The Office Tonight!!!

As you can tell I am a huge fan of "The Office", and I have brought the task upon myself to win some more fans over, even though I am pretty sure everyone is already one. So, why should you watch "The Office"? It is a really funny show and characters each have their own quirks that add to the humor. And why should you watch it tonight? Because it is the Halloween episode tonight, and if you don't already know, Creed is dressing up as the Joker! Also, so you fit in at school. So if I haven't convinced you yet, its your loss, and if I have, great!

~A Lesson Learned~

Once, when I was in seventh grade, a freind of mine talked me into doing track with her. I had done a few sports before, like soccer and volleyball, so I figured it wouldn't be that bad so I joined. Unfortunately, I ended up being pretty slow and I got cramps really easily. At practices we had to just keep running and running; it seemed endless. I chose to be a sprinter, so I could run a shorter distance, because I'm better at that. The good thing was I had the support of a team, and we had breaks once in a while. I guess if I learned anything it is to know what your getting yourself into before you're stuck in it for good.

Halloween

There are so many things that I enjoy about Fall, but one of things I love most about it is Halloween! I know that Halloween is a children's holiday, but there are many things that I think people look over about it. I have such amazing memories of Halloween parties at my cousin's house, bonfires, and dressing up as ghosts, fairy princesses, and witches. I miss being young enough to dress up and go trick-or-treating, and ecspecially the candy (not that I do not steal my little sister's candy). There is one thing that I will always hate about Halloween though, Haunted Houses. Halloween is a classic holiday, bringing back flooding memories of my past, and it makes me hope that one day I am going to be able to make Halloween as magical for my kids as it was for me.

Ten Things I Want to Do in My Lifetime

1. I want to at least once go somewhere outside the United States.
2. Become an excellent doctor.
3. Make a huge impact on at least one other person's life.
4. Be in three places at once.
5. Do something no one has ever done before.
6. Break Guiness Book world record.
7. Stay fit the rest of my life.
8. Become a national icon.
9. Star in at least one movie (even if I am just a background person)
10. Meet the man of my dreams and have a lot of kids.
Bonus: Have someone write a biography or memoir about me.

Up Coming Report Cards!

Well, report cards are going to be coming soon, and I am quite nervous. Last year I had only one B and the rest were A's, but this year I think I have at least two B's. I think the hardest subjects for me this year are honors Literature and honors Geometry. Usually I am really good with math, but this year I do good on the homework and, I am not sure why, but I have trouble with tests. In Literature we have a really hard teacher; the tests have completely random questions on them. So all I can say is, I can only do my best.

Peoria's Logo

For my assignment in computers class this week, we got to vote for logos for Peoria. I voted for the diamond shaped logo with a river and buildings in it. I chose it because it looked the most full and colorful. Also, for my second choice I chose the logo with the bridge, river, and buildings. It is less colorful but it has personality. Finally, for my last choice I chose the one that said Peoria and has a colorful wave. I like it because the rest were dull and had no personality.

iPhoto Assignment

For I our iPhoto assignment, we had to find pictures with letters from our names, pictures that describe us, and play it to a song. Finding the pictures was not very hard, but I had trouble with the music. For the first time, I thought it would be fun to make my own song on Garage Band, a program on our new Apple computers; however, it turned out to be much harder than I thought, so I decided it would be best to use the sample songs that come with the computers. This was a pretty fun assignment, and I think it helped me get to learn more about the other programs I am not used to.

Physical Goal

My physical goal this year is to start eating more healthy. Usually, I like to think that I am to young to worry about what is healthy or not; however, even though it may not effect me much now, it will be a good habit to start for the future. By starting this habit, I can resist breakouts and obesity. Also, I can increase my life expectancy and reach my full potential. Personally, I think this will be a hard goal, but it will be worth it for the results.

Progress in Project

Our group is actually already done with our newsletter; however, we are having trouble printing out our pictures. Ana got a lot of good pictures from Twin Day and the dance, and she made a very good collage, but the computer at school just will not print all of pictures. I would hate to see her work go to waste; personally, I blame the computer. So other than that, I think our newsletter is really good and we still have a chance of winning.
