Final Mark

I think my blog would deserve somewhere around an 80%. I know all year I really slacked off and didn't keep up with everything. But I have finally caught up with ALL my missing assignments and reflections I needed to finish (I think). I also added my twitter feed to my blog, which was a lot harder than I thought, but finally figured it out! As well as the books I'm reading list, except that didn't turn out how I thought. I can't figure out how to get the picture of the book to show and I had to link it to amazon. Did that happen to anyone else?
Anyways, I've tried to do as much as I could with my blog and I think it's looking pretty good now!

Personal Addition #25

For my last personal addition (possibly) I would just like to apologize for leaving all this work until the last day. It was a lot of work for me but I know it's a ton of work and I just made your job a thousand times worse. So I'm sorry for being so lazy! and sorry for not doing my work until now. But I hope you have a nice and relaxing summer!  :)

Personal Addition #24

Let's just pretend this is why I did all my work the night before it was due... I had a plan all along. Just wanted to wait until I was older!

Personal Addition #23

Just thought this was funny, and relevant because we only have ONE Monday left of school. Then when summer begins I will have absolutely nothing against Mondays because every day is a holiday!
So so so soon, I can't wait for it to be over!!

Personal Addition #22

Speaking of teams, this was my gymnaestrada team from last summer, when we traveled to Europe! This picture was taken in a giant castle we toured and I love it because one, it looks cool and two it took us so long to get it right because we had to use the timer and the last person was never up in handstand by the time it went off, but we finally got it! I had the best time of my life in Europe and I would relive it all again in a heartbeat. Such a great experience.

Writing Reflection #11

Pretty much covered my thoughts in the last post about the buried life project. But I have to add I'm excited to watch another episode tomorrow!!

This photo was taken at the cheerleading camp we had this passed weekend for Bisons (U of M). It was such a good work out and soo tiring, but I had a ton of fun and learned so much! We trained Saturday and Sunday, 7 hours each day (with lunch break of course) and by monday morning I could barely move. Even after spending only two days with this team I absolutely love them already. Everyone is so nice, funny and most important, they're welcoming. I know we're going to have a such a great year and I can't wait for the season to start!!

Personal Addition #20

So I know I bring up grad a lot, but it's just such an exciting time of year! The other day I finally got to go pick up my grad dress to bring it home and I'm so happy I love it just as much as when I tried it on 5 months ago. I have my shoes and clutch, I just need jewelry now, but I am so excited for the big day! It's so close now and I can't wait to be all dressed up with all my friends. I know we'll have the best time together.

Reading Reflection #10

@BrightonCW: Catching Fire (63) frustrated by unanswered questions, hopefully it picks up soon! @Cre8tiveHavoc

Reading Reflection #9

@BrightonCW: Surprisingly enjoyed The Hunger Games, excited to see how everything plays out in the second book! @Cre8tiveHavoc

Writing Reflection #9

So far tweeting is going pretty well. I have only tweeted up to 23 things on my list, so I guess I will go tweet the rest tonight and tomorrow! I never realized how many things I would still like to do. Even the small things. I also noticed that a few things that were on my bucket list before (just in my head) were things I have already done! Like sky diving and swimming with dolphins. Of course I would do them again, but those are things now that I can’t add to my list.

I like the idea of just posting the whole list on our blogs though rather than having to tweet an item everyday. I still don’t understand how twitter can be school related, but maybe that’s just me. My goal I would say would be to finish tweeting the rest of the items off my list, and then eventually get around to completing them all! Obviously that will take some time, but it would be the most rewarding thing to accomplish. First of all I will need to win the lottery and then hire someone to organize all these trips and places I want to see because I don’t think I can do it alone. 

Reading Reflection #7

Book: Catching Fire
Author: Suzanne Collins
Pages read: 1 - 31

Last night I started “Catching Fire” the second book to “The Hunger Games”. I figured it was only right to continue in the series. I only got through the first two chapters before I fell asleep, but I must say I am still confused about Katniss and Peeta’s relationship. I know I’m only two chapters in, but I thought right away it would all be sorted out. And now Gale’s in the picture. I always wondered about him and I’m still curious to see how his and Katniss’ relationship ends up. The victor tour starts soon, where Peeta and Katniss need to act like they’re in love again. I’m anxious to see how that part plays out and to see Gale’s reaction. I predict he won’t be too happy.

The President came in to talk to Katniss, which made her extremely nervous, and I don’t blame her. Even from an outside point of view I was nervous for her! Such an important man, with so much power I couldn’t imagine being Katniss. Her whole life has been turned around now with the new house and so much money. I’m happy for her and her family, but I wonder what’s going to happen to her with all this fame. Will it go to her head, or will she be able to control it? Guess I’ll go keep reading to find out!

The process of commenting went well. It's actually really interesting and I enjoy looking through everyones blogs. People post a lot of cool things, funny pictures and things about themselves I've never known. Having blogs was a great idea, I love seeing everyones posts!

Personal Addition #19

With grad just around the corner I am soo excited but so nervous! And now that grad quotes and baby pictures are due, I've been looking through old albums and school pictures trying to find the perfect one! I know it's more fun when everyone tries to guess who the baby is and this one is obvious it's me but since I'm the second child there's not many pictures to choose from. I guess my parents got bored of pictures after my sister. I think this is the one I'll submit just because it's the youngest school picture I can find (grade 1) and I've heard school photos work the best.

Personal Addition #18

I think I need to step up on my working out. I was doing so well for a while, running everyday but then all of a sudden I got so lazy. Maybe because it's the end of the year and I have so much work to catch up on that I just don't have the time. After school is done though I need to get back into it. Especially for the summer. I feel like I need to make a workout plan though because I'm never motivated enough to just get up and go. So on that note, does anyone know where I can find a good workout plan with different exercises to follow??
I also think my next purchase with be some nice new runners. Maybe that will motivate me to at least go for a run! I guess we'll see.

This is pretty much my new favourite song, plus Hunter Hayes is so cute. Also he is touring with Carrie Underwood which makes me want to go to this concert a hundred times more!!

Personal Addition #16

Just once I would like someone to deliver me flowers this beautiful... Seriously.
Just once.

Personal Addition #15

"Old enough to know better, young enough not to care."

I came across this quote and decided I want to live by it this summer! Since this is the last summer before university and before I turn 18 I feel like I can do anything. Once university starts, it's the real deal but until then I won't let anything hold me back. This quote is perfect in the fact that we're all old enough to understand most right from wrong, but that's still not enough for myself and I'm sure all my friends to not do something. So here's to last crazy summer! Can't wait.

Personal Addition #14

I bought this little journal from chapters a while ago mostly because I thought it was cute. I planned on writing everything in it, all my thoughts, quotes I found interesting basically just anything. But the day after I bought I completely forgot about it until I found it again the other day and realized I haven't written a word. So starting now I'm going to use it. As much as I can just get all my thoughts out. I think it will be helpful in getting everything out. In fact I will start tonight!
