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.
