza hut, Chick-Fil-A, and Subway to our school. That way we have variety. Then the money made off of that can go to the school and other activities! They could even set it up to were we can just put our school code in at the place and do like we are doing. It would be a bonus for everyone!

Furious..eh maybe a little.

The last time I was furious? Well that would have to be when Yanci stole my food this morning. Now I know what your thinking its just food. Well think about it this way, if you had been sick for the last couple of days and all you had to eat was crackers then someone steals your breakfast burrito! Yeah,  trust me, you would be pretty mad! Not only was it a breakfast burrito, but it was from the Taco Shack. That makes it even worse. I handled the situation well. I stole my burrito back! She had eaten half of it, the little pain in the buttay. I forgave her though cause she is going to take me out to eat tomorrow, so problem is solved. Most of you might think this wasn't furious, but you don't know how I am with food. I love food. You steal my food then you shall die.

Being Thankful..

I guess I never really notice how great my life is, or how much I have to be thankful for.

  One thing I am thankful for is my car. It may not be brand new, but it fits me. It makes it easier to get to and from places. I am less dependent on others because I have my own ride. It something that I cherish.
  I am thankful for a roof over my head, food everyday, and being able to have something to drink. A lot people don't get to have that luxury, but I do. I don't think I ever realized how lucky I was to have that till I had to notice it.
   The true friends that I have I am thankful for! I have learned a lot about who my true friends are and are not this year. I really appreciate the people that are there for me. That mean what they say to me, and actually care for me. It means more to me than they will ever know.
    One person that I am extremely thankful for is my Nana. She is always there for me. She knows everything about me, and for some reason that crazy lady still loves me. She knows me better than anyone else. She supports me through everything, and she has never given up on me. She is my world, and I do not have any idea what I would do without her.
    Something that I am extremely thankful for is being able to say I am alive another day because of the man that means everything, God. God is someone I am beyond thankful for. He is the reason I am alive. He made me just the way I am supposed to be. He has unconditional love for me. He is someone who no one can ever compare to in my life.

Stranded..with a best friend!(:

So say for some reason I end up getting stranded on an island, I would hope Brooke would be with me. Brooke is pretty strong so you know we could have a house built in a couple days, and then live off of our surroundings. We would make bowls out of rocks and stuff. I would take my favorite blanket and an i-pod that never dies. Brooke and me would be jamming out to some music while sitting around a fire. You know we would have it made. Roasting fish, drinking coconut milk, and just relaxing whenever we wanted to. Doesn't sound to bad to me!

Embarrassing.

The big talk today is about the girl who got fresh with her parents. Instead of doing just a normal punishment they decided to get a little creative with it.
     They took her phone and added about ten photos of them being dumb to Facebook. They did this to embarrass her as part of her punishment.  In my way of thinking, this is not really a punishment. Maybe for their daughter it was because it embarrassed her, but for me I would have just laughed at it. So I don't think it was appropriate for her parents to do this. They should have probably just went with a simple form of punishment. Posting photos on Facebook can just get her harassed and isn't really punishing her.
    If your parent pays for your cell phone then yes I agree they have every right to take your phone. They can access anything that has to do with it. They are your parents. You are supposed to respect them. At the age we are, what do we have to hide? So I think that her parents had every right to take her phone.
    No, I do not think that my parents would ever do this to me. They know that I would just turn it into some kind of joke.It would probably fall more into them than it would to me. They know I would just edit the caption and make some kind of joke out of it. Its pretty hard for my family to embarrass me!
