Week #16 525,600 minutes

2016 has been a pretty  good year so far. I can't believe its almost over and were almost done with our first semester of junior year! The beginning of this started started out with being in basketball and that season went pretty well, and it definitely went better than this season. Softball also was in the spring and it was good and I played summer ball in the summer. Summer ball wasn't wonderful but I guess I still had fun. It was just different playing with people all younger than me. Also this year I have lost and gained some friendships but I think it was for the better. Not much bad has happened this year but some changes gave happened. One change is in the beggining of the year I had a different travel volleyball coach than I do now. Also I turned 16 and now I have my license and a car, so that's exciting. Back to sports, volleyball season went pretty well especially considering all that happened. Overall, 2016 was a good year and I hope 2017 is just as good or better!

Week #15 Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons

What's the coolest thing I have created wih the snow? Well I have never been a huge fan of the snow, but I guess I have created a huge snowman with my sisters. Also one time we made a few snow fort type things and had a snowball fight. The snowman that we built was a little taller than me and we had to use a ladder. It took almost all day, but it was worth it because it turned out to be pretty neat. The fort we built was pretty easy to create and we did that when I was around 10 years old. After it was built we had a snowball fight for quite a while. Another time we tried to build an igloo but it never really worked. If I had unlimited snow and wouldn't get cold and if I was creative I would try to build a snow house.

Week #14 Under the Floorboards

A wide open trap door!? Well I guess I will investigate. At first it is pitch black and I have no idea what to expect so I am beyond terrified. As I keep walking, I walk right into a door. As I open the door a whole bunch of light comes pouring into the dark. This takes some of the fright away from me and now I am just very curious. As I walk in, I  spot Madison just partying it up and now it all makes sense why she always stays after school "to get help on homework". Basically I just become astonished that Madison kept this whole thing a secret.

Week #13 You Day Parade

My parade would be full of all those giant balloons. I think those are very interesting and who isn't amazed by a giant character balloon. Not only would I have character balloons, but I would also have some sports balloons because I enjoy sports. I really enjoy seeing and listening to marching bands and the floats with musicians. In the parade I would have ten of the best marching bands and I would let Madison pick out all of the musicians that would be on the floats. Madison would pick the musicians because I don't listen to music often; therefore I wouldn't know what musicians to pick. New York would be where I would choose to have my parade and I would let anybody come to it. I would ride in a huge float towards the end of the parade to be featured and I would hope everybody enjoys the parade!

Week #12 Thorns and Roses

Monday sure seems like a while ago. There were both thorns and roses throughout the week, mostly thorns, but also a few great roses. First of all, the thorns. Basketball has been a thorn all week. We lose by a lot and nobody but Madison and I know what the plays are. We lost to Lamoille and Stark County by at least 40 points and tonight will probably be the same thing. In the beginning of the week, my dad thought he would be nice and start my car and he ended up locking my keys in the car so I was late for school.Another thorn would be my ankle is inured and even though I ice it, it is still purple and blue. Since my ankle is injured, my first volleyball practice didn't go as well as I wanted it to so practice was both a thorn and rose. It was a rose because I love volleyball and travel season is my favorite. Also my coach has all kinds of tandems and patterns that we will run and learning most of them was a huge rose this week. Another rose would be my grandparents got back from their cruise and we went out to dinner with them. A rose I am looking forward to tomorrow is I get to go to my grandparents house and they are going to tell my whole family about the cruise we are going on next November. Overall, this week there have probably been more thorns than roses.

Week #11 Can You Read My Mind?

I don't really think I would want to read someone's mind because who knows what I would discover. If I had to pick somebody I would just pick my sister Kassidy because she's an unique one and I guess sometimes I wonder what the heck she is thinking especially when shes says all the random things she does. I would probably learn that her mind goes all over the place. Also I think trying to follow all her thoughts would be an impossible task. I would definitely be interested in what she thinks about me since I am her big sister. Most of the time she is probably thinking "Taylor shut up, your so annoying and I really don't care". I believe she would be thinking this a lot because she says this to me a lot.

Week #10 Grim Grinning Ghosts Come Out to Socialize

If I suddenly became a ghost, I would probably be a friendly ghost most of the time, but I would probably choose to be scary sometimes. I would travel around and see what family and friends would be doing. If I came upon somebody that I really didn't like, I would have to scare them and hopefully it would be very funny. The thing I would want to do the most would be travel around the world and go sightseeing since I would have a bunch of spare time. I definitely wouldn't be able to be one of those really scary ghost that make it on movies and shows. I wouldn't be able to be one of those ghosts because I would feel really bad that somebody would be scared to death and not be able to sleep.

Week #9 Your Wish is my Command

Three wishes to make, but not for myself? First thing's first, I would grant little miss Madison the wish of Brennen to ask her to be his girlfriend to make things official. I would make this wish for Madison because she really would appreciate it and would love to make things official so she doesn't have to worry about him being a little hoe. The next wish would be for Hofstatter and I would wish for her to become the best little pilot around so she can go fly around and look at the cornfields that she loves. I would wish this for her because she wants to be around planes and possibly fly them and also because she's a happy little farmer who loves the cornfields. The last wish I would make would be for Jessica. I would wish for her to have another year of volleyball here at Lowpoint-Washburn. I would wish this upon her because I don't want to play without my other setter and it will be weird not having her on the court.

Week #8 Home is Where the Heart is

Over the past sixteen years, I have lived in three different houses but they have all been in Washburn so I guess I consider Washburn my "home". The first house I lived in was on Parkside Drive and was a little green house. I do not remember much about this house except for the fact that it was very small. I only lived here until I was three, therefore probably the only big memory from this place would be that my sister was born when I was a year and a half. The second house I lived in probably has the most memories and it was also a green house on Parkside Drive, the only big difference was this house was a lot larger than the other green house I had lived. This house and the house I live in now have the most memories. This big green house is where I spent my childhood. I lived here until I was ten years old. A few of the good memories I have here are Alexa  and I would always hang out here, we had all kinds of animals (so many our house was pretty much full of animals) this is the house I lived in when I started school and my littlest sister Kendall was born when I was eight years old. Another memory I have from here is Kassidy and I started fighting and throwing things and  I threw a perfume bottle at her and knocked two and a half teeth of hers out. When I was in fifth grade, I moved to the house I live in now which is in the country just outside of town. I have a lot of memories here.  I got to pick which room I wanted which I was very happy about, we got to help my dad demolish walls since were remodeling which  was really fun and I have spent all of my teenage year here so far A couple bad memories from here would be Kassidy  put her hand threw a window on accident when she was playing tag and she was bleeding extremely bad and we had to take her to the emergency room to get twenty three stiches in her wrist, my horse lacey and also my pony Spirit died here which was really sad and two of my dogs have died here. The house I live in now would be the house I consider "home"

Week #6 Welcome to Horror High

Well, I do not  really know of any villains so I guess I will just use the big bad wolf as my villain to write about. The big bad wolf was probably a awkward little wolf in high school who got bullied. I imagine him having zero friends and just being all by his lonesome self. He tried to be in a club, but the pigs would not let him join so that is where he got his anger from. This big bad wolf was remembered in the yearbook as just another student getting in school. His quote was "one day I will get revenge".

Week #7 i Found Him...No...Wait

So where is Waldo really? Well Waldo is obviously somewhere within the group of people, but where at in the group of people.  Waldo enjoys being on the beach in Hawaii, but the catch is that Waldo only goes to the beach where it is loaded with people. Even though he enjoys being on the beach, Waldo does enjoy traveling the world and going to new and exciting places. Waldo is pretty much the master of hiding from all kinds of people, but not without the help of other people. Every place he visits he finds a new friend to help keep him hidden.

Week #5 Teachers Were Teenagers Too?!?

Well to start off, Hudson and I probably would not be friends. I mean she is cool now, but in high school she would be the shy one who I do not talk to. She probably would not be into the same things as me such as the sports that I do. I believe Hudson was probably a very committed to school type of student who was extremely scared to get into trouble. As far as personality goes, I could see Hudson acting pretty much the same as she does not, but maybe just a little more shy. Hudson was probably also involved in groups and clubs such as book reading club or something like that.

Week #4 The zombies are marching

A zombie survival plan? I am going to hide and if they find me then I will fight but I will not just immediately be open to fighting. Confrontation is not my thing, especially when it is nearly impossible to win because the opponent doesn't make any sense to me and I would definitely not understand what a zombie would be doing or saying. If I had to kill a zombie it would probably have to be by destroying its brain because thats obviously how most people kill zombies. Most of the people I talk to would be alive with me because why would I want people who make my life difficult to be on my survival team. Eventually the zombies would take over, but at least we will have tried.

Week #3 Your life in ink

If I came upon a book of my life, I would first be very confused and scared and question myself about whether or not I would even open it. Eventually I would open it and start to read. As soon as I would get to a recent event I would stop reading.  I would not read my future because I would feel that if I knew the future I would try to make it happen and end up changing my future. The only chapters of my life that I would reread would be the chapters about my very early years since I do not really remember them.

Week #2 Teenage myths

A myth people have about us teenagers is that we are all rude. Of course some of us are rude but we shouldn't all be thrown into that category. I personally try not to be rude and respect my elders even though some teenagers do not respect their elders. Another myth or assumption about teenagers would be t hat we can't live five minutes without technology. We use technology all the time but if it really came down to it, most of us would be fine without it. Also some of the people who tell us we are attached to technology are just as attached to it as us which basically gives them no room to talk.

Week #1 How's school?

Well first of all, of course I would appreciate a lot more summer vacation! All of my classes are fairly easy right no, but I guess we are only in the first week of school. If I had to pick a class that is the most challenging right now it would be anatomy and physiology. The easiest class is most likely U.S history. The only thing I am really looking forward to is sports (especially volleyball). Right now we just opened the volleyball season and this is the year that we have the most potential! We had our first game last night and most of it went alright, but the third game did not go as well so we ended up losing. I am also most excited for this season because I am playing the best I have played and my hitting is the hardest and most accurate it has ever been. Therefore, so far school is going pretty well.
