The Hunger Games

So I have read the hunger games before and loved it. Now I am reading it again and cant put it down!!!! Its a miracle that I am posting right now. This book is amazing and makes me want to keep reading. I strongley dislike the ending though. :( But that's ok. :)

Life has been crazy and so distracting, that my book is my only escape sometimes. I even read it during english when we are supposed to be reading a different book. Sorry Mrs. Ettinger!!!!!!! This is my new favorite book. And if any one cares, I would LOVE the rest of the series for my birthday in July. :)

Now that I think about it, my birthday is coming fast. But not before Mikah comes down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIRL SCREAM!!!!!!! I did that at school today. Come to think of it, I do that a lot. oops. Oh well. People just GET to live with the fact that I squeel like a Girl sometimes. If you dont like it, then you can pack up your suit case, and leave. Because I am not leaving.

Speaking of leaving, where did my book go? Donde esta Hunger Games? Haha. This reminds me of soccer season. Where is Erin. I need to ask her something. ERIN!!!!!!!!! Donde esta rojo pelota?

Anyway, I figure I should stop getting distracted and do my english homework. But before I go, do you want to know something? My spanish homework was easier than me english homework is going to be. Oh well. I will build a bridge, and get over it. Or as Sam woulde say, I am going to cry out loud in the sink. :)

Friendship

Okay. It has been a long time since i have posted on my blog. So i will explain why the sudden start up. So today i had a bad day at school with my friends. But luckily, I had one person there to comfort me. Sage. Sage is a great friend and is there for you when you need her. So thank you Sage. Sage and I havent been friends for long, but I already know that we will be friends for a very long time. We may have completely different personalities, but we have one important thing in common. We are there for each other. So thank you Sage. You are a forever friend.

BOYS

Have any of you noticed that the boys at school are stupider this year? Last year is you liked one of them, you were are girlie around them and they noticed after a while. this year, they won't. My friend Todd is in my CTE class. Yesterday, since it was Pizza day, and my locker is close to the CTE room, I let him but his CTE stuff in my locker to be a good friend. I said he could put it in as long as he came and got it after lunch.

Guess what!!!!!! He didnt come get it. I had to take it to science with me, and give it to him. Boys should pay more attention to Girls. I dont think they have learned that they arent the only people in the school. Girls matter too. A boy cant just take advangtage of a girls locker because its close, or forget that they even existe. I am sending this to you, because if you like a boy, you know how this feels. If you dont like a boy yet, you will soon. Girls should be included. Not ignored, taken advantage of, or forgotten.

Girls matter too. These are the things that will make a girl feel bad about herself, and will make her think that shes no- longer important. So I am here to say that YOU are IMPORTANT. You DO matter to some one. Dont let stupid boys change your mind. Girls need to be included, talked to, and Remembered. So heres to all you girls who feel, or have felt this way before. You MATTER.

A song that goes to this topic is " Invisible" By Taylor Swift.

We just need to laugh. One day we will look back and laugh at the stupid things the boys did. It might not be funny, but it will be.

Timpanogos Cave

Today the 6th grade went on a field trip to Timpanogos Cave. We hiked up 1 1/2 miles to get to the cave. We went inside the cave. It is so cool!!! :) This is near the entrance.



We got to go in all Three of the Caves. Hansen Cave, Middle Cave, and last but most Famous, Timpanogos Cave!!!! Hansen Cave is named after the man that found the cave. His last name was Hansen. Duh!!!!


This is in Timpanogos Cave. It is dripping water from the Stalactites. It is so cool!! :) If you touch them, they turn brown, and die. So we can't touch anything in the caves at all.

This is what the park rangers call the " Hershey Kiss". It really looks like one. We hadn't eaten lunch yet, so when I saw this I got hungry.

While we were having Lunch, a worker fell of the cliff where we came out of the caves. He had to be life Flighted. We immediately had to get on the bus. Here is a link so that you can read the rest of the story.

Crying

Today I had a melt down at school. I cried twice. People always say " It's harder on the person moving, than the person staying." That is not true at all. I mean sure, it's hard making friends and going to a school where you know no one. But, have you ever thought about how hard it is for the person losing there best friend?

Today, when I was crying the first time, my aid, and friend, said " If you didn't love Mikah, would you be crying and missing her right now? Are you going to stop making friends because it hurts when they move? No you're not. Because getting hurt, reconnecting, and loving someone is part of life."

Today we did our solar ovens. It was only Shaylee and I because Mikah was in our group but moved before we did them. We left the door open so that the sun would cook the cookie. Shaylee decided that she wanted to close the door. I said no because it wouldn't help. Her friends immediately said she did it all when she really didn't. Her friends and her talked behind my back because I took the door down.

One of the girls that I thought was my friend, talked behind my back. I am hurting inside so much, that I don't even know who my true friends are besides Mikah, Cicily, Emma, Cora, Hannah, Mikayla, and Mrs. Williams.
I am feeling bad about my self.

I stood up for myself against Shaylee ( Miss Popular) and then fell down ( not litterally) but fell onto Emma, Cora, and Mikayla. I am so used to having Mikah there for me to fall on. IT's not the same without her. Whatever any one says, it will never be the same.

" Friends are something that you should always Cherish. Friends are unique and special. They are always there.
If you lose one, you will regret whatever it is that you did to end the friendship. It will re-play, and re-play in your mind. What ever you do, it won't fix it. You can apoligize, but that doesn't mean it will go back to how it was before."

Goodbye

MY BEST FRIEND Mikah moved yesterday. There was a lot of crying at school and at her house. The song that best describes the move is " Tied Together With A Smile" By Taylor Swift. Another song that describes the departure is " A Place In This World" also By Taylor Swift.

After Mikah left I went home and cried. After crying I called my friend Emma. I went to her house. While I was there we were listening to her IPod. The songs we were listening to were all Taylor Swift songs. In each song we could find something that reminded us of Mikah.

At 8:00 p.m. was our sixth grade star party at our school. Everything there reminded us of Mikah. We had to leave the bi playground because the tire, slides, monkey bars, everything reminded us of her. The four squares and the tire were the hardest on the playground. We always played four square and played on the tire.

We couldn't go onto the field so we had to go to the little playground for the kindergartners and first graders. Sadly the little playground had a four square ball, slides and equipment that the big playground had. We walked around that for a while until we saw our teacher.

Mikah, the hardest part to listen to in " Tied Together With A Smile" was " Hold on baby your losing it, the waters high your jumping into it letting go, and no one knows that you cry, but you don't tell anyone, that you might not be the golden one, and your tied together with a smile, but your coming undone."
The hardest part to listen to in " A Place In This World" is " I don't know what I want, so don't ask me, 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out. Don't know whats down this road, I'm just walking, trying to see through the rain coming down. Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. I'm alone, on my own, I'll be strong, Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world."
You will always be loved. Even if you are in Oklahoma and the rest of us are in Utah.

We miss you and still
