What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

This weekend was extremely busy for me. On Friday, right after school, I had to go volunteer at the Valley Park Elementary Carnival. It was a lot of fun because I did it with two of my friends. All the little kids were so adorable. The hours went by really fast, but it was still tiring keeping an eye on everyone. On Saturday, I had to wake up and make cookies for a picnic we were going to that day. The first batch didn't come through right so we had to start all over again. It took a couple hours but they came out close to perfectly and they were a big hit at the picnic. The picnic was overall boring because only old people were there and it lasted till 9. Sunday was probably the most chill day for me. I went to church, and I got to talk with some of my old friends there. After that, I watched the Patriots game for a bit, but couldn't catch the end of it because I had to leave for orchestra practice. At least the Patriots won though! Orchestra was also really enjoyable. They even gave us ice cream and we could decorate it anyway we would like. Of course I put mountains of sprinkles and m and ms on mine. After that, I just Skyped my friend in New Jersey and finished up some homework before I went to bed.

Below is one of my favorite quotes that I found on Pinterest. Think read and think about what this says and then blog about it. What does this quote mean to you? Elaborate! Feel free to give an example of tell a story.

There's an infinite amount of things to discover. Its all just about how you look at it. I mean I bet you've seen that one normal looking house on the end of your street and that's about all you think of it, but there's so much more you can do with that. Remember when you were 4 years old and a metal pot on your head made you a knight in shining armor or your swimming pool was actually an infinite ocean of boiling lava. Well who says you still can't think like that. There's so many different ways to look at things, why would you just want to focus on one? Why just sit there and stare at a wall when instead you can look at a wall and imagine what you want that wall to become. There's so many things to do this in this world from traveling the world to finding the cure to some terminal endless. Why just sit there complaining about why you have nothing to do when you can make a difference and make your mark.

How do you express your creativity? Explain.

I love to express my creativity through writing. By writing I can express all my feelings into words. It's really freeing overall because you can write anything you want and let go of all the negative feelings you are holding on to. You can do anything in a short story or a novel. You can create a whole new world, create yourself into a whole other person. You can skip to the future or visit the past. Writing gives you the option to make the perfect world you want to live in.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

On Saturday I was rudely woken up by my parents because I was dragged all the way to a violin shop on the back of some random person's house. To be honest, I was actually pretty scared because the house was rundown and in the middle of nowhere. There was even a cat prowling around it. My violin teacher met us there so we could get my new setup. I needed a new chin rest and neck rest because if I continue playing violin with the one I have I could possibly severely injure my spine. We were stuck waiting outside the small shop for half an hour until we realized that the owner was out of town. I was not a happy camper. But my parents made it all better by buying me gummy bears because who doesn't like gummy bears. After that, I mostly chilled the rest of the day either doing parts of my homework or reading a book. On Sunday, I had to wake up again and go to church and then after that I had church orchestra practice. It was all tiring but still fun. Sunday night was spent doing last minute homework and then going to bed early because I was exhausted from all that waking up.

*Old Man Voice*
These days, those young-ins, all they doing is playing on their glowing contraptions. What are they called again. Those tellyphones? When I was a child, all I needed was two dollars in my pocket and I would go catch me a baseball game with some of my ol' buds. We be talking, not twitting on twitter or saying nonsense on that bookface website. Those whipper snappers need to be told off. They ain't gettin nothin done these days. Them kids don' even walk themselves to school. When I was their age, I had to walk 6 miles to my school and from school every mornin' and every evenin. I would wake up at 4 in the mornin just to milk the family cows and then go straight to work after school. Those kids need to learn the meaning of real work.

Tell me about what you have learned in this class so far. Have you learned a lot? Do you want to learn more? What do you want to be able to do by the end of the semester?

I have learned a lot in this class. I learned everything from from creating a blog like this one to HTML. In HTML, I learned about how to link pictures and words, how to change the background color and font color, and I learned how to make lists. I definitely want to learn more, especially in CSS. I want to learn how to decorate my website and make it look more sleek and original. I also want to learn more about making things more interactive on my website and the smaller more specific things that go into make a good website.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!

I didn't actually do much over my labor day weekend. I mostly just stayed home and slept. I finally started the Revenge of Seven by Pittacus Lore. I only got a couple pages in though because finding time to read has gotten a lot harder since high school started. I also had extra time last weekend to just write for a bit which was also fun. Its been forever since I have so it felt pretty nice. I also had time to practice my violin pieces that I had been ignoring for the past month, they still need more work though. On the other hand, Labor Day was pretty stressful though. I spent the other days ignoring my homework so it all piled it up on Monday. I also had 3 tests to study for which is always frustrating, but hey, I got through them! It was definitely nice having down time though. Even if I could have, I don't  I would have gone anywhere because I had needed to catch up on my sleep anyways.
