Yeah, Yeah, I know I haven't up dated in a like... a MONTH! Well now I am. Busy days, lazy day, forget to blog days... it goes on. Well here's what I have and am up to these days.
Last month, I had one of the best days ever in my life! On June 6th, I got to spend the day with my Aunt (pronounce the au like the o in pond). Yes, there is a difference between aunt and aunt. Anyways, I spent the day with her and had a blast. First of all, I got my hair cut (which was the reason for the whole outing) and now it's bouncy and just past my shoulders! Second, I got a new wardrobe (FUN!). And third and best, I got to go see POTC 3: At World's End with my family in the evening! I had one giant grin plastered on my face! I was so enjoying the day!
I started up TaeKwonDo again! I go to the Dojawn (TaeKwonDo school) and do so twice a week, now! I have received two more stripes for my white belt, yellow for Community Service and red for my Self Defense. In total I have four stripes now. I can't wait for testing day so I can become a yellow belt. I'm so excited!
Oh in TaeKownDo this week, when we were working on our Self Defense, my partner forgot to attack me with a straight punch and as I was jumping out of the way, his arm followed and caught me on the side of my eye! It wasn't a serious one, but it wasn't a light tap either. It's just enough to make the side of my head tingle a bit.
My mom is making me her Shaffer to get in driving hours so I can get my license on my birthday. I'm getting more practice in and getting more comfortable in the car so I'm slowly getting better.
Greeting Bloggers! Yeah I know it's been over two months since I last blogged. Ok you guys, you can give me a lecher for not updating sooner. I give you the permission to do so. Everyone knows my answer to why I haven't blogged in forever... I've been busy like always. This time I have good reason to say that to.
The last weeks of High Country were a mess. In my Middle East class (M.E.C.) before the last day of classes, I had a paper due practically each week for four weeks straight! My mock Peace Summit was a blast and Team Palestine (my team) WON! Our teacher almost chewed out Team Israel for some of the terms they agreed to in the Peace Treaty from Palestine's side. I SO HAPPY THAT CLASS IS DONE NOW!
In TaeKwonDo, we had two snow weeks off so I couldn't test for my Yellow Belt on the last day of High Country, but my teacher said we're going to be training at the Dojang (TaeKwonDo School) soon and so we can be tested there. I might be taking TaeKwonDo at the Dojang over the summer, which will be nice.
Theater Performance was great on the last day; because that was the day we go to put on the play. Ohh... That was so much fun! Though I must say that sweating under pillows for a half an hour on stage is no picnic, but the rest of it was awesome!! I only missed one of my cues and that was it. I loved that class and I'm trying to convince my mom to let me take it again in the coming fall.
I had to get oral surgery a few week ago on a Tuesday morning to get all of my wisdom teeth cut out. Not pulled, CUT out! They all were impacted and weren't breaking though the skin. I couldn’t eat anything really solid right for a while (which dove me crazy), but have recovered and can eat anything I want again!
Oh, be sure to take the poll on my side bar. I haven’t seen “Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End” yet and I really want to! If any of you have seen it, DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING!!! The only thing you can tell me (If you want to say any thing) if you have seen it is what you think of it.
Well that's all I have for now. I'll try to stay updated more now that things are winding down in my life.

GOLLY! I'm sorry I didn't blog sooner, but I’ve had a rough and frustrating last couple of weeks. Many fun and not-so-awesome things have happened. Let's see if I can write my past few weeks in only a few paragraphs. If possible!
A few weeks ago I got to go shopping and see a movie with a girl friend. Megan, my friend, picked me up at about 10:15 in the morning, we saw "Night at the Museum" (awesome movie!!), and went shopping.
Co-op been fine for two weeks now. I DON'T HAVE EXTRA HOMEWORK FOR M.E.C. CLASS!!!!! All I have to do now is finish reading "Gates of Zion", write a synopsis on it, write two biographies, and finish researching for the "Peace Summit". In Taekwondo I received my orange stripe two weeks ago and this week I get my green stripe! Oh, in Theatre Performance, the teacher finally finished casting and you know what, I was wrong about the role of Julie being a Julius instead. Because.... I'M JULIE!!! I got cast as her and got back the My Precious line! I was so happy! So that's what happened in High Country over the past weeks.
This passed Wednesday, I had to go to the dentist for cavity fillings. I had a big one in my left, upper, back tooth. If you were to look at it from side, you have never had guess that I had a cavity until you looked at the bottom of the tooth. You know, on the chewing bit. Well, when I was numbed and the dentist started drilling, things just went down hill as I later was told. After half an hour of drilling they finally began to fill it. After the hour that I had gone into the back to the time they let me sit back up, I received back news about my tooth. It turns out that the whole inside of my tooth was pretty much mush, like cheese. The dentist told me that after he cleaned out all the rotted part on my tooth, I just had a hollowed out tooth, like an egg shell with out the egg in it. I was also told the he didn't know that he got all the decay out of it and he actually see the nerve that was in the tooth as well. I was also told to my horror that I was less than the depth of a piece of paper to having to have a root canal done and that I'm still at risk at get one if my tooth continues to hurt and not heal. I ask for pray on this, because I don't want to have a root canal done.
Well, wouldn't you know it. I finally got tagged directly! Ok, here it goes...
6 weird things about me: 1. I live in the country but would like to more back to the city; 2. I can read 5 books at the same time and keep the plots straight in each one; 3. I can't read out load all to well (though I am getting better); 4. I look sad or distracted when I'm listening intently to something; 5. I'm a bit of a neat freak and I'm just a teen; 6. I can sew something for the first ever and it looks like I bought it at a store.
6 things I want to do before I die: 1. and 2. Finish and publish a book or novel; 3. and 4. Travel to England and Australia; 5. Maybe start my own business (selling things I made with my own hands); 6. Go to collage.
6. People I want to tag: AnonymousGirl, ljcool, dancelover, Rose, karatechick1, and onedaymore.
I'm back again. Wow! Talk about time flying by with you knowing it! It seems that it was the middle of January yesterday and now it's February!
I usually volunteer at the library every Tuesday, but this year I had to make a choice between co-op classes and volunteer work. . I chose co-op because I faithfully gave 2 years to the library volunteering and there are classes at the co-op I wanted to take. When I told the volunteer director that I wasn't coming back, I felt that I was turning my back on my co-workers. They all had become sort of family to me after 2 years and I felt like I dumped them. On the first day of High Country (the co-op) I found myself feeling odd because I wasn't going to the library, and that was two weeks after my last day at work. My mom says that leaving a job is always hard, no exceptions.
As I said before, I started co-op (or enrichment classes) this past Tuesday. I switched co-ops; last semester I was at LAMS, and now I'm going to High Country. I'm taking a Middle East Conflict (MEC) class (which has tons of homework!), Taekwondo, and a Theater Performance class.
In my MEC class, we're studying the current events in the Middle East, some of the history of the Middle East (M.E.), and why the wars are going on now. The class is also going to be doing a mock "Peace Summit" between Israel and Palestine at the end of the semester. We drew for sides already and I ended up on Palestine (I really wanted to be Israel). We are supposed to find out about our "identities" for the "Peace Summit" so we can make a "Peace Treaty" that is realistic. So, I have to learn about Palestine in order to figure out what I am for this peace summit and create it. In addition to this, I have to collect news articles about the M.E. so I can discuss the current events in class through out the weeks; get a hold of and read a book about 300 to 400 pages set in the M.E., and turn in a synopsis by April 24th; and for this week I have to read 3 15-20pg chapters of a history book. Talk about a ton of homework!!! Wish me luck on this class!
In Taekwondo, my first day was a little nerve racking. The teacher put new students in a group by ourselves and told us to copy the belted kids for a little while. I was glad to find that I wasn't the only non-belted kid in the class; there where six others. First, we learned how to count to ten in Korean (I only remember 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. I can't remember 1 which bugs me!). Then, we learned three ways of punching, and three different kicks with help from our fellow student mentors. Last, we were taught the "4 Rules to a Goal" (I think that's what our teacher called it). I have the first three down, but I only the last bit of the fourth. Let's see, the 4 Rules are: 1. Know what you want. 2. Have a plan. 3. Have a coach, and 4. (this is a guess ) Act on continuous action! We have to have the 4 Rules to a Goal memorized by next week in order to get our white belts.
Theater, well, my teacher there is hyper. We started off with attendance and saying our favorite Disney character and why. Then we played red-rover theater version, which is simple: two teams, one person goes to the middle and gives the definition to a theatrical term (like: props, setting, etc.). If you got it wrong or didn't give the full definition, you went to the other team; if you were right you remained on your team. I only got one term right before the teacher switched to a diagram of a stage and started asking what or where a part of the stage was. I got those down. Then we read through a script that ended with someone getting stoned to death for pleasure. Yeah, disturbing! Fortunately the class isn't putting that play on.
Well that was the first day of co-op and this is running too long for me. I hope to blog again soon but I need to really wrap this up.
BLOG L8R,
~redwallwindow~
Hola Everyone! Finally, I get to blog after a while. I've had so much I've wanted to do that I finally got around to! I was going to get on and blog last night, but our internet was down! I felt like screaming because I've been telling myself to blog and I couldn't. I have lots to talk about though, but my week is going to have to come in parts. Well here's one of my favorite part about last week!
Last Thursday I finally got to watch (You all might go a little crazy) "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" for the first time ever! Now I know why everyone my age goes crazy about it! It's really awesome! I also was able to watch "Lord of the Rings: TwoTowers" on Sunday night. That was good too! But you barely see Frodo and Sam in that one! My Dad has gone and rented the last one ("Lord of the Rings: Return of the Kng) and I'm hoping to watch it tonight! The only thing I still don't get is why all the girls are hooked on to Elijah Wood (Frodo)?! I mean, they think he's so hot, but he looks a little freaky to me. I've been to his actor site (click here) on yahoo and his picture is weird! I will admit though that he is cute as Frodo in LOTR. I pity Frodo every time I see him, with the influence of The Ring and what not. I really like Sam too; now there's a devoted hobbit! Always trying to make sure Frodo doesn't get into any trouble. Well, Dad's back and I'm dieing to watch the last LOTR movie. HERE I COME "LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING"!!!!!!!!!!
This blog is the place where my dreams (Big, small, weird, cool, adultish or kidish) can spill from my heart. Where the kid inside of me can sore and my love for reading and writing can be seen.
You're a squirrel. You are a friendly creature and a dangerous warrior. You are deadly with a bow, and you are a swift climber, easily getting to places others wouldn't dream of being able to, fearless and extremely protective of those you love. You are also very close with the otters. Take this quiz!
