How much does my family resemble these families described here? hmmm after skimming through the article "weird family" i came to the conclusion that no my family does not resemble them. that is like way beyond extreme. Though in my house theres really not a lot of time spent together as a family. When i get home from school we all eat together at the dinner table as a family. we usually just talk about our day and what occurred throughout it..but this doesnt last very long because i tend to eat my food fast. as each person finishes we get up..usually im the first then followed by my brother. my parents most of the time are the last ones to leave the table. after that we all go in each others rooms. then since my parents work at night they leave and we dont see them till the next day. most of my time is spent in my room. i guess the only time we actually spend time together is on friday nights. weekends i usually go out during the afternoon and my parents sometimes get called in to work in the mornings on saturdays. so i guess my family doesnt spend as much time together as we should but were certainly not like the families that were described in the article.

The house of Dan Martensen and Shannan seems to revolve around nature with all the green plants and the wide variety of the different trees it contributes to making the home have a calming peaceful atmosphere. in the first half of the couples picture they are all outside which suggest that they enjoy the beauty of nature and appreciate to a full extent. From just looking at the pictures you can see how relaxing and pleasant it would be to actually be there. the pictures allude that their home is a stress free environment. Inside the house is very lit up from the natural light coming in from the windows which enhances the beauty of the structure of the house. Dan and Shannon also seem to have an interest for paintings and art. The have many painting in various rooms of the house along with different decorating accessories.

where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Some of the students just by looking at their picture and their description of what they would like to do you can tell that that would be something they might choose. For example the first girl wants to be a hair and makeup artist. If you were to picture her working for a magazine doing hair and makeup you could totally see that. her appearance pretty much says it all. umm one i find hard to picture is the one girl who wants to be a physical therapist. if i were to ever need to see one i would want them to look nice and gentle but she appears more rocker type with her piercing and the way she is dressed. of course thats just a stereotype. The Asian guy i could see him as a doctor but hes not really setting his standards high. he mentioned in his little speech something about if he did do his work and hes only planning on going two years. at the beginning he mentioned that he wanted to be a pilot but he cant because of his vision so then hes going to be a doctor because thats what his family expects him to be. the red head girl who wants to be an actress has a long road ahead of her. in 10 years i hope to be done with college and be working in a hospital and in good economic conditions.

spring ?

So this past week i finally thought we had kissed winter weather goodbye for the rest of the year. Why am i not surprise to find out that i am wrong. Today its all rainy and it would not be so bad except for that fact that it cold and the temperature is just going to continue going down. I heard some possible flurries for Thursday and Sunday. Really?? Its officially spring and this is what we get. This kind of weather makes me wish that i lived somewhere warm..like California or Florida. But i just hope that this spring break it doesnt rain all week like its been the past few years. although last year wasnt too bad.

1000 awesome things

-Coming back to your own bed after a long trip.
i totally agree with this. I remember when i was
in elementary school and i went on vacation for
like 3 weeks. it felt so good when i got home to
sleep in my own bed again!

-Correctly guessing if the door is push or pull.
hmmm i dont think i find this "awesome" i dont
really try to see if i am right. usually i find
out once i have already tried opening the door
the wrong way and look like a complete idiot in
front of people.

-When a cop finally passes you after driving behind you for a while.
YESS!! that does feel awesome.haha even though
i know i am not speeding or doing anything wrong
i just feel paranoid when there is a cop around.
specialty if i am driving care free (not in a wreckless way)
then out of nowhere..BAM..the cop car appears. then when
it disappears its like..ahh..you can finally breathe.
