Um I love Food

It’s sad to see our seniors leave but right now, I’m trying to look at the positives of the departure. Minus the fact that we juniors now own the school, kind of, I’m looking forward to all the wonderful food that we get to take part in eating. Last weekend I only went to about 8 graduation parties on Saturday, but let me tell you, I got stoked. The varieties of food were incredible.
The first party I went to was at around 1 o’clock in the afternoon. They served cake, which seemed to be a popular dessert at all the grad parties. And for the main course, was Jimmy Johns, which is a delicious sub sandwich restaurant. And if people weren’t feeling the cake, Fruitzen was also offered, which is like shaved ice and flavored ice syrup on top. Fruitzen has seemed to be a popular choice in foods, because the 5th grad party that I went to also had it, but at this one they only had 5 flavors, where as at the first party, you had a choice between ten.
The second party that we went to had a chocolate fountain, which was also a popular thing that we saw at other parties. With the fountain, you had a choice to dip fruit, such as strawberries, grapes, pineapple and apples. They also set out different cookies you could dip, as well as breads and other crunchy things. I also enjoyed the custom made M&Ms. On each one they had things like the graduate’s name, and the graduation class year. I thought it was very creative.
The third party had delicious chocolate covered strawberries, which were completely addicting, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to have those at my party next year. They also had those home made mints which I also enjoyed.
The fourth party had a taco bar, which I use to not be a Mexican eater, but now I am. So the taco bar was awesome. They also had a station to make root beer floats and hot fudge sundaes.
The rest of the parties had pretty traditional food, but I was so happy that it was all so good. I eat for pleasure, and lets just say that day was very pleasurableJ

Carless

Recently, I have found myself mourning for the comfort of my carL, because unfortunately, it has been taken to car heaven (aka the junk yard). Now, as a teenage girl whose junior year is almost done, leading into the summer before senior year, a car seems essential, and right now, I’m not really sure if buying a new one is top of the list for my mother. She expects me to get a job, but really how am I supposed to get a job if I don’t have a car? My brother will be working all summer, as well as my mom, and my dad. The only option would to take my dad’s old suburban and drive that, which has been stored at his cabin for like two years now? And it’s not a cool suburban; it’s an old, rusty, beat down green beast that’s just about as useless as male nipples. But of course, since I insisted a need a car, it’s now a possibility of being my new ride for the summer.
So what exactly happened to my car? We first discovered something was terribly wrong when I was driving home from soccer practice a couple weeks ago. I was going about 60 or 70 on the road home, and I slowed up as I approached a stop sign. It was nice out so I had my windows down. Soon enough, a truck with a guy in his mid thirty’s pulled up and rolled his window down. He was decent looking so I turned to see what he needed. He replied to me with, “Hey! Excuse me! You’re cars smokin’”
Of course being the idiot that I am, I thought he was talking about me and my car looking hot, or well “smokin”. So I said “Um...Thanks?” with a sort of cheesy smile. But then he confirmed that he was talking about the hood of my car, and that it actually had smoke coming out of it. I then majorly panicked and pulled off at the nearest street, which I then realized, was pointless because I left my phone at home. So I had to just drive my smoking hood car all the way back to my house.
When I got home, I explained to my mom that the smoke had just started and she opened the hood to take a look at what was wrong. Well long story longer, some cap busted and my water pump broke. So my engine was over heated, and basically I could’ve blown up my car.
Which brings me to where I am now, carless, and oh so lonely without one. I guess I’m fortunate enough to even of had a car, and I really don’t mean to complain. But at least the story was entertaining right.

Did You Know??

1-8 couples that are married in the last year in the U.S. met online
This number was less shocking to me when it appeared. Online dating has been the new thing these past years, and from the sounds of it, the results have been pleasing to many. My uncle actually decided to try online dating after a brutal divorce, and he did find someone to spend his time with. She was pretty cool in my eyes, but that was only because her second house was neighboring to Dennis Quaid's summer house. She was real big in the music industry, so she had money I guess. But it didn't really fall through, since my uncle was just kind of looking for a good time, and I don't mean that in a bad way, and she was lookin for someone to settle down with and spend the rest of her life with. Anyways, 1-8 marriages still seems to be a large population of online dating users.

China will soon become the number one English speaking country in the world
I really don't know where to begin with the irony in this fact. I always knew that English was well known to be used around the world, but I would've never guessed for China to be the number one speaking country in the world

We Uh..love final exams?

The one thing I dread about the end of the school year is that last final test that either makes you or breaks you. I always try to look at the positives of final exams. Usually they lead to breaks of school. This up coming break happens to be a pretty big, because it marks the end of the school year. Ah summer. But before I get there I have to take some pretty big finals, two being which I can use for college credit…if I pass. And I’m not really sure if you could say I’m prepared. Probably not the best thing to be saying when the exams are in a week.

With that, I think that a lot of pressure is put on kids to do exceedingly well on tests. And to know that if you totally bomb it, can really bring you down, whether it’s your grade, or your college credit. These factors just made it harder to concentrate on doing well. I’m not trying to think of excuses for doing bad, I’m just simply saying these are some reason that could cause stress for kids.

Oh but there's nothing better then that feeling of finishing a test. I hate when you first get it, and you flip through the questions. But then I try to remember that everything has an end to it, the good and the bad. So I just try to get through it, and then think of how good it's gonna feel when it's done. But at the same time, I know that I can't just rush through it. Uh, just thinking about test taking gives me anxiety.
