Summer Camp & Utah 2011

This summer I went to two different camps. Scout camp and a service camp at Birch Creek Ranch in Spring City, Utah. We did service at the ranch and in the community for the first 4 hours of each day, then the rest of the time we did arts and crafts, reading, hiking, camping, water sports and I also worked on writing my book quite a bit. It was an awesome experience!! I hope to go back every year and eventually be a camp counselor. Being away from my family for 3 1/2 weeks wasn't so bad, but I was ready to come home by the time it was over. I met a lot of cool guys there and my dad's friend Adam Bateman (the director) was really fun to hang out with too.

My grandparents flew in from Texas to drive to Utah with my family to pick me up, it was fun showing them around the camp and then spending 4 days at my Uncle Jeff's house.

We had a great time camping with the cousins and making a movie.

We also had a barbecue with our extended family including my Great Grandma Betty. I got to see her new assisted living home and all her new friends. I miss my family and love going to Utah.

Thomas

Thomas is my amazing friend that i made in fifth grade when immaturity was everywhere. Me, him and my other friend Soren had never gone to school there before and immediately were friends. We always did everything together from science experiments to practical jokes. That year Soren moved to Wisconsin and the trio was no more. Now, this was going to be his last school year here so me and the help of my girly accomplices planned a surprise party for him. Though there was drama at school and we didn't surprise him just the way we planned it worked out in the end and we made it the most memorable thing of the year. We blew up soda bottles, played volleyball and even got chased by my angry neighbor. By the end we were all laughing and happy. Thomas is the greatest friend i've had and even though he never approved of all the girl trouble i got into we always found something to laugh about.

Bad News

Just recently a terrible thing happened at our house. The computer crashed... This means that all my books which i have been working on for 6 years went down the drain. This same thing happened to my cousin Timothy a little while back. And hes like 14... But after hearing his story and learning from others mistakes i geniusly saved my books to my email and printed them off. This means that everythings ok and my dream is not delayed. Yeah Me!!!

School time!!!

Okay everyone, haven't blogged for a while now so don't be mad it's not so easy to do (especially if you're in middle-school). So today I'm going to talk about school... I go to school at ALA (American leadership academy) and it is the best school Ive ever been to. Ive been going there 2 years now. Well first off are the classes. History: This class is one of my favorites, it is taught by Mr. Whitlock (who also drives my bus) and we've learned about everything from ancient Greece to Karl Marx. He is really funny and nice and everyone likes him. English is taught by Mrs. Provencher who really likes cats. She has a bunch of posters of them in her classroom. I swear their eyes follow you around. I like her because she gives us a lot of rewards (we still have to work for them). Literature: This class is DA BOMB!!!! It is my favorite by far. The teacher is Mrs. Baker and she is super nice. I'm actually doing a book report on the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien right now. Ive entered a reading contest on there. 23 hours in one week, i hope i win. Spanish is muy bien. It is taught by Mrs. Brandt who is really nice. Everyone has a Spanish name that they choose and mine is Chauncho. Right now we are learning about food names and conjugating -er and -ir verbs. Math is pretty sweet. I was bumped up to pre-algebra (8th grade math). It was hard at first but know I'm pretty good at it. The teacher Mrs. Erickson is really nice and is a math whiz. P.E. is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. The teacher is Mr. Huggins and he gets us pumped and active everyday with new and exciting games. We also get to go to discovery park every day. Science is awesome. It is taught by Mr. Ray who is super cool. He lets us do fun projects and watch science movies at school. Unfortunately he is leaving so Mrs. Constantine is filling in for the rest of the year. I've only had her for about two days now so I'm still not sure about her. That's pretty much it so stay tuned.
