blogging Challenge #1

Article posted October 28, 2009 at 12:44 PM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 50

This year I hope to improve as a blogger by blogging more often.  Blogging is a way to express yourself, and also to show your personal feelings and opinions.  I want to try to blog about more things, for example not just books and hobbies.  I think its really interesting to be able to learn about other student bloggers from around the world and see what they're doing and what interests they have.  I want to take advantage of that opportunity too.

SS # 2 Blog

I think the English won because they had alot more people, power and land settlements than the Spanish did. What might have been different if the Spanish had won would be the influence of their culture on the US. Obviously, there would be alot more Spanish people and Spanish speaking people in our country today. Our heritage as a country would be the same or very similar to Spain's. If England had not won the Revolutinary War would not have existed, and there would be no fight for an independent country. Things would have been a lot different.

My favorite horse series, Canterwood Crest is my new book- obsession. (I love these books!) I first read about the author, Jessica Burkhart, in a Young Rider magazine article, and heard the 22 year old just started writing and has already received many awards for her books. Canterwood Crest is an All Equestrian middle school in Connecticut with a reputation for winning. The series goes through the early years of Sasha Silver’s life at Canterwood, fitting in, friends, and new rivalries from other extremely competitive riding schools. The books are really interesting, and are very suspenseful and addicting. When I read Book # 1, Take the Reins, I could'nt put it down! I really like how the series is going so far. I recently finished book four, and can’t wait until I can get the next one, Best Enemies, which came out on October 20th. The series will have 8 books, and I plan on reading all of them. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is fluent in horse knowledge, and is interested in any kind of fun, high energy story.

Blogs from Foreign Countries

Article posted October 20, 2009 at 02:17 PM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 12

My comment on Luke's blog from Tasmania, Australia would be...
I actually like cooking too. My Dad is always teaching me ways to make simple meals that are quick and easy. Lately, I've found baking cookies to be really fun. Chef school is a good place to go if you don't want to pursue something in college. You can get a good job at an expensive restaurant where you're paid really well.


Next I'd like to comment on Allira from Australia's blog about tattooing.

I used to want a tattoo also, but now I really don't. It would be annoying to me because the colors would not match what I wore all the time. Secondly i am not that kind of person with tattoos and piercings everywhere. And last I wouldn't want a tattoo because my blood would be contaminated with ink, so if someone in my family needed a blood transfusion, I wouldn't be able to give it to them.

SS # 1 Knowledge

Article posted October 15, 2009 at 05:41 PM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 8

Knowledge of the past can be lost for multiple reasons. It is true that the discoveries the Indian civilizations made are quite extraordinary. Especially for that time when there was literally nothing. Knowledge is knowledge. You may know it as a fact for a short time, then it might dissappear to the back of your head. Knowledge is lost because not much attention is payed to it. Also because at the time of the Indians, there were no written records of the Indian's lifestyle, culture or beliefs. The Early Europeans probably did not have to time to contemplate the "inventions" of civilizations like the Aztecs or Mayas. They didn't know anything about the New World where the civilizations began, and until Columbus, they did not even know it existed. What Early Europeans did not know, is that knowledge of the past is important because it shapes the future.

7 random facts

I am extremely spontaneous and very talkative. I absolutely love eating peanut butter out of the jar. I dont know if other people are like that too or if its just me... but I love peanut butter! I never wear jeans at home. I just dont like it. That used to be all I ever wore, but the only time I wear them anymore is to the mall or a friend's house. I'm all about being comfortable. I love meditation music. Like Enya and Kiiran are my favorites. I think its so relaxing, and it just heals your soul. I listen to them a lot. I've never had a true favorite color. My "likings" basically change every couple weeks. 2 weeks ago it was navy blue, but this week I've moved on to hydraulic purple. Last I am insanely good at picking things up with my toes. Even small things like pennies and what not. My friends think its just weird but I actually think its pretty cool.

Praise for the Secret Languge of girls

Article posted September 16, 2008 at 04:17 PM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 80

I dont know if u have heard of or read this book, but if not YOU SHOULD BECAUSE IT IS SOO GOOD!!!
as you know ( i blog about good books all the time) but i thought this one was special. the secret language of girls made it onto my top 16 greatest books ever list. It's about two twelve year olds Kate and Marylin who live 3 doors down from eachother, go to the same school, and have been best friends all their lives.Now that they are starting sixth grade Marylin thinks kate has some growing up to do, and Kate thinks Marylin's acting like a big snob. then a new and popular-at- her-old-school girl comes to the school and moves in right next to Marylin. Soon enough kate is left alone, and marylin joins CHEERLEADING with new girl Flannery. Kate remains alone until she becomes best friends with a boy she never knew existed...
