heyyyyy !!! It's blog time :] !! how was everyones weekend?! My weekend was pretty laid back, i didnt really do much. My mom went to Las Vegas this weekend, so i spent time at my aunts house. She is so creative... food wise ! Last night she made Shrimp with veggies on top of mash potatoes :]. Also i helped her make some lollipops. Hand made and in the shape of bumblebee's very fun. I also got my nails done yesterday there purple ... one of my fav colors. I wil be sure to show u guys tommarrow. What are we doing tommarrow?! Are we going to finsh the movie?! I love the great debators... its really interseting how everything we've done so far are relating in some way. I much rather us learning poetry that debates and all that stuff. hopefully thats what we learn next :]!! I think the best debates are when u can actually relate to the topic, because you put your all and ur determined to win. Depending on what the debate is over they can get pretty boring :/. But i have to go help finish food for the dinner party my aunt is having, so ill see you guys tmrw !! :]] see yyaa....

( nov. 14th ) time for the blog!!
hey !! :] Soo what did you guys think about the movie?? the 12 Angry men?!... i kinda liked it ! :] except that i always knew what was coming next. Also the vision that i had for each juror was completely different. I think its so funny how that works, When reading a book you create you own image of the people and settings. Then when you watch the movie its something totally different. I wonder where teachers find things like these. Friday i missed class though, i went to the fairfield career center visit. I LOVED IT !!! After seeing how they train there students for cosemotology i really am considering it. They talked to us about how the days would go, we would study and do academic work, then learn different head or nail diseases and infections. But what sucks about it is that junior year you do alot of book work, Senior year is when you get to work more on heads and actually hav customers, and get paid. :] I also found out that after this program i can get into a four year college with no problems. Which then puts me ahead so i wont hav to wait 'til after college to get my L's. :] i really think that it will be a great oppurtunitie... but ill see u guys tmrw 6th period !!
