Chess

Dear Readers,

I have been outwitted. The other night, I was texting one of my friends while watching a movie, sitting on the couch right by my front room window which, many of you know, has a huge view of the entire street. Now, I wanted to hang out with the friend mentioned above but she said she was having a 'special' night with one of our other friends. Next thing I know, there's a package of bologna, three pieces of cheese and a multiplication chart on my front porch. I had no idea what was going on becuase never before has there been someone who could even come close to our porch without being noticed.

Not wanting to be outdone, I figured out who left these items on my porch and made quick preparations to leave something on her doorstep in response. As I was drving towards her house, I noticed a car that looked like hers but thought, "No, they can't still be out and about" and didn't give it another thought. As I parked down her street to finish up the note for her, a car drove by and I saw that it was this person and her friends. In a desperate attempt to retain what dignity I had left, I quickly followed them to her house and left my response on her doorstep as they were going through the garage.

All in all, I'm just glad that I have been asked to the Valentines Dance next month and I look forward to it. :)

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
