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.

Ghost Stories

This blog post relate to the story because I just decided not to read any further into my story. This post I am going to write about a different story I read for my English class called "The Demon Lover." It was such an interesting short story to read but the ending was quite disturbing. This story took place during World War II in England. Kathleen Drovers family moved to the country to avoid being blown up by bombs. She went to her house in England to gather a few possession for the family and found a letter on a table from her fiance, which she believed was dead from the war. The letter describes a time when they will be together again and get married. Before he went off to war she promised him that she would marry him once he returned. She feels uncomfortable in her house and goes out to get a taxi at the most popular corner for taxis to be found. When she was leaving the house she felt a breeze coming from downstairs where a window had been opened. She quickly left the house and saw that there was only one taxi at the place and it came right up to her to pick her up. She didn't tell the driver where she was headed to but somehow he knew and was turning the car around. She pounded on the glass panel to talk to him to see where he was going and once she saw he fiances face, she screamed and pounded on the door and window as he sped of onto deserted streets. I really enjoyed reading this story because the author created suspense and had a good cliff hanger ending which I enjoyed a lot.

Stalkers

Stephanies stalkers, Benito Ramirez is the creepiest guy I have ever heard of. She first met him when she was asking him questions about his friends murder and he attacked her and almost raped her. Thank god for Joe Morelli, the hero of the day. She keeps getting phone calls from him and he even left a very nasty present on her door. The latest attempt to scare her was when he left a girl named Lula, naked on the fire escape outside of Stephanies window. Stephanie had to cut her down from the fire escape and drag her through herself and Lula in through the window. Once the cops came to her apartment, Stephanie got a call from Ramirez threatening her saying her was saving her for last. He wants her to suffer more than any other girl that he has tortured. The cop who was listening into the call called Ramirez a threat to Stephanie and other women around him. I am so happy that I have known no stalkers except this creepy guy. My wonderful friends told him that I like him, which I don't at all, and now he really thinks I do like him which really sucks. They also sent him texts from me saying that i wanted to start a relationship with him and he believed them. He got these texts from a very unreliable source. I think he is creepy and nasty, and I extremely pissed off at my friends for pawning him off on me. How unlucky am I.

Practice range

Stephanie's is now going to confront her fear of guns. She asked one of her friends to come and help her practice shooting and how to properly hold and fire the gun. As she is firing her gun, the monster bullets are eating up the paper. She learned what and what not to do when handling a gun like never putting your finger over or on the trigger. You could accidentally fire and the outcome could be catastrophic. She also gets advice on the proper stance and the right way to hold the gun. I have never before fired off a gun except for a Bebe gun. I was at a camp with my brother, I was eight and my brother was six. One of the days we wanted to learn how to use a Bebe gun but most of all we wanted to fire a gun at paper. The counselors taught us how to load the Bebe's into the cylinder and how to aim and shoot. It was fun and boring at the same time. Fun shooting the bullets into a piece of paper but boring because there was no point in shooting Bebe's at a piece of paper, it would have been better if we could shoot at pop cans. The paper had an outline of a person on it and when I got the paper back I saw three bullet holes in the head of the person. I was either really good at shooting or someone else was that bad that they hit my paper three times in the head for me. It didn't matter to me. I got too bring the paper home and showed my mom that I would be an excellent bounty hunter someday because I would be able to shot the assailant in the head.

Stranded

Right after her incident with the trash can incident, Stephanie visits her cousin Vinnie to get another bail bond to get more money. She goes to the persons house and isn't fooled by Stephanie's trick. He takes her bag, empties it out, and pushes her onto the street. He now has her gun, handcuff and her extra bullets. She is stranded outside and doesn't know what to do, so she decides to call Ranger to come and help her. So he comes and they try to come up with a plan but it back fires. The person with Stephanie's gun shoot at Ranger and catches him in the leg. Stephanie tackles the guy in the back and handcuffs him until the police and the paramedics arrive. I have had similar situations in which I was stranded and alone for quite sometime. One of them was when I was in ninth grade and I stayed after school for help. My mother knew I was there and was suppose to pick me up around four. Four O'clock came and went and I was still waiting at school for her. So I decided to walk home and I walked about a mile and my mom and my uncle are driving in the car to come and pick me up, a half and hour late. I was sweating and it was really hot that day, so my mom made it up to me by taking my out for ice cream. The other time that I was stranded was last year after work and I was again waiting for my mom. I tried calling home but no one answered. Finally and hour later my mom comes speeding into the parking lot and picks me up late, yet again.

Trash Can Dilemma

Currently in the novel, Stephanie encountered a visit with Joe Morelli. She was following his van and when he pulled over and confronted her, he took the car keys and threw them in the dumpster full of black trash bags and a yellow substance that looked like mustard or at least she hoped it was mustard. Joe obviously got away and she was stuck digging through the dumpster to find the car keys. She went back to her apartment and all the neighbors noticed. She smelled like a "wet dog" according to one of the neighbors and the other plugged her nose and ran in the other direction. I have had similar situations dealing with trash cans. The most recent was when my brother decided to get an early start on spring cleaning. He put a bunch of my stuff in the trash because I was yelling at him to leave my stuff alone and that I would take care of it myself. So throughout his cleaning session I had to dig through the trash just to make sure that my stuff wasn't at the bottom. The other story I have about trash cans is the time when a couple of my neighbors wanted to play hide and go seek. The second or third round we played I wanted to be really tricky about my hiding spot. So me and my brother thought it would be fun to trick our friends and hide in the trash can and recycling bin. I obviously hid in the recycling bin while my brother got stuck with the smelly and slimy trash can. He needed a serious shower after that.

Car Alarm

I am about half way through One for the Money and I am enjoying it. The part that I have just finished up is the part where Stephanie Plum installed an alarm system into Joe Morelli's car. She didn't want a repeat of Joe coming back and trying to take the car again. As she was out looking for Morelli one night, she saw him driving away in the van she first spotted him in. She attempts to follow him as she is jumping into the car, the alarm system goes off. I remember when my dad got out white 2000 mini van, I wanted to see what would happen if I pushed the lock button three times. So I show my cousin and younger brother what happens when I pressed the button three time and the car alarm goes off. I was so scared my parents would be mad so I left the keys on the front porch and ran inside to hide. My cousin just laughed and to this day has never let me or my brother forget the fact that we let the alarm go off on our new car. I think its funny that the alarm system went off when Stephanie and I tried to get into our cars. I am having fun reading One for the Money and can't wait to finish off the book. I am trying to read more but life for me right now is just a little to busy for the moment. Although I am busy, I am still trying to fit in reading whenever I have the time.

One for the Money

I have recently started reading the first novel of the Stephanie Plum series. These books are written by Janet Evanovich; The #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. The main character in One for the Money is Stephanie Plum, a lingerie salesman recently fired. She is very tight on money and is looking for a new job so she could pay for her car and her apartment. On the night she visits her parents for supper they tell her that her cousin Vinnie has an opening in his office. Stephanie goes to get the job but finds out the position has been filled. She finds out that her cousin Vinnie is running a bounty hunter business and black mails him into giving her one of the bail skippers, Joe Morelli. His bail bond is worth $10,000, which she wants to get her hands on. She has no experience in law enforcement and no experience dealing with criminals. Joe Morelli was her past fling in high school that she happened to run over with her fathers car. Morelli is wanted for the murder of a famous boxers best friend. As she is hunting him down and in the process gets into trouble with the boxer named Benito Ramirez. As she is on the job, she decides to commandeer his jeep for hers crappy run down car, which later gets her into trouble with Joe. Joe sends his cousin, Mooch to take the car back but she removed the distributor cap so the car wouldn't start when he tried to take it. His cousin tells Joe and Joe visits Stephanie during her evening shower. He raids her house but before he handcuffs her to the shower curtain rod so she wouldn't interfere with him finding the distributor cap. He left her there with the phone so she could call for help after an unsuccessful search of her apartment. This part in the story was so funny to read that I fell down out of my chair, bursting into laughter. This book so far has comedy, suspense, real life situations, drama, romance and a entertaining plot. I can't wait to continue reading further into the story.
