Daily Journal-The Clock Winked

The clocked winked, skipped time and then stoped. Anticipation grew stronger and stronger. It was the last day of school and summer was in the air. Day dreaming of sleepovers, late nights, bonfires, cabin trips, and soaking up the sun. I love summer because there is so much to do! Although my days are busy from waking up at 5:15 in the morning to go to swim practice till 8, coming home and doing chores. Hanging out with friends, soaking up the sun on my deck, working, or simply enjoying the weather outside. There are endless ways to spend a summer day. At night I have softball practice and finish the day off with friends till late in the night watching a movie or sitting around a bonfire. One thing I will miss the most this summer is my best friend Megane Trabon. She stayed with us last summer for a month as an exchange student from France. We never had a dull moment in that month of summer. This summer I plan on having my own garden and growing lots of fresh vegetables. I also plan on being outside, being with family, and being with friends enjoying the bitter sweet times of summer.

Daily Journal-Spring Break

Over spring break I went to Orlando, Florida with the softball team. It was so much fun! 85 degree weather everyday and not a cloud in the sky. We arrived late Saturday night and just explored the resort we were staying at. Sunday the team spent half the day at the beach and the other half at the Disney parks. We went to Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and finished the day at Magic Kingdom for their castle show. Because we were staying at a resort on Disney property, we were allowed at Magic Kingdom until 2 am. Utilizing our minimal time in Florida, we decided to stay untill we were forced out of the parks. The next day we spent with a 6 hour softball practice and relaxing on the beach. Tuesday, we had our first games. We played a double header and won both. On top of two games, we had a 2 hour practice before that. When we got back to the resort, we all crashed on the beach soaking up the sun. Wednesday we had a 2 hour practice and 1 game and had the rest of the day to sit at the beach or go to the parks. Thursday we had our last game in the morning so we had a majority or the hot sunshine for parks and the beach. Friday was our last day at the resort. We had a practice and then an intersquad scrimmage. That night the team played ditch and mafia on the beach to close an amazing week. Saturday was our check out day but we didnt have to leave for the airport till about 5:30, so we spent the day at Universal's, Islands of Adventure. Harry Potter land was so amazing, like you were actually in Hogwartz. Overall the trip was extremly worth it. The weather was beautiful, we had our share of softball, as well as free time and there was so much to do at the resort. It was a trip I will never forget.

Daily Journal-Spoon in a Dishwasher

I have just been used to eat yogurt and now that I am covered in sweet vanilla yogurt its time for my washing in the dishwasher. I am placed in the silverware rack with all the other dirty utinsels awaiting to be cleaned. The dish soap is poured and the start button is pressed. Warm steam fills the air and water begins to mix with the soap. The water is all wishy washy and begins to clean away the yogurt on me. The warm water and misty steam is oh so relaxing. When the wash is done I am taken out, and put away for the next time that I am needed.

Daily Journal-Helping Mankind

I would invent a glue that could fix any problem. Broken car part? It would fix it. Broken heart? It would fix it. Ripped homework? It would fix it. Life would be so much better if glue was invented to fix anything broken or ruined.

Daily Journal-I Onced Dreamed About...

I once dreamed that I was in Colorado with a bunch of random people that I didn't know. Some faces were familiar but others were new. We were on a raft in a turbulent river. Everyone was screaming because we had just hit a rough patch in the current. The tour guide of the raft kept yelling, "brace yourselves" for what was coming ahead. I look our in front of the ship and see that the river has a dip in it. The river further down is much lower then the part we are travelling on right now. All I could think about was not flying off of the raft into the strong current with sharp rocks in it. We made way to the small waterfall in the river when I swear the raft folded in half. The tour guide was yelling commands on how to row and others were clinging to the raft for dear life. When we finally made it out of the water tornado, our trip was done with. Getting off the raft everyone was in shock and so happy to be on land again. Then I woke up and got ready for school. The end.

Daily Journal-I Wish Someone Had Told Me...

I wish someone had told me that geese hiss and snap when they feel they are intruded. I was riding my bike last summer on the sidewalk of a busy road. There was a huge flock of geese on the side of the road and spilling onto the sidewalk. There was no way around it. So I slowly ride my bike up to the pack of geese. I start to make my way through when they start hissing at me. Their beaks open wide and they start to snap. One tries to get my shoe while another goes for my wheel. My mom had told me before that if I ever got attacked by a crazy animal, to kick it in its mouth. I was to afraid out of my mind to do that. So I spead up and plow right through all the geese and their nasty feeces everywhere and make it out of the situation alive. Now when I see a flock of geese on the side walk I cross the street no matter where I am to avoid the situation at all cost.

Brain Storm Ideas

how I became frozen:
-I saw something I shouldn't have and they captured me and froze me
-The Ice Age had taken over while I was in Greenland
-I am investigating a case on aliens and the government comes after me and locks me up frozen for 100 years

what the world is like:
-an alien ship from the planet Venus has come to new york city and wants to "be friends"
-there are advances in technology such as jet packs, extreme cell phones, teleporters, medicine treatments etc...
-no one has seen an alien before but there had been rumors that they are there.
-people have become immune to most diseases due to the advances in medicine
-everyone thinks that the aliens and martians are going to be nice but they are really there to take over the world.
-govt officials have become traders against their country and turned to the dark side of the aliens
-shops and restaurants and entertainment is basically the same
-the aliens try to come and conquer the world.
-when the aliens come they put on disguises to look like normal human beings
-no one know who is an alien and who is not, except for in the broad daylight they get slight red spots on the undersides of their palms.
