I've been tagged.


If your reading this at this very moment, consider yourself tagged too.


Okay, if you chose to accept this challenge here's what you do: below are some open-ended questions that have to do with your current surroundings (they're red). Fill them in, post them on your blog, and go and tag other people! Now, if you REALLY don't want to play you don't have to. I know that sometimes I don't like to be obligated to do something, but c'mon . . . you know you want to!

Outside my window . . . The sun shining through the clouds. Now I know that it is almost always cloudy in Oregon, but the sun is out!

Around the house . . . It is actually quite quiet. Well, except for the song If I Die Young by The Band Perry coming from my computer.

I'm looking forward to . . . Washington DC! Every spring break for the past 20+ years, the mayor, Mike Clark takes a group of 8th graders to Washington DC. This year I am one of the people that gets to go with him!

I'm currently reading . . . Pride and Prejudice, and The Hunger Games. For the second time. Pride and Prejudice is a great book; if you can understand it. As most have heard by now that The Hunger Games are being turned into a movie, and I just wanted to re-read it for the 19th time before the movie comes out. (Seriously, this is my 19th time, I have kept track of how many times.)

I'm wearing . . . My school uniform. A pair of khaki pant, and a plain blue shirt with a yellow undershirt.


I'm creating . . . An idea for my Senior Project. I didn't think it would be this hard, but once you think of how many things you could actually do and then get rid of the ones that you dislike, and you are still left a bunch of ideas!


From the kitchen . . . Nothing at the moment. Well, unless you count the package of crushed crackers that I brought down to my room last year but never ate.


I'm thinking about . . . I'm thinking about thinking about something.

I'm worried about . . . Starting and finishing not one, but two math books this year if I don't want to repeat Algebra I in high school.

My wish of the week . . . Is that I will make it through the school year with a minimal number of long projects. (Yes, I know that it would be more of a year long wish, but maybe I will wish for that  every week.)

Alright, it is your turn. Comment if you decided to participate, I will be watching and waiting for your responses . . .


I hope everyone had a good start to there school year, whether you are a student, teacher, or neither, and you just have had a good time!

Lack of Blogging

Ok, I know that is has been just under a year since the last time I posted on here; and the last time was about not posting.  I do have an excuse, but it isn't a very good one. That would be that I have been in South Dakota all summer and there hasn't been much to blog about.

Posting

I have had a busy couple of months.  For those of you who can constantly post at least once a week, I envy you quite a bit.  I will try to squeeze some time in but I make no promises.

If your big day is coming up,
let me know about it!

Ringing in the New Year

2010 has been filled with many memories; for me some of these were going back to South Dakota to visit my mom for the summer.  Going to church with Brooke.  Playing softball for my seventh year in a row; yes seven years, this spring will be my eighth year and I plan to move up to the B team if they decide to offer it this year again.  What else ... Oh yea, I became a seventh grader, and in that process I met some amazing friends, although I already had some pretty good ones; you know what they say though, you can never have to many good friends.

    My New Year's Resolution is:

1) Read at least 50 books by December 31st 2011

2) I will try (and I mean really try) to post on this blog at least once a week

3) I plan to get more involved in my plans for collage, start creating an idea of what I want to get a degree in, all that kind of stuff

4) Try (really really really try) to run at least a mile a day

Fingers crossed that I meet these goals, and to all of you reading this, if you have a new year's resolution, good luck in obtaining your goals!
