I like cold weather during the winter months,

but I wouldn't like it if it was cold all of the time.

I like skiing, snow, wearing coats, and turning

on the heater during the winter. But, my

favorite time of year is the summer when

I'm at the beach or the pool. My ideal day

is sitting out on the beach soakin' up the

sun and going into the ocean every once

in a while. I guess you could call me a beach babe:)

I am not a morning person. If I could, I would stay up all night and sleep during the day. On the weekdays, I set my alarm for 6:30 and usually don't get out of the bed until about 6:45. I've figured out I have to leave my house at the latest by 7:52 to get to school on time. On the weekends, when I don't have swim meets, I can sleep until 11 or 12 o'clock. I'm usually running to my first block to get there on time.

I really think that not eating breakfast can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Those who don't eat breakfast are likely to be more hungry throughout the day and eat more than those who do eat breakfast. Also eating breakfast will help raise your metabolism and you will be healthier than those who skip out.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth. ~Erma Bombeck

The quote means exactly what it says. Some parents don't trust their kids with a vehicle because they don't think they'll be safe with it. I think it applies to most parents and their kids to some extent. Parents are usually hesitant about letting their teen drive. They are even more hesitant about letting their teen drive their car because they question whether the teen and the car will get home in one piece.

I think the defeat by Covenant of Dallas Academy was shameful. The way the players continued to shoot 3-pointers into the 4th quarter was boastful and disrespectful. There should be some type of mercy rule like there is in football to prevent such a disgraceful win. It is acknowledgeable that the Covenant team apoligized but it still doesn't make up for the embarrassment that it caused the Dallas Academy team.

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. I have a myspace and a blogspot.

I've heard of a lot of girls in Coffee County sending nude pictures of themselves to others, but I never really thought of it as child pornography. But now that I think about it, it really is. Girls who participate in this sad act are really just desperate for attention. They don't realize that once you start something like that, it never goes away. You can't control who views the images or when to stop it.

Along with going to the Inauguration while in Washington, our group also went to a lot of other places. When we arrived on Saturday, we went to the Holocaust Museum. It was very sad and shocking to see the devastation that such hatred caused. We also went to the Air and Space Museum, Arlington Cemetary, and the Lincoln Memorial. Sunday we went to Mount Vernon, Ford's Theater, and we saw the White House. Monday we went to the national cathedral, the national history museum, and the natural history museum. I am so glad I had the opportunity to go on this trip. I know I will remember it forever.

On January 20, 2009, I was at the Presidential Inauguration. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. The morning of the inauguration, Ms. Quenzer and the rest of us waited in line for the metro along with a half a million other people. You could tell that everyone was happy and in a good mood. Everyone felt united and safe. At the Inauguration we were so far back, but there was a screen about a hundred feet away. Actually seeing such a historical moment take place and being part of it was indescribable. A day before the Inauguration there is a concert. After the Inauguration there is a parade and that night a ball.

Tanning and excessive sun exposure can cause severe damage to eyes.

Eye rubbing, yoga head stands, weightlifting, sleeping face down, playing instruments that require a lot of breath, swimming, and other activities that limit oxygen cause increased eye pressure and can lead to pressure-related eye diseases such as glaucoma,(which can lead to blindness) myopia, and short-sightedness.

Reading under dim light and sitting too close to the TV causes eye strain and damages eyes.
