Bunny Help

I've been saving up for a bunny lately for my moms new house, but I've heard you need a whole bunch of air freshiner, especially if it will be in your bedroom. Any tips? ;)

My Winter Vacation

Since I am 75% finnish, I don't know if I ever mentioned that before, you would think that I love the outdoors and the cold doesn't bother me. Well.. yes! You're right. I love being outdoors, especially in the winter time, because you can go cross country skiing and shovel snow, and walk in the snow. Oh! And in the summer, because you can go out and take a dip, go sailing, chill on the beach. Oh! And in the fall, because raking the pretty leaves and going out for pumpkin hunting, and playing football. Oh! Alright, nevermind. Theres always something fun to do outside no matter what season it is. Except for rain- rain sucks.

This February break, I spent as much time as possible chilling outside, with my new cozy stretchy fleecey earwarmer and gloves. Unfortunately, I also had some homework to do. At least it was reading, compared to some math or something. Essays and writing prompts- no problem, I love them. Anyway, in order for me to finish the book by Monday when school gets back into the picture, I had to read 20 pages a day.

Just recently, one of my friends had a birthday party that involved ice skating at a public ice skating rink. As a puney little tiny kid, I remember I never enjoyed skating, and never really felt comfortable doing it. After the party though, since I hadn't done it in a long time, I felt pretty great. So I decided to look online for the public skating hours so sometime my mom and I could go together for some skating while listening to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album.

I think my favorite part of the week was going cross country skiing with my mom. We borrowed some skiis and boots from some good friends of mine, and we went out to ski. My mom got really confuzzled on where to park and get your passes and everything, and here I am just sitting in the back, burried in my own way-too-fluffy-and-puffy snow pants, minding my own business.

My mum told me that the ABRHS has a girls cross country team, and maybe I could be in it when I get up there. It counts for your college degree and all that college stuff, which is great! I couldn't wait and just wished at that moment I could just fast forward my life a few years so I could finally do it. Oh, but when I gave a second thought at that, I decided I shouldn't do that, because someday someone's gonna ask me, "So how was your year in 7th grade?" I'd be like, "Um.. well.. I was in 7th grade? Really? Uh-- I mean, uh.. yeah! It was uh... great!" They'd be looking at me like I'm some freak.

I finished my school book on Saturday night, very satisfying indeed, and even when my teacher hasn't assigned a due date yet!! :) I'm way ahead of the game.

I hope you all had fun in the snow.. now I just can't wait for April break. Possible Florida trip!!!
