My Little Review

Okay, so the choir trip to the Ordway was amazing!  I had a lot of fun.  We saw Irving Berlin's White Christmas.  It was awesome just like everyone said it would be.  There were a lot of cool costumes and great voices.  At the end it even snowed!  I loved it!  Okay, so here's my review:

Irving Berlin's dazzling "White Christmas" is a show you will never forget.  The exquisite costumes play tricks with your eyes and they sparkle like Christmas lights in the night.  The music will have you singing along.  Even though the Musical has a different plot than the movie it still keeps you guessing.  I give Irvin Berlin's White Christmas 5 STARS.  I would recommend the show to everyone at any age. 

Choir Trip to the Ordway!

Today is the varsity choir trip to the Ordway! I am so excited. We only have to go to our first three classes and then lunch so that's a bonus, too. We are going to see a White Christmas. It's supposed to be a really flashy, fun show. It should be really good. Ms. Heaney, our choir director, said that Mr. Root (our Principal) just went to it this past weekend. He said it was very flashy and that we would like it so that's good. I can't wait!!! I hope our drive up there goes well because the weather and the roads don't look very good. It's so cold!!! But anyways I'll get back to you on how the show goes. I'll do a little review. :)

Love... Does anyone know?

Love. What is it? What's the definition?

1. To have a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward (a person): We love our parents. I love my friends.
2. To have a feeling of intense desire and attraction toward (a person).
* According to the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language

Okay, so now we know the definition but what does it mean? How will we know when we find this deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and attraction? Maybe we think we've found it but we really haven't. Maybe we have this picture in our head of what it should be like but that's not it. What if it's so much more than that? What if it's no where to be found? What if one never finds it?
I believe I've found it... in the arms of a new Mom, in the eyes of our families, and in the one we "love". It's something that no one can explain. Not even a dictionary but we all know it's out there and it's ever changing.

Snow Day - 12/9/08!!!!

The Snow Day we had yesterday was awesome!!! It was nice to have an extra day to relax especially after we had our choir concert. I was so excited when my Mom told me!!! Both my parents are teachers so they got the day off too. They enjoyed having the day off a lot also. Everyone always wonders who calls the snow days. A lot of people think it's the teachers but it's not. My Mom said if the teachers did get to decide we'd have tons of snow days. :) It's actually the transportation guy and the Superintendent that decide. So, we can thank them for the Snow Day. It ended up not being that bad yesterday. Oh, well. I'm just glad we had the day off. It was fun. My friends and I went to the B&B for Breakfast. Their pancakes are amazing! I love eating there. After we went to the B&B we hung out and played the Wii. My boyfriend just got one and they are very cool. So, anyways it was an awesome snow day.

My bell ringing.

My bell ringing was good. It was actually pretty fun. I saw some people I knew and I got to talk to them so that was fun. I had a really hectic day though! It was crazy! I woke up a little before 11 and 5 minutes after I woke up I got called to work from 11:30 - 7:30 - I work at St. John's. But I told them I couldn't because I had to bell ring. I really wanted to get my hero project done and it would have been hard to reschedule the bell ringing. They couldn't find anyone else to come in to work and they really needed me. So, I went in to work, left work, bell rang, and then went back to work after I was done bell ringing. It was a crazy day but it was fun. I'm glad I got a chance to do both. I need the money and I wanted to put in my community service hours/project. Bell ringing is definitely an easy way to give back to your community. If your looking for something to do for your project bell ringing is a good idea. Just give the Salvation Army a call. They'll be happy to hear from you!!

Brrrrr... It's freezing out!

It is so cold outside. I mean should we really have to go to school when it's this cold? :) JK but it is super cold! It was my first time driving on icy, wintry roads on Tuesday. It was kind of scary but I think I was mostly scared because my Mom had just freaked out about driving carefully because the roads were bad. I swerved twice but I was going really slow so it didn't matter. When I got home though I pulled into the garage and rammed into my Dad's workbench with the car. Oops! Shh... don't tell! :) Good thing my Mom wasn't home! Everything was fine on the car and the workbench so it's all good. They'll never notice. I just hope everyone out there is careful this winter. You can slip and slide at any time. It's important to be careful. Now I feel like my Mom.

Hero Project - Lights, Camera, Action

In my journalism class at school we were assigned this project... a Hero project. We have to research a certain person who was involved in humanitarian work. I think for that part of the project I am going to research Eleanor Roosevelt. She seems like a "hero" to me. I don't know much about her yet but hopefully I will. The second part of the project requires us to get involved. I've been trying to think of something to do for a long time and finally my Mom said I could bell ring for the Salvation Army. I thought that was a really good idea so that's what I'm going to do. I'm kind of nervous. I'll be all by myself. I just have to smile and say "hello". It should be a good experience. This project actually has a lot to do with a blog I wrote a while back - the one about Night by:Elie Wiesel. We all need to start getting involved and take care of each other. WE can't let something like the Holocaust happen again so let's not just stand by.
Oh, and if you want to come say "hi" to me while I'm ringing I'll be at Herbergers from 4-6 on Saturday.
