Snow Day

We had a snow day today, not because of snow, but because the windchill was -20 F. All week the temperatures in the morning have been 0 F or below with windchill of around -16 F. This makes this week a three day week. Everyone is happy about not having to go, but now we lose our only off day in February. It’d be a lot better if we didn’t have to make up our snow days until they got to a certain amount. What’s one day out of 180? It does come at a good time for me because I can catch up on work and just take a break. I feel like I talk about wanting a break a lot but it seems like right now most of us are just floating from one break to the next. People were not lying when they told us junior year would be the worst. I’m stressed and stretched thin trying to get by. I honestly just can’t wait to get through this year and know that it’s over. But right now, I’m only half way there.

NHS Induction Ceremony

     Tonight was my school’s induction ceremony for NHS. Twenty-three of us got accepted. For one night we got to be honored in front of our friends and families. I got to walk up on stage and accept my certificate with twenty-two of my classmates. It was nice to get acknowledged for our hard work. Also this will help us all with college which is awesome. I’m excited to keep moving.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
