Europe

2009-05-09T20:33:00.000-07:00

The one place i would love to go is Europe. I know that's kinda broad but i cant really chose a specific location where i would want to go. The places there are so interesting and historical. I think the whole continent is the most beautiful place in the world. I have seen so many pictures and researched so many places that would be amazing to go to. I hope that one day i will be able to go there and see the beautiful places that is has to offer. I just cant wait to really see what it really is all about. Our culture has come from there and we have adopted so many things. That place just seems kinda like a dream. you just walk around everywhere and it is just amazing to see everything. i honestly cant wait to go and really see what it is like.

these past two weeks have kinda been crazy. I just think it is so weird that we have like month of school left and i have so many projects due. But whatever i just hope that it goes by fast and SUMMER comes soon. i just can't wait till summer it is going to be fun and i don't think i have wanted summer to come so bad. I just can't wait to chill around and do like nothing. haha no way i will be moving very fast every day for 24 hours 7 days a week. oh it is going to be truly amazing.

over population

2009-04-25T15:27:00.000-07:00

If the country i lived in was over populated i would give the free passports and visas and let them have the option of staying in an Alli country. Now you may think oh where are the people going to stay and how are you going to get them to leave. But my solution to that is we would build hostels and allow the people to find jobs in that city. They would have the option of leaving the hostile whenever they found a place to stay or a job that could support the family. Now i know when i give the country the option to do this it has major complications, but in order to allow the country to breath or get back on it feet. This doesn't necessarily mean that the country is in need of a change but it would defiantly kind of give them a start over. These people might want to stay but i think that when they are given job opportunities and a place to stay they will want to move to a new country. I know that when you come from somewhere you have always been i know that it will be hard, but people are suffering hard times and that maybe a fresh new would be exactly what they want. I don't really know if this would solve many of the problems but it would defiantly give the country and its people a new and fresh start that would or could make all of their problems disappear. i mean job opportunities will make everything they want a lot better because they wont have to worry about it when they first arrive. The country will be paying for how they get their where they stay and who all is going to help them with finding a job. It may sound crazy but it could really help every one out in a big way!!!

Genocide

2009-04-13T14:55:00.000-07:00

this genocide was so terrible but i think the main people to blame were the militia. they were doing what the government told them but they took it way to far. they have been killing inocent people but what have they done is terrible. things in that country have been taking it to far. I mean how do you stop a mass murdering of inocent civilians when it has been going on for years. these milita men have mad life so hard and the world want's nothing to do with it. We promised as countries to never let something like that ever happen again. well it did and now we have a real problem that is leading to so many things. So thats why i blame the militia for exploding things into a big situation that we promised to never do agian. i mean the government is in really big trouble, china has gotten involed and has caused a lot of trouble, and then theres the inocent civilians that have had their lives end. Not to mention the thousands of rapes of women. This has gone way to far and i dont know how it is ever going to end but those people need help and we caint just stand by and watch it happen. i mean people are starving and their water is toxic. Now they have to go in to Chad and there have been reports that they are going into chad. This is getting out of controle.

Taylor Swift

2009-03-27T18:55:00.000-07:00

My favorite artist is taylor swift because she writes all of her songs through heart. I love the way a lot of her personal experiences are in her songs. I recently went to a concert of hers and befor every song she explained why she wrote it. Although most of her songs are about breakups or boys she really means what she says. I love her attitude towards the way things have turned out for her. She really appreciant every thing around her. When her fans make signs that say how meaningful she is she really charishes it. I love her take on life. It wasnt easy at all to become what she is. But when it happend she loved it more than anything. I know i sound like i actually know her but when i have seen her in interviews she really seams down to earth and a really cool person. At the concert she said "hi im taylor, class of 08 and i have never been in front of this many people". There where 73,000 people there. It was so AMAZING!!!!!!

What I love

2009-03-06T16:32:00.000-08:00

I have always been very passionate about sports. My favorite is football. If i could i would coach but its not the job for a girl. So i am going to to the second best thing Sports Casting. I makes sports my job and thats exactly what i want. Sports keeps me excited, i am always happy when i am watching sports. I love going to football games, it is the best expericace to me. They keep me wanting more. Sports has always been a part of my life. I was always the quarterback when we would go see my moms familly. Sports is the best for me. I love it.

These past two weeks have been very fun. I have been playing a lot of tennis. It has been really fun. I have been spending a lot of time with my friends and family. I went on a ski trip with my best friend and it was a blast. Well i guess thats all i have to say. Thanks for reading.

Learning to Love!!!!!

2009-02-20T18:27:00.000-08:00

I think it is for sure great to learn how to love. When you feel love you have for someone that is never going away when you learnt to love. You have to really belive what your heart is telling you and if it is saying this is the person then you are beging to learn. I think with julets situation she had no choice and the way they did it back then was so difficault you never got to choose who you love. So now that we have that opertunity you have to know what love is and just put in to so many ways you caint describe it. With love it is going to be something you charish and never ever let that go.

The last couple of weeks i have been hangging. We had a four day weekend and i went sking and it was great. I have really just been with my friends seeing movies and fun stuff like that. School has been great so yeah i have just been having a good time. thanks for reading.

Global Waming

2009-02-04T18:50:00.001-08:00

Well to be honest i am a big believer that it is in fact global warming that is killing our planet. I don't get people who just think there is nothing going on up there in our atmosphere. We as people living need to understand that it is major thing that happening and if we make it worse it is not going to be pretty. I think we all need to think like cars, trains, tucks and many more things with theirs gas and fuel are just as easily harming this planet. I know as us being humans we think we are something special and the things we do are not at all something we question but it is in fact something we all need to question. If nothing is going to change then we as a planet, people or the next generations to come are going to be history.

As for my reflection on the past two weeks things have been really good. I have been making 100 in 3 of my classes and are making a's on my math test and that is a really big thing for me. The last time i blogged i was having a little difficulties with this friend but its all worked out and thigs are going to be fine. I am really enjoying life and caint wait till next week because i am going skiiing. haha yayyyyyyyyy

well thanks for reading

technology

2009-01-26T15:16:00.000-08:00

for my school i usually use the Internet but i also really do love to use the TV. it is a big part of my life because i have to use it for school. i don't know what i would do without it is such a big part of my life i couldn't picture it without the Internet becuase you can go to google or wherever and it will give you any answer you put into the computer. it is such a good thing for me because i love to see if there is any gossip on new movies or stuff like that.

the last two weeks have been a little strange but i have been ok. school has been going really well. its always good to go back to school. not nessesaraly for the school but i get to see all my friends and that is always good for me. i love that we can see eachother again and we are just the same. i caint wait to spend more time with all of my friends. well thank you so much for reading my blog there will be more to come very soon.

Diversity

2008-12-06T17:10:00.000-08:00

Yes,
I would say the United States is one of the most Diverse country in the world. With all of our freedoms we have that means there are tons of cultures we share with people. There is a big population of Mexicans and African American. Along with the big white population there are many more that we as Americans share with each other. In different parts of the country there are different kind of cultures, religions, etc. In New York there is a big Jewish population. In Texas and along the southern border there are many Mexicans. In California there are a lot of Asian people. When you walk around in a big city like LA or New York City you will see faces of different races religions and languages. You will walk around and never realize that there are different religions and languages. People have enjoyed coming to America for the jobs the opportunities in American. They are very important and people really tend to love in here. We have and amazing amount of immigrants and that just adds to the amount of people and cultures and religions and languages that just adds to the diversity we have in this country. That shows people in the world we respect many people that look different and speak different and are all around different. We invite them in!!!!

My Favorite Place

2008-11-13T17:53:00.000-08:00

So if i had to chose anywhere in the united states to love more than anything it would definitely be New York City. The feel of a fast moving city is what i love. The fashion doesn't get any better than what it is up there. Its cold and hot perfect for all of the right outfits. The feel of this town is exactly where someone like me would love to be. There are so many things that make it unbelievably amazing. There is Broadway which puts on the best plays you will probably ever see. The museums are amazing showing art and and passion of the culture up there. The food is amazing. From seafood to Italian and Chinese. And the friends up there is so amazing because they love this place as much i do. This city is fast moving and never sleeps its perfect for me.

Terrorist

2008-11-01T16:28:00.000-07:00

Yes, we do unfortunally have terrorist attacks in our country. It is such a big problem that we have and as a country we face that fact very harshly. Take for instance the world trade centers being attacked. It took not only us as a country by attack but it shook the world a little. You begin to think what is wronge with this world and then you come to reality and relize that there are harsh people in the world and there is nothing in the world you can do to change that.

As a country we have done some moves that I feel are not the best for our country. Like going to war with a country that we think needs help but it doesnt. We think that because we are this power country that everybody bows down to us when the truth is they have attacked us for a reason. I am not trying to completly say that our country makes terrible decisoins but when it come to making the right choices you cant help but really think that we need to do whats best not spend the most money and of course protects our citizens.

We are trying to prevent terriorst by constonly looking out for what we think is going to be a potiential thret. I have no idea what is the main reason but for me we need to prevent it but relize that the terriorsm has to me kept sneeky in order to prevent it. Thank you for reading.

School

2008-10-18T22:31:00.000-07:00

My school is so fun. There are so many cool things to do. I am a member of leadership council where we do a lot of fun stuff for our school. I reasently went to the homecoming dance which is once a year and is a lot of fun. Do you have any thing like that? They had fun music and you got to be with your friends. I love how free you feel when you are at school. I can eat anywhere at lunch . Go to the library whenever I want and it is so nice. I love all of the cool things at my school. If you have any cool things please share them with me.

Immigrants

2008-10-02T18:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, we do have illegal immigrants. It is a true problem that we deal with as a country. They are coming from Mexico. All of these people who cross the border and come to the United States just want a better life. I realize that people in Mexico don't get the ideal things you need to survive. Coming here is a great place for that, but it makes it twice as hard because then we have to deal with it. Now, I live in Texas so this issue is especially big for us because we are a target on were they cross. All they have to do is cross the Rio Grande. Now as us being the state of Texas we have come up with a few ways we can solve these problems. The first thing that we thought of as a country was a 24/7 police watch on the Rio Grande. Meaning we have booths set up on the border cities that have police watching. The other thing that we as a state have decided is we with build a fence on the border. Now that was a very good a idea but when it comes to reality these people will do whatever they can to get to these place because they want a better life.
I mean these people will take rides to they border. And they pay these people who take them as close to the border and then they will pay them. What i am trying to say is that these Mexican people try to do what they really can to have the best life possible because it is very hard for them to live like that.

SUMMER

2008-09-19T05:14:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, so today I am going to tell you a little bit about my summer. It was a blast of course. There was no homework, no waking up early and just relaxing and hanging with friends and family. The first thing i did to start off my summer was swim team. I swim for the Westover Wild Orcas. That was so much fun. I love swimming and being with my friends. It is a blast to get to have fun and be with your friends doing something you enjoy. I did that till about the end of June. I then worked for a little at a camp which was great. I was working with little kids and playing with them. We did stations like bounce, creation station, field fun, gymnastics, play scape, cooking, and arts and crafts. That is probably one of my favorite things about summer.

I the beginning of August we went on a trip to Mexico with two of our closes families. We went to Sam Miguel de Allende. It is a little town in the mountains of Mexico with a very European feel to it. It is so beautiful. When you see the city you just kinda sink into this la la land because it is so beautiful. We would spend our days shopping wondering around the city. Come back to have lunch, relax a little and then stay out late that night at some restaurant. It was so pretty very inviting and I cant wait to go back. That was such a fun experince for me. When I travle I love it so much. It is one of my favorite things to do.

See you guys next time.

A Little Bit About Me

2008-09-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, my name is Erin and i am from Austin, Texas. I am a huge football fan (not soccer). I love to be outdoors and be adventures. Austin is such a good place to do that we have a ton of woods where you can hike around. Anther great thing is to walk around downtown and look at all the buildings and the shops. Speaking of shops, I love to shop like no other. I love fashion, my favorite designers are Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, and Steve Madden. These designers pretty much keep me moving everyday. They motivate me to do well in life and to keep succeeding.

One of the things i am most proud of is how close my family and I are. We do as much as we can together. I will tell them a lot of things in my life. When I am scared I will cry to them, when i am lonely they will be there for me but most of all they are always there to love and care for me which is all I really need. I love that my parents have raised me well enough to know what is good and bad. They have shown me to live life to the fullest and to never hold back. To make as many friends and only be yourself everyday of your life. Along with having an amazing family i have the best friends in the whole entire world. I can complain to any of them and they will always be there to listen. When i am sad they are there to comfort me. The best thing of all is when we are together we are having the time of our lives. So my friends are basicly my go to for advice if i can't get it from my parents. I love them all.

Now my school may be diffrent from all of yours but we have one thing in common they are the best years. I am someone who struggles in school and i have to work very hard to get good grades. I wish it were diffrent where i could just read the book and know it all but no i have to do it the hard way. I love all the freedom we have. All the teachers are very inviting and want you to succead. I really don't like all the homework but its worth it because you learn all the material. It's also so exciting to be in high school. You feal so grown up it is so amazing.

well thanks for reading talk to you guys soon.
