I havent used Xanga in forever and a decade. I am using it currently bc some of my camp hommies have one and I'd like to keep up on them when I can. I miss you guys all so so so much and I feel truly blessed to have great friends from all around

I was reading a comment in Danielle's journal to Heather, and she said she was 20 and didnt have her license and it freaked me out... but not the license part... I've got mine... its the 20 part. I see Danielle as a friend and as a mentor. The scary thing is... my boyfriend is the same age as her. It really makes me feel weird...being that I see them as different. Like, I'd tell Danielle things and I tell AJ things, but its a totally different feeling of connection because Danielle was authority for me in the summer.
(well for the most part )

so if you camp hommies (Heather and Danielle) want details etc or you would like to share things about your life... I am an open book to you because I trust you and I love you!

i think that would b it

Friday: Party with kimmy .... we went to hard rock cafe for her bday and since it was corys too, the ppl at the restaurant made them stand up on chairs and they had the microphone and everyone was all like KISS HER!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT! omg it was hilarious...they were both mortified it was craziness....
then we went to kimmys and had ice cream cake and cory got his many cards , one for each year... and kimmy got her matchbox 20 cd and etc etc.... we watched intolerable cruelty and lauren didnt get it, i thought it was stupid... and then i fell asleep while we watched alex and emma. (btw cory went home around 10:30 in his big ass trucker van that he drove me and lauren in to kimmys house) then we went to bed at like 2:30 ish and woke up at like 10 ....
oh yea...before that i went shopping with josh to get his gf a present , and i bought a white shirt with pink lace around the neck and 3/4 sleeves and it said in pink "prima ballerina dance school" or somn like that and it had a pretty silloutette of a ballerina... and i got a pink skirt that was really cute but my parents didnt like it!!!

so Saturday: I had to return the skirt and since i acted all sad and pathetic since my dad said it was too short, he bought me a tan skirt, a purple flowy flowery one that im gonna wear on wednesday (retro day @ school) and umm we went to best buy and we bought
How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days Soundtrack
Nora Jones - Feels like Home
Matchbox 20- the one i got kimmy lol....
Ungrateful Dead...somn... idk it was my dads choice
and some country guy...Kenny Chesney or somn and hes HOT and he has a COWBOY HAT ... i figured out that i have some sorta fettish for cowboy hats....

so after some panic that kilian wasnt going cuz he called trying to find out if he had a ride etc etc and then ashley thought we were supposed to b there way earlier than we were supposed to so we panicked then too until we found out we were right before .... so we picked up kilian at my church since i didnt feel like giving him instructions to the other church.... even tho it was like down the street lol ..... and we figured out wut we were doing and we drove to the EMU arena campus area thinggy and waited in the cold in line .... we talked like the whole way there and back, hes a cool kid... idk if i like him AS much, idk it just didnt feel like he likes me in that way but hes very hard to read since i thought he changed his mind the next day...idk he confuses me..he should go back to germany. but i got a picture! i have to finish the roll and get it developed and all will b good.... and oh yea so the concert itself was pretty good , like at first idk it was weird but then Relient K and Audio Adreneline came on and it got good cuz kilians great idea was to go to the mosh pit so we went and me him, jeanine leBrell and danielle somn somn from the swim team lol danced there.... it was a very christian event, u could definetly tell thaT was their intention... but neways during audio adreneline the singers were getting ppl on stage to dance and this one guy was supposed to take the microphone and sing a line of the song, but instead he goes 'whoa there, stop the music!' and so they stop and then he gets his gf up on stage and he PROPOSES TO HER omg it was so great.... i want someone to do that for me!!! o and every cowboy hat we saw either me or kilian pointed it out bc by then my fettish was clear lol... much fun

so sunday , apparently i cant set my alarm... cuz i got home at like 1230 after driving him home and i was sad cuz my momma wouldnt let me drive him, she let me drive ashley home tho...they were all afraid lol... and then um yea i set my alarm to the wrong time so i didnt go to church... and then i tried calling amanda to figure out when the sledding thing louge was at and she wasnt home yet so i was like ok ill take a shower...so when i get out ... my dad is like...someone is on the fone for u...the church was wondering where i was cuz i was planning on coming to the louge thing and im like ok ill b there in 10 minutes!!! lol someone musta told them that i was coming...either kilian or amanda idk who w/e ... so we went to subway and i was in the car with almost all my fav church ppl...stephen houghan, kilian, katie greenup, and tim... tim is nice but i like amanda better lol so when we got to the louge thing..it was like this big ice run where u go down with ppl in a sled... me katie , stephen and tracie houghan went down a bunch of times and tried to get a better MPH... the best one i got was when i went with katie and chris greenup and we got 33 Mph!! yea go us! i only went down with kilian once .. it was me, katie kilian then stephen to put the weight in the back since i weigh the least(and am loosing alot... 2 weeks ago i was 130 , yesterday i weighed myself at 121 its frightening) but we only got like 31 mph and i think it was kilian cuz he had his hands around katie but someone was pulling my hair and it hurt! lol ok im done ... o yea and i think stephen may have a thing for me, but its just a guess... idk ... maybe ill ask bri, he talks to her alot...i just got that impression idk if its rite tho...

Reflection on The Science Fair Project:

In order to have a successful science fair project, my partner and I had to plan out what we were planning on doing. Back in October, we came up with the idea for our science fair project and continued to restate the problem and experiment so that it fit with a real world plausible situation. Once we got our experiment and problem straight, we got the  supplies in order to commence experimentation. We gathered leaves from outside before they were taken away, even though we were not planning on planting them yet, we had to plan to get the leaves before they were gone so we could successfully begin our experiment. We did some research on which kind of grass seed grows fastest and found the right type of seeds to match the research. We were able to find out that the variable temperature in the location of the growing plants was a good temperature to keep the specimens healthy. In order to be successful with this experiment, we had to have a lot of clear communication. We worked together when  collecting materials, planting the specimens, doing a second trial, and constructing the data display. Without communication between us we would have had notable discrepancy on our data display of the final product from our research and scientific trials. Compared with another group, we did approximately the same amount of research and constructed a similarly constructed project. Since most people chose to do experimentation on plants, our idea was hardly original. When comparing communication between our group and another group (Samantha and Lauren) we found out that our group did much more communicating and working together on the project. When this other group communicated, they spoke on the phone but did not frequently get together to work on the project. Compared with the amount of time taken to devise their experiment, our project took more effort and thought to relate it to everyday life and a feasible experiment. If we were to make improvements upon this particular idea and make the science fair project we did better, we receive some suggestions from both Mr. Tucker and Dr. Boatin. Mr. Tucker suggested that we should have added a more conclusive abstract so the judges and critics will know exactly the outcome of our project. He also suggested we research how to reference our sources. Dr. Boatin told us that we should try and answer a different question and make a more general hypothesis, since we just took a guess basically to determine which plant would grow the fastest. He suggested that after we received results that a particular plant grew faster, we should have tried changing different variables with just that type of plant. We could be discovering the answer to a better question and achieve a better real world connection. If I were to generally state how our science fair could have been better, it would be that there should have been more research involved, and more experimentation. Our question and answer could have been better to enable us to get better remarks from the judges. If we decide to do anther science fair project in the not too distant future, we would use the suggestions given to us to try and better our overall project.
