Last Night


Dear Readers,

Now, the title refers to both last night as the night before today and as the name of the event I attended at the high school after graduation yesterday. Let me tell you, it was not what I expected.

I am certainly my friends were there, or it would have been no fun whatsoever. Yes, there was a mechanical bull that I rode for about three seconds. There was a cash cube that most people came out of with about two dollars. Mini Golf? Pretty lame, I must say.

Yet the biggest let down of the night was the "Let's make a deal" game. There were supposedly twelve Apple Products to win as the big prizes of the night, but they were all a play on words. Laura got an I-Pad. Or should I say 'eye-pad.' it was a binder with a bunch of eyes glued on the front. Although, Julia did get some speakers for her ipod.

Thank goodness for my friends that were there. They had a bunch of laughs with me and we had races on the big blow up toys. And sorry, I beat my best friend in the gladiator blow up toy. I was knocked off my stoop once, but I knocked her off several times before that.

Lesson learned? Make sure your friends come with you to events that may or may not be lame.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

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...
