Something To Be Thankful for....

WELCOME!


Just some highlights from our 2011 Thanksgiving Feast!















Have A Great Blessed Holiday Season!

Its That Time of Year again!.....

yeah, the picture should say it all!

Have A Great Day!

Does It Resemble?

WELCOME!

Ok, so about 2 months ago, I posted that my buddy Kris and I were going to make well try to attempt making Saint Peters Basilica in Rome for a project in Mrs. Minch's World History Class. All I have to say is that, after 2 months, about 25 hours, abuot $30.00 worth of materials we are done!






Here is how it looked like (by the way the background is at Mrs. Minch's classroom)







Here is an image that I found from google images.

Some people say that it looks soo great! and some said that it was simply "ok". To me, I think taht Kris and I put all our efforts in it and that we have tried our best so whatever we get, we get.

Now the question is: What do you think, does it resemble??


Have A Great Day!

3 Day Week + 3 Day Week = YEAH!

WELCOME!

Due to the fact that I was gone last week for the National Catholic Youth Convention down in Indianapolis, and this week ahead of me its only 3 days due to the fact that Thanksgiving break is this week, I mean what could be better than that? Ok.. so this week here are the plans:

Thursday ~ Mass at 8:30 am, then watching the Thanksgiving Day parade on tv, along with decorating the house for Christmas! While I do that, throughout the day, I will help my mother cook the turkey, the mashed potatoes, the collard greens, and the pie! Oh yes, I can't wait until Thanksgiving is here!

Friday ~ Hopefully we get to go "Black Friday" shopping, I mean we went last year at about 5 am, but this year, my mother and I plan to go at 10 pm and to stay til at least 6 am, oh gracious, I am going to need a lot and i mean A LOT of coffee!

Have A Great Day!

I Feel Blessed!...

WELCOME!

For the past two (2) days, I had the privilege to travel to Indianapolis for the National Catholic Youth Convention and to help out with Fountains of Hope organization that installs water purifying systems to take to third (3rd) world countries like Haiti, India etc. So I was so happy and very thankful for the opportunity to help out with this great cause!

So Thursdsay we left the school hopped on the while short bus and headed for Indianapolis! I enjoyed the ride on the way there with people. I also got to meet two (2) new people. Alissa McMillen and JD Keller. Alissa is the daughter of Gary McMillan and JD is the elementary business teacher here at South Adams. Anyways, back to my story.

So Thursday we went to Indianapolis and we saw tons of people and booths. We also showed a couple of people how to install water purifying systems, and give them facts about it. Technically, there wasn't a group assigned, but throughout the past 2 days I was part of Ellerie and Abbie's group.

So the whole Thursday that's what we did, after that we checked into a hotel, got a room, unpacked and got ready to eat. Now, Chili's wasn't the first thing on my mind, but I figured that it would be fine, since I don't always get to eat out with people that I normally don't hang out with. Supper went by pretty well, we went back to the hotel and hung out at the lobby for at least two hours, it was ridiculous but it was fun!

Friday morning came, breakfast and then back to the Indianapolis Convention Center for another exciting day working with Fountains of Hope. Abbie, Ellerie and I ended up selling water bottles for the proceeds going to the organization! Well there are so many things that I want to say, but I am just so tired and I need to head to bed, I have a whole day full of homework, and essays to write! But overall, the trip was exciting, and I am thankful for God for giving me this day always, and for giving me this life that I truly take advantage off!

Have A Wonderful Day!

Halfway Through!

WELCOME!

I can not believe that it is already (almost) half way through the month of November! I also can not believe that the school is about one- fourth compeleted! So many things are happening and boy is my calendar booked already for the months of November and December. Things that are coming up ahead:

11 ~ 11/ November 2011, (11-11-11) which means that English Test, and Chemistry Test are given on that day! Hoorah! (sense the sarcasm!)
12 ~ CYO Chili Supper (I will be serving so come support us!)
17-18/ ~ Catholic Youth Convention in Indianapolis (hope to see alot of youth's there!)
24-25/~ Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving Break (probably no shopping this year, who knows?)
27/ ~ First Sunday of Advent, and also the new translation of the Mass comes!

Oh, wow, I am very much already poooped out and ready for Thanksgiving Break, however, I am also raedy for the Catholic Youth Convention, I think that it is going to be a blast seeing nearly 30,000 youths there from all over the nation!

Have A Great Day!
