Blog War

Oh and I won the blog war :)

She's Back!!!(briefly)

Well guys I am back!
I said the last blog was my final blog but I actually had the opportunity to blog once again! This is my very last day of web design(and school for that matter) and on Thursday I will be all done with my much dreaded exams! And then it will be summer. summer. SUMMER!!!! This year has just flown by and I can't believe its almost over! It has been a good year but I am so ready to not worry about homework and be able to sleep in. However I do have to start on my summer reading and I have a long packet to complete for an honors class I will be taking next year so I guess I'm not completely liberated from all of my school work :( I hope that yall have a wonderful fantastic summer break!!!!!

Final Blog!!!

Thats right the time has come for me, Ellie, and Annie to say our good byes to all of our loyal followers. It makes me so sad to discontinue posting but now that I am no longer in web design class I just have nothing to blog about anymore. It has been a great experience to learn all about designing on the web, blogging, and more. I hope that anyone reading this will feel inspired to go out and blog. It really is quite fun! I hope that you all have a wonderful summer and good luck in exams everybody!!!!!
<3 Nancy

Culture Day!

Today in World Cultures we get to where clothing from a country that we have studied this year and Ellie gave me the wonderful idea to blog about it! I am wearing traditional Chinese attire. It is a magenta/purple top and pant suit with gold embroidery and the top has a manderin collor. I purchased it at a Chinese store which had an abundance of wonderful clothing! Annie and Ellie have on wonderful outfits as well! Ellie is wearing a blue Japanese kimono that looks so cute and Annie has on a mexican top that is too cute!!! You girls are so stylish! Anyways in class people are bringing foods from other countries for our enjoyment which sounds delicious!!!

Last week of classes!!!!!

This is our last week of classes at school!!!!!!! Next week we have exams :( so this week will be full of studying not so fun! But then we have summer! I really cant wait until I can sleep in and not worry about school!

Sprinkles Cupcakes!!!!!!!

Sprinkles cupcakes are so amazing!!!!!! Ellie and I were just discussing our very favorite flavors! I would have to say that my favorites are red velvet, black and white, and strawberry but I would love to try the salty caramel which is a limited edition cupcake. What are yalls favorite flavors??

Wrapping up the school year!

I am finally starting to feel like summer is almost here! I am almost done with all of my tests and projects so now I have to start to study for exams :( This has been a really good year but I am sooo ready for summer! I have looked at the summer reading list and I am required to read The Lord of the Flies and then off of the optional list I am choosing to read The Shack and Seabiscuit: An American Legend. They both looked really good and have both been on the best sellers list so I think they are good choices!

The Final Stretch!

Seeing that we only have 13 days left of school!!!! I am beginning to view this as the final stretch of the race(freshman year. Why might that be? Well first of all the fourth quarter is like the last lap and the last two weeks are like the absolute last bit of the year! Unfortunately they go by slowly and painfully. Exams. Synonymous with torture, long nights of studying, stress, etc, etc. So while Summer is clearly visible from where we are we must go through exams to get to it :( I should really start studying! I have a few tests this week and then after that I will be able to study for exams. The main exam I am worried about would be the World Cultures Exam. I will have to learn every detail on all of my tests, science, french, and math will be easier to study for because my teacher will give us a review packet but for world cultures and english, my tests and notes are all that I have. Hopefully you all will have a less stressful time studying!

Weekend!

I had a very busy weekend! On Saturday I had my ballet performance which was a blast! It went really well and I had a lot of fun! Then on Saturday night I went to coffee house which was fun! They had some really good food and I brought chicken salad and pimento cheese finger sandwiches that my mom and I made which were quite delicious if I may say so myself! On Sunday I had a pretty chill day because I was so exhausted from the previous day so I just spent time with my family since it was mothers day and did my homework. Then my dad and I went to I <3 yogurt(my fave dessert place) and I got a blend of cali strawberry, pomegranate, Italian original, and orange sorbet topped with strawberry, mango, kiwi, and gummi bears! It sounds like a lot but I only got a very little amount of each flavor and topping so it really wasn't! Anyways that was my weekend! What did yall do?

Today

Luckily I don't have to much going on today! After school I have to go to PE and do crunches and pushups but that shouldn't take to long! After that my mom is picking me up and taking me to get my ballet stage makeup for my performance on Saturday. Then I will go home and do my homework and after that I can catch up on the TV shows I have missed this week. So far I have missed House, Glee, and Gossip Girl. I won't be able to watch all of them tonight but I can probably watch one or two.

Project Update!

Our project is coming along so nicely! Poor Ellie has been sick and we missed her but thankfully she is back today!! We have completed the verb, vocab, conversation, and are working on the culture page! I think our webpage is going to be really great!

World Cultures Quiz

Tomorrow I have a quiz in world cultures over Central and South America. I have to be able to label all of the countries and know their capitals! Luckily I know most of the locations of the Central American countries but I do still have to learn the capitals. Hopefully it won't take to long; I usually can learn the map information fairly quickly!

Contacts!

Today I am going to the eye doctor to try out contacts! I am really hoping that they will work out for me because I don't want to have to wear glasses forever. My main concern is that I will have to touch my own eye which I am not thrilled about but I think I will get used to it. Everyone tells me that contacts are no big deal and you get used to them very quickly so I really hope they are right! I already bought a really cute contact lens case that is pink with white polka dots and it is super cute!

Vitamin Water

I absolutely LOVE vitamin water! It is such a refreshing beverage that comes in many great flavors! My favorites are Dragonfruit, Peach-Mango, and Strawberry Kiwi. Unfortunately they only have acai blueberry at my school which is good but not my favorite. What are your thoughts on vitamin water?

Favorites Post!

I thought it would be fun today to blog about my favorites!
I have already done favorite stores and restaurants in Dallas but these are all different favorites!

Favorite color- tiffany blue but my favorite color combo is pale pink and mint green

Favorite book- To Kill a Mockingbird

Favorite movie- The Notebook

Favorite vacation spot- Definitely Florida!!

Favorite major sporting event- Kentucky Derby, its the only major sporting event I watch. I rarely watch the Super Bowl or anything like that.

Favorite singer- Taylor Swift

Favorite Season- Spring: I love all of the beautiful flowers

Favorite TV shows- Gossip Girl, CSI Miami, House, Glee, The Office

Favorite flower- I love many flowers; tulips, lillies, blue hydrangas, white roses, hibiscus, and orchids

Favorite Holiday- My favorite holidays are Christmas and Easter. Christmas is such a cheerful time and I love picking out gifts for other people, Christmas music, holiday foods(eggnog and gingersnaps are lovely together)and sitting by the fire. Easter is in Spring, my favorite season. Its the perfect temperature outside and all of the flowers are out. It also is a stress free holiday. Thanksgiving and Christmas can sometimes be a little stressful when worrying about the holiday meal or gifts but for Easter I can dress up in Lilly Pulitzer(my favorite store) and go enjoy delicious brunch at a country club!

summersummersummersummer

I am getting so pumped up for summer! I don't think I can stand one more day of school! What are yalls summer plans??

BLOG WAR

Annie and I are in a blog war. Who can get the most posts? she currently is ahead but not for long!!!

Derby!

After ballet on Saturday I rushed home just in time to see a little bit of the Kentucky Derby pre-show. In my opinion the pre-show is just as fun as the actual race because all of the horses walk down the track and they put them in the start fence and you get to learn about all of the horses and they give the predictions about who is favored to win. The actual race is only about two minutes long but it never fails to be exciting! This year it had rained all day long but had stopped before the race but the track was so wet it looked like glass. Luckily none of the horses fell which was good because it is always really sad when that happens! The horse that one is named Super Saver which I think is a pretty cool name and the people who own him are from Dallas. It was a very exciting race I hope that one year I will be able to go!
