My Journey to the Zoo!..

The beginning of the this week, me and my boyfriend decided to do something little different, and we sort of wanted to get away from the Springfield area and try something new. So, we thought about it long and hard, and decided to drive a ways, and we both thought that the zoo would be very fun.
Now it is not the zoo that we have in Springfield, but the zoo up in St. Louis. I have been to the zoo up in St. Louis tons of times because I have family up there, but when Isaac, my boyfriend, said he has never been to the zoo, I knew it then and there that we had to go! So the next day we had left bright and early about seven O'clock, and made our journey up north which took about thee hours. When we finally made it, it was already about 100 degrees outside, and was blistering hot.
We first started off our journey at the zoo by buying waters because of the heat, but once we were hydrated and filled with liquids, we went to the primate house and saw all of the monkeys. Afterwards, we went to the side of the zoo with all of the tigers and zebras and giraffes. Next we visited the penguin enclosure, and it was freezing inside. It also had a very foul smell from all the fish the penguins ate, but it was my favorite part of the adventure. They were so soft and cuddly, and not to mention they were so cute too.
At this point of the trip we were about half way through the zoo, and there was still so much stuff we had not seen yet. Me and Isaac kept on trudging through the heat, and saw the bird sanctuary, the reptile sanctuary, and also saw by far my most favorite animal, the wombat. I do not know why, but it just looked so cute and cuddly looking. Also my most favorite animal there were the baby kangaroos (Joeys). There are so tiny and cute, and I wish I could have taken alone home and kept it forever and ever.
The only thing that was bad about the trip was the fact in that it was so hot outside, that we could not bear it anymore. So we ended up having to leave and did not get to see all of the animals. When we got back to the car, we immediately turned the A/C on full blast, and made our journey back home. On our way back though, we stopped by an ice cream place and got some cold ice cream. I will have to say that it was the perfect way to end our day though, and it was the perfect way to spend the day with my boyfriend. I can not wait until we can go back and finish seeing all of the animals, and where we can spend the whole day together.

Volleyball

Volleyball is the sport that I play this will be my third year playing on varsity. I love this sport the endurance and adrenaline it gives you. When I am on that court I feel like a different person, so free. It allows me to express how I play with intensity.
This weekend will be our second team tournament camp for this summer. The first one we had was in Bolivar Missouri and we played okay. We won one out of the three games that day so no so great. But then after that the next week came and we practiced harder than we ever have. The intensity was amazing the way the team was working so well together. This weekend starting today on Thursday we will play for three days. Today we had four games we were undefeated all day. Tomorrow on Friday we play four more games , then on Saturday we play one games then we go into tournament play. Which means we will play until we lose and then when we lose we will go home. But this year I have so much faith in our team I think if we come out and play like we did today we will be unstoppable all weekend. Today these games made our coach so proud of us. It was a great feeling when you work so hard with a team and then you become undefeated. That feeling is one of the best feelings for me. That week that we spent in the weight room and doing circuits and lots of running was so worth the excitement that is paid of for the day. Hopefully the rest of this weekend we can perform the way we did today and come out with a win in this tournament maybe even undefeated all weekend.

My Last 20$

Well for starters twenty dollars does not get you very far. So if it were me and I only had twenty dollars left I would try and save it for as long as possible. But, if I have to spend it. It would probably go towards my essential needs. Such as women care, or food. I love food so I mean if I really had to I would probably get my favorite food and grab that and that is what I would spend my last twenty dollars on.
Although I probably would not allow myself to only have twenty dollars I would try pretty dang hard to do something so that I would have more than that. Not to sound greedy because I don't like greedy people but you do need so money. Money is something in this world that you need. Which is an awful thing to say but no one can help it now a days it is very hard to have no money. So many people don't and it is very heartbreaking thing that is why I would choose to save my money for as long as possible. Even though I know it would be quite hard if I only had that small amount left I would make it well worth it.
Maybe to make things a little better in this world I might  give my last twenty dollars to someone that truly needs it. Because I took this prompt a little bit differently than others might have. I took it onto the more sentimental side and thought well if I were to be leaving the Earth and all I had was was twenty dollars in my pocket to send before I left I would make sure that I would give it to someone it was going to need and so they can have a good life on Earth as for I am leaving. I know it was weird to think of it in that way. But that just occurred in my mind. I would use it for someone who needed it since I did not have any more of a use for it. I know that I probably should not of thought of it that way but I could not really of anything else to spend it on like it had asked me to talk about so I was trying to think of different ideas on how to make the prompts a little bit different so therefore I could keep talking about it.

Something Bothering Me!

Well today for by blog I am suppose to write about something that has bothered me this week. Well to be completely honest with you there had been multiple things that have bothered me this week. One of them was I was not suppose to go into work on Saturday so I slept in, but then I get a sudden awaken from my mom telling me that our worker for the day has lost his key to his truck which is all the key to get into the shop. See my parents own there own shop very cool thing it is fulled with all sorts of racing stuff and Lucas Products. I love to go and work there is a lot of fun going and listening to people's stories about how they wrecked last weekend but their car is fixed so they are coming in to get fuel to be on the go again hoping that nothing bad happens this weekend. It is a great environment. Super nice people, almost everyday I have someone come in with a super hot new or old car that they show me because they just got done building it. It is always very interesting and exciting to work there.  But back to what I was saying about our worker, well he lost his keys and can not find them anywhere. It takes him and us both to probably there in about fifteen minutes so not to far, not to mention we don't have to be there until 9:50. When my mom wakes me up freaking out because not is there and our worker won't be there till later so she waked me up mind you it is 9:38. I throw some clothes on and leave at 9:45 and I make it there at 9:58. And to be honest I really didn't even speed at all. But anyways he told my mom he would be there. Well I get there before he does and I have to open everything and it is 10:32 and he just got here. So when he gets inside I start talking to him and he proceeds to tell me never to lose my keys. Which I know that I put my keys in the exact same spot everyday that way I never lose them. He also tells me he has been looking for his keys since 6:00 that morning. Which to me I don't understand because if you have known since 6:00 that morning that you can't find your keys well then you had enough time to call someone to pick you up and take before the shop had opened not thirty minutes past opening time and that I have already helped three customers. So all I have to say is if you know something is wrong within time frame to where you can still be on time don't wait and be late. I guess all it is, is time management which some people need a little bit of help with.

The Photographer

There were only three months of college left. John, a senior at the University of California, was majoring in Photography and was at the top of his class. He was very excited to graduate. The dormitory that he lived in was only two blocks away from the campus of the college. He rode his bicycle every day to school and back.
Ever since John was 13, he had such a strong passion for photography. He would steal his grandmother's camera and take pictures of anything and everything that he could. John felt that it was his sole purpose in life to "capture the beauty of life in every picture". This motto would have become very famous in John's life, but there was something very dramatic that John never saw coming. One day at the yearly check-up at the Doctor's office, his doctor Rick Summers had discovered that John had a very life threatening disease.
It was devastating for John. He only had three more months left of college, and he already had the career of his dreams lined up for after he graduated. He did not have anyone close to him, but he wished he had. He never thought that anything like this would ever happen to a guy like him. For the next month and three weeks, all John can do is lay hopelessly and pray that this disease passes. His day consists of nothing but vigorous testing, with many needle pricks and blood-draws.
But as the fourth week roles around, everything changes for him a second time. Now instead of all his tests reacting negatively to treatment, he is responding positively and making improvements. Another week goes by, and John is now ready to be discharged. He can not even believe that after how bad he was, somehow he can turn around so fast and be completely fine. When John returns to class to finish off his schooling, everyone is happy and enjoyed to see him, and he graduates still at the top of his class.
John is now a leading photographer for a very famous magazine company in southern California. A couple years role past and he has found a wife, and has a child on the way.
It had turned out that there had been something in John's dormitory that had caused his mysterious illness. Doctor's never found the reason for his illness, but they are surprised that John is even alive to this day.
John is living a happy life now, and is thankful for being alive.

Things that Annoy Me!

1. When someone repeatedly pokes me in the same place.
2. When someone says my name like a hundred times.
3. When someone is looking over my shoulder and hovering over me.
4. When someone spoils a surprise for me.
5. When someone says they will do something and they forget.
6. Driving
7. Being tickled
8. Someone asks me the same question like ten times.
9. PDA annoys the heck out of me.
10. People that are ignorant to your face.

Well it says that I must pick one but I can't describe just one thing so I am going to touch on a couple of them and describe a little why.
When someone pokes me repeatedly, I mean really you have got my attention the first time I am obviously doing something at the current moment. And all you have to do is what just a minute or two and I will be done.
When someone is hovering over my shoulder it feels like an invasion of privacy.
And no one like a surprise spoiled that is just plain and simple, it is no fun when someone does that to you.
And I won't even touch as much as I would like to about driving. I don't understand why people drive the way the do. Some people are purposely ignorant drivers they try and cause problems.
PDA is a huge one that is something you do in a private matter I don't want to see you sucking face with you boy in the hallway or at the mall or anywhere public for that matter it is disgusting and not necessary.
And last but not least people being ignorant to your face, there is no reason for it. There is no need to be rude to someone. That is just being immature and if you have a problem that say it in a calm matter trying to make things better not to be ignorant without reasoning.

Learning Languages

Hmmmm.... 13 reasons of learning a language. Well one reason is it is just awesome I mean to speak any language that is just amazing. One reason I can think of is well you can go to any country and you would know what everyone is saying. You can interact with so many people and not have to worry about the language barrier between cultures. I would love to be able to communicate with people of an opposite culture than mine. By being able to speak another cultures language is you can learn that culture like it is your own it opens you to a broad view that some people can not get when they travel because they simply don't know how to communicate.
Learning a new language might not be very easy but it is very beneficial. But learning those languages will make you a much more knowledgeable person. By learning a new language it expands your mind to were you are always thinking. For example say if you are speaking English but you know French then as you are speaking English you might try and repeat your sentence or think about how you would say that in French. It is almost like you are exercising your brain to constantly keep it thinking which is very healthy for the brain. Also I think more be can be interested in you because they can learn form you as well. Not to mention how fun would it be to be able to say any word in any language if you got that dedicated.
Something that I found pretty interesting about good reasons to learn a new language is because of jobs. Some companies are in need for people who can speak multiple languages which would be a great reason for you to learn more languages because more job opportunities. But that is just some reasons why it would be pretty interesting to learn multiple languages.

My Dogs

      So today for my writing prompt I am suppose to write about an animal that I love. I have two dogs they are both white with brown patches. So it only tells me to write about one animal that I love but, I have two. You can not leave one dog out of the picture that is just not nice.
      My oldest dog is Nola she is the best. She is probably the best dog you will ever meet. She is like a giant teddy bear. She is an American Bulldog, which by the way is my favorite type of dog even though I love them all. She is white with a brown patch on the top of her head. She is missing a few teeth in her mouth because she likes to go out into the yard and chew on rocks. Don't ask me why, she is kind of crazy like that but you've gotta love her. I tell her not to chew rocks because she does not need them. She is a little on the heavier side, like I said she is like a giant teddy bear. Everyone likes to call her fat, but in my family we like to call her healthy. We picked her up in Missouri and some people had bought her before us but they brought her back, which is something I do not understand. Where she lived before her home now was not the best place and she was in a metal fenced cage and the laundry line kept hitting it. She is a really shy dog and scared of a lot of things, so we baby her because she is a big old baby. But she is great I will love her forever.
      Now the other one on the hand she is so great but I still love her because she is ours. Her name is Diva. She is a spaz, crazy, what ever wanna call her but she is nuts. She is pretty weird looking but then sometimes if you just look her in the eyes she can be kind of cute. It is crazy it is almost like she was breed between and boxer and a goat. It is crazy how much she look like a goat but she wasn't. She never shuts up even when we give her the fullest attention. She has a hole in her tongue from getting run over by a car at her old home. Anytime she gets super excited and you touch her she pees, but I guess that is from when she got hit it messed with her bladder. But through all of her flaw we still love her to death.

The 4th of July!

I am sure I am not the only blogger out there doing this topic today, but I felt like it was a good fit. With today being the 4th of July, mostly everyone in the country was probably celebrating in some fashion. Some people buy a lot of fireworks and have big parties, and others simply have family over and enjoy each other.
With me though, I would say I had an amazing 4th of July. I had went over to my boyfriend's house, and we made a lot of food, and cut up a lot of fruit and made some fruit trays for his neighbor's party. We all went over there and they cooked a crazy amount of food. They cooked hot dogs and hamburgers, and had so many chips and snacks and drinks to go along with them. After we all ate, everyone got into their pool and swam until they could not swim anymore.
After everyone had gotten their fill of swimming and food, they all packed up everything and went next door to my boyfriend's other neighbors.
By the time we all had gotten there and set up, it was just about dark so some of the adults started to get all of the fireworks rounded up and set up. There were so many fireworks; it was ridiculous. They were going off left and right, and it seemed as though they would not stop. My favorite part was after all of the big ones ended, and all of the little kids started to light off their fireworks. My boyfriend's little niece was the cutest out of all of them. She is only about 4, and is so adorable. She had sparklers in each hand, and she was twirling them around in the air and was laughing, and having such a great time. I would definitely have to put this as one of the better, if not best 4th of July's that I have ever been to. I can not wait to see what all with happen next year!

Vacation!

This summer I went on vacation to Destin, Florida with my boyfriend and his family. It was my boyfriend Chatang, and his sister and her family. It was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. We went to Destin, Florida. We stayed in an awesome house, it was so beautiful. It was a two story condo with a huge kitchen and awesome sized bedrooms. I stayed with my boyfriend's niece. Her name is Logann. She is one of the cutest four year old's you will ever meet. She is also quite hilarious because she is super smart and also has a high pitched voice. One of the best parts about the vacation was how we were driving down the main road of Destin, and we had all the windows rolled down in the car and we were yelling random stuff. We also called it our "best Missouri calls". We joked about this almost all of the vacation just because it was so funny at the time. The funniest thing about that night was Logann. She made some of the best noises and also some of the loudest ones as well.
On vacation, that was not the only fun we had. Actually to be precise, close to every second we were there was amazing. Some of the nights we were there, we would wait for the sun to go down and we all would grab our nets and head down to the beach. We would scour the shore and look for sand crabs and other crawly things on the beach to catch as well.
Another thing that was great about Destin was the quality time I got to spend with my boyfriend and his family. There were several different times while we were there that him and I would go to the different shopping malls or outlets malls and walk around for hours, and then maybe get a bite to eat. Also a couple of nights we were there for dinner, we would go out to eat, and would try out different places. Most of them were very good, but there were a few that we could have skipped. There were also the few that were extremely good, but the were definitely over priced. Overall, they were all so good.
Last but not least, I can not forget to talk about the beach. That was where we all spent most of the time at, and I was not complaining at all. Most of the days we were there, there were red flags along the beach, which meant that the water was dangerous to be in, but not so that you could not swim in it. Other than that, we all were in the water most of the time, or we would be on the beach. My favorite spot was right in front of our tent. I would lay my towel down on the sand and just let my body cook in the sun. Tanning is one of my favorite things to do when I am outside by the water. Even though I do not normally burn, the sun was still so hot that everyone did end up burning pretty bad beside Logann. The worst of all was my boyfriend though. It seemed like every day after we got back from the beach, no matter how much sunscreen he put on, he would still be a lobster.
Vacation this summer was by far my favorite vacation I have ever been on though, and I hope we go back year after year, because it will only get better each time.

A Perfect Vacation

My idea of a perfect vacation would probably be to travel all of Europe. I have wanted to go to Europe for a long time. I would love to travel to Italy and see all of the old Italian buildings. I have always dreamed of riding in a gondola boat under an Italian bridge in the city. Art is my thing I find it very relaxing and it frees my mind. So with that being said, seeing all of the old art museums would be amazing, seeing all of the famous painting form forever ago would be a dream of mine. Also in Europe I would like to see the Eiffel Tower just as many others do. I am a big Italian food eater, so I would love to try their Italian to compare it to ours but I mean we all know would win there. Paris, France is like every girls dream, I mean it is shopping central there. But if I really had to choose between shopping or the art I would definitely choose the art that is just more fascinating to mean.

Other places I would like to travel in Europe would be Spain, Sweden, Greece, and Germany. I would have a full trip ahead of me if I ever did something like this. But just all of the culture between all of these places is so great. I know I can learn about it all in school, and I have. But just to go there and actually to see in person all of the stuff that you read, and see pictures about in history class would be so unbelievable. Just to feel like you are in a different time period is would would be so interesting. Being away from everything that we have now and seeing everything that they had back then but with a different culture is so amazing. This would definitely be my ideal of a perfect vacation. But to be completely honest to go anywhere would be a perfect trip.   

The Life as a TV Remote...

It was so nice and lovely sitting on the arm of the couch. I was sitting there all alone when a big greasy hand came from above and picked me up. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. To be completely honest, I was actually terrified and scared for my life. The big creature held me firm in his hand, and started to press all of my buttons very hard while he kept pointing me at the big square thing towards the wall. At first I thought that I was going to die. I was so confused and lost, that I sort of went with it and was hoping it would all end soon. 

The thing kept at me for a little longer, and then as soon as it started it had stopped. Whatever it was that had tormented me like that, had suddenly vanished from my sight. I could hear noises coming from the mysterious square in front of me, and there were also moving pictures on it as well. Just as I was finally settling down, the thing took me by surprise again, and did exactly what it had just finished doing. It did not seem to last as long as the last time, but I was still scared for my life. Although this time after it finished with me, instead of putting me down nicely, I was tossed across the room at breakneck speeds. It felt like I was going a million miles an hour, and I could not even tell if I was up or down, or even where I was going to land. When I did land though, I hit with such a violent force. Stars came across my sight, and the room slowly faded dark as I slipped down to my doom.

As I awoke, I was not able to move at all. I was not for sure if it was the fear from what had just happened, or whether I was actually hurt or not. Another thing that I noticed was the pitch blackness. I was terrified. I could feel something pressed on all sides of me. Then I realized that I was not in fact dead, but I was wedged between the coach cushions across the room. I remembered one thing in specific though before I was tossed, "GSN". I was trying so hard to think of what exactly that meant. I thought maybe if I figured out what it meant, then I would somehow find a way out and I would be free. I thought and thought, and when I almost gave up I heard it come from the talking square, and it said, "the Game Show Network". When I heard it, I was not for sure of what to think. I tried to say it, but nothing would come out. 

I soon came to realize that it did not actually mean anything at all. It had turned out that the giant beast had left, and I was stuck listening to the Game Show Network for hours upon hours. It was almost to the point to where I could not take it anymore when I saw a glimmer of light shine on me. It did not really matter to me what it was, just as long as it would let me free from this trap I was in. Just as I saw the light again for the second time, a couple of huge fleshy fingers came down into the couch and took hold of me and squeezed me. To my realization though, I learned that it did not scare me anymore, and it did not even hurt as well. I was so relieved to be rescued from that trap that I was willing to live with the giant. Now anytime the giant comes to pick me up, I am more than happy and willing to find anything that it might desire.

Things Worth Saving......

1. Pictures
2. Animals
3. People
4. Collectables
5. Some of my clothes so I am never without something to wear.
6.  Food
7. Money
8. Jewelry
9. Water
10.  Artwork

The thing that I would want to save more than anything are pictures. In my own opinion, pictures speak more than anything else. They capture all the emotions in that moment, and hold them for a lifetime. Anytime I want to get cheered up or think of good times, all I have to do is go to my photo album and look through and instantly I am filled with joy and I am flooded with all the memories. The great thing about pictures are that no matter whether they are of lost ones, they still make me very happy and also thankful for the times I got to share with them while they were still here. And very grateful that they were captured on camera so that whenever I feel like it I can look back to remembering those times that I can no longer have.

The second thing I would want to save that is hard, is people. I would love to be able to go save lives over in different countries because they do not have as much chance as we do. It is sad to see them struggle but yet I can not do anything about it. I am only seventeen so therefore I can not yet travel the world to do something about it. But since I can not do that and it is more of a hard thing to do, saving people here is definitely an option. That is why I have chosen to go into the medical field so that I can try to make a difference in as many lives as I can. That is something that I strive for in my life is others before me, I just need to get to that point in my life to where I can show that significantly.

My Fears

Well lets see I probably do not have thirty fears like the prompt told me to write but I can give it a try.

1. I have a horrible fear of snakes. 
2. I have a fear of heights
3. I have a fear of being a loner because no one wants that.
4. I have a fear of sharks.
5. I have a fear one day the world will end.
6. I have a horrible fear that we will be at war again here in the U.S.
7. I have a fear of clean cut grass because then my allergies will go crazy.
8. I have a fear of hurting someone without meaning to.
9. I have a fear of losing people.
10. I have a fear of losing my dogs.
11. I have a fear of whats all in the ocean.
12. I have a fear of what is in the dark. 

That about it, I can not really think of anymore fears. I am not really a fearful person I do not get scared that easily. But I can tell you one thing that scares me beyond anything in the whole world. I am terrified of snakes. It does not matter what type of snake it is if the name is a snake then I will be no where to be found. When I was a little kid I used to think that whenever I would see a snake that I would pass out and then it would eat me. I know I am crazy, I know they are not gonna eat me but I have fainted before. I do not know why they scare me so much but even like a picture, a book, or anything I just can not handle it. But snakes and sharks would have to be my two biggest fears. Snakes they are just nasty and sneaky. But sharks there is no help there if they wanna eat they are gonna eat and there is no stopping them that why I say within the two feet of water range when I go to the ocean.

Entertainment!!

If I did not see a soul for seven days I honestly do not know what I would do. I am always around my parents and my boyfriend. Hmmmmm, but if I had to really choose I would pick movies for days. I love movies so much I have like two hundred of them. Another thing I might do is read. I like to read but then after so many pages of reading I start to get really tired and then I just pass out. Speaking of passing out I also would probably sleep in a lot or take a lot of naps. Sometime I enjoy doing my free time is painting, so I would stock up on canvas's and just paint away. Which would be fantastic because I have so many painting that I want to do at the moment but I just do not have the time. Another thing I would probably do to entertain myself would be to play my PlayStation or my Wii, as bad as that sounds. I am not really a hardcore gamer but I do love to play. I would honestly find just about anything to entertain myself.

If I were to be alone during the summer, then I would spend a good portion of my time outside. You would find me either by the pool tanning and relaxing, or actually in the pool cooling off. Another activity I would do that I enjoy is riding my four wheeler. Behind my house I have a good portioned plot of land to where I can ride and drive around. But other than those the only other things would be either playing outside or taking a walk.

But that is all about all that I can think of. I would do whatever was in  front of me, just to keep myself entertained. I really enjoy just about anything so I doubt I would have a problem with trying to figure out something to do.

The Spoon in the Dishwasher....

It was so nice and peaceful in the sink sitting in the bottom. It was just an average day, nothing was different. But today was a first for many. I was minding myself when a giant hand came into my sight. I was terrified. I did not know what to do, so I braced myself for whatever might happen to me. But before I could prepare, I was wrapped up by huge fleshy things and picked up into the air. It seemed as though I whipped through the air and I was placed into a giant metallic box. I was still in shock from the hand, and now I was completely outside my world. Then from the opening in the box, a noise came about and then it slowly got darker and darker. The front was now completely closed. I was scared out of my mind.
It was quiet for a minute or two and I finally started to relax. There were no more noises and no more scary things moving about. It was just absolute silence. But right as I started to get comfortable in my new surroundings, this burning hot liquid came about the base of me. It was almost too unbearable. I tried to scream but nothing would come out. There was yet another noise, when suddenly there was an influx of water from every which way. From the top of the mysterious metallic box, water was spiraling everywhere uncontrollably. Then there was so much steam from the water. It filled every single inch of the box.
Just as soon as I thought I could not bare it anymore, a final noise came from the back of the box. To be completely honest I was terrified of what would happen next. But to my surprise the water started to retreat from the bottom, and the steam was not nearly as thick as it once was. The best part was that it did not stop either. It kept going down and the steam kept thinning, until both were completely gone. Then after there was no more noises, the front of the box opened for the last time. My terrifying experience was finally over. I was picked up and put into a drawer with several others just like me. I was happy to be away from that terrible experience. One thing I noticed though is that I felt cleaner than ever before, and I came to realize that it was not even that bad.

Knowing My Audience

This project on "Getting to Know Your Audience" was incredible. I have never felt more open in a class than in this one. This class has let me be ten times or social within school and its let me be free with my classmates. Having everyone answer questions about themselves serious or humorous was awesome. Getting to know you classmates helps you to be involved with you is in your class at a more personal level. Especially on an online class I mean you can not see your classmates only hear what them have to say. But what I have come to learn is more than looks you can learn a lot about someone about what they have to say.

One of my favorite humorous questions was Brenda's " If you were a super-hero, what kind of super power would you have? Why did you choose that particular power?" I found this questions quite great because I had never really thought about what kind of power I would want and why. It was very interesting find out everyone's different powers and why. I found Madison Martin's comment very funny " how she wanted the power to fly, so she would not have to drive behind people going ten under the speed limit or being ever pulled over by a cop." I found things like that funny because I would have never thought about that I mean I hate it when people drive way under the speed limit and even though I have never been pulled over I never want to!

Which brings me to the pet peeve question I have a lot of pet peeves. For example people NOT DRIVING!!!!! But anyways I found that questions pretty interesting, I would go back and read everyone's comments that were added each day just to see what people would put. I find it very interesting to figure out peoples pet peeves because then I learn to not to those things because I do not want to upset anyone.

I found this exercise quite exciting because I learned a lot about my classmates ever though I only truly know one of you. I have learned peoples pet peeves, where people are from which most of us are from around Springfield, also what super powers you would like to have, and just about your personal life and what things make you happy or your life lessons. It was nice getting onto a personal level with everyone I feel a lot more comfortable with this class now that this exercise has been completed.

My Goals!

I believe that I will accomplish my goals. I have always set goals for myself, I mean I do not write them down or anything but I keep them in my mind and I remind myself of them everyday. When reminding myself about my goals I put them in order from short term to long term goals. For example one of my short term goals is to get in "A" in my Comp and Lit class that I am halfway through. A long term goal I have is to eventually graduate from college and move on with my career in the field that I strongly hope to pursue. While I have my goals running through my mind I am always thinking of ways to accomplish them no matter what it takes. I will do my best to figure a way to make sure that goal is no longer a "goal" it is "a memory of achievement". When someone has asked me about my goals they have wondered how do you keep track of them, well I just do. Because I want them so badly that they stick in my mind and never leave until they are achieved.

Ten Things I Do on Rainy Days...

1. I like to pick up a book and sit by my window and watch the rain pour down while I come to a stopping point in my book.
2. My most favorite thing to do is grab a blanket and cuddle up in my bed and watch movies all day. 
3. Some times I enjoy just sitting under the porch and I like to watch and hear the rain as its falling.
4. Playing in the rain is also a great way to pass the day, jumping in puddles or if I am by myself I might sing in the rain.
5. Gather the family of three with my two dogs and pick up a board game.
6. Bake, I love to bake. On rainy days its fun because you can sit around and eat while you try new things.
7. I love to paint, especially on a rainy day, its kind of a hobby with for me.
8. Also along with painting sometimes I go a little bit more on my kid side and I break out my crayons and I color in kid coloring books.
9. Also on rainy days for some reason I become OCD or something because I like to organize things or change them up a bit.
10. Last but not least I love to sit around with my family and snack all day while we watch television, movies, or maybe play some games. But sometimes its nice just to be altogether and take a good ole nap.

All of those activities are things I like to do to enjoy my rainy days. Sometimes I like to enjoy them inside and sometimes I like to enjoy them outside either way I try and make the most out of it. I mean I can drive so I could go into town but who really wants to drive on a nasty rainy day, not me! But since I do not like to drive on rainy days I have to find someway to make sure my days are not wasted. But not since I am in this English class then that is another way I pass a rainy day like today. Freewriting on my blog, doing my assignments , and reading "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens. I really do enjoy this class it allows me to think of things I do and explain them freely. Like explaining what I on a rainy day. I never actually realize the specific things that I do but I guess you do not realize it unless you talk freely about it. Which is why I find blogging kind of awesome, I went onto Ms. A's website and I picked a random number then wrote about it. My creative state of mind was not working today, but it was very interesting that it is really that fun and easy to write about random things.

Comp & Lit versus Summer!

Going into this class, I was not too sure of what to expect. I have heard a lot of negative things regarding online classes, especially for summer classes. They have always talked about how you are swamped with work and barely have a summer. But as this class has progressed, I have come to realize none of those comments are true. Even though this is a class, and it's over the summer, I still have more than enough time to enjoy summer.
For starters, I was actually very worried about coming into this class. I have never taken an online class before, and especially a college course. I was not very worried on the difficulty of the work for the class, but more on how the work would be presented. In my personal education, I struggle with Reading and English. I've learned greatly that discussing and writing about what you read helps me to become better in these subjects.  For example, "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens, has helped me to comprehend what I read, and put it into a discussion forum. It has also helped me to be able to share what I feel and what I learned with my classmates.
But as this summer has progressed, I have come to learn that this class is not as bad as I thought. I have learned to actually love the class, because it has shown me how to become a better writer. It allows me to be able to share my thoughts, and the things that are around me. It has filled my summer with exciting new things about my classmates, and how they are involved in the class. In my own personal opinion, I can not wait to see what the class holds in store for me as the summer continues, and for how it will help me grow to become a better and more professional writer. I hope everyone is having a great summer, and enjoying the class as much as I am.

One thing that I would like to achieve is my school life. Passing high school will be easy I am almost there and my grades and effort has not let me down. Getting into college is one thing that will be a bump in the road a huge milestone. No matter how hard I try I always have trouble with test. Like the ACT I want to go to Drury but that is the only thing holding me back. I am a good student but test are a hard thing for me. I am fine with the logic side of things but when you put Reading and English in front of me and I have to take a test it is defiantly a struggle. So I hope I can over come that small bump in the road to better myself. But I do believe that if I keep pushing myself I will get the score that I need. I do not know much else to say about this besides that I am excited to keep testing myself to do better. But, also then when I get into college I hope then to pass. I know classes will be tough but I will try my hardest to keep my grades up so therefore I can keep in the programs that I want to go into. I am super excited to start my college life. Even though it might get hard sometimes I will try and make the best out of it. Also to keep moving forward in my life. I can not wait to hopefully in five or six start the career of my dreams and o have a happy life and happy family. Along with being happy within my career. Helping other is a huge thing for me and that is what I hope to do within my career is to benefit others. Which will then benefit me because I am satisfied with others happiness. That is about all I have on this topic I still have about a minute left , so I do not really know how to end thing but I am trying while the time is running out. Slowly thirty seconds left as the clock is ticking down. I am now done with talking about my I believes.

Jung Typology Test

I believe that Jung Typology Test was pretty accurate with my personality. Introversion over Extroversion was thirty-three percent. Which I think fits me good, when you put me in a room of people that I do not really know that well then I become more shy than I am outgoing. But I do not believe I am unsocial just only in some situations. My Intuitive over Feeling was a thirty-eight percent which I thought fit me perfectly. Because I defiantly o with my gut versus my feelings or others feelings. Thinking over Sensing was a twelve percent. Which is pretty right because I normally think about what I think is logically right versus how I feel about something. Then Judging over Perceiving was an eleven percent which is right because I like things to be planned out for me to have a schedule. For example with my English class I like how my professor puts all of the assignments and there dues dates at the same time. That way I can plan my week with school, sports, and work. But with this test it truly has showed me the way my personality is. Because with this test I look over my score and realize that with school and work I do act in these ways. So anytime I am in a situation or figuring something I will defiantly think back to this test.
