No School Yesterday!!

Yesterday we didn't have school! It was one of those days where the teachers like have to do something, and we end up getting a free day out of it! I don't care why we're out of school as long as we just don't have to go. Well yesterday I had an orthodontist appointment at 2 pm, so I had to go to that. After I did that, I got to pick up my dress for formal!!!!! I was so happy to be able to see it again, because I hadn't seen it in like 3 weeks (due to alterations). Finally, when I got home I had to do my home work. When I finished my homework it was time for dinner, and when I was all done I went to bed! Overall, it was a pretty good day!  Wish we had more of those days!!!!!

Help The Planet!

I'm trying to help the planet by recycling! If it's recyclable, I will recycle it! I also reuse bows from presents if they don't get torn! I reuse gift bags that I get for birthdays and such. If I have a project in school I make it out of something I already have at home. That way I don't have to go out and by something else just for a school project! I believe that I am making at least a slight difference from what I am doing, and I'm proud that I can help our planet in any way!

It's Sydney's Birthday!

It is Sydney's, my computer partner, birthday today! She is turning 14!!!  It is also her mom's birthday today!!!! Isn't that crazy?! I had always wished my birthday would be on the same day as one of my parent's birthday because that would be soooooooooooo cool! I don't know how old her mom is today, but I don't think I'm going to ask. Haha! That would be a little bit rude! Her mom is very nice though, and I don't think she'd mind! Sydney is having a bonfire for her birthday this weekend and I'm totally pumped for that! Well, I guess I'd just like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!!

My Kind Of Reward!

The type of reward that really motivates me and gets me to do things are the rewards that help you out later in life. The one reward that I absolutely strived to have was the 2 bonus A.R. points for having no HOT sheets. I never get HOT sheets anyway but that made me try even harder on making sure I had every single piece of homework done. That was my perfect school reward, but my home reward would be like a shopping trip or something like that. I can always use more clothes for sure! I'd take ice cream though too, I mean that's always a plus.

Easter Weekend!!!

Today is the last day of school for this week, and then it is Easter Break! I'm going to dye eggs and probably do an egg hunt with all my little cousins. I love watching how excited the get when they find an egg! I will have a BIG Easter dinner, like every year. After, the break is over we come back on Tuesday. This year is flying by! We only have one week left of school after today before we start MAP testing! It's crazy! I'm scared about testing for MAP, but the good part is this will be the last year I have to. Wish me luck on my testing!

Staying Healthy!

It is very important to stay healthy, and there are many ways to do that! You should exercise everyday for at least 10 minutes! Stay AWAY from junk food! It will not do anything good for you. Instead, you can eat fruits and vegetables. There are so many different fruits and vegetables that there has got to be at least one you like! If you decide to eat junk food, eat it in moderation. It is not good to overload your body with too much sugar! If you are currently not doing one of these things, try it! I guarantee you'll feel better!
