Last Day

Hey everyone! Today was the last day of school. It was really fun! We played games and messed around the whole day. Then we had popsicles and signed eachother's yearbooks. Fun fun fun. Then I went swimming with a bunch of friends. We swam for like 3 hours. That's about it.

Finals, May Fair, Twin Day, Estes Park, BBQ

Hey everyone! The finals tests are coming up and I am really nervous! The study guides are really long, and a lot of the stuff on them I don't even remember doing! Lots of exciting stuff happening. This Friday is the school May Fair where there are a bunch of booths and prizes and other fun stuff like that. Our class is doing a photo booth where you can dress up in silly costumes and get your picture taken. It will be really fubn. Another thing happening on Friday is Twin Day! You find a friend and come to school dressed like twins, and whoever looks the most alike wins! Me and my friend Hannah are being twins, so that's going to be fun.

I forgot to post about when I went to Estes Park on May 1st. We stayed two nights until the 3rd. I went with my best friend, and we did a ton of fun stuff like craft making, (I made a set of jewelry) hiking, swimming, and playing cards. It was kind of rainy so that made it a little less fun but not that much. That was a while ago but I just thought I would throw that in there. Another thing that I forgot to mention was the church BBQ that I went to last Sunday. There was a silent auction and a raffle for an ipod touch. I didn't win the ipod touch but I did bid on some books that I got. My family bid on this two night trip to Estes Park and stay in this REALLY nice cabin that's just a few blocks away from downtown so we can go shopping. So in October we are going to go do that. That's about it.

If

Hey everyone! In English today we read this poem and I really liked it. Sorry but there is really nothing I can think of to post about so here's the poem.

If

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,

If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling

Hope you liked it. It kind of reminds me of those insurance companies that are like "for the if in life" lol.

Luv,

Me

Side Note

Hey everyone! I forgot to tell you in my last post: my dog got this haircut and it makes her look like a lion because her body is all skinny now but she still has a lot of hair on her head. So cute!! Anyways just an interesting fact.

Summer

Hey everyone! I am totally excited for summer to start! OMG it is gonna be so fun! One of my friends is gonna take us all boating, and another one of my friends is gonna take us all horse-back-riding and I am gonna take us all camping. It's gonna be exciting. Summer is usually really fun at first, but then I get really bored towards the end when you run out of things to do, but then school starts and it's not boring anymore! Ofcourse you probably already know all of this. I would love to know what everybody is doing for summer so post comments!

The Cricket Sang

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Today I thought I would post a poem. I know you are probably tired of my constantly blogging poems but I seriously am running out of topics to write about, so if anybody has an idea that they would like discussed, then you can post it under comments. Thanks! Anyways here is the poem:

The Cricket Sang

By Emily Dickinsen

The cricket sang,

And set the sun,

And workmen finished, one by one,

Their seam the day upon.

The low grass loaded with the dew,

The twilight stood as strangers do

With hat in hand, polite and new,

To stay as if, or go.

A vastness, as a neighbor, came,--

A wisdom without face or name,

A peace, as hemispheres at home,--

And so the night became.

Thanks for reading!

Luv,

Me
