Here are some more dandelion photos...tell me what you think.

It's Monday...I hate Mondays. But there are only 4 weeks of school left...so I think I can survive 4 more Mondays.

I can't think of anything to say, because nothing happened over the weekend, so, I guess I won't write anymore.

Have a fantastic day!

New photos...that I just took like 20 minutes ago. I was lying on the ground taking these...it was pretty fun...but I got dandelion seeds all over me. There are a whole lot more photos...but these are a few. They might look the same to everyone...I don't know. Tell me what you think.

It's already the weekend! This week has actually gone by really fast...it's kind of weird, because the weeks have seemed to drag on forever lately.

There really isn't anything else to say.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hey everyone! Tell me what you think of the photos!

I'm going to post a poem that i wrote for my Enlish class...it's an imitation poem (of only structure) of "Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy. But it's only an imitation of structure. It's kind of long...but if you feel like reading it...tell me what you think of it. Here it is:

“On the Tracks of an Iron Road”

From the blanket of fog she strode
As the mechanical sentry slowed
With a screech on the tracks of an iron road.

With the sound came a wave
Of souls ready to brave
The labors of life they had begun to crave.

As the crowd passed,
To her bag she held fast
Until a man cried “All aboard!” in a sudden blast.

She lifted her eyes
To the sound of his cries
And climbed the steps leading her inside the somber sentry, knowing and wise.

Gliding down the aisle of red,
She looked around with a turn of her head
And listened for a sound, but heard only silence like the dead.

Suddenly, the sentry stirred
And with a lurch the windows blurred,
Thrusting her into her place where she was distant and unheard.

She rested against the windowpane
Then pulled from her bag a wooden frame,
Inside was the memory of the one she loved, seen last through a curtain of rain.

Finally, the sorrowful sentry came to a halt
As she reminded herself it wasn’t her fault
And from her eye silently slipped a single tear of water and salt.

She rose from her seat
Unsure on her feet
Of the grief she soon would have to meet.

Stepping onto the ground
She heard the sound,
The shout of the guns and respect for the hero on the mound.

The crowd parted like a door
And the feeling of heartache was hard to ignore
As she said her last farewell to the love who was no more.

Alright. There you are.

Have a fabulous day!

Tulip! haha...tell me which one you like the best. I love tulips...they are so spring like.

It's yet another Monday. But guess what. There are only 5 more mondays left after today until summer break! I just couted, so I'm pretty much positive. Wow. I can't wait.

I need to study for my Biology test. Yuck. Oh, well...I have to...can't let this whole year go to waste the last month of school.

Ok. So I seriously need to take some pictures. It seems like these are weeks old...probably because they are. Haha... Tell me what you think anyways!

Tonight I am going to the play...I'm pretty excited. I'm planning on taking my camera...maybe I'll take a few pictures. If I do...and any turn out, I'll post a few on here.

I guess I'm not doing anything this weekend...which kind of stinks. Oh well...it's not like I usually do anything though i guess.

Blah blah blah...I know, this is boring everyone who reads it to tears. So, I guess I'll put you out of your misery now, and say farewell.

[edit]

I went to the play last night! It was awesome. I didn't take any pictures though. But Shayna was fantastic! Haha.

Hola!

Tell me what you think of the photos...I can't think of anything to say about them. haha...

So yesterday I rode the whole bike trail. It's only 13.5 miles...but still...I rode 28 miles all together (since I had to ride about a half mile to the trail). But yeah...it was tough...just because I haven't ridden that far since last year...I thought I would never get back home. Today though...surprisingly...I'm not sore! Haha... But yeah...later today I think I'll just ride to the train (10 miles there and back). I need to get back into the habbit of doing that. I think I'll do that after I finish my homework...haha.

Okeydokey. That's all for now. I think.

I took these a few days ago...it's finally starting to get warm again!

I finished my last driving day...and now I can get my license. I think I'll wait a little while though...but still, it's pretty cool!

Tomorrow is Friday, finally. I live for the weekends I think.

So there is this spanish trip to Spain next summer...and I really want to go. They have a thing where you can try to get a scholarship, and my mom says if I do that, then I can go! I am so happy! You get to stay with a Spanish family, and we will be there for 2 weeks. Hopefully I really do get to go. It would be so incredible.

I think that's all the news for now!

So, these are photos from a concert I just got back from. (I know they are all kind of blurry...some more than others...) It was Bethany Dillon and Warren Barfield...most of you have probably never heard of them... I say that because whenever I say I like Bethany Dillon, no one knows who I'm talking about. But these pictures are of her...I'll post some of Warren next time. It was a really good concert. Not a whole lot of people showed up, and we (my dad and I) got there early, so we sat in the 4th row. (It was at the chapel at the college...but I won't name the college)

So yeah...I really like Bethany Dillon. She is an amazing singer, and she is really down to earth...haha.

Okay...It's been a while since my last update, and I'm sure lots has gone on since then, but I am tired, so I won't bore you with details on my life.

Goodnight.

School is here again. We don't have another extra day off until Labor Day...so that means lots of school...but then again, there are only 2 months left! It's so exciting.

Oh yeah...these pictures are pretty old...somewhat anyways. I took them a few weeks ago I think. I don't know if I like them a whole lot...but I kind of like the colors, or I guess the lack of color. I don't know...that doesn't really make sense. But yeah...tell me what you think!

That's all...so goodbye for now!
