Well...

This weekend was pretty nice. As most of you know, it was Aunt Katies birthday on Saturday. We had a great time with everybody. Now i am back into my school schedule.
Monday was a normal day... not much fun. Then I got to leave early today because I hit my hand REALLY hard on a science lab. I went to the hospital and they said that I chipped my bone in my knuckle. So they put my finger in a splint. And I can't do gym for atleast 2 weeks!!! WHOO HOO! By the way, I hit my right hand, so it sucks! :) So tomorrow I am definatley seeing my counselor.

From last year.

Last year I won a writing contest for my writing. The writing topic was Sharing, Caring, and Giving. I wrote a really long paper, and this is just part of it. I thought I would share this part with you. If you want to see my whole paper, I can send it to you. Or if enough people ask for it, I will just put it on here.



Here are some reasons I think of my aunt for sharing, caring, and giving. Those words describe her perfectly! She is one of the most caring people I know. If anything happens to me or my cousins, she is always there to make you forget about it. Whenever I spend the night at my grandma’s house, my aunt is usually there. Then around midnight, we go on a walk around the block and talk about good and bad thing’s happening in our lives. She gives her time to help me.
Last but not least, I think of my grandma. She is the one of the best example of sharing, caring, and giving. Whenever I have family fights, or I just want to get out of the house, she invites me to spend the night. That always gets me in a better mood. This is how that shows sharing, caring, and giving. She is sharing her home with me. She cares about me so much that she offers to let me some spend time at her house. And she is giving me time to come spend time with her while she could be doing something else.

My Package

Today I received a package addressed to me. So of course, I opened it. It said it was from "Jennifer Long".
When I opened it, I found the jewlery that Katie wore at her wedding. There, in that tiny little package was a beautiful headband, a necklace, bracelet and earrings. I guess Aunt Katie borrowed them from Jenni. I was so thrilled to see them. Holding them in my hands. Aunt Katie is the last one that wore them. So I don't think I really want to "clean them up". :) That's just being me. Today I am wearing the necklace. I will always treasure these items.

And I am DEFINATLEY wearing these at MY wedding.

My School

Yesterday in math, my english teacher sent a kid over with some scrap paper because she didn't want it. But my math teacher didn't get it. So he was like
"Why are you giving me scrap paper?"
And the kid was like
"Mrs.Stein told me to."
Then my math teacher was like
"OK. i guess i'll give her some tissue or something."
Then we went on with math. But at the end of class, he gave me a plastic cup and told me to bring it to Mrs.Stein (english teacher)
So i did. Then she gave me a Chicago Bears flag to give to him.
When I brought it to him he told me to tell her that he was going to draw on it and burn it and that I saved it.
My teachers are pretty awesome.

Then today was pretty cool too.
The morning was boring. Then in science we went to the computer lab to make these graphs. Then in Social Studies we just looked for words in the newspaper. Then in English, we read this story and made a story board about it. Then in art, I was only in there for like 5 minutes when the counselor came in and took me out of the class. She brought me up to the other counselors office. We talked in there for around an hour. We talked about Aunt Katie and what we are doing. It was pretty nice. Then she said that we could meet either once a week or every other week. And I showed her the pictures in my locker or Aunt Katie. She said that we both have a big and pretty smile. :]

Tonight is my piano recital. I will talk about that later tonight after I get home.

Yep...

OK. This week has been pretty crammed!
Monday I had piano lessons. Like Normal
Tuesday I had Parent/Teacher Conferences. Apparently my friends and I have been a little talkative. :] But we are girls, thats what we are supposed to do. HAH!
Wednesday I had a Choir Concert. It went pretty good. We were the best. :]
We sang all Lion King Broadway Musical Songs. They are "Shadowland" "The Lioness Hunt" and "Circle of Life"
Thursday was nothing. Boring day.
Friday I am going to have a piano recital. They are fun. Mainly because I get to see Grace again. I haven't seen her for like... forever!!!! (Not really)
I am going to be playing "Candle on the Water" from Disney's Pete's Dragon, and
"I am a Small Part of the World" It was a choir song that we sang last year.

That's pretty much it.

Quotes

I like these quotes.

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell

While we are mourning the loss of her, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil. ~John Taylor

OK so...

Right now I am having a really hard time. I don't know why though.
Ugh.

I'm doing a social studies project on Romania right now.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

Gosh...

I STILL CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT MY AUNT IS DEAD.
GONE FOREVER!!!



IT JUST SUCKS!

OK, so...

Apparently, I am getting on my cousins nerves. So I will write before she decides to fly up here and kick my butt. I really have nothing to write about, so it may just be very random.
Yesterday I just got back from Chicago. We had a wedding to go to down there. Everybody was there! and I mean EVERYBODY!!! It was my moms cousins wedding. Emma, Chloe, Chase and I were all in the wedding. Chase played the biggest role. He was the Ring Bearer. Then Emma, Chloe, and I (and partially Hannah) passed out programs at the beginning and bubbles at the end. It was pretty fun.
After the wedding, we rode a trolley to the lake. There the wedding party took pictures by Buckingham Fountain. We just wanted to go for the ride.
Then the trolley took us to the reception. We got there about an hour after everybody got there.
The next day, we went to the Grooms Mothers House. There we had brunch and hung out with alot of people.
Then, unfortunatley, the lovely weekend had come to an end. We had to leave. Let me tell you... it sucked! I did NOT want to go.
Then today i REALLY didn't want to go to school.
Ugh. Everthing kinda stinks right now. I have these like waves of emotions. One minute I may be really happy, then the next moment, I may be crying.
Today at school, in the hallway, I just started crying. So i went into the bathroom for a minute to wipe my face. I didn't want to be late to class, so I had to hurry. Oh well.
That's it for now.
