1. ‘It is today we must create the world of the future.’ Eleanor Roosevelt

I think that this means that we have to create the world and make it our own and fix our own problems.  We have to do things for ourselves, not make other people do it for uzs.

2. ‘Those who do nothing are never wrong.’ Theodore de BouvilleI think that this means that they are never wrong because they never do anything!  They just sit there and make people do things for them.

3. ‘Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail’. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think that this means that you have to do things at your own time and pace.  Also, let loose and do something else than what others are doing.

4. ‘Slow down you are going too fast’. Simon and Garfunkle

I think that this means that you have to do things at your own pace.  You have to time things just right and let it go, do things your own way.

5. ‘You see things and say ‘Why’? But I see things and say ‘Why not?’ G.B Shaw

This means that you have to look at things and say, “Hey, why can’t that happen?  Why can’t we do that??” You have to look at things as though they will change the world.

6. ‘Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land amongst the stars.’ Les Brown

I think that this means that even if you don’t make it, you can still try.

7. ‘Coming, ready or not!’ Childhood game

This means that life isn’t always easy and that it is going to throw things at you every now and then.  Most likely when you least expect it.
8. ‘Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.’ Forest Gump’s Mother

Personaly, I think that this means that you are never going to know what is going to happen to you in life, that day, year, month, etc.  You have to take a risk.

9. ‘There is no risk less way to the future, we must choose which set of risks we wish to run.’ Jay Ogilvy

I think that this means that we have to take risks, even though we don’t want to.

10. ‘Plan to be better tomorrow than today, but don’t plan to be finished’. Carol Ann Tomlinson US Educator

I think that this means that we have to better ourselves, but even when we do that, its not over.  You have to keep that up or bring it back down.  You have to better yourself.

In study skills, we are learning how to do research on the computer. Our computer teacher gave us 3 research links for our blogs.

I recommend these sites to people who need help with research!

Today started out like any normal day… well, not so normal. I woke up in a bad mood, found out that one of my friends was upset by something, was late for my Paws-4-Life meeting because my little brother forgot his lunch at home! In study hall, I was really mad because I didn’t eat lunch and was being teased. Then computer came. I was coming up from study hall and when I got to the room outside, started talking to my friend. Then, I heard our teacher yelling for us to form a straight line. I then found out that some of my classmates were hiding peoples bags and stuff. When we got inside, our teacher talked to us about apathetic and people who ARE apathetic.  He told us storises about apathetic people.  Thankfully, I didn’t see!

As many people know, Steve Irwin died September 5th, 2006.  He was stabbed through the heart by a stingray.  He was doing a dive research thing underwater when he got stung.  It is really sad and I cried when I found out.  At least he died doing what he loved, I though.  Steve Irwin was 44 years old and had a wife and 2 kids.  It was a tragedy that will probably effect the lives of many people.

In computer class, we watched this DVD called Animusic 2.  It was…. Interesting.  Two guys(Wayne Lytle and Dave Crognale) produced Animusic to show what you can do with animation and music.  You can put the two things together and produce something nice. There were 8 different musical pieces on one DVD!  Some of them were proformed by robots, some were just musical instruments.  I thought it was really good.  I was… different and not something that I would have EVER thought of doing.  For me, it is really hard to do those things.  I think that animation and music DO go together!  Well, that is if they do the animation and music together!

To get pictures, or to find out info. on animusic 1 and 2, you an go to animusic.com

Well, It all started out on a very long and boring plane ride. It was 6 A.M. in the morning and I was saying good-bye to my mom and brother for the first time. I was going to be gone from my mom for 2 months. It was the longest time I had ever been away! I was going to Virginia to see my family. I had been living on Guam for 1 year. I was very excited and scared. I was going to be on a plane for like, 26 hours!! It was very, very, VERY long!! I had a lay-over in Hawaii for an hour, a lay-over in Houston for 3 hours and 30 minutes, and then, I had to go to Baltimore. I’ll explain it all later.

Well, in Guam, I was saying good-bye to my mom and brother. Then, the flight-attendent called me to bored the plane. I was so freaked out. I was crying until the plane took off from the ground. The plane ride was like, 9 hours long. There was a lady who sat next to me because she would have had to move away from her family. I slept most of the way, but when I was awake, I played some games like Caveman and listened to music and watch T.V.

Then, I finally got to Houston and was picked up by the flight lady. Then, I went to a kids room and “watched” Pirates of the Carribean. I called my Aunt there and fell asleep. Well, my plane came early so I couldn’t sleep for long.

My next stop was Baltimore. You might be thinking, “Why are you flying to Baltimore if you are going to Virginia?” Well, it is because I was going and surprising my cousins. I was supposed to go June 27th but went June 7th. Well, the plane ride to Baltimore was very tiering. And when I was asleep, someone poured there drink into my seat!!! It made me sooo… mad!! Well, we finally got to Baltimore. I saw my aunt and she ran up and squeezed me soo… hard!! Then, my aunt, her best friend, and I pilled into the car and went home to Virginia.

When I got to my aunts house, my cousin didn’t recognize me until I said “Hi Britney!” then, she squeezed me.

The rest of my summer was pretty boring. There is nothing to talk about in it…!

Well, my plane-ride home was pretty… weird.  I sat next to some weird people…!  On my last flight, I sat next to this little kid and we talked for a while.  Then, he played my Nintendo DS.  So, I slept!!

When we got to Guam, my mom did’nt recognize me.  I was looking for her in the crowd and I thought that she forgot.  :(  Then, she came running at me, just like my aunt.  I got to sit on the baggage thingy.  In the car, I slept and had Taco Bell! Anyway, there is nothing else really.

Thank you soooo… mucho for that nice post!  I can’t find good icons but I hope this one will cover for it!! I can’t get it!  I’ll show you later!

Well, spring break is coming to an end… and I am still bored.  My whole spring break was vollentering at the animal shelter… which was fun, but I wish I could have done somthin else… Oh well.

As you all probably know, it is almost Spring Break!  Thats right!  That means more mall time, friends, and maybe, I might go to the state(or Hawaii to visit my best friend!)  I think that it would be soooooooo…. cool!  I hope that the pie day will be fun!  Oh… That is were we get to Pie Our Teachers!  Tomorrow, we get to go running on the beach!  That is for cross-country(which I am in), then we get to go to  tapioca world!  I hope it is fun because I have never been there before!  It is also… St. Patrick’s day!  Going to a religious school, it is very big!  I hope it is fun!  I have my whole spring break planned out!  So watch out people at the mall and everywhere else I go… Because Fawn’s coming!

This was made up in my head.  Well, not the spring break, pie day, or St. Patricks day, or the Cross- country thing!
