Post #10

So, this is my last post but I really want to write about how I feel about blogging. In the end I kind of like to blog. It is a lot of writing but it good to practice to write. I think this can help in the future. This has defiantly helped me in the world of computers. I just worry if someone is reading this and that they might think of it. Or how I might be graded on for it. Anyway's I'm glad its over with.

So, when it came to starting to blog, I really didn't want to. I thought why do we have to write 7 to 10 paragraphs if no body else is going to read it but you. I also, thought threw this entire process what am I supposed to write about. There is only so many things that I can write 7 paragraphs about and how am I supposed to keep the readers (if there are any) interested. But then As I wrote I felt like if I really liked that topic then i can keep writing and writing with no worry of running out of things to write down. 7 paragraphs don't scare me any more because now I know I can write that many in so many weeks. In the end I really don't mind blogging as much.

So with the length being 7 to 10 paragraphs I didn't really like it but it can help you in further life. Like lets say that my boss want me to write a speech for him/her to say and it has to take up a certain amount of time. I would be able to do that and not be late on other things needed to be turned in because I can write fast and with quality because of blogging. I can also, help in case of school work. I wont have to do all of the complaining when my teacher says we need to write a essay. Blogging will really help me in the future.

This has also, helped me on the computer sense I'm not that good when it comes to computers. Let me just say that when I was a little kid in Elementary I was horrible with using computers. I would always freak out if my computer was loading as fast as the other person beside me. This experience has also, helped me with typing fast from when I first came into this class. So, you could say that I have furthered in my electronic life. Can't wait for what comes next in the computer world.

The one thing that I worry about is what if people read it, are they going to like it. I always hate to have any bad review on anything I do. I would love it if people said that I did good. Or that they didn't loose interest in it. I'm not entirely sure if that would happen because some of these I couldn't keep stay interested in enough to type up. So, that's when I hope that nobody reads it and I'm safe from people criticizing it.

I'm really afraid on what I'm going to be graded for all of my blogs. I know they are at least good enough to not get a 6 or 5 at least I think. I did put my heart in these so I think you can enjoy some of these. All i know is that anything I get for my grade will be what my writing deserves. I hope that I also, followed all the rules that you gave to me. I cant wait to see what I'm graded for all 10 of my blogs.

Blogging has really helped me in my future. It has also, helped me to further my experience with computers. I now know why I had to write so many paragraphs, it was so I could tell you all of the details. I really hope that I will be able to have a good grade for all of these blogs. Now I really like to blog to be honest. I helps me to write anything I want. I can't believe this is my last blog.Bye!

So sense I'm a girl I bet you don't expect me to like sports or things that are to do with any type of vehicle, well that's wrong. I love to play basketball and watch it. I also, like to watch races, most of the time its dirt races. I also, like to watch volleyball but I'm the best at it my self. Motorcycles are really cool, with the looks and all. Then I like the things that can be solid at my dad's work, I think there call a 4-Wheeler or something like that. But I'm not the girly type of girl everyone may think I am.

I like to play basketball and watch it for many reasons. I like to play because it makes me feel active. I like to steal the ball from the other team and have them get frustrated, it makes my day some times. I like to watch basketball because you can always get into the game. When ever I also, watch a game I like to see what they did wrong so I can fix it my  self when I play. I love to watch the college games because s they make the shots from half court and always make it no matter what. Basketball is fun in general to play with some friends or watch with friends, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. 

I like to watch race cars race because its cool expectantly when you go to a dirt track. Even thought you may need to cover your ears when the cars go running by you, but it can make you feel alive. I like to see it when my Aunt also, sings the anthem and everyone clams because you know she worked hard to make just perfect. I also, like going to the races because when I go with my grandpa we bet on who will be first, second, or third. Most of the time my cars I choose always break down close to the end. Its still a great time eating American food and having a good time with your family.

Volleyball is great to watch just don't put me in a league. I like to watch it because there is no flaws in what they do. The ball never drops to the floor until a good spike comes there way. I did play volleyball this year. I wasn't the best by a really long shot. By the beginning of the season I couldn't even pass to a person 5 feet away. I can't wait to see how the high school girls do next season.  

I like motorcycles that go on the road and the ones that ride on dirt. I like to see the motor cycles that live on the road because they can have the coolest looks in the world. Like my dads whose is red and looks pretty slick. I love to ride on dirt bikes. There freeing when you moving really fast and jump in the air. The one good thing about ride dirt bikes is we don't have to pay for them. We don't have to own one because my dad's work has a BBQ every year with dirt bikes at the wait. I love these rides because there super fast and look really cool. 

4- wheeler's are cool because you can ride them off of the road on trails in the mountains. I got to ride on these with my grandpa in his back yard. I like that you can have two people ride it at the same time. They don't go really fast but I think its faster than hiking. When there is a 4 wheel drive most of the time I like to drive with the 4-wheeler's so I don't feel like I'm going to fall off the road when its really steep. I would love to get one of these for when we go up to the mountains to visit family.

 So, now you know a side that you probably don't know I had. I like to play and watch basketball. Watching races with my family is nice. Volleyball is cool to watch it, but I fail at it dramatically. Motorcycles are really fun when ever I can ride them, but there looks are always cool. I also, don't mind getting out doorish with 4 wheeler's. Can't wait till I can do one of theses activities.

The Beach!

 One of the things that I favor is the beach. Of course I've only ever see the beach once when I went to the Florida. I love to ride with the waves on the boogey boards or just sit on the beach with a umbrella over my head. Eating with the sight of the beach can brighten your day!  Plus getting tan in the sun isn't a bad way to come back to Colorado. Have you been to the beach?

So, one big thing that I love when I went to the beach was that I could call my self a "beach bum" when sitting under a umbrella. I experienced this when I went to the beach for my second time. It was beautiful because you could drive up to the beach rent some long chairs and a umbrella. We had packed lunch in a cooler, and brought the towels from our last time at the beach. I was nice the it on the beach with the sound of the beaches waves and jelly fish washing on the shore. Then, you could get tan with the suns rays. This is what I want to do when I go back to Florida in the summer.

There's some really fun things that you can do when you go to the beach. You can boogey board, and ride the waves all the way to the shore. It does take some work to trust foam to hold you up but when you get the hang of it, its really cool. You just have to watch out that the waves don't crash over you and take your sunglasses. I also, liked to jump with the waves which doesn't sound as fun as when you try it. When the wave comes you jump up to catch the wave and then you move with it. I think it takes a lot of core work if your trying to stand up when the waves are crashing. All I can say is go with the flow when you having fun in the ocean or it's a little hard to work against the waves.

I only got one meal in front of the beach but it was unforgettable. We went to a place that wouldn't have been expected to be as good as so, but when your sitting on a roof deck looking at the beach it's always good. We had alligator tail when waiting for the main course. It was chewy, a bit salty, but in all pretty good. After, we ate a filling meal we sat for a little until we saw this bird with long curled nails that landed on the railing. I guess he was a normal customer seeing that they had named him. But the view was the best thing to be seen beach when you looked at the horizon it became really that this wasn't another lake in Colorado but this was the Atlantic Ocean. This was the perfect day because I love food and I now love the ocean and beach.

Tanning I laugh at that because I was at the beach a lot when I went to Florida for a week but I didn't show one tan line when I came back to Colorado. This was said to say because a weekend ago I got tan painting the house. No matter the weather was amazing there because it was hot but the humidity helped the heat. I laughed when it was 60 and nice, everyone from Florida thought it was cold so they were all wearing jackets and pants. When I was there wasn't ever a rainy day or one with cloud that covered the sun. I also, loved the weather because I was wearing shorts everyday with tank tops and for pj's were shorts. Don't forget the sunglasses and sunscreen because the sun shines bright over there.

The animals at the beach were something that you can't see in Colorado. On my second visit to the beach I got to see the jelly fish  wash up on the shore. They were a pinkish clear and there tentacles were hard to see under there large body's. The one thing I was afraid to happen was to get stung by a jelly fish, which didn't happen if you were wondering. The other animal I saw at the beach was the baby and adult seagulls. They were hunting for snails and claims on the beach. They would run down when the tide went down and when the tide would come up they would run up too not get wet. I loved to see animals that weren't common or even existing in Colorado.

Do you see why I admire the beach and Florida? Its such a beautiful place to be because its so, peaceful just sitting on the beach. I love sitting beside the beach and eating either at the beach or from a picnic. Even if I didn't tan I would like to next time I go there. I also, liked to the animals that I don't see on a regular day bases. I can't wait to see the great beach when I go and visit Florida during the Summer.

I love my sweets! I love to make and eat them. One of my favorite sweets would have to be cotton candy. I also, like frozen yogurt with topping over flowing. Watermelon my not be what you thought of when thinking sweets but it does have natural sugar. I love me some dark chocolate know that I think of it, even though it may not be as sweet as much of a bitter taste. I think it would be fun to tell you a little history and why I like these sweets so much.

 Let's start off with cotton candy the sugariest thing there is. As far as I know cotton candy is really made out of all sugar. In 1899 4 men were able to make a mechanical cotton candy maker that then became a big hit in 1900. Before this machine was made people would have to warm the sugar to caramelize it and then with a fork start to make the string type substances.  I really like this sweet because it melts in your mouth from the time it touches it. Plus I feel like I can get and candy high off of it with all the sugar that I put in my body from eating it. I really like this sweet because it can give extra energy and its so cool when it melts in you mouth after being your mouth for 2 seconds.

When its a hot day the best thing to do is get a cup of frozen yogurt! I love when you go to a store to get it there are about 10 different flavors of yogurt. That you can put any toppings on it like chocolate or gummy bears. A little history about frozen yogurt is that the start of frozen yogurt was from Asia. Then when Marco Polo went to Asia he found out what the empire was eating and brought it back to Europe. Who then brought it to America who spiced it up with different flavors and things put with it. I love this frozen sweet because it can cool you down on a hot day.

This may come with a surprise when you think of sweets you really don't think of watermelon. I favor this because it doesn't damage you teeth as much with the sugars because there natural. I like to eat it in the summer when there in season and it can cool you down when the heat tries getting in your house. Did you know The oldest harvest record for watermelon is 5,000 years ago in Egypt. The watermelon is also made up of alot of water, exactly 92% of water. These are great with all of there juices.

I love me some dark chocolate. Its great any time and any were. I can have it on ice cream or melt it for fruits. I don't care if its a little bitter because I don't like super sweet things. This was a Native American drink that was drank in the B.C. Later the Spanish found it, they were impressed so, they brought it back to Spain. This was there drink for 100 years before the rest of the world found out the great taste of the drink. Not until 1689 were there other chocolate mad by adding milk to the drink. Just thinking about it makes me crave for some dark chocolate know.

 So some of these may not be what you expected but I love every one of these. With cotton candy I can get a sugar high with out a candy hang over. Frozen yogurt because it can cool me down when its a melting hot day. Or some watermelon that is sugary but still is healthy being that its mostly made up of water. Then i love dark chocolate and its got some cool history about it. I hope you enjoy some of the same things that I do. Talk to you later!

My Spring Break
 I love spring because it is the start of new life and it just feels fresh when you go out side. But that wasn't the case for this years spring break, it was hot and the clouds seem to have run away. With this my family had a couple of things to be done with the out doors. When my parent were a work I slept in, till the sun was directly above our house. When Saturday came and the week was almost over I got to enjoy the simply things in life. I had a great time for Easter when I got to hang out with a friend.

With heat blaring down on me and my family we worked on to paint our house with a bright blue that would lighten any ones day. Early morning my sister and I had been woken up to start. My parents washed the house as some paint and dirt slide like a slug off our house. We had suddenly figured out that the house must dry before painting so the paints would come off. After a hour or two the suns rays warmed and dried the house. We painted for 6 hours only to finish the first coat of paint for the front and started on the back of the house. Sunday threw Monday we worked on our house to only run out of paint.

 When my parent went to work during the day I took advantage of the free time with out a parent nagging on me. I slept in till 12 everyday saying up the earlier day till 1 normally. After waking I greeted my mouth with a yummy bagel which was covered in a thick layer of cream cheese. After so, doing this I would turn on the TV and watch missed TV shows or movies that my mom had yet picked. I also, re-watched a entire first half of a season before it came back on TV a couple of days later. I liked those 3 days in which I could relax and enjoy not waking up at 5:30 in the morning.

When it hit Saturday and the break was about to end, we visited a couple of family members and just enjoyed the simple things in life. I visited my grandma and grandpa, we visited for a couple of hours and got lunch. As, my mom and grandma talked about there busy week me and my sister were stuck on these really introit designed color book that we had kept over many years. I love to see my grandma and grandpa because there a cute duo there not like any romantics but there suborn with each other. I love seeing family when ever possible.

Easter was a fun day because I was able to hang out with my friends for a little bit, out side of school grounds. After church I met up with Kiera and we headed out to a relative in Todd Creek. I beautiful out there with everything being spaced out so, we took a walk on one of the many paths. As, we were talking we found a hole which we thought was a prairie dog hole until something jumped up at Kiera's leg. I we later found out with further investigation was a bully frog. As, we headed back to the house we played with the 3 German Shepard's and 5 baby chicks. As, the day furthered we ate a subway followed by a big lunch/dinner timed eating. After, that we sat in the back of a truck bed and got our "tan on" until it was time to leave. One banana peal was lost and 2 sleepy siblings.

This may not have been a very eventful Spring Break but I don't mind as much as who I spend time with or what I spend time doing. I love the time with my family because I get to know more about them and what happens in there daily life. Sleeping in is a great thing and I'm glad I got to for a couple of days. I will always keep my grandparents close to me and cherish what every I may be doing with them. Its always great to hang out with a friend with out the fact of a school crawling up our backs. The one thing I can't wait for is when its summer break and I don't have to go to school for another 3 months.

Africa

 A cool place to travel to would be Africa. The culture has amazed me. With there government and how it works with each country were there is democracy and then 3 countries away they could still have a monarchy. I also, love to see how there so many different types of living styles from city to farm. I also, love there land and the animals that live there. The people can also, amaze me with what they have gone threw from slavery and daily life. I want to tell you just a little about Africa that I know and show you how cool it can be.

I can start to tell you about government, and so far what I have understood. That there are more than one country in Africa it's self. That they do work together but they do have different works of government. In the way that there could be a monarchy type deal were there is one sole leader and the people give total trust to that monarch. Then a couple countries over there could be more a democracy were people have more choice in what they want, like a leader or the way they want to spend tax dollars. Then each country has to work together if there's a natural disaster to that they can rebuild and help the more poor country's. That's pretty much what my understanding of  Africa's government's consist of.

   I think the way the country looks from the city, farm's and the safari are a cool part of what makes me want to travel there. The way you can change from a city with paved roads to the country that has dirt roads and no electricity. I love the city because then I know that I'm not disconnected to the whole world and that there will at least be one store with water and food. I love the farming areas because you see what most people live in and what daily lives are. I love the safari because it has all of the animals and it looks free and untouched by humans. If I ever visit Africa I want to see ever aspect of it, to see the true Africa.

 The safari is one of the most amazing places I could ever see, with the animals and the land they live and graze on. I love the lion, it shows power and how strong they can be and what they will do to protect there family. I love hippo's there really cool when there in the water and they poke there eyes out of the water. The safari I think would be cool to see because its untouched by the human race. The animal's are also, amazing because they are in a real habitat that hasn't been touched or tampered with by humans. It would be cool to see the part of Africa that is really natural, the safari.

The culture of the people I think is cool. They go threw a lot every day. With some people that have to walk 1 to 2 miles every day just to get water for each day.  I think that's real determination to what American's have, with just turning on a foist. It's really cool with the stuff that they can make, to vases and tribal jewelry. If I look at anything that I own there's really nothing that is made in America. Africa really shows pride with what they make ad I think that's why I would want to visit.

 With everything that I have told you don't you think it would be cool to travel to Africa. I would love to see the food and the people who make Africa what I love. I would be really cool to also, see the safari. Everything that makes up Africa has intrigued me to maybe take a trip there one day.

Cool Future Jobs:

 There are many different things I would like to do in my life, especially in careers and jobs. I think it would be really cool to have my own food truck but just for baked goods. Then, I have always thought of being a director for films and movies. Wouldn't it also be cool to be a photographer and go around the world to take pictures. Also, me and a friend wanted to go into business to make our own interior designers. These are cool to me because they would work with me and my personality.

 Opening my own bakery food truck would be so, cool because I could go to city and just sell baked goods. I think it would be cool to tour America or just Colorado and to just bake. I would probably bake breads, cupcakes, funnel cake, and donuts . I would buy a used truck that I can fix up and put things for baking. It would have a oven or two, fryer, a doughnut maker, and a fridge. I would sell in early morning to get the business people and the early birds. But I think that I will stop at 3 to 4 in the afternoon. My envision of what it would look like out side is like something that is cute with like a chalk board that I can have a menu written on, and I would want to have a cute name that's on the side of the truck. But this is only one of the cool jobs I would want to do.

 Then, what I think is kind of a crazy dream is to become a movie director. It would be cool to tell or show a story with motion pictures. Plus it would be cool have that over all power with what characters look like. Were we shoot any seen. Also, what the lines are and how to help out the actors in there acting. The stressful thing that I'm thinking of is that I will have a dead line. Also, that I'm going to have to deal with money and making sure that its good so, I would be able to do more in the business. I would love to make a life out of this and be a movie director.

 Moving around to cool places and being a photographer is another thing I would want to be. I could go from the Rocky Mountains to Venice, Italy. It would be cool to be a photographers because its not so much a in office type of job. Your out places taking pictures of anything that can catch your at that instant. You get to travel for a job and not just go to meetings and all that. The down side of being a photographer is that you have to know what the buyers are going to like at this point in time. If you don't have someone buying your pictures then you don't have money to continue in the line of work your involved in. I know I would go to the most interesting parts of cities and take pictures of the things no one really thinks about or bothers to see.

Then, being a interior designer would be really fun to do with my friend because we think alike, it would also, be cool to paint when we come in and clean up your house or apartment. It would be fun to do because you don't have to buy the new furniture but you can buy the older stuff and have a little work done with it to make it look new. Say you have the back of the truck pieces were if on a old truck will say Ford or Chevy on the back. You can us that to make a cute bench with a couple of pieces of metal. I also, love to paint things but only if its white walls and not a hard color to paint over. I hate doing layers of paint to try and cover the paint. It would also, be cool to spend someone else money to go and shop. Just think of shopping every day and really not paying a cent or two.

I hope I figure out what I want to do before I graduate from high school. So, whether wanting to be a baker in a food truck. To wanting to make films and become a movie director. Or even being a photographer and snapping everything from a duck to the 7 world wonders. Plus I could become a interior designer instead, spending other peoples money for a job. What ever it is I hope that I can be good at it and succeed in what ever i choose to do.
