surfing the web

           For the past few weeks i have been doing my research project on something called the Srait of Hormuz.  THe Strait of Hormuz is a water passage way about 35 miles wide and is so valuable to the world you would be extremely surprised.  Lots of concerns have been going on with it right now making America and Iran not get along so well.  I have been looking at numerous websites finding information and its been really interesting to learn about.            

           Since we have had the week to work in the writing lab for out paper i have gotten a lot of work done with it.  I finished my outline and my draft is complete.  It is a really good draft too!  I am very proud of what i have accomplished and i can't wait to hear feedback from my classmates on what they think about it too.

U-high ~> U-Crigh

            Yesterday was one of the biggest soccer games Episcopal has had to play.  The girls Varsity soccer team played uhigh for the second time and it was a very intense game.  The fans were amazing and a lot of people came out to support!  People made signs that were really funny and had whistle that eventually got taken away because they were too "distracting". The final score was 3-3 meaning we had to go into over time.  With no one scoring in over time or double over time we had to go into triple over time.  Triple over time is where each team kicks 5 penalty kicks and who ever scores more is the winner.  It was really nerve-racking but ehs got 2 more points than uhs making us the district champions!  It was a really fun game to watch.

          After varsity played was the jv game.  The jv team is a lot more layed back and we aren't as intense at all but its still really fun to play.  Jv won our game against uhigh 1-0 and it was our second time beating them! So this weekend the jv and varisty teams both beat Uhigh!

Pumpin up the party

      This weekend has been fun and one that will not be forgotten.  On friday there was a basketball game at school, which I'm not the biggest basketball fan, but it was fun.  Being with friends and cheering in the stands for the players is awesome.  Somethings that i thought was really funny was that some one brought to the game huge cut out heads of some of the senior players!  They were funny pictures but i am not to sure i would want my head on a huge poster being waved everywhere.  After the game was an after dance in the greer center which was fun.  There were not many people there so there was lots of room to move around but i personally think that you need a lot of people at a dance to make it fun so i wish there could of been more people!

      Saturday i got to go to the Melting Pot with some friends which is one of my favorite restaurants in Baton Rouge.  Some people think that its weird to cook your own food in the little pots but i just think that is amazing!  There are 3 courses, first is the cheese course where you dip bread in the cheese, then the dinner course where you get meats, and the dessert where its strawberries, bananas, and brownies and you can dip it in chocolate! Now that just sounds amazing! I love the melting pot and you should definitely go if you haven't been before.

Reading week #2

             As you may remember that last week my outside reading choice was The Revenge of the Wannabes.  This book is still good and I am about half way through with it now.  In the story its all about who wants to be the alpha.  The girls continuously fight each other to be as the book calls it, the "leader."  The girls spend most of there time in hidden tears and are holding back there true emotions with each other.  Its a good book, but some of the things these girls fight about is a bit redicoulous and does not seem worth it.   

           The rest of my time with week was spent reading for other classes.  I had to read World History sections, Science sections, and some Norton pages which took up a lot of reading time as well.  To be honest World History and science readings are the most boring things i could possibly read so next week i am hoping that i can just stick with my outside reading book.  

Stilettos

For outside reading this week I split the time between two books and Norton reading assignments, the books were More to Life Than Mr. Right and Revenge of the Wannabes.  The story Stilettos is a short story in the book More to Life Than Mr.  Right.  It is about a manager of a shoe story who is extremely rude and inconsiderate of others.  She hires a girl Nicki because she is pretty because she believes pretty people sell better.  Later on in the story she sees people standing in front of her store so she calls the officer over to make them move.  THe people area appalled and say that next time there won't be police there to save her, which is foreshadowing what happens in the end of the story.  Later on a few days later when they are about to leave for the day two men enter the store and attempt to rob her but Lynette(the manager) hits them in the head with shoes and runs out the store screaming for help.  It is a really good story and i recommend you read it because it shows a good example of karma.

Revenge of the Wannabes is the 3rd book in the clique series.  I read the clique series when i was younger and i decided to pick back up on it again.  So far in the book its just about how 5 girls all have drama and lots happen to them and they are all "friends" but they all talk behind each others backs.

Jersey Shore!

                Jersey Shore is one of my favorite shows along with Pretty Little Liars and Awkward.  Jersey Shore is a reality show that started its first season on December 3, 2009.  It is currently on season 5 now and still comes on tv every Thursday with new fun episodes to watch.  Season one was filmed in Seaside Heights, season two was filmed in Miami, season three was filmed back in Seaside Heights, season four was filmed in Italy, while the currently running season is back in there "home" Seaside Heights.  The original cast of Jersey Shore is Michael Sorrentino "the situation", Vinny Guadagnino "Vinny", Paul Delvecchio "Pauly-D", Nicole Polizzi "Snooki", Ronnie Margo "Ronnie", Smantha Giancola "Sammi", Jenni Farley "JWOWW", and Angelina Pivarnick "Angelina".  Angelina was not liked as much by the other cast and finally when she had enough she left for good in season 2.  The roommates were overjoyed that she left, and they got a new roommate in season 3, her name was Deena.  Deena and Snooki make the perfect of friends because they both like to party and they refer to themselves as "the meatballs."

                Watching Jersey Shore is really fun and it is a good show.  I recommend that you watch it because its really funny.  You can expect that every episode will have drama and keep you entertained.  In the latest episode that aired Vinny decided he was having too much anxiety and thought it was best to leave the shore and go home.  We have yet to see the roommates reactions, it will be revealed this Thursday.  There is a lot more to come in the next episodes so you should watch them.

Finger Nail Polish

Finger nail polish can explain a person just by looking at them.  You can get so creative when using finger nail polish, and its fun! You can use any colors or make any pattern.  Sometimes when you go overboard with to many colors it gets kind of tacky.  My personal favorite is sparkly nail polish.  I have white sparkles on my nails now from new years, and because I like it!

 If you want to find different designs you can just look up things on the internet and you have an unlimited amount.  Also, a lot of famous people have finger nail polish lines and they are pretty colors that show off ways that they like to express themselves too.  The four hottest colors for 2011/2012 winter is glittery metalic, Greige/Mushroom/Taupe, super dark, and icy blues.  If you want to look at cool patterns then I recomend you look on pinterst and they have cool glow in the dark colors and tie-dye.
