Looking Forward....

I guess I'm really looking forward to college. I'm also scared silly, cause I will be like two hours away from everyone I love. But I guess I will meet new people and eventually be alright. I just remember my friend Alex writing me to say how much he was freaking out about his first week or two of college. Now he's alright and he loves it, but still. That first few weeks are going to be scary. I'm also looking forward to summer.... I'm onto year number three at East Bay as a lifeguard. I love it. Hopefully Iwill be getting another motorcycle really soon too.... depends on graduation money. But yeah.. I've definitly got a lot of things to look forward to.

Top 10 Favorite Vacations

10) Colorado- Since my sister is adopted we always meet with the other girls she was in the orphanage with and their families once every few years. Normally we just rent a few cabins, eat, talk, and swim for 3 or 4 days. Colorado was my favorite of these experiences though because there was so much to do. We were at a place called Estes Park, and there was tons of hiking, sports, and swimming to do. And it wwas on top of the mountain.



9)Virginia- This one was a while ago. But we basically hung out at Cape May for a week, it was really secluded and sweet. We even had to ride a farry for like 4 hours to get to it. The cooolest thing my parents did though was rent a 4 person bicycle for us to ride around town in. I still have a rock that I found on the beach.



8) Wisconson- We drove really far north to a place I can't remember now, but it was really cool. I got to rent a sailboat and teach my dad to sail on Lake Michigan. They also had a really really cool restaurant that had goats on the roof, litereally, like there was even grass growing on the roof for the goats to eat. CRAZY. The water was really clear too, even though it wasn't a good thing.



7)Florida Deca Trip- I went through my AVC, and even though there was only 5 other people going besides my teacher and her mom, it was pretty sweet. My teacher basically let us run wild the entire time, and we walked everywhere surprisingly enough not getting into too much trouble. Swimming at 2 in the morning, riding roller coasters all day... it was sweet.



6)Canada- Nova Scotia was super pretty too. Cold. But cool. I don't really know what to say about it, but Niagra Falls was sweet. And farther up north the fog was so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.



5)Wyoming- My family and myself went to Yellowstone, which was super cool. I don't really know why since the whole place smelled like rotten eggs. But it was really pretty, and there was a lot of cool scenery. I love hiking and my parents actualyl let me go out a few times with my sister.



4)California( time #2) The first experience was TERRIBLE. Third was also not so great. Second was pretty good though, all we really did was hang out and go to the beach. It was a good time, nobody was too cranky, and I got to see my baby nephew for the first time.



3)Florida by myself- A couple years ago my sister still lived in Florida. Well I was getting really sick of high school, friends, and family. I basically found the ticket by myself, set up everything, and told my parents all I needed was their credit card. Shockingly they agreed, and I got to spend spring break in Florida helping my sister plan for her wedding.



2)Florida with the girls-Myself and my 3 best friends went on a mission trip to Tampa. We yelled at each other a lot, and my youth pastor though we were going to kill each other. But honestly it was a good time, we messed around the entire time, and got to meet soem really cool people



1)Australia- I went with my dad in the 6th grade, and it was AWESOME. We went all over from Sydney, to the outback. I got to snorkle, swim upstream a mile with aligators to a mega huge waterfall, and see the place where Ned Kelly was hung. I can't wait to go back...

Summer Conflict

I guess my internal conflict would be about... school, summer, college, camp.... blah blah blah. I love my job at FS, but I love East Bay at the same time. Even though I've already decided I'm going to work at the camp this summer, I'm still probably going to cry a lot on my last night at FS. It was like the best job ever. I've tried to justify it by thinking about how I'm going to have a blast this summer and it's time to move on anyways. Not to mention that I'll have to let go anyways to go to college so whatever. I'll make more money and spend less at EB anyways.

Perfect Guy <3

For sure he would have to be up beat all the time, cause I feel that my mood is highly reflected off of others. Blue eyes are a must, dark messy hair, not too long. Definitly TAN! Definitly TALL! Built, but not like a body builder. His laugh would have to be enough to make me melt, patientience to no end, selfless... He would definitly have to be behind me for whatever crazy thing do next. Cardinals fan. Play's guitar. We would eventually run our own business together, but he would go to school to be a kindergarten teacher. Former lifeguard, marathon runner, but has a passion for pizza and ice cream too. As for his name...thats hard. I guess if he had all those qualities, it wouldn't matter if his name was Eugine Potter II... OH AND he would have to have a passion for traveling, seeing the world, and trying new things.

Story of My Life

Freshly graduated from highschool, my charactor, Cooper, played by Ellen Page decides that she's going to drive a cross country trip to California to visit her older sister Bella. Her mother (Susan Sarandon) does everything in her power to stop her, even threatening her college career. After conveying her plans to her two best friends Ella and Sophia, (Amanda Bynes, & Oleysa Rulin) they quickly join her knowing that this would be one of their last great adventures before they split up in the fall. Through out the movie though they come up with tons of problems giving them reasons to go back home, but they decide to shut all communication off to home, and finish the trip with style.

I decided to have Ellen Page portray myself because I feel that she could really bring out a lot of my dry humor that some people don't get. For my mom I needed somebody who could seem very angry and uptight, but could show they cared too. For my two best friends, I needed one actress who could be crazy all the time, and one who is almost motherly-like.

Stitch in Time

Honestly off the top of my head I can't think of anything too crazy that I've regretted. Probably lying in general would be my biggest. There have been a lot of times when I lied about something stupid to my parents, when I wouldn't have gotten in trouple anyways. But then I normally got caught, and got into more trouble. Actually once I start to think about it, lying has gotten me in the most trouble out of anything in my life. I normally regret it, but sometimes I make my way out of stupid situations. I've gotten better at it though, sometimes stupid stuff just kinda pops out like word vomit, but I've definitly gotten better at controling it.

Week 3- VACATION :)

I constantly have dreams that I'm someplace different, and totally exotic. The other day I had a dream that I was back in Australia in the out back, it's so pretty! There's a huge water call called Twin Falls, and you have to swim up to it. I'm pretty sure I dream about it because I can't wait to go back. It's one of those places that you can't even explain, it's so beautiful! I also have dreams I'm like, kick butt super hero. I laughed once when I woke up, because I'm super defensive of my little sister, and I had a dream that I kicked this guys butt when he tried to break into my house and hurt her. I dunno if that counts as not wanting to wake up, but I definitly enjoyed it!
