Valentine's Day

The card and candy industry has kinda blown this holiday out of proportion. This holiday is pretty much a Hallmark holiday. I wouldn't say this holiday is very important because why show your love on one day when you can so it everyday of the year. I'm really not sure if it is a holiday. If you don't have someone special for Valentine's day I would save your money if it was me. You could give it to your mom and dad if you would like. They could be your Valentine. I really wasn't a fan of Valentine's Day in elementary, but if I had to pick something special about it I would pick getting candy from people.

My weekend

Well Saturday I went shopping with my mom in the morning. At two I went to Chad's house and hung out over there. Sunday I did chores around the house and shot some hoops out side for a little while. After my dad got out of work we went to my grandparents and split wood. We had dinner with them and watched the Supper bowl.

Photography

I am an average photographer. I don't know a lot about photography, so I'm not very experienced. I am expecting to learn a lot about photography and how to make pictures look better. I have the basic skills of photo taking, so hopefully I can learn more complex skills.

Exams

I think I did pretty well on exams. I haven't seen all my exams, but I have a pretty good feeling I did well. I do and don't think we should have mandatory exams. I do believe we should have them because they will prepare us for exams in college. The one thing I don't like about them though is that we have to take three exams in one day. In college very few students have to take three exams in one day. Its a lot of stress to put on a high school student. The exams were very comprehensive, some were difficult because it was hard to remember what we did in the first month of school.This made me study a lot. I probably studied at least four to six hours a day for them.

My Weekend

Well this weekend I helped my dad and sister rip up the store floor. We found newspapers buried under the wood from 1931. They were actually pretty interesting to look at. I went to see War Horse on Saturday with Chad. We ate at Bob Evans afterward where I saw Mrs. Chambers. On Sunday, I hauled sand into the store by five gallon buckets.

Christmas Break

I had an awesome break. Except for Christmas day where we split wood the whole day. I had Christmas at my Grandma's on the 23rd. I was invited to the Simpkin's Christmas which was on the 24. Over break I relaxed and spent time with my family and friends. Most nights I was lucky to go to bed by midnight, but I slept in so that was nice. We had an all night shoot the first day of break. The team had a great time, we laughed and joked a lot, but we still got done what we needed to. Overall Christmas break was full of laughter, love, activities, relaxing, and family time.

Christmas Holiday

During Christmas break I am going to my grandma's house for Christmas. We will have Christmas on December 23 at grandma's and celebrate Christmas on Christmas for my intermediate family. We might go to the lights in heratage and I still have to figure out when Chad and I are going to exchange our gifts. Break should be a busy and eventful. As for my favorite Christmas cookie I'm not sure. I have many =). If i had to pick one I would say holiday sugar cookies.
