This is what every kid dreams and hopes for in the winter. A chance to take a much needed break from school and just relax and play. But, it can take a toll on high school kids' schedules.
We have our blue day and white day classes that are effected by this. Say if we are supposed to have a test on one of those days, the teacher has to end rescheduling it for another day. And, I don't know about you, but I definitely do not want to end going to school in June again.
Sure, we love to get out in the snow and not be in classrooms all day. But, that's what weekends are for also!

Kentucky Wildcats Victories!!-And Loss
For those Kentucky Wildcat fans, today the Wildcats came through-again. This makes it their 20th victory this season. That is all thanks to players John Wall, DeMarkus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and the rest of the Kentucky team.
It's too bad that they weren't able to beat South Carolina on Tuesday. They are, in my opinion, the best basketball team there ever was. Except for the Harlem Globetrotters, also in my opinion. They could have easily beat South Carolina, but either way, they didn't seem to mind. Sure, they are the number 1 college basketball team, but I believe that they want to do good at games, they just want to also fly under the radar.
But don't worry, on February 25th, they get another chance to beat South Carolina. I definitely can't wait to see that happen!!

2012- The End Of The World?
This is something that has been on my mind since my dad saw a documentary about it. 2012, the year that will either be the year the world will end or when nothing bad happens at all.
Ever since we have heard about the Mayan Calendar and how it ends on December 21, 2012, we have been asking ourselves a lot of if's. It is said that on that day, the planets will align and supposedly cause some sort of catostrophic event.
So, what happens if the world does not end, then scientists have a lot of explaining to do. They put this into our minds that the Earth and everyone living on this planet will die. I surely hope we don't, but you never know.

Advice A Dog Would Give About Life
Anyone who has a dog is sometime bound to think about what a dog thinks. So, here are just a few things a dog would give advice about, if it could talk.
1. Begging Always Works!- To get what you want, beg as much as you can until they give in. To make this extremely effective, make a sad face and sulk.
2. Tricks For Treats!- Always be sure to do something that will please your parents, or in a dog's case its owners, such as making good grades or doing more than just the few chores that they have assigned to you. Doing these things will most definitely get your parents to buy you something.
3. Don't Trust All People!- Sure, you can trust those who are closest to you, but never trust someone you don't know. Yes, they can seem harmless, AT FIRST. Please, don't make that mistake. KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!!
That's all. I hope that this has helped you.

Trademarks
I'm not really sure what trademarks my family has that are easy to spot, but I have many trademarks. Some are very obvious and the rest, only my family know.
The trademarks that are obvious are the fact that I wear dark colored t-shirts. I have been wearing those for a while and I love them. Some of them show what bands I like. My mom doesn't like that I do, but I don't care. I like what I like. Another one is that I always wear bell-bottom jeans. I very rarely wear skinny jeans. I also wear Vans shoes. They are my favorite kind of shoe and are very comfortable.
The trademarks that only my family know are the fact that I always listen to music. I love to listen to music, but my parents don't because most of the time I have the volume turned up so loud that I can't hear them calling for me. I also like watching comedy movies. There are only certain scary movies that I will watch. The most important trademark that only my family notices is that fact that I look exactly like my mom. Let me just say that it is really freaky to look at pictures of my mom in the 70s because that definitely does look like me.
Each person has their own personal trademarks and should be proud of it. It would be really boring if everybody liked the same things.

Ugly Words
There are not many words that I think are ugly. But, there is only one word that I cringe in fear at: V-Slicer.
During the summer before junior year, my dad and I had just gotten back from the grocery store. We were getting ready to make BLT sandwiches. My dad wanted me to slice the tomato using the V-Slicer.
V-Slicer- used to slice vegetables. Has a very sharp blade that never becomes dull and has a hand guard that you should definitely use.
I got the V-Slicer ready and started slicing the tomato, without using the hand guard. I looked up for a split second, then I felt the most excrutiating pain. My brother screamed "OH MY GOD!!" The blade had cut through part of my thumb nail.
I ran to the bathroom and my mom got the first aid kit out. She bandaged the cut, but it still hurt. It hurt so bad that I cried. My mom finally got a container and filled it with warm water and epsom salt. I soaked the cut in it while my mom went to the store to get bactine and a magazine for me.
That was the last time I have touched the V-Slicer. Everytime someone starts to use it, I run out of the room. I have learned my lesson that day.

Bad Ideas
There are many things that are pretty bad ideas. So, I am only going to tell you about one of the bad ideas that I ever had.
I was about 7 years old when my first tooth became loose. I wanted to get it out, but I was too afraid to pull it out myself. I went to my dad to see if he had any ideas on how to pull it out. That was when I realized that I had heard that taking a string and tying it around a door knob and your tooth, then shutting the door will get the tooth to come out. My dad got the string and tied one end of it to my tooth and the other end to the closet door knob. My dad asked if I was ready and I gave him the okay. (Note: DO NOT try this when you didn't tell your mom.) My dad slammed the closet door and the string snapped in half. At that time, I heard my mom scream. I looked at my mom and I started crying because I didn't know what else to do.
That same night my mom pulled the tooth out for me. From that ordeal, I have learned to never catch my mom by surprise, especially with ideas like that.
