Senior Last Week....A bittersweet feeling indeed. I am so excited to get out early only because I can start my summer earlier, but there is still going to be a lot to be done for college.  Orientation, placement testing, all of these necessary things I still need to do.  Anyways, focusing on Senior Week, I still have a lot to be done in school, exams, and a few other assignments. I don't feel I can completely relax yet, which bums me out.  I am tired, and I haven't gotten a break in a few weeks. My home life has been crazy with Bowling, Golf, and anything else that my mom adds to the calendar. I don't know how much more I can take but I am graduating which makes the craziness that much better. I will miss everyone terribly.

Prom

In my opinion this year was just ok. My date and I were extremely tired from bowling earlier that day, plus driving 6 + hours made me even more tired out. We were in the Flint area for USBC State Championships, which was fun, but not well planned out with all of our activities during prom time. 
The Prom in general is overrated though, a lot of money is spent for just a few hours spent dancing, i've never felt that "magical" feel seniors and juniors are suppose to feel. The best part about Prom was probably the dinner, I went out with Josh Lewis, Luke Reno, and a few others, we had a lot of laughs and the food was great too.  We did not go to afterprom because the next morning we had to wake up and bowl 6 more games near the Flint area yet again.

Facebook

I do have a Facebook  account, and I am on it probably once or twice a day.  I mostly use my Facebook account to post good things that have gone on in my life, sport updates, something that I found interesting on the internet, saying my birthday greetings to a friend, or I even use it as a calendar of events that are going on around me.  I never use to to verbally bash someone though, that is not right.   So many people have to be on Facebook because it fits there gossip-like personality, they have to know what is going on at all times, or to even tell others what they are going to do five minutes from now, which also gets EXTREMELY annoying.  Plus it is also dangerous, somebody could break into your house if you tell Facebook that you are "leaving for town soon, lol!!"  When I first saw Facebook I saw it as an opportunity for friends to share different things they might like so that "Friends" on Facebook can better connect to each other, that's who I think should use Facebook.

Three positives of Facebook

1.  Share good news that goes on in life.

2.  Games are available to played, even games that need friends to help out in.

3.  Acquaintances from different schools or even states can reconnect.

Three negatives of Facebook

1.  Cyber-bullying is made easier.

2.  Personal Information is readily available for anyone.

3.  Facebook accounts can be hacked easily.

A person can not truely have hundreds "friends" that they can hang out with, see everyday and still be happy to be with each day.  People on Facebook book all have acquaintances that they know and talk to once in a while.  If a person is able, they will 'friend' the whole school community, but most of the times it gets to hectic on Facebook for that many people.

Spring Break Blog!

Over spring break I really didnt do much. I golfed on Monday at the Lenawee Country Club, which was fun but I then got a MASSIVE headache from being in the sun so long and that eventually lead to the chills and me being sick for a few days.  It was not a fun start to my spring break.  It did get better though, I bowled later on that week and hung out with a few people.  My birthday was also during spring break and it was held surprisingly at the bowling alley!  That Saturday morning I had bowling league, it was my last day of bowling league also, so it was cosmic bowling and the music was blaring, pizza was handed out and before I knew it my mom comes in with my birthday cake! I was so surprised and happy that I actually was surprised for once on my birthday! I bowled a 300 and a 278 that day also ( it was 9 pin no tap, so don't tell anyone..).  That is what my spring break consisted of, all in all a good week.

Nothing Better

There is nothing better than the feeling of that pure bowling shot, perfect balance, the perfect speed, the sound of all ten bowling pins falling, the walk back to your seat like you own the bowling alley for a split second, there IS NOTHING better.  The feeling of accomplishment is great, and you can relax because that frame is complete and you can concentrate on the next frame.
