??

sooo im hoping for no school tomorrow. The roads are kind of bad out already and we got quite a bit of snow today I was surprised. this weekend was alright nothing great, the dance wasn't so good nobody came and the music wasn't good. hopefully next weekend i have a lot less homework then i had this weekend.

Well...

Well I'm pretty confused about whether we have school tomorrow or not. A lot of people say we don't but its not on the news. I think I'll just not go anyway. But anyways we were suppose to blog about the particular thing. I guess my particular thing would be my guitar because music is my thing. If i didn't have my guitar I would probably cause a genocide (but not really). Ohh and good job friday girls you did great.

No school

So i guess there is no school tomorrow!!!!! YAAAAAAAHHHHH I think that im going to go sledding and hang out with my super cool sister Maddy. I really love her so much she is so pretty. Anyways im sitting here ready to go to bed in my boxers and i had to wait for a good while to get onto this blog because my computer and internet are from the stone age. Anyways I guess we are supposed to write about a particular thing to us, i know ms. K has told me many times what it means but i still dont fully understand the point. So maybe my particular thing is my ability to listen and comprehend life and others people's ideas. So yeah no school woo i dont have to see all you people tomorrow except maybe you Brian ;) good night.

My Particular thing

Well, I saw some people had a particular thing post, so I hope its not to late to get credit for that post. Anyways, I'd have to say my particular thing is the Green Bay Packers because I'm from Wisconsin and they have always been apart of my life know matter what is going on in my life. And they won the Super Bowl this year! woo hoo!

Hoping for a snow day

So its snowing quite a bit and it would be sweet if we had a snow day tomorrow! That would give us an extra day to study for the quiz! Soo everybody do your snow day dance!

Weekend!

Well sadie hawkens was actually alot more fun than I thought it would be. I expected there to be more people then there was, but It was fun. I just went a catholic mass for the 4th time in my life. I always feel awkward because I don't know all the sayings and chants, but its a new experience. I hope we have a snow day tomorrow!

Another Quick Thought...

I'm really hoping for a snow day tomorrow. I need another day this weekend to relax. I feel like this past week has been rather busy--even though we didn't have school Wednesday. I was at the hospital all day long so it didn't feel like a day off.

I'm having mixed emotions about the snow. I love how pretty it is, I'm just really sick of being cold all the time. I can't wait until I don't have to put on different clothes for being inside and outside. I like in the summer when I can just go outside without worrying about making sure I'm not going to be cold.

Reflections...

I've been thinking a lot about college lately. I'm really torn between a few and I know where I want to go, but I keep having second thoughts. Calvin is such an amazing college and I absolutely love it. I can see myself there and I know it will be great for me. However, there are things pulling me towards Hope and MSU. I've visited all three and I love all of the campuses. I liked how MSU was it's on little city, how Hope is a part of Holland, and how Calvin seems like a community close to Grand Rapids. I think that educationally, Calvin or Hope would put me in the best position to get accepted into medical school. But, MSU is more known for that. U of M medical school loves Calvin students, which is the main reason why I'm leaning more towards Calvin. But I'm still torn....

As far as the quiz tomorrow, I'm EXTREMELY nervous. I have been reading this book so quickly, because it is so good, that I forget to annotate because I don't want to miss anything.

Another thing:
I'm still confused as to why we discuss the themes of the book after the first couple of chapters. I thought a theme was something that the whole book was about, which would imply figuring it out at the end of the book, not in the first couple of chapters. I don't know what the themes of this book are and we have a quiz about it tomorrow. It doesn't make sense to talk about them because we haven't read the whole book yet. It would be so much more enjoyable of a book if we didn't have to try to predict what is going to happen as a class. When I read books just for fun, I try to figure out what is going to happen early, but it's more fun to guess by myself rather than hearing other people's guesses. And it bothers me when someone gives away part of the book because I want to read it for myself, and not because someone tells me.

I still have no idea what a "particular thing" is.

Controversial Issue and My Weekend

I'm just going to start out by saying I am very glad my groups controversial issue is over with! We had plenty of time to work on it and got it done on time, but I was pretty nervous after hearing quite a few students say that they didn't know how much of an "issue" it was really going to be since a lot of people feel the same way about it. I'm really glad that we had questions that got people talking and understanding why abortion is and has always been an issue not only in America but all over the world. Overall I feel we did a pretty good job while trying to stay on topic and keep the conversations going, so I hope we got a good grade! :)
As of my weekend, once again it was a pretty crazy and tiring one. At the end of the day Friday, my sisters and I had to hurry home and get ready to leave for Lansing. Once we arrived we watched the Michigan v. Michigan State wrestling meet. Michigan took the win with a final team score of 24-15 (I believe). I was very nervous as I watched my cousin Dan and his friends wrestle some tough matches. I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I could go with my family. :) We then went to Denny's to eat some dinner/breakfast. I shared an omelette with my dad along with some toast and a hash brown. We didn't leave until around midnight and arrived home around 2:00 in the morning. Saturday I woke up at 10:30 and went to Sabbath School with my family. Later in the evening on Saturday, my sister Kaylee and I got ready for the Sadie Hawkens Dance as my sister Kirstie painted our nails and her friend Carly did our hair. We took some pictures and then went to the dance around 8:30. It was pretty fun but I was quite tired. We then went to my church's youth lock-in after the dance and played sardines for a little while. Overall my weekend was fun and now I am just relaxing at home and hopefully will work on my portfolio quite a bit today. :)
