Last blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the last blog I will ever write for creative writing class. I am so proud! 18 blogs later and I am finally done. I don't really know what to write about. There is nothing to write about. It's the end of the school year almost, I begin my nanny job on the 14th of June and on August 31st I will be at my first class in college. I will attend University of Wisconsin, River Falls to study Elementary Education. I hope to be a teacher some day for little kids. This summer I am also going to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Tennessee, try to go up to Kates cabin and work at ECEC. I don't have to work on the next two Tuesdays! What a relief. I like my job and the kids I work with but I can't stand my co-workers. When I am finished with the job the only thing I will remember is the kids and the fun stories I get to remember them by. This last Tuesday was also a not so fun day. Me and Kate were at Chili's when Kate got the call saying our friend Chelsea was gone. I didn't know what to think. A couple of week earlier I lost my friend Eric and was heart broken. I couldn't believe that this happened again. Chelsea was an amazing person with a great personality and everyone who knew her will miss her deeply. Well that's about it. This is the Seniors last blog of the year and we are moving on to new and better things. I will miss all the new friends I made and will cherish the ones I get to stay in contact with next year. I will miss all my teachers and classes but can't wait till college. So farewell my dear blog until one day when I am bored and feel like writing on your page once more.
My weekend
This weekend started right after school for me on Friday. I went to work, got off early, and made plans to go to the drive-in with my friend, Paige. I picked her up, stopped at the gas station for snacks and headed to the drive-in around eight. We took my van and backed into the parking space. For our seating arrangements, we opened the back of the trunk and sat on blankets and pillows. We saw Shrek the third, Iron Man 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street. It might sound weird to most of my friends and family but I liked Nightmare on Elm Street the most. It wasn't scary but it was very creepy but they also had a bunch of cute guy in the movie. Before the movies even began we took about 150 picture and in total we took over 200 pictures. Most of them are posted on facebook but the other ones stayed off because of stupidity and not wanting them out there for everyone to see. In between Shrek and Iron Man we put down all of the seats and decided to lay down instead of sitting in the trunk. We had so much fun! We also went swimming at the pool on Saturday and on Monday we went boating after changing the boat battery. It was a good weekend for the most part and I wish I could have a bunch more like that. Next week will be a lot better because I only have to look forward to ONE day of school!!!! I can't wait.

Stress
I am getting so mad! School is so boring I can't stand it anymore. In our English class we are finishing up All Quiet on the Western Front and we still have to do more assignments next week. In Food and Nutrition we have to be a "business" and come up with a healthy snack. In creative writing we are doing one act plays and to be quite honest I hate play, either watching them or acting in them I really don't like them. Then there are things outside of school that are also stressing me out. I have to work with three year old each day and quite honestly I am in desperate need for a break. Don't get me wrong, I love working at ECEC but the stress of school and everything else is bothering me at my job. I also have to give them my summer schedule to see when I am available to work and I need more time to figure out my summer plans. They needed my schedule at the beginning of May and that is not enough time for someone to have their whole summer figure out. I can't wait until I am done with summer scheduling! The only thing that is making me sane is the fact that I only have five days to go for school and then I can concentrate on my nannying job. Anyway what's the point of seniors even coming to school on Monday, it is a waste of the seniors time and other schools seniors get out two weeks before the rest of the school. I guess it shows how lame Woodbury High School really is! I can't wait to graduate.

Blogs
If their is one thing that bugs me the more than my brother it is these blogs! No offense to anyone who really enjoys writing them but to me they have become a pain. I think they became boring after the second week of blogs. Even though they are free points they are annoying to write and hard to write about two new topic that aren't aren't interesting. I can't wait for next week. It is the last week of blogs! I am already counting down the number of blogs I have to write. Three more to go!!!! Two hundred and fifty words is an acceptable word count for a blog but it is hard to achieve it if you don't have anything interesting to write about for those two hundred and fifty words. It is getting to the end of the school year and I am bored with school. It is a pain to do anything during the last term of your senior year, especially work for my English class. For this week we have to write a farewell speech or a marketing speech and on top of that we have to read All Quite on the Western Front. We have to take one more quiz and a final test. I can't wait till these next two weeks are over with. I can really use the summer to get over high school and get ready for college. I am so excited to attend the University of Wisconsin- River Falls nest year! There is no point in even having a forth term for Seniors!

Nails
Today I got my nails done for the second time. The first time I got them done was for prom. I got acrylic nails with a French manicure. They were a fake nail with a square cut. They lasted for four weeks but started to look bad after three weeks. This past Thursday one of the kids at work who doesn't have any discipline, kicked me and caught my hand. He hit my pinkie nail and it started to bleed instantly. It hurt so bad I was almost in tears because he ripped part of my nail off of my skin under my nail. He also managed to chip the clear nail polish from the back part of my nail. Today my nails were filled in and I got a few adjustments. My nails have a round cut instead of square and they have a purple nail color on them instead of a french manicure. I loved getting my nails done. It is a fun experience but it also can be a little painful. When she would file down each nail she would push really hard against my skin so it wouldn't get in the way but she pushed on it real hard and was a pain. Today it also hurt when she was working on the pinkie that the kid kicked. The person who did my nails was really rough with my pinkie because it was damaged by the kid. Overall I had a fun time getting my nails done.

Car Accidents
Car accidents are a bummer. I remember being in a accident while our family was vacationing down in Texas. I was asleep throughout the crash but my parents woke me up just to make sure I was okay. In Two for the Dough, Stephanie was following Joe Morelli's cousin who was a bail skipper. Morelli was telling her where to go and made her back into the curb of the street. She made him confess that he did it on purpose to give his cousin a break for once. I have never been in any serious car accidents while I was driving. There was only one time that I got into a very minor accident but no one except my friends really know about it. It was last summer and me and my friends wanted to go to Carver lake beach for fun. At that time they were working on repairs for the water tower. They had signs up blocking the right lane so every one had to go in the left lane. I didn't see the signs and there was an idiot driver right in front of me and got out of the way. When I finally saw the signs it was to late. I turned to get into the next lane but the sign caught the side of my car and I knocked it over. After the first sign fell over it caught another sign and that one also fell over. I was lucky because there was no scratches on the car and didn't have to tell my parents that I knocked over two signs.

Characters for the Movie
The other day I was randomly looking on Janet Evanoviches website and found some interesting news. They are going to make a movie for Janets first novel One for the money. The actor that they have chosen to play Stephanie will be played by Katherine Higel. She is a good actor but I don't think she would be able to pull of Stephanie Plums character. At least if they do go through with this cast she dyed her hair a dark brunette. There was an article a while back about Janet wanting Sandra Bullock to play Stephanie but because of recent events it doesn't seem like she is playing a roll in a movie anytime soon. Also on Janets website she said that the rolls for Joe Morelli and Ranger have been cast. Jason O'Mara will be playing Joe Morelli and Daniel Sajata will be playing ranger. I don't know either of them. But they apparently have both played roles in popular television shows. If they do come out with a One for the Money show, I will have high standards for how the movie would be put together. I wonder who is going to play Ramirez. I think someone like the Rock but with a little more attitude. They also have said that Betty White would be playing Stephanies Grandma. She would be perfect for the role. I am so excited if they do come out with a movie!

Two for the Dough

So I finished One for the Money on Sunday and today I am starting the second book, Two for the Dough. I only got a few pages into the book and had to leave for my brothers confirmation. In the first couple of pages you see Stephanie and Ranger at one guys house and this person skipped bail. They were hiding in the bushes across the street from the house. Stephanie comes up with an idea to knock on the door and confront the bail skipper. They knock on the door and tell the people to open up and that they were bail collector. The person who opened the door was someone that they didn't expect to be at the door. The door was opened by no other than Stephanies past high school fling, Joe Morelli. Stephanie asks him why he was there and he told her that the person who skipped bail was Joe's cousin and he was visiting his family at the moment. Ranger left shortly after and Morelli tells Stephanie that he would help her bring in his cousin. Even though this part of the book is only apart of the first few pages I really enjoyed the beginning. Currently I am at my moms cousins house waiting for my brother to finish up the yard work. He is getting generously paid for all his time and work. Once I finish my blogs, I am going to go and play a game with the kid my moms cousin is babysitting. Her name is Lauren and it looks like she wants to play Trouble. Got to go!

Mothers Day
Today is Mothers Day and I am just finishing up homework and spending the rest of the night relaxing with my mom. This morning, I was extremely bored and finished off my book, One for the Money. It was a very good ending and I really enjoyed the book. The things that I most enjoyed about the book was the plot, characters, suspense, unexpected scenes and the comical parts that Janet included into the novel. The ending of the book was something I didn't expect to happen. I am not going to spoil the ending because I recommend reading One for the Money. So that's it! I am done with the first novel and tomorrow I hope to start Two for the Dough. I have nothing else to talk about when it comes to Janet Evanoviches novels. I will then continue to ramble on about Mommy's day. I went to church around 11 o'clock and wished my mom a Happy Mothers Day. She was volunteering and helping out with the first communion masses at 8:30 and 11:00. Then we went home and gave her her gifts. She got a fifty dollar gift card to Sunsets and two movies. The movies are Sherlock Holmes and Avatar. We spent the day watching Sherlock Holmes twice, relaxing and napping; what a relief. For breakfast we bought cinnamon rolls from a fundraiser. At lunch time I cooked up some taco meat at made tacos for the family. I also made sure my mom didn't have to cook at all while I was in the kitchen. Then for supper we had steaks on the grill with fried potatoes and green peas that sat in the freezer a little to long. Overall my mom had a great day and wishes it could be like this all the time.

Hospitals
The one time I have visited a hospital was the worst. But before I talk about that you should know why I am talking about it. The main character in One for the Money, Stephanie, is in the hospital hoping this girl Lula will make it through surgery. The reason why Lula is in the hospital is because this guy beat her up and left her hanging outside of the fire escape to Stephanies window. Stephanie is so worried because even though she made it through the attack and is conscious, she still has to go through multiple surgeries. Eventually Lula is better and recovers. Stephanie visits her a couple of times and doesn't convince Lula to testify against Ramirez because she is afraid that if he isn't convicted that he or someone Ramirez knows would come after her. She also doesn't want to get beaten up by her father who is forcing her to be a prostitute. The one time I was in the hospital was in sixth grade. I was at school one day and my teacher sent me down to the office because my parents were there to pick me up. I was confused but happy to get out of school. My mom said my dad was at the hospital with his mom and we are suppose to meet him there. When we were in the hospital and going to the room my whole family was there. I saw my grandma on the hospital bed and she looked pail and fragile. She didn't wake up for the rest of the week. Every night that week I had slumber parties at my cousins house. Me and my brother didn't want to far away from the hospital so our aunt and uncle allowed us to stay at their house. One night our parents took us home and that night our grandma pasted away. I always think of what would have happened if I stayed in Hastings, but I guess I will never know.
