Catholic Homecoming

This past weekend i went to Catholic's Homecoming. I went with Chase Carrico. I have a lot of friends that go to Catholic, so I really wanted to go and hang out with them. Chase asked me and i was so excited. I spent the next two weeks getting my dress and figuring out the details of the night. It was on Saturday. Two of my friends came over to my house and got ready with me. At 6 o'clock we meet the guys and a few other people at English Park to take pictures. There was 10 of us total but one person wasn't there yet so just 9 showed up. All day I used optimism and declared that it will not rain, even though the clouds in the sky suggested a tornado. The clouds looked so scary that I was scared to get out of the car. The clouds were quickly approaching, so we quickly got into our places and snapped three pictures before the wind came. The wind didn't just began as a breeze and increase; it started as a huge gust that almost blew us all over. I quickly ran in my high heels to my friends car and got in. We showed up at the restaurent 45 minutes early and had to wait 45 minutes. I was having a blast so far. Everyone was so funny and nice. After our dinner we were alittle tired so we dashed to the gas station and picked up some energy drinks. When we got to the dance, we weren't allowed to have drinks, so i have to chug my energy drink and I felt like passing out afterwards. I know now never to do that again. But the energy drink did work. I have never had soo much fun in my entire life. I danced the whole night when I usually just stand the whole night. I also had a really fun date and fun friends that will dance also. I will never forget this night as I learned that dances can be fun.

College

I want to be a physical therapist. I've always wanted to be a doctor but i don't like lots of blood so because physical therapist have to become doctors now I have decided to become one. My mom is a occupational therapist so she was influenced me to aspire to become a physical therapist. The colleges I'm looking at are Unversity of Evansville, Bellarmine Unversity, and UK. My top choice is Unversity of Evansville. I want to get away from the people here in Owensboro and not many people attend UofE. Also their physical therapy program is better than the programs here in Kentucky. UE has a direct entry program which means that if you have a 26 ACT score and write a good enough essay then you have a spot reserved for you when you finish undergrad. This is amazing to me because at Bellarmine and UK you have to compete and apply along with 400+ students to a program with 40 to 50 seats. Also, UE isn't too far away from home and I know the Evansville area pretty well. Early registration is November 1 and I can't wait to apply and hopefully get accepted into UE and get into the direct entry program!!

Spring

Summer is my favorite time of the year. But spring is my second favorite. I love the end of winter. That's probably my favorite part of spring. I hate the cold weather and spring means the beginning of warm weather. The flowers start to bloom and the trees lose their bare look. Also the air is different. When spring comes you can smell everything coming back to life. I hate being outside in the winter looking at all the dead flowers, dead grass, and dead trees. The color green is perfect for spring because green is a calming color and peaceful and beautiful. Spring is pretty but I does bring the promise of summer.

Potatoes

Potatoes is like Macaroni and Cheese. It's a comfort food. You can potatoes and be full and not have to eat anything else. Everyone likes some form of potatoes. I like all kinds of potates, mashed, french fries, cooked, sweet, baked, and cheesy potatoes. My favortie type of potatoes is baked. I like Texas Roadhouse's potatoes the best. I love all the cheese and butter and sour cream that overfollows the potato. I eat some form of potatoes at least 6 times a week. Potatoes never get old. I don't know what i would do or eat if i didn't have a comfort food like potatoes.

Beowulf Movie

Just recently we finished the Beowulf movie that was created in 2007. Of course we read the book first and I will have to say that the movie is one of the biggest let down when it comes to making a movie from the book. The movie was sooo different from the poem that it shouldn't have even been called Beowulf. I wish that during the movie I could have set outside the room and done something productive with my life instead of wasting my time watching a movie that I wouldn't have liked even if we watched the movie first. I don't understand why anyone would want to buy or even watch this pathetic excuse for a movie. Also the chosen actor for Grendel's mother is about the worst choice for an actor ever. In my opinion Angeline Jolie is a horrible actor and is not pretty at all. If the director had actually read the story of Beowulf, maybe he would have made a good movie.

ACT

Today I took the ACT. I hope i never have to take it again. This was the third time I have taken the ACT and I still didn't know everything on it. It seems like the math section gets harder and harder while the other three sections get easier and easier. The english section was the first part of the test, and after that was over I thought that I would be fine with the math since I had spent hours reviewing over math problems in preparation. But I was completely wrong. Thank goodness that you are allowed to guess on the ACT otherwise I would have stared at the packet for 60 minutes. I was completely lost the whole time and felt that I needed to cry because of how hard I worked to get my score up and now the math is going to take it all down. It's very frustrating. The other two sections were a BREEZE! I hoping that my other three scores will equal out the math section so that I will get a 28 or 29 on the ACT. Overall I have concluded that I don't want to take the ACT anymore. All that studying and you are still lost.

Labor Day Weekend

On my Labor Day weekend, I spent the way time studying for the ACT and writing scholarship essays. Even though it sounds like a horrible way to spend your weekend i enjoyed it because i feel more prepared for college life. I'm taking the ACT this coming weekend, September 12th. I've been really nervous about it because I need to bump my score up a few points to get some scholarship money for college. I also looked up scholarships because college is not cheap and my mom has been badgering me for months to get to work on scholarships and i figured if i devoted my weekend to finding and applying for scholarships she would get off my back for a couple weeks. I secretly enjoyed it because i feel ahead of my classmates for finding scholarships and getting money for college. I found a book at the library that taught me how to write an essay and put an entirely new perspective on how to write an essay. This book was very informational and i enjoyed reading it. Overall, I felt I did many things this weekend and I'm proud of what i accomplished.

Tuesdays with Morrie

As I was looking for a book to help me on the ACT I noticed the title "Tuesdays with Morrie". I looked at the title again, and thought, "this sounds familar. I'm going to get it." So I picked up the book and begin reading it and i could hardly put the book down. The main character in the book has ALS and I knew someone that had ALS that died recently, so i connected with it on a personal level. The book was very inspirational. The guy that had ALS is a professor at a university and even though he knew he was going to die, he didn't look down on himself or wish people would feel sorry for him. He wanted to be around people and talk to people while he was sick so he didn't have to concentrate on the sickness. When asked what he would do if he had one day of perfect health he simply replied, "I would walk up and take a walk in the park, visit friends, and go dancing with friends." He is an amazing guy and I was really inspired by his words and I look at many things differently now. I recommend it to everyone.
