things to do in my lifetime

There are several things I would like to do in my lifetime. I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower. I would also like see Buckingham Palace. Other places I would like to go are Dublin, Ireland, Berlin, Germany, Brighton, England, London, England, Rome, Italy, and several other cities. I want to go back to Sweden so that I can visit my family over there. I also want to go visit Trinity College in Dublin with Taylor. I want to go scuba diving, para sailing, skydiving, go on a zip line tour, and rock climb on a real mountain. Other things to do will come, that I'm sure of.

I commented on ana's blog!

favorite hallowen costume...

I was a fairy. Yes, that was my favorite Halloween costume. I was Tinkerbell at my eight grade Halloween party and it was amazing. I guess it wasn't my favorite costume because of how it looked, but because of the great time I had in the outfit. I organized a party for the whole grade. I had an amazing time at my party. We had food, music, and a bonfire. My parents were really good about having the kids over and were extremely trusting! It was amazing!

Peoria Logo Vote

My favorite logo was logo number eight. I liked the simplicity of it as well as the colors, which were yellow, blue, and a green in a spiral formation. I also liked that it looked kind of like a Celtic symbol. Next, I picked logo number six because again it was simple, and had a color scheme much like the first. I guess I liked the circle format of it. The last logo I voted for was number seven. I liked how it had the old town look and had the establishment year underneath it. I really like the antique, classic look it had.

iphoto project... and other things!

We are doing a project with pictures and trying to spell out our name. It's weird but still a fun assignment. I have been having tons of trouble with the program. Every time I get on my pictures have disappeared and I have to reload them from my flash drive. It is a good thing I have been saving them on there otherwise I would be spending each class finding them again under the searches I had made. It is getting really frustrating for me. I have gotten all my pictures though so i suppose that is good.
Anybody else having problems with iphoto?

I must admit though it is a very creative project and I am enjoying the freedom of expression as well as the looseness of the assignment criteria.

I have been trying to get back into piano like I said earlier but I'm having some problem with the fact that I have zero time to practice oh well.

Newsletter Project

Well for the past week, we got separated into groups and began work on a newsletter. The topic of the newsletter was surrounding homecoming. People did articles on a wide range of topics from football player interviews, to cheerleader and dance team interviews, to asking the homecoming committee questions,to the dance, the game and other events. For my group I was assigned the dance. It was a fairly easy topic and the other girls had good topics as well. As for the article we all had to do we choose to write about the pep rally. Each of our articles had there own style to them, which made the Newsletter neat. At the every end we decided to name our newsletter the Irish Way. What was everybody elses' papers like?

Physical Development

You guessed it another topic from the mission statement. This time around it is over physical development. Physical goals for myself would be getting better endurance. I want also want to be able to run a mile and not want to pass out afterwards. I want better endurance because it would help at dance class. It would also be incredible useful for when I'm teaching dance class, so that I have the energy to keep up the young girls that I assistant teach. The endurance would also pay off for my other goal of running the mile. Besides the endurance and running, I think I would like to work on my core strength. In order to strengthen my core, I'm going to attempt to do 20 sit ups every day.
