My Crazy Week

So this week was really crazy for me. All week I have been dealing with tests and papers. That was Monday and Tuesday. Monday night I had also gone to the Twins game. It was a lof of fun! That was alright for me Wednesday was going pretty good until it started down pouring on my way to work, the week just got crazy from there. I didn't think anything of the rain until I woke up to the wet vacuum going the next morning. There was water in my basement and we were trying to control it so it didn't damage anything. I then went to school to find out that they were pulling kids out of school to sandbag local stores and houses so they didin't get a lot of damage. Incase you didn't know I live in Zumbrota, so the Zumbro River cuts right through town and it always floods. Well I got home from school helped clean everything up in my basement. I had one of my friends stay over because she lives in Pine Island and couldn't get home, everything was shut down.

We were hanging out and then she went to play practice. A minute after she left I got a couple texts from people saying that there was a shooting just down the street from my house and that the guy who shot the person was walking around town. The texts also said to lock your doors and don't leave home. I got freaked because my friend was driving right past where it happened. We didn't know any details about it. They finally caught the guy and everything was fine. None of the people were from Zumbrota we later found out.

After all that got cleared up we decided to go downtown to see how high the water was. I have never seen it so high. It was amazing. The sandbags that the football players did really saved some of the stores. We were trying to keep up to date with what was going on in Pine Island, we saw pictures and were amazed as to how bad it was there.

We woke up the next day to no school, and my friend found out that she could get home. So it was a happy end to a bad two days.

My grandma!

I still have both of my grandmas around, I was too young to remember my grandpas.
There are many things that I think of when I think of my grandmas.

Maternal Grandma

• Old fashion
• Perfumes that is are a little more strong
• Food around christmas time
• No computer

Paternal Grandma

• High Tech
• Flower smells
• Homemade food smells and tastes
• Scrapbook

There are so many things that they remind me of that I never would have thought about, and realize I would miss if they were gone. I love them both very much and love spending time with them.

Favorite Quote

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." ~Brian Littrell

I have several favorite quotes, many are about dance. I have been a dancer since I was three and those are the quotes that normally catch my attention but this one I had seen on a decorative board in a store and I felt like it was meant for me. I have always felt that the dance ones were the ones that were meant for me but this one stood out more then any of them.

This quote means that I should always go for dreams that I don't think I can reach. I know that if I reach these dreams I will feel amazing for it. If I don't reach those dreams I will still reach many dreams that I want but I shouldn't feel bad about it.

My Writing and Education Experiences :)

I don't have much formal writing experiences. I have taken many classes in high school to help me with my writing skills. I have taken one class in high school that it's main focus was writing and how to write a five paragraph essay. In this class we learned about rhetorical strategies and stuff like that. I enjoyed the class and that made me really excited for this class.

I don't have much education experiences other than elementary, middle and high school. My junior year (last year) I took two college classes (AP). One was english and compisition, the other one was Stats. these two classes were the ones that you have to take a test at the end to get college credits. I didn't do very good on these test, so no college credits for me...
