Blog entry no. 9

Mirror Image

When I look in the mirror I see a person that isn’t afraid to face tough situations because of the tough situations I have already been through. Looking in the mirror I see more than just physical appearance, I can also see my personality. I am a personable outgoing girl who can look at most situations and find something good that came out of it. If I could change my physical appearance I would make my eyes blue again and my hair blonde again. As a little girl I had blonde hair and blue eyes but they slowly started changing to brown hair and gold eyes. If I could change anything in my personality it would be my ability to talk to any person I just met no matter what their personality is. I find now that if I don’t click with a person right away I always have trouble talking to them. I would love to just meet a person and be able to talk about whatever I feel without feeling stupid or like they don’t understand me. I am comfortable with who I am, but I think there is always something, that if we had the opportunity to, we would change. I think for the most part others see me the same way I see myself, but sometimes I think I seem a little less outgoing than I really am. I hide tough situations behind a smile that I carry on my face everyday, because the way I see life is, if you can’t go through life smiling and having a good time then why live?

Time Traveler
If I could travel to any place in the world at any time in the past or future, in fifty years I would go to Cancun Mexico again. I would stay at the Gran Melia because that is the same place I stayed in sixth grade. It would be so cool to see what the city is like and to see if it has changed a lot from when I was there. I could only hope the food would be as good as it was fifty three years ago. If the Mayan Indian ruins are still standing I would go see them again. I wonder if they will still allow people to walk up the steps to go to the top of the pyramid, or if the stairs, with the rest of the sides, will be disintegrated so it isn’t safe to walk on them. It would bring back so many memories of the eight days we spent in Mexico. On our trip to the ruins in sixth grade we also swam in a sink hole. I would love to do that again. Mostly, in fifty years I just hope that the beaches are as clear and beautiful as they were back then. The best part of going anywhere with a beach is just laying in the warm sand feeling the water splashing the tips of your toes, and you don’t have a care in the world so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey that life takes you on.

Now That Homecoming is Over

Homecoming 2007 is now history but we can still look back and remember how great it was. For the first time ever freshmen went into the pep assembly winning spirit week, but walked out very disappointed because without lip sync we were unable to keep our place. In high school spirit week has so many more activities to be a part of. For instance the bon fire and community pep rally on Thursday night got us all pumped for the Friday night homecoming football game. Which for the first time in 30 games we finally won against Prairie Central. It was a milestone in Olympia football because everyone is so used to losing it wouldn’t even be a disappointment anymore. When we finally won we couldn’t contain ourselves and that resulted in all of the students running out to the field to celebrate with our Spartans. Saturday was a very busy day for me. I woke up and went straight to a cross country meet at 6:00 in the morning and came home to sleep for an hour before showering and going to get my hair done. At four thirty I went to Molly’s house for pictures before going to Logan’s Roadhouse to eat dinner. After we ate we went to Carl’s Ice cream before heading off to the dance. The dance was kind of a disappointment because they didn’t play very good music. However that didn’t stop everyone from having a great time and dancing all night long. After the dance thirty six of us headed off to Mclean to go to the lock in at the church. We went to play flash light tag and capture the flag and all sorts of games. Before we knew it, it was the next day and we were all going home to sleep and recover from the night before

Blog No. 5 Deserted Island

If I were going to be trapped on a deserted island for ten years I would want to bring a few things along. If I could choose one book it would be the Clique series because I could read those books over and over. I could choose any book but it wouldn’t matter because eventually I would get bored with everything. If I could take one movie with me to the island it would be High School Musical 2 because I have watched it five times in one day and not gotten tired of it so I know it wouldn’t get old for a little while at least. The CD that I would choose would be one with all of the songs on my iPod. I have such a large variety of songs on my iPod that could keep me entertained for hours at a time. You have to eat but it would be a really tough decision on what food item I would bring. I love all kinds of potatoes, but I also love spaghetti. In the end I would decide on pizza because there are four different food groups in that one food. The crust would be grain, the sausage and ham would be protein, the cheese would be in the dairy food group, and the tomato sauce would be my vegetable. To drink I would bring milk, simply because I love milk. If I could only bring one piece of clothing I would choose something that is a shirt and pants all in one because I wouldn’t want to have a shirt with no pants. Lastly for my miscellaneous item I would choose my cell phone. Because then I could get help and be able to go home.
