blogging

Blogging has been an interesting experience. It was something that I had never done before because I was never sure how it would work out. However, I'm not sure that I really enjoyed this experience. I enjoy writing but maybe it was being told what to write about and having a time limit that really put a damper on things. What I did enjoy was reading what other classmates had to say. Also how they have handled tough moments throughout their lives. Without the blogs I'm not sure that we would have gotten to know our classmates this well. I might continue to blog in the future but maybe with more photos and a little less writing in my posts.

Great Times!

There have been many times where I have had a great time. Some include being with friends others include being with family. However, one of the most memorable, great times that I have had has been recently. On Thanksgiving day my family spent it a little differently. We had to have dinner ready a few hours earlier than usual and there were no kids playing out in the front yard. It wasn't the same because all of the "kids" had to go to work for the Black Friday sales. This year it was a reality check that we have finally grown up. We were no longer kids that had to wait around for dinner. No, we had become young adults that had to make some part of the meal. Furthermore, once dinner was over all of the teens went into my room and watched a movie, like we always did. However, this time around some had to leave to go to work before the movie was even over. Once most of them had left my cousin, younger sister and I began to talk about the "good ol' days." There was so much that we had forgotten about because of all the bad that had come our way throughout the years. We were basically just catching up without ever actually being apart. Even though there was nothing really exciting about it I had a great time. This was mostly because growing up is a very scary feeling but now I know that I will always have people around me that will help me stay grounded.
