Imagination Station

The Anatomy and Exploring Tech class took a field trip to the Imagination Station, which I grew up mostly calling it COSI until it was bought out, and we spent all day there checking out the different exhibits such as Bodies Revealed, and Water Works.  The first place that we stopped by was the Bodies Revealed, and although it was very interesting the look of creepiness or disgust would NOT leave my face. Seeing ACTUAL bodies outside of glass cases or protected was very unnerving. The only way I made it through was telling myself, "This is not real, these bodies are just plastic".  I had no clue what to expect from this exhibit but i'm glad I did experience it.  It wouldn't be a field I would like to work in, but it was still fascinating observing every single part of the human body.  Did you know there are over 100 thousand miles of veins that run through the human body?  Neither did I until I went and read it for myself.  It was definitely a learning experience well worth my time.

The Best Present Ever!

The best present that I have probably recieved would be my driver's training money and certificates. Even though the classes were not the most fun thing to do in the world, driving has given me so much more freedom. It also means that I have matured enough to take on this big responsibility which I will not misuse.  My truck is also very nice to have because it gets to me to and from where I want to go.  Although I do wish for a vehicle that is better on gas, my truck will have to suffice for right now.

My Weekend 10/8-10/9

My weekend was excellent!!! It started off with an Aggie victory over the Madison Trojans on their own homecoming last Friday night. That was fun to watch, but the next day is where the real fun began.  The cross country team went to the Hudson invitational and did excellent! I ran the best time of my year so far 24:39 for 3.1 miles with the help of Erica Oram pushing me along all the way to the finish.  It was tiring, it was a very long 24 minutes but I stuck with it and ran my legs to the ground.  It was a very fun day. After that all of the teams came together to do line dances. The cupid shuffle, the cha cha slide, the makarina, and the love shack.  It was one of the best days I have had with this team. It will not soon be forgotten. On Sunday I went bowling, looked at cars with my dad, Preordered Forza 4 ( a car racing video game), and watching Top Gear until I fell asleep.  That was my weekend, well spent and lengthy, thank goodness!

Fall Homecoming 2011

Well, my favorite week of the fall has come and past...Homecoming. To make it even worse it is my last Fall homecoming for SC as a student, no doubt that I will becoming back next year, but it has a different feeling if you are not participating in events.  This last week for Spirit week was fun also, but I wasnt really prepared for any of the days. I tried my best and our class actually won a day!! Supporting victims of domestic violence. Let's see Duct tape day was probably the most fun more me because of my mustache and soul patch which got a lot of laughs. All in all it was a really good week at Sand Creek High School, the boys won the game, the band sounded awesome, and  I lost my voice going crazy for the team!! It is bitter sweet to think about but, my last Fall homecoming was great. :)
