Poetry

For my outside reading i have been reading the poems in class and my free read book, SomeOne Like You.  So far we have only read 2 poems but i really like them so far!  I enjoy poetry, but i don't really like writing it.  I don't always understand it but i think ti sounds cool when you read it.  Last year when we did Shakespiere i liked it, so I've always been open to it.

Someone Like You is just getting better and better! I read about 50 pages the other day and i didn't even realize it.  This is getting to be intense and a little sad.  I seriously think everyone should read this.

LUDACRIS!

This Saturday there was a Ludacris concert at LSU.  The concert was free and it was probably the best concert i have ever been too!  The opening acts for him weren't that good but they were still fun to listen to.  The concert was from 7-11:30 but Luda didn't come out until 10ish.  They had people handing out glow sticks there so almost every single person in the crowds had a glow stick around their head or neck!  I was with a lot of Episcopal people so that made the experience just that much better!

When Ludacris finally come out everyone went crazy!  He sang a lot of his songs that you forgot he was in and it was nice to hear!  He started off singing Glamourous and i was just like wow i forgot he even sang that!  The whole experience was just so much fun and i would do it again any day!

Some One Like You

Some One Like You is the book i am reading right now!  Sunday i spent over 150 minutes reading it!  Its one of those books that you can't put down after it gets good.  It was recommend to me by Elise and Anna and i am so glad that they did!

The book so far is about these two girls and when i picture them in my head i see my friends faces, so its really weird!  I feel like i can almost relate this book to some people which makes me like the book that much more!  Its a really good read and i would recommend it to anybody!

St. Patricks Day!

St.  Patricks Day is such a fun holiday! Its just like Mardi Gras, except you wear green and its Irish!  People go all out in their green clothes and they get to go to parades!  I seriously LOVE going to parades and catching beads and being with friends!  Baton Rouge parades are the best because i feel like every time you turn around you see somebody that you know!  I also love that people get to party and the music on the floats always gets ya party goin!

After the parade some of my friends and me went to the Leblancs party which was really fun! Andrews dad cooks really good jumbalaya and that was fun to eat!  So St.  Patricks Day is a really fun parade and its awesome to get to go to and experience.

The Hunger Games

Reading The Hunger Games was probably one of the best books I have ever read!  I usualy dont like reading but this book got me to love it and i am so excited to read the next book which is Catching Fire.  The Hunger Games was about this set of "games" and there are 12 districts that are involoved.  A boy and girl are both selected to go to this competition and you have to fight with everyone will the last person is alive.  Its a bloody and hard battle.  Lots of drama happens and its really intense.

The hunger games probably the best book ever and now that i finished i get to go see the movie!! Also i read Nervous Conditions for part of my 150 minutes of outside reading.  I have really enjoyed reading thus far and i continue to find books like Hunger Games.

Bein the big sis

I am one of 4 siblings.  I have 2 brothers and 1 sister, and i am the oldest.  Carly is my little sister and she is 2 years old but i swear she acts like she's 10!  She is the best little thing that has ever happened to me and i love her so much!  She was born when i was in 7th grade and i swear that day was life changing.  I've never thought i can love someone so much before!  Yes, some times she is the biggest handful and gets annoying but at the end on the day i will always love her!

Carly says and does the cutest things ever!  Each day she surprises me with these new things she learns and it amazes me how much she has grown!  I can't wait to be there for her when she is older and always be the best big sis i can be!

Good by Nervous Conditions

Nervous Conditions is finally over and i can't tell if I'm excited or sad.  I am glad that i don't have to read it any more because the chapters were long and all, but it was a pretty good book.  It started off slow and all and i wasn't interested but it got better as the book went on, and i was especially interested in the middle.  Now that its over i would say over all that its a pretty good book.

Now that we are done reading Nervous Conditions its time to find a new book.  Ive been spending all my 150 minutes on NC and so now i need to find a new book.  I think i am going to read Catching Fire because i read THe Hunger Games and since the movie is coming out i want to read all of the other books.

crawfish!

This weekend i went to my first crawfish boil of the season!  It was good good and im so glad that its that time of year again!  It so much fun to be with family and enjoy eachothers company and eat some crawfish.  Every year i try and teach my little cousins how to peel them but it always just ends with  me pealing it for them.  THe crawfish were nice size and they were delicious!

I am so excited to go to more crawfish boils and hang out with more people!  Its a tradition that we always have one on St. Patricks Day so i am looking forward to go to that this year!!
