Extended Weekend

During my mini vaction, a very close friend of our family who was like an uncle to me passed away Thrusday afternoon. So that is where most of my weekend went to. But then on Saturday evening after the funeral I had to go to Marisa's surprise 16th birthday party. That even we all gathered at her house and surprised her. She was shocked and kind of mad that we all knew about it but didn't drop any hints off. It was really fun. During the partywe all sang karaoke and danced to some music. For her present I painted a canvas with a quote about friendship. We had so much fun and the cake was really good!!!! I played Apples to Apples for the first time and I thought it was pretty fun.

Prezi

Prezi in an online presentation site. It is different from Power Point because it is online and you can have more that one person working on it at a time. Three tips for first time users: don't move the pictures around, let one person set up the presentation, and be patient.

Think Fast

A time when I had to think on my feet and come up with something fairly quickly was when I was at the soccer fields and the whole team was running. It was very hot and humid outside. Our goal was to push ourselves for the last time before the season started to get 2 miles under 16 minutes. While we were running Katelyn May fainted while she was running. She couldn't breathe and since I was finished running my mile I went to the other fields to get her bag and inhaler. During this time someone had called the ambulance and both guys and girls team had stopped practicing. When Katelyn was taken away Coach Poole led us in a prayer for Katelyn. That is a time I had to think on my feet.

Christmas Break

Over Christmas Break I went on a Carribean cruise. My trip began when I boarded the Adventure of the Seas December 19, 2010. I boarded the boat in Puerto Rico. Then the next morning we were in St. Thomas. There I went shopping and to the beach. The water was very cold there. The next day we were in St. Martin and we toured the Dutch and French side of the island. I also went snorkeling later that day. The third day we were in Grenada also known as St. George. In Grenada we went up the mountains and through the city. We saw a waterfall. It was drizzling that day so we could not do much. The last port of call we went to was St. Lucia. While we were there it would not stop raining so we weren't able to explore the island so we just shopped in the area near the dock. On Christmas day it was a sea day so we had to stay on board. During Christmas day I saw the internatioanl ice skaters perform and Santa came to the boat on a little boat. Later that day we scrap booked our trip. The last day was the day we had to say goodbye. It was quite depressing. Then we stayed two days in Ponce which is in Puerto Rico. There I played beach volleyball, swam, played tennis, and soccer. That is what concluded my trip.
