My Final Thoughts.



People say that your senior year of high-school is supposed to be one of the best years of your life.. I call bullcrap. My senior year has been one of the worst years in my entire life.
So much has happened and so much has gone wrong this year and I just want to forget it as soon as possible.

First of all, I have had to take care of my mom. She's used to be paralyzed from the waist down and has had over 30 back surgeries to get to where she is today. She still has a lot of pain and has to go to the doctor and get procedures done that I have to drive her to and from because she's not allowed to drive after those. I don't mind doing this though, but on top of all the other crap, it wears me down.

Secondly, I have gotten sick way more often than I ever have in my entire life.

Thirdly, my dad hasn't spoken to me in over six months. I don't know what I did or why he isn't talking or writing me back, but, whatever.

Fourthly, my mom's husband is the devil reincarnated.

Fifthly, three people in my family have died since December. First to go was my grandfather. He did of old age in December and I was extremely sad to see him go. Then my cousin's baby (basically my niece) died. I adored her/ fell in love with that baby from the moment I saw her. Then next to go was my grandma. She was one of my favorite people in the world. I remember all the things she would do for me when I was little and all the things she did for me up until the day she died. I will never forget any of them.

It also hasn't helped anything that I have insomnia.

I can't wait to get out of high school and never look back.

Promt: 10 Reasons why I won't share a room with my best friend.

1. She's annoying after awhile. I like my room to be quiet and I don't like to be bothered while I am in my room. So, if I shared a room with my best friend, she would drive me crazy.
2. She doesn't clean. If we were to, I don't know, take turns cleaning the room everyday or something, she wouldn't do what she was supposed to and I would end up having to do it all.
3. She's the messiest person I have ever met in my life. 'Nuff said.
4. I like my personal space and for my things not to be touched/moved without me knowing about it. She would do it on purpose too, because she knows that it bugs me. Shoot, she's done it before, I have a book-shelf in my room and all of my books are organized by author, and she will just grab two and put them back in the wrong spots even though she knows they don't go there.
5. She leaves trash everywhere.
6. I do not want a smelly room.
7. I like being able to see my floor. Her room has no floor. It's a foot of clothes you have to walk on. ALL over the room.
8. She doesn't listen. To anything anyone says.
9. We have completely different taste in music. Her music makes me want to shoot the radio.
10. She gets mad easily. If I were to ask her to clean up her crap or something and then she didn't forever and I asked again in a not-as-nice way she would get soooo mad.

Transcendentalism Project.


This is my transcendentalist video. I took some of the pictures at the beach, some at park near my house, some just randomly on the side of the road, through my car's window, at a lake, and even some in Palmetto.
The pictures of me when I was little were taken in my back-yard in Kansas.

That's about it.

Transcendentalist Quote.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson


I chose this quote because people shouldn't have regrets about things. They shouldn't let things in their past bug them. People should move on and continue being themselves.

This quote means for people to not have regrets. They should not let their past mistakes (or the mistakes they made that day) get them down. Tomorrow is a new day, so try and make it better than the day before.

I believe that people should try and do this because if people are always thinking of all the things that they regret doing, they won't move on and make things better for themselves. People should always try and be better then they were the day before so that they will always be doing good and they won't regret what they've done before.

What should we do for comments??

Hmm... I think we could get more comments if we ourselves posted comments on even more peoples blogs. That way more people would know about our class and whatever it is that we're blogging about.
It could also probably help out if we blogged about some really cool stuff rather than stuff that is not really fun to rea about. (Well, it's only actually interesting if you're reading Rebecca's or Cassie's blog.)

Okay, I lied. I have no idea how to get people to comment our blogs.

My Dreamboard

Ok, so, that's my dreamboard.
I chose the key to success and the road to success picture because I want to be successful in whatever I choose to do throughout the rest of my life.
The suitcase, the sunset beach, and a couple of the other pictures are there because I want to travel. I want to see a bunch of places and experiance them first hand rather than looking at a bunch of pictures other people have taken.
I chose the picture of the skydiver with the parachute on because someday i'd like to have the mega guts it takes to sky-dive and then actually do it.
I chose the music thingy because I like music and will always like it...
The pictures of the cities are there because I would like to live in a city when I grow up and move away. I want to live in Chicago actually.
I put the picture of all the smiling people in there because I want to be happy while doing whatever it is that I do for the rest of my life. I don't care if none of these other things happen, just being happy throughout the rest of my life is good enough for me.
The family picture is there because I would like to get married someday and maybe (big maybe right there) have kids.

What I wrote...

This is what I wrote about while we were outside in Mrs. Ladd's class.
It's not exactly exciting, but here goes..

- The smell of the fresh cut grass reminds me of when I little. We lived in the absolute middle of nowhere in Kansas, and everytime my mom would cut the grass I would beg and plead for her to let me ride too. It got to where she could never mow the grass without me tagging along so she got a trailer/wagon type thing for me to ride in while she mowed.
- The sky is beautiful and the sound of the bird chirping and whistling just adds to peaceful-ness of being outside.
- A lot of airplanes have flown by today. It's weird because I never knew that any flew by at all because you can't hear them in class.
- The airplanes also make me remember one time when my brother and I were in the park one time when we were 3 and 4 and we saw a plane go by so we started running around pretending to be planes for the rest of the day.
- I miss the innocence and ignorance of childhood. The way we didn't care and didn't know that anything ever went wrong. When everything was good.
- I like seeing how (almost) everyone is out here quiet and focused. I can tell that all of us have matured a lot since freshman year because if you had put us in the same situation then, i'm sure we'd have all just been talking and cutting up instead.
- There's a crunchy looking leaf laying on the ground near me... I've always liked stepping on crunchy leaves. It gives me a strange sense of satisfaction. =]
- When Madison and Dillon finally stopped talking, it got too quiet. I don't like absolute silence. It makes me get stuck in my own brain and I don't like it. I prefer being distracted...

That wasn't all of what I wrote, but I took out all the extremely boring stuff.
