April 21 Very windy latelyIt's practically always windy in Cali, but it's gotten even stronger. The Santa Martina Start reported that winds were like 45 mph, and you could tell when power was disrupted at school for a moment. Everyone in English class thought, "Yay! No lights, no work!" Unfortunately, the back-up generators kicked back in, and we had to go back to work. We're reading The Great Gatsby btw.
I've also been preparing for the Earth Day celebration at school tomorrow. This year, we're going to have an in-school Earth Day celebration for at least an hour, during the end of the day. There's going to be sort of like a 'fair' type of thing set up, and there's going to be natural snacks and drinks, games (about the environment of course), and we're going to go around the campus picking up litter, a tree planting, and the start of a new horticultural garden. Sounds kinda fun. I love the environment, and I do think it is important to protect it as well as possible. It isn't even hard; it's just that people are often so lazy, or the government sometimes make it hard.
Well that's about it so far. I'm planning on wearing green tomorrow. April 15 Had a great birthday bashJust to cut it short, my birthday surprise turned out to be a hot air balloon ride around the tri-county area. It was spectacular! I could see my school, the senior high-rise, the mountains not so far in the distance, the ocean somewhat farther away, and the panoramic view was just breath-taking. I might go again if I have the money.
We had a BBQ, and it was a nice big bash. I got some nice presents, and luckily, mostly everybody gave me a present that was either small or in the form of cash or gift cards. I don't have a lot of room in Gram's apartment, so anything else would be good.
I also got a 100 on my Pre-Calculus test. Yahoo! April 03 Can't wait for my birthday tomorrow! Surprise coming.My birthday is this Saturday, and I just can't wait to see what's in store for me. I was surprised this morning, while digging through Gram's soggy oatmeal that she made, when Grams told me that we were going to go someplace special for my birthday. Usually, my birthday's are typically at home or something not that remarkable, so my interest is peaked. I'm not having super high hopes, but I really hope it is something pretty awesome. |
