Last week!!

This week in geography we didn't do too much. We continued learning about China and that region through guided reading packets. We also took a test on wednesday to show that we learned all of the countries in the region. Not only were there countries, but a lot of cities and landforms too. It was pretty easy for me.

In my life not much new has happened. But this is our last blog!!! Tomorrow I get my yearbook for the end of the school year, and i am really excited. I love having everyone sign it.

This summer i am going to be a counselor at camp, and look after little kids. I dont mind doing this because I get paid! haha I think i am also going to the beach for my birthday, I will turn 15 this summer. Later my family and I are going to take a trip to north dakota to visit my granparents and my uncle. he is getting a hall of fame award for being a swim coach!

Somewhere I would really like to go is Europe. I think it sounds so exciting!! I really want to to spain, france, italy and Ireland. All of those places sound interesting to me because of the things to do and see there. I had a friend that lived in Italy for three years, and she said it was soooo much fun and really pretty there. I have never been out of the country before, so anywhere I go would be cool!!!

And if I ever get go to France, I really want to see the eiffle tower.

More Geography!!!

Well this week we are learning about China and its population. Its very very large, and laws have been put in place in order to change that so it doesnt overpopulate too much. One of these policies is the one child policy, and it says that each couple/family may only have one kid in it. I agree with this because it will help reduce the population eventually and China is in desperate need of a population solution.

Im sooo excited for summer!!!! We have only TEN days of school left :) Thats pretty much all that im thinking about these days. Finals are coming up soon, and those are going to be really hard, but once they are over I and I think everybody else is going to be so relieved. Texas summers are hot though!! It was like a hundred degrees here today, ugh....

This Week In Geography.....

This week in geography we learned more about the religions. Speakers from each one came up to talk to everybody on turesday. They were really hard to understand, but they gave good information. After that we had a sub for most of the week, and so we worked quitely on worksheets to study for our test on monday.



In other classes we did some fun stuff this week. For Biology we got to go on a really cool field trip to the comal river, caves, and barton springs. At barton springs we got to go swimming and at the comal river we had an hour of free time just to run around and eat lunch. It was a long bus ride to get everywhere, but with a lot of my friends on my bus it made it a lot more fun. Our school had to use four big busses to hold all of the students, and that held only one third of my grade. The picture is of me and sarah on the bus!!






When I grow up, I don't really know what I want to be or where I want to go to college even. Im thinking about going out of state, and maybe studing something that has to do with animals. I love being outside and doing things so any job that involves that might intrest me.

Geography...

Geopgraphy this week was kind of boring, especially because we only went to class two days of the week. All we really did was silently read some articles about myanmar. Every day we had a standardized test in the morning, and we only went to half of our classes in the afternoon. We were assigned a new project, and it has to do with food so its not that bad. We have to reasearch a dish from three countries and describe the ingredients used, and make some maps.


In my life nothing much has changed. Ive been really busy at the barn and with my friends, it doesn't seem like there is enough time in my day anymore! One of my favorite childhood memories was when my dad was married, and me and him and my stepmom went up to New York. We went to a ranch with both of our families and had so much fun. There was a lake to go waterskiing in, games to play, great buffet food, and horses to ride. When we weren't there, my stepmom would take me shopping in the city and buy me a lot of nice things. It was a really good vacation, and one that I will remember for a while.

More cool austin places...

So I have told you about some austin places, but here are some more that make it especially unique.

-Amys Ice Cream!!! Yumm...the best place to go on a hot summer day. Original, great tasting ice cream flavors that everybody loves.

-Terra toys and Toy joy...the two toy stores that everybody loves! Adults and children of all ages can go inside and get lost in the sea of unique toys.

-Barton Springs...Its the popular austin swimming hole everyone enjoys!! It is cold year around, and it is a lovely area with trees and flowers surrounding the swimming area.

Geography!

This week in geography, our class learned a lot about the religions of southwest asia. We divided into groups and each group had a different religion to research. I had Islam, which a really interesting religion. After we learned about ours, we put all of the information on a posterboard and presented it to the class so that they could learn more. Next week, there is a speaker coming from each major religion to talk to us and teach us about them.

For me this week was pretty normal. I rode my horse a lot, and went to a movie with a few friends. It was really good!! These past three thursdays have been late start days at school, which means we start one hour later and we get to sleep in so that was nice. But now that school is coming to a close, there are no more late start days or holidays! But my friends and I are really excited for summer to come. What are you going to do this summer?
