winter break

On winter break I'm not going to do much. I know for sure that I'm going to be hanging out with many many people. I'm so excited for that! On Christmas I'm going to see the new Alvin and the chipmunks movie! I think my good friend Yazmin might go too. I can't wait to see it. I saw the first one and LOVED it. I don't think we're doing anything else on Christmas besides open presents and a have good dinner. It's only going to be me, my mom and annoying sister. I'd like to go to the zoo and look at all the lights they set up. I think that would be pretty awesome. My break is probably going to be pretty calm but I hope it's fun! I'm not sure what I'm doing on New Years though. I want to hang out with people but I think my mom has to work that night because shes a limo driver and people usually want to go places looking fancy I guess. I'm so excited for everything and can't wait for Christmas!

Book over winter break

The book I'm going to read over winter break is the same book I'm reading now. I'm almost done with the second book in the series and plan on reading the whole series. I love these books and I'm glad my sister got me into these books. I don't really like any other book just because I don't like books at all. I'm not sure why that is. I've always not liked books so much but I love the ones I'm reading.

My book

The book I highly recommend is Marked by P.C Cast and Kristen Cast. Marked is such an amazing book in so many ways. Its exciting, thrilling, enchanting and just all over bone chilling. The book starts out with a normal 16 year old girl named Zoey. She goes to a regular high school. She has a pretty normal life. Her mom recently got remarried to as Zoey would call him her step-loser. She has a stuck up older sister that her parents always compare Zoey to and a wonderful grandma that Zoey loves the most. Zoey doesn't know her life is going to change dramatically at a normal day at school, but she notices a "tracker" at her school one day. A tracker is an adult vampire that goes and "marks" people and has them become a vampire. A person who just gets turned into a vamp is called a fledgling. The tracker doesn't get to just pick anyone to become a fledgling. The goddess of Nyx does, and she does it very carefully. Not everyones body excepts the change in becoming a fledgling. If the body starts to reject it there's nothing anyone can do and they die. When Zoey gets marked her parents don't approve but there's nothing they can do. After someone gets marked they have to start their life living at the House Of Night which is a school for fledglings and adult vamps When fledglings go there they get a mentor to help them through the change. Zoeys mentor is named Neferet who is a high priestess. A high priestess is an adult vamp who has a special gift form the goddess of Nyx and they have different powers depending on what gift Nyx grants them with. They also have classes at the House Of Night to help them learn about the change. Zoey meets many friends there and their adventure beings from there. This series has 6 books in it and working on a 7th. I think everyone who likes vampire books should read it. Its the best ones yet!

Class book

I though the book was a pretty good book. I don't think I've read a book that was anything like that. It had some awesome funny parts in it, and also some sad parts but it was still very cool. If I didn't read it in class I don't think I ever would of read it for a couple reasons. One reason is I'm not the biggest book fan, another is If I do pick up a book its usually a vampire book or something like that and the last reason is if I did get it I doubt I'd ever read it. I kind of wish I could of read the ending just because I started it and I'm not going to know what happened. I don't think its going to bother me though so I doubt I'm going to get it just to read the ending. Overall it was a satisfying book.

Christmas

If I could create a new Christmas tradition I'd don't think I'd change much. I like Christmas the way it is. I think I'd probably change how there's a Christmas Eve. I don't really see why there's one. Maybe if people would have like a huge dinner on Christmas Eve then it would be alright but everyone would have to do it. Besides the people that don't do Christmas. I guess Christmas eve is okay cause I get to open one present but if I didn't get to do that I'd be a lot more excited to just open all of them on Christmas. I don't really think it would be a good or bad change but its the only thing I can really think of that could change and wouldn't really matter.

Class Book

I don't really have a favorite part. Just parts that I really like and I think are funny. Like the part where Junior told the girl he liked that he was poor. I thought it was cool he could tell her that trusting she would accept it. I also liked the part when Junior was saying that him and Penelope were "together". I liked that part cause It was cute how he was all excited and didn't know why she was with a guy like him. Those are the parts that really stuck out to me. Well there was also the part about the dog. I didn't like that part but I remember it. I thought it was sad and wouldn't be able to do that.

My Choice

My week off was so good. Well except for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I had some person issues that I'm still getting over. I found out that my grandpa died Monday and that was just the start of my personal issues. I'm not going into detail about them but my grandpa died of a really bad lung cancer from being a chain smoker. Ever since I was little I could remember him smoking so much. I didn't think much of it then. My sister on the other hand had to go to the ER when she was little cause she got a very bad reaction to my grandpas smoke and couldn't breathe. I don't remember much because I was so young. I guess my dad flipped when it all happened and started going all religious on my grandpa for some reason. I don't know. My dads just a tad on the crazy side.

Other then the bad days I had on my week off it was amazing. Me and Levi went down to the river just to sit and look at the water and we talked a bunch about pretty much nothing. My Thanksgiving was great. We went to my moms friends house. Her name's Barb. We've known her since I was small. I guess my mom's pecan pie wasn't cooked all the way and the minute we got in the pie leaked over everything. The floor got all gross, Barbs little dog got all messy because he ran in it, Barb's husband got all sticky because he picked up the dog, my moms shirt got ruined, AND two seconds after that my sister dropped all the soda and all I could say was, "Happy Thanksgiving!" I was great. I love having memories like that.
