Outside Reading

I am currently reading "Unwind" by an author I can't seem to remember the name of, but I'll post his name in the comments once I figure it out. "Unwind" is about three teens who are destined to be "unwound" or "taken apart, while still living."
 I can't wait to get farther into the book, because I finally found a book that meets my standards for "a good book." I would reccomend this book to freshman and sophomores, because it is on that level. It is set in 3rd person omnicient, so sometimes it is hard to understand.

Saturday-Sunday 200 minutes.

My Cousin

 So this week, my cousin Lexi is over, and she'll be shadowing me on Monday. She is a sophomore that goes to a high school in Illinois. I can't wait for some of you to meet her. I think the ones that do meet her and have classes with me will get along with her very nicely. 

 Lexi is my absolute favourite cousin.  She is a lot like me. She is very funny and is very outgoing. I believe that she will enjoy her Monday at EHS, and I hope all of you will welcome her there as well 

Play Practice

Play practice was okay tonight. It dragged on for what seemed like 5 hours, when it was only two. I enjoy working with the EHS play community, as it's really fun. I hope to continue doing backstage work for the upcoming EHS plays.
 I messed up again today but I'll have to write down what I have to do at certain times. Actually, it's not the timing, its just where to put the wall. Ginny is helping me with that though. I can't wait for Wednesday night through Friday night! Y'all should come see the play!

Sound Of Music

  So Mr. Ponjuan asked me to work backstage for the upcoming play "The Sound Of Music" that EHS is putting on  for the 21-23 of March. I had my first play practice on Friday, and it was my first time doing anything on set, and I believe I did pretty well for not knowing what to do. 

 I have another play practice at 4:30 till 8, and hopefully I'll be able to do better than last time. I really hope I'll be able to remember exactly what to do when the real thing comes about. Wish me luck!

Next Weekend (:

 So, next weekend is the 17th. Elan dance (: But the weekend after that, my best friend-cousin is coming from Illinois (: I'm really excited. Lexi and I are just like each other and we get along really well. This summer we plan to do Chambre Winds at LSU for a camp-thing.
 I'm very excited that Lexi is coming over because I haven't seen her since the summer, probably even earlier. Maybe one day I'll bring her to school (: She's a sophomore, but, whatever (:

Might be joining the Poetry Team? Maybe?

So I've been thinking about joining the poetry team. I'm still not sure if I want to because I already have a lot on my hands right now, and I need to focus on school work. I've been told that I'm great at poetry and I should really join a team or something, so here's my chance.
 I still don't know if I want to or not, I don't want to look like a total nerd. But it does sound fun. I like writing in my free time (although I rarely have it anymore) and maybe this would be good for me to get my mind off of things. (:

Outside Reading

 I didn't enjoy Nervous Conditions too much. I have yet to read Ch. 10, but I have a feeling it's not going to be a great ending. I never really got into the book, like I do with other genres such as action or horror. The book was very confusing and I didn't understand it too much.
 The book went by extremely slow for me. It was boring, and didn't catch my attention much at all. I had trouble staying focused on the book, which is not a good thing. I would forget certain parts that might have been important that I didn't catch. Overall, I give this book 2/5 stars. Not too great for the action/thriller/horror book kind of person.

Watching TV with a Chicken in a Plastic Bag.

So this weekend I decided to get out of the house. I didn't go to the barn because my horses' feet hurt bad. I went to my aunts house instead. My aunt Sheila has chickens in her backyard so I did some good ol' farm work. She owns three chickens-Waffles, Cupcake, and Bonnie.
 First, I gathered their eggs. Waffles, the mean chicken, tried to attack me.. Well, I had to put her in the coop to keep from pecking my legs. I brought them into the house and put them in the refrigerator. When I got finished feeding, seeding, and cleaning the coop, I got bored with watching TV. So I decided to bring Cupcake, the nice chicken inside. My aunt said to put her in a bag so in case she had to go to the bathroom she wouldn't do it all over the house. So there I was, watching TV with a chicken in a plastic bag.
