Best April Fools joke??

I don't think I've ever seen an April Fools joke?  I know my joke this year is going to be great!! So, my best friend hates it when her friends date or even like her brother and I've known this forever.  So I asked her brother if he wanted to pretend we were dating and get Taylor really good and he agreed.  The only thing I'm nervous for is she will not talk to me for a while!!! :Z I'm scared yet EXCITED!

The last thing I learned was...

The last thing I learned was how much I really miss my travelball team.  My family and my best friend Taylor went to go watch two of our travel girls play in school ball.  When we showed up we ran and gave their parents a hug because to us they're like our family.  We went up to the dugout gate and started calling their names.  When they turned and looked at us they got surprised and at the same time were soo excited and from opposite sides of the fence we screamed hello.  Their school ball team was really good.  They go to Verado and they were playing Millenium, and the game when in to two extra innings, (overtime).  In the end they won and it was an exciting moment for them and a great game!

Changes

From this year to last year I dont' think I've changed very much at all.  I think the only major difference is I'm gaining grey hairs from all the stress of school and projects and DBQs I have going on.  I think I've become a lot more overwhelmed than I was last year.  The one good thing that has changed is I've improved majorly in softball from last year.  I've started every game this year and my batting has improved by far!  I've also become a person of intrest to a lot of colleges which is really exciting!!

Magazine Cover Idea

The logo I did was for a baby mop, but for the magazine project I can't take a picture of a baby mop.  So, instead, I was thinking about doing a magazine about new gadgets and take a picture of my weiner dog pen and instead of calling it Stuff magazine I'm going to call it Things!  I will use the dog pen as the main cover, and on a side panel have the baby mop picture and logo.

Spring Break

My Spring Break was the busiest spring break I think I've ever had!  I was almost never homw, which was bad since I had a lot of projects and homework due.  For about the first four days I was out running errands with my mom and having softball practice every morning.  I got my prom dress which was really exciting, because I also got my mask.  I visited my tata in the hospital, hung out with my best friend, reconnected with an old friend.  I had a softball tournament from Thursday to Saturday.  I did pretty well in the tournament getting on more than half of the time.  I improved alot over this week.  I got a hair cut in the ghetto, NEVER doing that again!!  I did a seven page paper for forensics, a media project for language, typed up two debate critics for history.  I was a very busy girl!

CLIP ART PROJECT

Vacation!!

I haven't been on vacation in a while but we used to go every year.  When I was little we used to go to California every year and go to different places.  One year we went to Disneyland, the next Universal Studios, then the year after that Sea World!  I loved going on vacation, but now we've gotten so busy.  Every once in a while we go up to my nana's cabin and just stay for a weekend just to get away!  I miss the days when I could vacation every year!

Roller Coaster Scare

The scarriest thing to happen to me ed about 4 years ago.  My family took a trip to Cali and we decided to go to Disneyland.  We were going there for two days in a row so that way we could go to California Adventure too.  When we were in California Adventure my sisters wanted to go on California screamin so we all jumped on.  I was afraid of heights and not only did this go pretty high, but it also went upside down!  I went on it and I had my eyes closed the entire time but I thought it was soooo fun!  Me and my sister Alyssa went on it probably six times in a row then my parents said we had to go.  I went to get out of the seat and the next guy put his seatbelt down and somehow attached my shirt to it, I was stuck!  I couldn't move and I was soo scared the ride was going to take off and drag me along with it!  I was crying thinking I was going to die, but the roller coaster person lifted up everyones seatbelts and I was free to go.  Man, having a "near death" experience was scarry!!

The Perfect Classroom

The perfect classroom would have mnay things.  First off, you have to have a teacher and students or it wouldn't really be a classroom.  Then from there, you would need either a white board, chalk board, or smart board so the teacher could teach the students by giving them examples and showing them by physically doing it themselves.  You also need desks for students to sit in, or maybe bean bags for each kid.  Then you should have music play either right when they come into the classroom or sometime during the class to relax the mood and show the kids they don't have to be so stressed and up tight.  Also, I dont think the teacher should give out homework.  We spend eight hours in school and then 1-3 hours of homework depending on which classes your in.  If you couldn't fit everything you wanted to teach into the 55-60 minutes you have with the students then make up for it the next day.  The perfect classroom should have all these things!

Horizon Game Tonight!

Tonight, the softball team plays Horizon High School.  Varsity is at homeand I'm really excited to play!  I've been working on my bat and out of the last two games I've been either 8 for 10 or 7 for 9!  I'm really happt to have my bat come around and I'm glad I'm getting to contribute to my team more than just my fielding.  I've brought in a lot of runs and I've laid down my sacrifices bunts and just regular bunts down perfectly!  I found that I'm not that nervous anymore and that made my confidence level go way up!  I can't wait to play Horizon and hopefully secure another win!

Perspective Grade.

On my perspective grade I received a five out of ten.  I was really disappointed to see an F on that assignment.  We had one day to watch the video and learn how to do this, basically self teach, and then one day to do our perspective drawings based on what we learned from the video.  I watched the video about two times and I thought I had a pretty good grip on what I was suppose to be doing.  The way I looked at the assignment was to draw a perspective building.  I worked hard first trying toposition the building to look the way I wanted it to look, I think I watched that video two more times to make sure I was doing it right and not messing everything up!  I tried to think of the major parts of a building and I decided to choose Walmart.  I knew that the building had to have doors and of course a sign  but after that it looked empty.  I added the Walmart logo to try and add some pizzaz to it.  That day, I couldn't figure out how to add color to the building and looked up videos about the live paint groups and how to group my images into a paint group.  I watched that video all the way through and tried it on my image but the only thing it would color were the individual lines and the text.  I couldn't figure out how to group these images to make them a live paint group.  In all honesty, I am a better learner when I have some in person actually teaching me.  Even though the video narrated what he was doing it was hard to follow a lot of the time.  I would appreciate it if you could have another look at my perspective drawing and reconcider the grade I recieved.

Last book I read for fun was...

The last book I read for fun was kind of a book that was suppose to be an assigned book.  We were suppose to choose a book in the memoir genre to read for our language arts class.  I chose Stori Tellings by Tori Spellings.  This book was probably one of the better books I've read in my lifetime.  Its her own autobiography telling her story of how she got to where shes at today.  The thing I really liked about the book was she was really open about a lot of things in her life.  She wasn't afraid to criticize herself and explain how things could have been way different!  I really liked the perspective she came from, even though she was born rich, she wanted to be able to work and make that money by herself with no help!

Fast Food!

In my family we are always very busy and sometimes don't have time to make food.  Many of our meals come from fast food restaraunts.  The fast food place we go to most is probably Ramiro's.  Our family could live on burritos and food from there!  Also, McDonalds is a close second!

Summary

In the article, "Protein Supplements Are Often Misused By Athletes, Study Finds", it talks about how many athletes are taking protein supplements or other boosters to help them.  Professor Frechette from the University of Montreal, did a study on athletes who use these supplements.  He gave 42 athletes a questionair where they had tosay whether or notthey took these supplements and they alsohad to keep a log of their eating habits.  nine out of ten athletes admitted to taking supplements on a daily basis. Frechette told them how even though they are suppose to be putting all ingredients on the back of the bottle, there are certain ingredients that they don't tell you about.  The athletes may be taking prohibited substances and not even know it! Also taking these may give athletes a higher level of sodium, vitamin A, iron, etc. that is not normal.  This would cause many side effects!

First Home Game of the Season

Today is our first game of the season and its against Sunrise Mountain.  I'm suuuper excited to play  but also nervous at the same time.  I've had trouble with  my bat at the tournament, but have been working really hard in practice to fix it.  I just need to get it on the ground!  For our first game we decided to dress up and look really nice at school.  The problem with this is it's FREEZING COLD!!  I definitely think I got hypothermia as soon as I stepped outside.  Not only is it cold but its also really windy!  Hopefully this changes by game time!  If not, then hopefully the wind works in our favor!!

How often do you exercise for an hour?

Everyday after school I have a 2 and a half hour practice.  We exercise a lot in this two hours.  Most of our exercise comes from running and agilities, but after practice we either do medicine balls, or kettle bells, or both.  Our team exercises a lot!
