Week 6A - What's In a Name?

Soo my real name is Abbigail, so I looked that up. Abbigail means “my father is joy” from the Hebrew name Avigayil. Weird. I’m not Hebrew-ish, so I don’t know why they named me that. But in English, Abbigail was a popular name for the Puritans. That’s cool I guess.
At first my mom and dad were going to named me Hannah. But when my mom had me, she looked at me and was like “She looks like an Abbey”, so I was named Abbey :) If I was a boy, I think my name was going to be Tyler or Austin or something like that. I like my name, just because it’s spelled different from everyone else. Cause I got an E in mine. :)

Week 5A - If I Were A..

Oh gosh. This should be fun :)

If I were a superhero, I would be Spiderman, but like a girl version of him. Even though I HATE spiders. He’s cool and he can fling webs out of his hand.
If I were a type of food, I would be something sweet and colorful. I’m sweet, and I like colorful thing :) Soo maybe like fruits or something.
If I were a color, I would be like a bright neon pink! I LOVE the color pink. It’s cute and everyone likes it.
If I were a type of music, I would want to be something fun and makes you wanna dance. I’m a fun person and I like to have fun, so I would be fun music :)
If I were a type of car, I would be something cute. Like a cute like red sports car convertible type of thing :) That would be fun!

Hmmm. That’s all I can think of :)

Week 4A – Nature vs. Nurture

I think that nurture has a huge influence on how we are. Yeah, genetics give you like looks and your eye color or hair color and a little of your personality. But it seems like a lot of it has to do with who you are around and hang out with. Liiike if you hang out with bad, mean people, chances are you’re bad and mean too. Or if you hang out with really nice and cool people, you’re going to be pretty nice and cool too. :)
Like, all my friends that I hang out with, we all act pretty much the same. But if I’m with someone I don’t really hang out or talk to a lot, it seems like we have kind of different personalities.

Week 3A – A Star is Born!

If I could star in any kind of movie that I wanted to I would star in a funny one. I laugh a lot so it would be fun :) My co-stars would be Will Smith, cause he’s funny, and Dave Chappelle, cause I guess he’s funny too! Hmm. My wardrobe would be normal clothes that people wear. We would be shooting the movie somewhere warm like Florida or some other cool state. Maybe even on a beach in Mexico. I don’t think I would learn any martial arts stuff cause I’m not to good at kicking my legs in the air or what ever they do. I would leave that all up to Will Smith and the Chappelle guy.

Week 2A – Happy Halloween! :)

Halloween is soo much fun! Every year I have gone trick or treating and I think this year might be the first year to not go. It’s super sad, but oh welll. Hmm. My favorite two costumes I ever had was being an old lady and an oompa loompa! :)
I was in 7th grade when I was an old lady and 8th grade when I was an oompa loompa. For the old lady, I just wore old lady clothes and drew wrinkles on my face. Being an oompa loompa was soo much funner though. I went with my two friends Taylor and Taylor. We painted our faces orange and got hair paint stuff and painted our hair green. We wore brown shirt and socks and white pants and gloves. We looked exactly like them except we were just a little bit taller. :)

Week 1A – Music That Defines Me

I listen to a lot of different types of music. Like country, rap or hip-hop stuff, or the alternative kind of stuff like Boys Like Girls or… I can’t think of anything else. But that kind of music. When I’m in a good mood, I’ll usually listen to the music that makes you wanna dance, like hip-hop. Or rap, yo. :) Or when I’m sad I’ll listen to the slow alternative whatever or country music. What the music says about me is that I like many different things and depending what mood I’m in, I’ll listen to that type of music. Other generations will probably look back at the type of music I listen to and think what I think about my parents music, which is dumb and sounds very old.

Week 6 - Every Setback has an Opportunity for a Comeback

This has happened to me a couple of times. In 8th grade, I tried out for the dance team just for the heck of it. Even though I didn’t make it, I ended up liking it. I took dance lessons with my friend after that. A year later, I was trying to decide if I was going to try out for the team again. Not making it was a huge setback for me and it worried me. I ended up trying out for the dance team and I made it. :) So that was a huge setback that had an opportunity for a comeback.

Week 5 - Grizzly You

If I was going to be a transcendentalist and being stranded for 6 months alone, I would want to g to a pretty island in the middle of the ocean. I would go here because I love the beach and ocean and I could get a pretty good tan :) Another reason why I would go her is because I could see sooo many things that you usually don’t see in Illinois. Like palm or coconut trees! Ew, the bugs there might be scary though. I hate bugs. Yuuuck. That would be a huge hardship for me. So would trying to be finding something or making something to eat. I can’t really cook. I would probably have a better outlook on life and not take as many things for granted if I actually was stranded out in the middle of the ocean. Even though it would be hard to come back to civilization from a beach, I probably still would. I would miss my family and friends wayy to much. :)

Week 4 - Dumb Laws

So a lot of these laws that I have looked up are sooo dumb! So I’m just going to name a few… :)
- You may not take a picture of a rabbit during June.
- It is illegal to tickle women.
- It is illegal to NOT drink milk.
- It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers even if you have no windshield.
- that makes no since.
- It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.
- It is illegal to use a lasso to catch a fish.
- It’s illegal for a frog to croak after 11 p.m.
- weird.
- It is illegal to lay down or fall asleep in a cheese factory
- Horses may not be kept in bathtubs.
- It is illegal to wear your boots to bed.
- It’s against the law to rollerblade on a state highway.
- It’s illegal to drive a camel on the highway.
- you can drive camels?
- No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of a car.
- You may not step out of a plane while it’s in flight.
- It is considered an offence to shower naked.
- Law forbids eating in a place while it’s on fire.

Wow. These are realllly dumb!

Week 3 - About My School

Go, go Olympia High
Victory is our battle cry
With colors blue and white
Fight, fight, fight, fight!
Spartans will overcome
We know were number 1
Striving always for the best
Go OHS!
That's Olympia High School school song :p One thing about Olympia that you should know would be that it is literately in the middle of corn and bean fields. The worst thing about Olympia is how it’s so far away from some towns in the district. The best thing about Olympia High School though would be how most people out here are nice. Also, football games and pork chops. :) Yuum!

Week 2 - A Specail Meeting

If I could meet anyone in the world, it would be my Uncle Tracy. He’s my mom’s older brother and he died before I was born. He was in a car crash and died two weeks later from breaking his neck, or something like that. My cousin who was two at the time had to live with my grandparents after he died. Some questions I would ask him would be…
- How was life growing up? I hear about it sometimes from mom and Aunt Carrie, but I can’t from you.
- Do you miss your family?
- Were you ready to go?
- How old would you be right now?
- Where would you and Arron live?
- What would your job be?
Even though he’s gone now, it would be nice if he could really answer some of these questions.

Week 1 - How School is Going

School is going pretty good this year, even though it already seems like it’s going on forever. I figured this year might kinda be horrible just because of the freshman. But now that I think about it, I don’t really see them that much besides lunch. Some other good things about this year are that I actually know where I’m going.
I have Spanish 1, p.e, English 2, and home ec. this semester for my classes. I love them and the teachers too. My favorite class is probably home ec. just because we barely ever get homework. My least favorite class is probably p.e. Just because it’s still in the morning and we have to run. There doing this new thing in that class and its ridicules. If you’re in a sport you have to lift weights, and I’m in swimming and dance. So I have to lift weights. It’s so dumb. Spanish 1 is my most challenging class. I can’t speak it, or read it that well. We have two vocab. quizzes a week in that class, so I’m going to have to study hard for those.
The things that I’m most excited for this year are probably the after school activities, like football games. I love those. Also, I’m on the swim and dance team this year, so those should be a lot of fun too. :)

Blog Entry # 16 – Farwell Freshman

I really can’t believe that freshman year is almost over. A week is left, and there are so many memories from this year. There are some good and some bad. The good ones are…
I met a ton of new friends that I probably will never forget. I did well in all my classes, I learned how to drive and now I have my permit. I did swim team and did pretty good. I went to Homecoming and I met dance team. These are just a few great memories from freshman year. I really don’t have that many bad ones but...
My best friend moved to Texas, and I’ve been slacking on my grades/homework. Yes, I know that’s horrible, but I’m just ready for summer. :) Who isn’t though?
I hope that sophomore year is as just as good as freshman year, maybe better. Next year, I hope to stick with swim team, instead of quitting. And I also hope that I do better on the team than last year. I hope to get all A’s and B’s on my report cards. I want to try to get a white card next year instead of a blue card. I also hope to make more friends, too. December 14 of sophomore year, I’ll be 16. So hopefully I’ll get a cute little red sports car. I hope that I well do well on dance team, and be on the team the rest of high school. I also hope that I’m not stressed out at the end of the year with finals like I am this year. :) A part of me wants sophomore year to go by fast, so that way summer get here quicker, but I also just want to enjoy being in high school. This is the best time of out lives, right? :)

Blog # 15 - You're almost there

School is almost out, and I am ready for summer! Between going to my brother’s baseball games, I’ll be going to church camp, hanging out with friends, and getting a tan. :)
Near the end of June, I’ll probably go to Little Galilee Church Camp again. This camp lasts a week and I’m so excited for that because last year I made a ton of new friends, so hopefully I’ll make more friends this year.
When July 4th comes around, Hopedale is full of people. I love this time of year because I get to see a lot of my friends from school that I haven’t seen in and I can hang out with them. The carnival rides and carnival food are great too. :)
Since my brother is in summer baseball, it keeps the family’s schedule busy. I like going to the games, but sometimes they can be freezing cold and miserable. Having few bad calls doesn’t make the game any better either.
I’m sure that a little of half of my summer will consist of laying out. A huge chunk of my summer though, I’ll be hanging out with my friends. :)
If I had all the money in the world and could only be spent on summer travel, I really wouldn’t know where to start. I would probably go shopping at least three times a week, maybe even more. I would spend the money flying to Florida too, and spending a week or two down there. Florida for a week or two during the summer would be amazing. :) I would probably give some of the money to my mom too (being the good kid I am) for gas money since its like four dollars a gallon or something like that. Other things that I could spend the money for summer travel would be flying to an ocean once a week, just to relax. :)

Blog # 14 - Hit the Jackpot

If I won $10 million in the lottery, I would have to donate half of it to a charity, but that’s okay. I would have $5 million worth of new clothes and a really cute car. :)
Since I would have to donate have of the money to a charity, I would donate half of the $5 million to a breast cancer foundation and the other half to St. Judes. My grandma had breast cancer a couple years ago, so that’s one reason why I would donate it there. She lost all her hair and it was sad to see her go through all of that. I would also donate to St. Jude’s because I think that it’s horrible to see little kids being really sick and having cancer.
The other half of the $10 million would go to me. :) First, I would buy a really nice car (since I have no other money to buy a car with and I have no job). It would be a red little convertible. I really don’t care what kind it was, as long as it was super cute. :) I would also buy myself a new cell phone with unlimited texting. Right now, the cell phone I have has a cracked screen. I don’t have unlimited texting either, so I wouldn’t have to worry about how much I’m texting a month. With the rest of the money I had left over, I would go on a huge shopping spree. :) I would go up to Chicago and spend the whole day there shopping. I would have a little money left over so I could go out to eat at a really nice restarunt, then I would go back home to my cute, little red convertible. :)

Blog # 13 - Top 8 stories about me!

Blog # 13 – Top 10 Stories Summer 2007 (about me!)

Soo many things happened last summer and I am so excited for this summer. :) Some things that happened were…
1.) I was just getting out of middle school and was very nervous/ excited for high school. So a lot of the summer, I was freaking out about getting lost in high school. Crazy, I know.
2.) Around the end of June, I went to a church camp for a week. I had soo much fun, and I meet a lot of new friends.
3.) During that week at camp, we had so many adventures. We learned a lot about God and about ourselves too. I really hope that I can go back this summer. :)
4.) My brother is in baseball, so a lot of the summer last year, we spent at his games. Yes, they can get very boring and sometimes almost get hit by a foul ball, but I got a great tan.
5.) Outside of Hopedale by my dad’s house, there was a rope swing. This swing was tied to a tree over the Mackinaw Creek. When it was super hot outside, we would walk over there and spent hours swinging into the creek. I hated the thought of having to swim with fish, but the thrill of swinging in the creek was soo much fun. :)
6.) One weekend during the summer, I hung out with my friend, Taylor, from Delavan. There wasn’t one boring moment that weekend. We always found something to do from walking around town getting lost to babysitting. She moved to Texas so we won’t be able to hang out as much this summer.
7.) Every year, the carnival comes to Hopedale. Summer 2007, the carnival was only there for two days, instead of three. It was still a ton of fun though. :)
8.) Last summer, Delaney and I hung out a lot. She had an electric scooter and so did I. Mine wasn’t all that great though, so we rode hers. There was only one seat, so she would ride on the sit. Unfortunately, I was small enough to fit on the place where you put your feet at, so I sat there. We probably did this every day, and it never got old.

Blog # 10 - Persuasive Trail Run

Would you really want to be somewhere where there are sick kids everywhere? I wouldn’t.
There are some students that are sick a lot, and miss a lot of school. It really depends on what you're sick with, but many students have been gone for weeks at a time just being sick. You really can’t help what you’re sick with or how long you have been gone for. That’s why absences shouldn’t go against blue or white cards.
If you think about, a C is average, which is good. If you get more than one C on your report card, then you don’t get a card. That should be changed. Students really do try there hardest and if that’s the best they can do, then that should be okay. We should be rewarded for trying our hardest, and a card would be a really go reward.
Also, getting a blue or white card could boost student’s self-esteem. If kids got a blue card, that would make them want to get a white card, which would get them better grades. Along with boosting kid’s self esteem, the cards may make the kids want to come to school. That way, the more they are at school, the more they will understand the homework. Then, they will get better grades.
I think that if this really happens, kids will enjoy coming to school. The will have smiles on their faces because they are healthy and have a really good self-esteem. I really think that this would be a good change for Olympia High School.

Blog 12 – Life as of 5/30/11

Life as of 5/30/11 will be crazy. I will be a senior graduating high school and in a couple months, starting college being a freshman all over again. I’ll probably start of in a community collage like Hartland or something and go there for a year or two, just to get used to the whole college thing. Also, I hope by then I’ll know what I want to do for a job, so after the community college I could go to another college that could get me to that job. I would either like to go to a college in Illinois so I can be close to home, or somewhere warm and sunny where I could get a nice tan, like Florida. :)
I will defiantly have a job by 5/30/11. But once I know what I’m going to do with my life, I’ll probably find a different job that has something to do with what I want to be.
After graduation, I’m going to want to be with my friends as much as possible and hang out with them for the summer. I will also be getting prepared for the four years ahead of me too. But I’m sure that I will be with my friends most of the time though. :)
I know that after 5/30/11 I’ll be out in the real world and busy with college and job, but I know that I will defiantly keep in touch will my friends, and hang out with them as much as I can still. :)

Blog 11 - Bad Habits

I have soo many bad habits and it’s terrible. I bite my nails and eat when I’m bored. I also tend to not do my homework and wait till the last minute to do it.
I have bitten my nails since I was like 3. I tell myself everyday that I’m not going to bite them, but I end up doing it anyways. When I was little, my mom would paint my nails this clear color, and I always thought that it was pointless, so I bite my nails. I then discovered that the nail polish she used tasted disgusting, so I didn’t bite my nails for awhile. Earlier this year I was obsessed with nail polish, so I was always wearing it, which made me not bite my nails also. But I haven’t been wearing it lately, so my nails are all bitten up and short. Hopefully this habit will be gone soon. :)
Another horrible habit I have is that I eat when I’m bored. And I’m not in any sports right now, so I need to watch what I eat. I’m going to start swimming in the beginning of the school year though, so that should burn off the food that I eat when I’m bored. :)
Not doing my homework until the last minute is a bad habit also. Because I don’t get my homework done, my grades go down. And I really don’t need that right now just because my parents said if I get good grades then my car insurance will be good. Not only does getting my homework done help my grades, but it will help me in the future to get into a good college. I’m working on breaking this habit, and I think that I’m getting better. :)

Blog 9 – How I spent spring break

My spring break was great. :) I went to Florida for the week with my dad, brother, step mom, and my step sister. The one part that I dreaded though was the car ride there and back. But anyways, we left around 1:30 on Friday and drove through the night. We got to my grandparents house in Naples, Florida around 11 the next morning. We all unpacked and hung around the house for the rest of the day. The next day was Easter, so we woke up early and went to church. The day before, my dad and step in Key mom, Glenda, were talking about going snorkeling in Key Largo, then spending the night in Key West. So we got hotel rooms in Key West and reservations for snorkeling in Key Largo for Monday and Tuesday. After figuring all this out, we went to the beach. It was about 85 degrees and it was so nice! We drove back to my grandparents after a couple hours at the beach. I can’t really remember what we ate for Easter dinner, but I do remember that it was good. My grandparents have an indoor pool and hot tub, so after dinner me, Sam, and Sydney got in the hot tub.
The next day was Monday and also the day we go snorkeling. The 3-4 hour drive to Key Largo was worth it though. My grandma and grandpa didn’t want to go snorkeling, so they dropped us off at the snorkeling place. We ordered wet suits, thinking that they would keep us dry, but we were wrong. Going snorkeling was a ton of fun, but scary too since I’m scared of big fish. We were probably out there in the water for an hour when Sydney swam up to me, freaking out. She told me to look right below me, so I did. I saw the scariest thing in the world. It was a HUGE sting-ray! The big scary looking thing was on the floor of the sea, covered in sand. After seeing that, I got out of the water immediately. We drove about another hour or two to get to Key West after snorkeling. There is a ton of gift shops in Key West and a ton of interesting things to see. I think the craziest thing I saw down there, though, was wild chickens. They would just run around the streets there like squirrels do here. Tuesday morning we walked around for a little bit longer, and then drove our five hour drive back to Naples.
Wednesday and Thursday we went to the beach all day. Thursday night we met up with our cousins and spent the night on Third Street listening to bands play all along the street. Friday was kind of a depressing day, just because I knew that it was our last full day in Florida. Once again, we spent the day relaxing on the beach. Saturday morning, we left around 5:30 and in the car all day. Even though we weren’t in Florida anymore, coming back home was nice too. (:

Blog 8 – Pick an unused idea – Time Travel

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would probably go back like a long long time ago, during the Renaissance period. Just being able to dress up and being treated like royalty would be a lot of fun. (:
All the girls dressed in big poofy dresses with so many bright colors. And in pictures and stuff, it looks like their hair is perfect. I have never had a perfect hair day, and it would be amazing if I could. :p The best part of going back in that time period though, I think would be going to those big fancy dances. If I really went back in that time, I think that I would have the most amazing dress ever, along with the perfect hair. I would go to the dances and eat all the food that I could and dance with the super cute and super rich guys. (: After the dances, I would go back to my huge castle-like house, and take of my gorgeous, but uncomfortable shoes. I would fall asleep in my huge bed, and then my wonderful life would start all over again the next day. Being treated like royalty while I change into my amazing dress, have my hair done all perfect, and go to fancy dances. I would meet and dance with the super cute and super rich boys, and then go home.
Even though I’m sure this would never happen, it would be wonderful if it did. (:

Blog 7 – Morning Routine

As I’m dreaming a really good dream, the sound of Boys like Girls wakes me up. With my head in my pillow, I reach over for my cell phone and turn of the alarm. I lay in bed for a couple more seconds thinking that its way too early and that I just want to fall back asleep. I finally get up and stumble over a pile of clothes and head for the shower. After taking a 15-20 minute shower, I’m a little more awake now. As I fumble with my contacts putting them in my eyes, I can smell the delicious smell of cinnamon rolls. I’m so tired still, so I get dressed and lazily walk downstairs. I tell my mom good morning as I get the center cinnamon roll. Yum, my favorite. :)
I tear apart my breakfast in little pieces, savoring the taste while I eat it. I walk into the bathroom, grab the hair dryer, and dry my hair. It seems like it takes forever for it to get all the way dry, which seems to make me a little more tired.. Then, I plug in my straightener and wait for it to heat up. As I’m waiting for it to get hot, I do my makeup. I quickly apply it to my face, and by the time I’m done, my straightener is hot. It takes about 10 minutes for me to get my straight. By the time I’m done getting ready, it’s about 7:50. Me and my brother get into the car, and we pick up Ashley and her brother. My mom usually drives us out to school, so on the way there, we stop by Casey’s and most of the time I get a Rockstar. Slowly I drink it, thinking about the day ahead and hoping I don’t have a lot of homework. About 8:10, we get to the school and my school day begins.

entry 6 - the perfect day

My perfect day would be absolutely perfect. (: It would start off on a Friday morning. School was cancelled for some reason, so I had nothing to do. I put on my favorite pair of jeans and a hoodie. I reached into my pockets and pulled out a 100 dollar bill. That’s when I figured out what I was going to do for the day. Shopping. (:
As I got ready to go shopping, I kept finding money in the most random places. By the time I was ready to go, I had found 500 dollars. I was thinking about where I was going to go shopping at, because I wanted to go to a huge mall, and the malls around where I live are boring. Then I thought that I could go to my favorite place ever, which would be Florida. Even though Florida is like far, far, far away, it only took 10 minutes to get too.
Once I got to Florida, I spent so many hours at the mall. By the time I was done, my feet were killing me. I also ended up buying so many clothes that I had to get rid all my other clothes in my closet, and I was all out of money, so I couldn’t go shopping anymore. I went to the beach instead. That was a nice place to relax my killing feet. Three or four hours at the beach gave me a perfect tan. (: Going home was sad, because I had to leave the beach and Forida.
So my perfect day would be just perfect. (:

entry 5 - 10 years from now

10 years from now, I think my life is going to be amazing. I’m going to have a great job, a house on the beach, and a family. I’m going to be famous, and that’s my job. I always get to walk down the red carpet and meeting more famous people. And I also get to wear these amazingly cute dresses. :) My house is on the beach, and it’s huge. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, and a hut tub. But most of the time, I’m laying out on the beach, so I wouldn’t really use the pools. I’m going to have two twin girls, and a boy. My husband is also going to be famous, so we’ll just be a famous couple. :) As of right now, the headlines are not as bad as they are now. The war in Iraq is over, so that’s a good thing. The President is Channing Tatum, and girls all over the world are always drooling all over him. The biggest sports story right now is that the Cubs still havn’t won the World Series, and it’s been over 100 years. Instead, the Cardinal’s won. :)
I doubt that any of this is going to happen, but it would be nice if my future turned out like this. :)

Blog 4 - That was then, this is now

When I was young, I thought that school was just a place to go to during the day to hang out with friends and learn useless stuff, but now that I’m older, I see that all that all those things that we learned aren’t useless.
Now that I’m in high school, looking back school was super important. Some of those “useless” things that I learned, I use most of them today. I always thought math was stupid, but now I really use it all the time. Some things that aren’t even educational that I learned in grade school are very important now, like if you don’t go out and talk/interact with people, then you might not now the people that you know today. The schools reconsolidate when I was in 6th grade, and the only people I knew were the Hopedale kids. If I didn’t talk to other kids from Minier, then I probably wouldn’t even be friends with them. Also, if I didn’t learn the things that I did, I probably wouldn’t be able to get a job. It’s crazy that I really do use the things that I learned in school that I thought were pointless.

Blog Entry 3. - Ahhh, the sweet joy of a snow day

The greatest snow day ever was in 6th grade. I woke up at the time I normally do on school days, and I looked out the window. “There is no way we’re going to have school”, I thought to myself. I immediately turned on the radio to see if we did. The list went on forever and finally they said, “And no school for Olympia”. Just hearing those five words made my day. I ran to my brother’s room, woke him up, and told him we didn’t have school.
A couple hours later, me and my brother were outside sledding. The driveway was as big as a mountain, and covered in ice and snow. This was probably the best place to go sledding. After a couple hours of sledding, we took off our snowy boots and went inside. The smell of chicken noodle soup filled the house. We put our boots back on and went out in the snow covered yard after getting all warmed back up and eating soup . It took forever to find another hill to slide down. We finally found the perfect one. It was the biggest hill I have ever seen. My brother and I attempted to climb up it, but it just wasn’t working. Sadly, we went back to the driveway to sled. A couple more hours past and all the snow was worn off the driveway.
Our mom came outside saying that there was hot chocolate inside if we wanted any. I was pretty much frozen, so I decided I was going to go in, and stay in for the rest of the night. Drinking my hot chocolate and bundling up in blankets, I thought to myself, “This was the best snow day ever.”

Last year went by super fast. My highlights of last year was going to Florida over spring break, getting out of middle school and coming out to the high school, meeting new friends, turning 15, and getting good grades last semester. Some not so good things last year was having my best friend move to Texas, and being stressed out in the beginning of the school year, just because I had no clue where anything was or what to expect from high school. I ended the year having fun though. I hung out with friends, and stayed up all night watching movies. My new year’s resolution this year was to stop biting my nails (bad habit), which hasn’t happened yet. My classes this semester are a little bit harder then what they were last semester, so hopefully I’ll still get A’s and B’s in them. A good thing that has happened this semester though, is that I got in drivers ed., and I got my permit last week. :) I just really hope I can get a job this summer so I can buy a car when I turn 16. I’m also looking forward to going to Florida over spring break again. My grandparents own a house in Naples with an indoor pool, and they live about 5 miles away from the Naples Pier. I really can’t think of anything else that has happened so far this year, but I’m sure a lot more good and some bad things will happen. I’m just looking forward to a good year this year. :)

Entry No. 1 : Welcome to my Blog

Hello :) My name is Abbey Hibbert and I’m a freshman at Olympia High School. I’m in English 1 Writing, 2nd block, and I’m keeping a blog entry throughout second semester.

I’m about 5’3, I have straight blonde hair and green eyes. I’m 15 years old. My birthday is on December 14. I love to wear anything that is cute and comfy. I have 2 brothers, 1 sister, and 2 step sisters. I have a great personality and I’m easy to get along with. My attitude towards others is good too.

I love hanging out with friends and talking on the phone. Some other things are shopping and clothes, chocolate, music, the color pink, scary movies, Old Navy flip-flops, and eating. :) Just in general, I love to have fun. Some goals that I have are to get good grades all throughout high school. And also to graduate high school and go on to college. Another goal that I need to get accomplished is to get a job in the next year. :)

My education is important to me. I want to get into a good college so I can have a good job. As of right now, I really don’t have any difficult classes, but I just get a ton of homework in all of them. The classes I’m taking this semester are physical science, English 1, algebra 2, and drivers ed.
