Swine Flue and Hand Sanitizer.

Ok... the people who know me always see me with hand sanitizer and a camera... but the camera has nothing to do with this... it's the sanitizer. Since H1-N1 is spreading like crazy in the States, people are buying hand sanitizer like crazy. Me especially. I got the nasal spray for the swine flue and an injection to keep me from getting the regualr flu. @ My school... there is a little boy in first grade who's dad is dying from the swine flue. I can't release his name... but please pray for him. He couldn't breathe on his own and it's just really sad. Our school is a tiny school... since it's a private school... and so if a couple families get the swine flu... the whole school is exposed! That's a bit scary! Make sure to use HAND SANITIZER Please!!!!

Here are some good sanitizer brands...

Purell ®
Germ-x ®

Those are some good brands.
I hope you use sanitizer!

Thanks!

Oh... and another thing... DON'T DRINK OUT OF THE SAME CUP!! Like... when your friend offers you a sip of her slurpie or something like that... DON'T! Even your family members! Everyone has back wash... everyone has germs! When somone asks for a sip of your drink, say no! Or before you take a sip of it, pour a bit into a cup.

Study Study Study!!!

Ok... In my class, I'm doing a new unit! It's the constatution! My teacher said to STUDY LIKE THERE IS NOOOO TOMORROW!!!! Well... he didn't exactly say that, he just said to study a lot... I rephrased that and.. oh never mind! Any way... here are some tips for studying

1) Study is a cold room... not freezing... but cold enough so that you won't fall asleep.
2) Get some sented lotion and rub it on your hands... smell it while studying and before the test, put on the lotion and smell your hands and you'll remember!
3) If your trying to memorize something.... make it into a song... put the words your trying to memorize into a tune.
4) Have a friend or a parent quiz you on the subject your studying... if you get some stuff wrong you can always go back and study it. Just be thankful it wasn't the real thing! :)

Already thinking about college! :) :D

I know that I'm only in 8th grade... and college isn't until 5 years... but it's a good idea to think about what college you want to attend. Now.... me personally... I wouldn't want to go to a community college... I might take a couple writing classes there after I graduate college. My friend, Kirsten and I want to go to Seattle Pacific University! (One of the reasons we want to go is because the original starbucks is there :D) But... while were talking about colleges... we get into what major are you? I'm probably a writing major. I'm NO music major, I'm NO math major, I guess I'm a English major... and a photography major... if there is such thing as that. I want to become a journalist or a collumnist! That would be fun! Work for a paper in Washington... or go to New York and work on the New York Times! That would be awesome!!! I'm still going to write my novels. I'm working on one now! Well... back to the college thing (I don't want to go to far in my diagression) I'm not going to be completely on my own, neither my friend Kirsten! I mean, were so close that we'll keep each other on our toes and since we live in Oregon... we won't be that far away from home! I can't wait for college! It's going to be fun....!!! I know that Seattle is not the SAFEST city around... but hey... I'll take self defense classes (That was supposed be funny... if ur not laughing) Any way... I've wanted to go to Yale... but then I thought about the cost for an Ivy League school like that... and plus it's in Connecticut... WAY TO FAR AWAY!!! So... Seattle Pacific U. is perfect because it's in Washington and Washington has the similar weather to Oregon (rainy, my fav weather!).

I love photography!!!

Here is some of my work. I love photography!!

No dating here! And proud of it!

Ok... I'm getting to the age where it's "ok" to date... I'm not sure if I want to. Well.... all the guys in my class, well.... most of them, are a waste of my time. ALL of them... well again, most of them, are jerks! Why date a jerk??? A lot of girls ask themselves that question. I decided that I'M NEVER GOING TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP! Except with God and Jesus! I don't care what people say, if they call me an old hag because I'll get married... eventually.... I don't know.... Well... what guy would like me? I'm NOT that attractive... I'm rather ugly. Well.... Any how, no guy likes me and I'm soooo ok with that. I'm going to get on with my favorite of the day...

AUNTIE ANN'S PRETZELS!!! Omg! The salted ones are THE best!!!

I Love Lucy/Rainy day...

I always do my homework first before I do anything else (such as watch tv, computer, read, write, etc.) If I do it when I first come home... I don't have to worry about it later... well... let's get to the topic of this post. Since today was rainy :) (which I loved) and since I love watching I Love Lucy, decided why not watch one today??? I Love Lucy goes great with chocolate! I ate fudge brownie ice cream! I'm in the 6th season of the series and even though I've seen ALL of them... it's still fun to watch them over and over again! (You'll NEVER get tired of them)

This is the link to youtube.com of my favorite episode of all time of I Love Lucy!
