Duradangos

So I just finished my duradango (ball of dirt) today. It just started as dirt, mud and clay and now it's a pretty cool ball of dirt. I guess the regular recipe is made with poop but we weren't allowed to use poop. Darn ;) I think I did a good job with mine, it's pretty circular and has nice color but unfortunately it won't shine up like everyone else's. But I like it. Honestly from the beginning I wasn't too big on the idea but now that it's done it's pretty cool. I would do it again for sure.file:///Users/berkeytaylor/Desktop/Photo%2022.jpg

This is my dreamboard.

SPRING BREAK 2010

I have to say Spring Break this year was the best so far. The past spring break vacations haven't been as good as this one, I didn't hang out with anyone, didn't hit up the beach and I had no one to spend it with. This one was different though.

This year I have made some amazing new friends, so I had more people to hang out with and more things to do. I went to the beach a few times with friends and went out to eat a lot. Since I don't drive my friend Kendra and I took the MCAT Bus to the beach which was quite an adventure....we took the wrong bus haha but it was a lot of fun and we got to the beach eventually. I also have family from New York that came down. 3 kids between the ages of 7 and 2. That's a party.

The best part of it all though was that I spent time with my new boyfriend Alex :D Yes. I did. I had a boyfriend last spring break but that was a very different story. This was different. He took me out to play mini golf, the Wing House, and to a few parties. I'm one of those people that likes to have someone to spend time with. I think I finally found that at the perfect time. That time with him meant a lot to me. Awwwww.

So to wrap it all up, this break was the best and I'm glad it was because this was the last spring break of my High School career. Kind of makes me sad but I have so much more to look forward to. I hope everyone had a good spring break. Class of 2010.

I AM POEM....

I am alone and damaged

I wonder if I will escape this feeling

I hear truth and lies in my mind

I see myself breaking

I want to fee my soul

I am alone and damaged

I pretend that I am okay

I fee like the only victim

I touch my broken lips

I worry that he'll come back

I cry by myself

I am alone and damaged

I understand it's not my fault

I say nothing

I dream of being healed

I try to break out of this nightmare

I hope one day I can

I am alone and damaged.

Challenge #3

I live in the sunshine state.

Where the sky is always blue.

Where the ocean in clear as glass.

Where oranges are always ripe.

And where the sun always shines.

Pictures?

Ugh, this is a complicated subject kinda. I have a picture of myself on my facebook and my myspace but not on here, not like I wouldn't I just haven't gotten around to putting one on here. I know there are lots of creepy men/women out there but as long as the picture is appropriate, it's not like you are asking for it so I think it's alright. The thing with myspace is that not everyone can see your myspace cause they have to be accepted as your friend, same thing with facebook. On here anyone can see this is we should be cautious, but pictures are okay to have on here. I also think that at our age we know right from wrong and what's smart and what's dumb, we can handle it :D

FREE POST!

Today I get to pick my own topic to write about. I'm going to write about the pressures of senior year. I've been really stressed out lately mostly about school related stuff. I've been under a lot of pressure from my family, as if I don't put enough pressure on myself! I think when people talk about senior year they make it sound a lot more carefree than it really is. People talk about parties, grad night, graduation and all that stuff but you never really think about all the other things that have to be done in between. Around October I took the ACT and I did pretty good, in December I took the SAT. I bombed it to say the least. This means I will either have to take it again or just resort to taking the CPT ( college placement test). Applying for colleges was a struggle to. My family has made lots of decisions for me in the past years of my life, and that didn't stop them from basically choosing where I'm going to college. I got accepted to SCF a.k.a. MCC. I wasn't too thrilled about it. If I had my choice I would go somewhere FAR AWAY FROM HOME. But that didn't happen. I got one family member that wants me to go to Julliard, another wants me to go to USF and another wants me to go to SCF. Geesh. Too much at once. I figure I will go to SCF for a two years and then transfer where I WANT TO GO. My mom is the kind of mother that feels the need to hold my hand through everything. If that's the way things are going to go from here on out I will never be able to learn anything. I want to be more independent ( hence, wanting to go far away for college) Ugh, either way I have a lot on my plate right now. I don't even know what career path I want to go in. Medicine, education, computers, music, insurance ect. I want to pick a field that get me good money cause in this day and age, money is more important now. So yea, senior year has been fun. I made awesome new friends, got to take fun classes and have good memories to take with me but when I get home, there is no time to relax. Right back to work I go. If I could give any advice it would be that just because this is your senior year, don't think fora second that you have the right to slack off. Senioritis is a terrible disease. Work your buns off till you can't anymore. It will all pay off sooner than later.
