Swine Flu

Well there have been school closures all over Oregon. And not just K-12 either. Right now Western Oregon University is closed.

Now my school district announced today that it is closed Monday and Tuesday. If the kid who has Swine Flu has it for sure, 100%, it could be all week. I'm so excited that I have no school!!! :) It's kind of a bitter sweet feeling though. Whoever it is that got the flu, best of wishes!

It is kind of funny though that it's been so dramatized.... Way more people die of the actual regular flu a year.. here's a link to an article that made me laugh... I don't know maybe I have a sick sense of humor... but this is just another flu... and it's sad yes... but way over exaggerated!!

here's the link....

Prom

Well Prom has come and gone... and I've been really lazy in posting about it. :/ So here are some pics and they aren't in any particular order... the events happened in random order. :)


The whole group... I posted doubles of both because I couldn't decide which ones looked better... but this is the crew!

More group pics and again they're doubles. Me, Ryley(my date), Kaitlin, Jordan, Dana, and John.

Me getting pics taken before Ryley showed up.
Me again.
The corsage my parents got me. :) I loved it!
Pinning on Ryley's boutonniere. haha I think I was looking at his mom's camera and he was looking at mine! :) that's funny!
Trying really hard not to stab him.
hahaha ok this one just made me laugh! Uncle Sid was really getting into the song!
We were waiting for John and the group to show up, and it was boring so we ended up playing Guitar Hero World Tour. :)


We had a lot of fun! We ate at Bugatti's and then headed to PSU for prom. :) It was set up really nice and if we got too hot there was a balcony that they lined with candles (haha they didn't have a real flame though. They were little battery opperated candles but looked really nice!). Then we left the dance at about 11 and our group plus some decided to get dessert at Sherie's. I didn't get home 'till about 2 in the morning! It was a lot of fun! However my feet were killing me for 2 day's afterwards!

My dress

This is my dress!!! I LOVE IT! :) I'm going to find some red heels to go with it. :) I'm so excited!!

Prom

Well... I got asked to Prom! :) I'm really excited! I didn't think that I was going to go at all, and I was even telling Karen and others that I doubted I was going.. then I got asked! Who knew? (well actually everyone did but me) So I'm going to prom... (and this is a picture of the rose he gave me) now I just need to find a dress.

Valkyrie

I went to see Valkyrie with my mom today after I went canning with her. It is a really good movie. It's based on a true story about the last plot to kill Hitler, and boy were they ever close! If they had gotten all the timing right on their plan they would have been able to overthrow him.. however some people stalled a little in doing their jobs. It was really good! It had a sad ending, but it was done very well and I would see it again! So there's my little movie review. (oh and my picture is too big... so to see it in full just click on it.)

Back on Schedule

I'm loving being back at school and on a routine and having a day full of something to do! I've been seeing a lot of my friends.. doing homework... and waiting for the musical chaos to start. :) The Semester is almost over so I will have almost all new classes. Weight Training, Economics, and Governments are all only semester classes... so I'm going to have to get with my councelor to fill in some classes (he pointed out to me at the beginning of the year that I'll have empty spots in my schedule that I'll need to fill at the end of the semester). So I'm just lovin' life right now!

New Year!!

So my New Years Eve was pretty fun! We went ice skating with a bunch of friends... and I only fell once!! Pretty good for my first time! Then we went to eat out at Red Robins with my family and two friends.... Emma's friend Rebecca... and Karen. Then we dropped Karen off at home and picked up Tayler from his friends house.. and Jackie and I got the car and headed down to Karen's house to wait until we could go up to the Matiaco's house. When we got to the Matiaco's house some of the people there decided to go to the church to shoot nerf guns! It was a lot of fun... and we also played some basketball. Then we went back to the Matiaco's and watched a movie... then headed down to Karens house so she wouldn't get in trouble with her parents and were there to see some fireworks set off in the neighborhood. (some of them were the illegal kind... so they were really cool fireworks! :) not the screamers and such). So my night... day was pretty great!
