Gone Fishin

This weekend I got to go fishing at the Anderson Pond. We gathered our fishing poles and worms and headed down to the pond. I consider myself a pretty good fisherman but don't have much luck with catching any fish. But this time was different. I put my worm on and threw my line out into the water. About 30 seconds later a fish started messing with worm and the next thing I know I'm reeling in a bluegill. Of course everyone was jealous of my catch. So, I got another worm and threw it back out. This time I waited a lot longer and got tired so I began to real it in and all of a sudden something took my bobber under water and I had me a fish. But something was different about this one, it was a lot harder to get in. I struggled and finally saw that it was no bluegill. I pulled it out of the water and it was a huge bass! I had never caught anything like this before and I was supper pumped. I had also never touched a fish before but really wanted to take a picture. So, after 10 minutes of freaking out to touch it I finally grabbed it by the lip and held it up for a picture. Again, everyone was mad that I was catching all the fish. That fishing experience was one of the best and I came out satisfied.

Frankenstein

The book Frankenstein at this point is really hard to get into. The first few chapters are really boring and just gives background information. I am hoping as I continue to read it will get more interseting. I know Mrs. McDaniel has talked highly of this book so it should be a good one. The first Chapter gives the family decription and it kind of reminds me of my own family life. Victor's dad takes in his niece after his sister dies and it relates back to my family because we have family members living with each other for different reasons. I like the language that Frankenstein is written in, I know at times it might be confusing but it allows you to go deeper into what the author is saying. So, I am excited to see who Victor becomes later in the book.

Spring Break

Well this year I was invited to go to Florida on spring break but that got change when things came up. So I am most likely going to be staying at home catching up on some sleep that I have missed over the past few weeks. I will be laying around and probably running the whold time. My memaw did mention that we might go to Chicago for a couple of days to visit some family but that was about it. The next weekend (end of spring break) will be my birthday and there will be lots of things going on. We have a track meet that Sat at WKU which I am really excited about. So I guess I don't have that bad of a spring break planned out but it isn't like I got to go to Florida though.

SPRiNG!

I love when spring roles around because of the beautiful flowers that come with it. So far we have had some cold days and then some hott days. I can't wait till the weather makes up it's mind about the temperature. It is always my favorite time of the year to run outside because the weather is just right, you care wear shorts and a t-shirt and be comfortable. With spring time also comes Easter. Last year my Birthday was on Easter and this year it's the weekend before it. I love Easter and the food that we eat. Everyone always comes over to our house to dinner and there is always plenty to eat. It's usually a tradition that the little kids will go out and search for easter eggs but the past years it has rained so let's hope for no rain this year. But my very most favorite thing about the spring is going out on the swing and reading, writing, or just swinging and thinking about anything that comes to mind. I love SPRING!

Macbeth-Reflection

I really enjoyed reading the play Macbeth. At first it started off really boring but then caught my eye as the story went on. I was so glad that you stop through out the play to make sure that we understood it clearly. The best part about reviewing the play was when you assigned the Quote Annotations. I thought that this might be a hard task and I would struggle but to come and find out I really liked it. I felt like I could actually relate to some of the quotes and understood what Shakespeare was saying. For our end of the play project we were all told to make a scrapbook of the Act that we were assigned. This was very interesting and I had a lot of fun doing it. I had a great group and we all work really well together. I know that we couldn't meet after school because of sports and work but we made sure to get it done and made it look really good. I was happy with our finishing product and hope who ever sees it enjoys it too. So overall I really liked this unit and can't wait for Frankenstein.

Track Season

The track season has officially began and started off on a good foot. We have been practicing since December and it has paid off. Our first track meet was a success and everyone performed great, I am proud of the ladies and their effort. This season started off a little rocky because we had a few girls decide to quit and it worried me that we weren't going to be as good as we usually are. But I was proven wrong, the girls really stepped up and realized that everyone counts and is needed to help the team. It doesn't matter if we aren't the best at running, one thing we do have is a family. Our team sticks together and we are there for one another. I love coming to practice and knowing that I can be myself and not worry what the girls might say. We are a group of goofy girls that love being silly. This year we have a few new girls that are really catching on and just giving it their all everyday no matter what. So, this season I am really excited to see how we are going to do as a team because I have high hopes that we will do GREAT!

The Newest Member

So recently my family has gained a new member. This is was a complete surprise to everyone in the family and we were all shocked to get the news. Well the story starts with my brother calling and telling me that he is thinking about getting married. I didn't even know that he had a girlfriend so this was kind of strange to me. He began to tell me how wonderful this girl was and they both really wanted to get married and have a life together. I was excited for him of course but didn't completely agree because I haven't met the girl and I always have to approve of them. After telling the whole family that he was engage, we began to plan a wedding and I was going to be a bridesmaid. All excited to be in a wedding on the beach was quickly shot down. About a week or two later my grandmother received a text message from my brother telling me that he got married. Now this really blew us away. First he gets engaged to a girl we have never met then goes and gets married with out his family. A few family members were upset with his decision but I took it as if, if this is what he really wanted then it's his choice and I will support it. So, this weekend they are both traveling from Virginia for the whole family to meet the newest member of the Stodghill family.
