Blog Entry No. 9 Spring Break

This year at the end of march comes a great time of the year SPRING BREAK! I desprately wait each year for this time. Most people go on vacations trips ec. But this year we didn’t go on any big vacations but I did do a few fun events. I went to the Illinois State NIT game. We somehow got lower bowl tickets. Right near all the action. We usually go on these little fun nights every once in a while. The depressing part was that they lost but I have never been to an NIT game ever before. The other thing I did was I had Easter at my house this year. For the first time ever it was just our family. My other grandmas and grandpas were at their other houses down in Texas and Arizona. Luckily they are getting back pretty soon. The other thing we did was we went to some friends of my mom and dads with a bunch of other people from our church so it was what you would call a little church gathering. We played Wii and darts and billiards. We also watched the NCAA tournament. Our family does these little brackets to see who will win and usually I don’t care but I am winning! There isn’t a really big prize you just have bragging rights for the whole year. The whole rest of the time I worked on the big pork farm with my dad. So in a nutshell these events are what I did over my whole spring break vacation.

If I got a knock on the door and a package came the best present that could come at my door would probably be a Nintendo Wii because I wanted one for over a year now and I am saving a lot of my money into savings accounts. So I really don’t put much of my money for myself. Also I have asked for one for the past two Christmas’s in a row! The reason is probably because my dad doesn’t really like video games a whole lot because he thinks they make us lazy and it gets us distracted from what is really important in life like school and chores on the farm. To tell you the truth I really do believe that because when we got an Xbox a few years ago and it made my brothers lazy and more annoying because that is all they do when they get home is go downstairs and play Xbox. But to get back on track I deserved it because I got straight A’s this year and have worked really hard and I’ve tried to tell my dad that it is not just a regular video game it gets you off your feet and it gets you active and NOT lazy. So if I could have any package come to my front door it would have to be a Nintendo Wii because right now there seems to be no chance of me getting one from my parents but if I would win one or get one from my relatives that would be pretty cool!

Blog entry no. 7 morning routine

Beep! Beep! Beep! The old alarm goes off again on another Monday morning meaning another school day.It is 6:30, I turn around to turn the alarm off my hair is a wild and crazy mess from me tosing and turning in bed all night. I throw the covers over my body and drag my self out of bed to get my clothes sometimes it takes me a while to figure out what to wear which can waste a lot of time which is a long time habit. I open the door and walk down the long hallway over to the bathroom to take a shower which seems like it takes a long time. I go in turn on the shower and take a shower realy quick and hurry up to put on my clothes and open the door and feel the hot steam from the shower steam out. Then I go down the stairs where I meet my brothers watching TV because they get up at like 5 in the morning! Then if my mom cooks anything for breakfast I will eat it but if not I usually grab some Poptarts or toast or something easy like that. Because by now I don’t have enough time to get anything big, sometimes I don’t eat anything at all. After I eat something I sit down on the couch and watch the Today’s show to see what is going on in the world. Then when its nice I walk our back road which is like a half a mile but when its cold my mom takes me and my brothers so in a nutshell that is my boring morning routine. Hey, that rhymes!

Blog Entry No. 6

There are five senses that most of the people in the world are granted when they are born, sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. If I had to loose one of my senses I would probably loose the sense of touch. The reason I would give this one up out of all of the rest is that the others you use to function like a normal person physically and emotionally. For example, sight you use all of the time to look and see, to not see anything would be pretty bad and you would need a guide dog or a guide stick. Taste you would need to taste all of your favorite foods. There would also be no reason to eat and eating wouldn’t be enjoyed as much in your life. Everyone likes to sit down with their family and enjoy a nice meal! Smell you would need for pleasure and for safety. To enjoy smell would be like coming home on that exhausting day of school and smell a pan of cookies waiting for you. Safety reasons for smell is like if you were in a factory and a poisonous gas broke out and if you couldn’t smell it you would probably be really messed up or if there was a fire you would need to smell the smoke to escape it. If you just lost the sense of touch you would loose all feeling which could be a good thing. Like if you got your arm sawed off you wouldn’t be in any pain or if you go to the doctor and you got a shot you wouldn’t feel bad at all! So overall if I had to loose one sense the sense of feeling would be my choice by far! But of course you wouldn’t want to loose a sense for no reason.
