Water; H20

I hadn't noticed how much water means is to everyone. Of course I know that I practically swim in it every day, but that its essentional for every day life. I never really thought that it could be that important to everyone. Earth is 71% water. 97% of that water is salt water. Living in Utah it makes it harder for us to have fresh water. When only 3% of the water on is fresh. 10% is flowing water too! In Brinkhoff's science class I learned many triva facts such as:

1. Utah is the second driest state
2. 1/3 of Utah is desert....I wonder how it snows?!?
3. Water is the ONLY substance vitial to all living things.
4. People can survive without food for serval months, but without water less than a week.
5. People spend more than $600 million on skiing and playing on Utah's snow!
6. Ten inches of snow equals an average of one (1) inch of water.

After learning these vaublable facts it really made me think of all the uses humans use water for:

1. fills a pool
2. waters gardens
3. recyles
4. gives life to everything
5. damage/death
6. creates landforms
7. transports
8. cleans many things including us
9. we drink it
10. everyone one at least has some part of water in their body.

With that I hope you all will value water as much as I do now.

These past few weeks...

For the first month of the year I have to say it has been the busy-iest yet. So second term ended at last. With all the extra. credit, term projects, and other things going on I'm so glad thats over with. So on Friday the day second term ended I was way stressed out. Since I had a swim meet that day too! How I managed to still do good in school and mange everything else. I don't know! Well back to the swim meet, well the swim meet was a Viewmount high school. I did really bad but thats okay because later I hung out with some of my high school friends at the mall and saw 27 dresses. And at the mall I saw the swim meets results so I figured out I done better than usaul even if I hadn't dropped any time in any of my events. I was way fun!

So that was Friday, on Saturday it was my dad's birthday and the night of the regional dance. For my dad's birthday we went out to eat to a chinise restuarnt and I had TONS of sushie!! and a whole bunch of ginger. Which is a pink thing that looks like rose pettles. I was way good any ways. So later that night I went to the regional dance and saw alot of my friends. The only friend I couldn't find Tuba Dude. Earlier that week he had asked me to be there early so we could do the dance contest, but he wasn't there. After I talked to all my friends and watched the people learning how to dance the cha-cha. It was pretty funny to watch I have to say. Eventualy Tuba Dude got there and we all had fun at the dance. Towards the end Tuba Dude convinced me that we would do the dance off next month. So next month everyone has to go to the regional dance and point and laugh at both of us. And also before I forget does anyone know hwo to dance to "Apologize" that would be very helpful to us.

The Begining of the Year

I can't believe another year has gone by. It seems just like yesterday that I was worried of turning 14 because then I would have more responiblities. I can still picture the first day of ninth grade. My locker not opening after several times. Till I finally freaked out and went to the office to find out that my locker combination had been changed.
It may only be the second week of the year and it seems to me that this year I'm already busy-er than ever before. I've already come to a routine. I wake up go to school, go swimming for two hours, go home eat dinner, do my homework, and get all my things ready for the next day of school. And on Wensdays' add Young Womens.
So this year I made a resolution that I would take every chance to get to know my family and friends more. Balancing school and sports. So far it's been pretty good. I can only hope now that I will enjoy this year more than last and the more to come. So HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

School

School is stressing me out!!!!!!!!! So many things and test due!!! Extra Credit to earn!! By January 18th all ninth graders will already be 2/8 of the way done with high school!!

A Letter To One of My Favortie Authors

Stephenie Meyer
Author of the Twilight Series
Pheonix, Arizona



Dear Mrs. Meyer:
I just finished reading your book Twilight. While reading, I felt connected to your book. Something that happens only occasionally when the writer has a purpose and understands what every reader whats. A good book to never let go of. While reading, I could feel all the emotions Bella was going through. Feel self-conscious about the first day of school. How would everyone else react, if she would fit in or not. It made me feel comforted, that I wasn't the only one having worries like that.

The book caputured my attention from the very few chapters. Asking myself, why was she so interested in this special boy. That most didn't like. I didn't realize why I was so excited about this book till halfway through. The details of the characters were so detailed and had a deeper meaning than most books do.

Your characters in the book made a painting so realistic that I could imagen in my room happening all around me. I really enjoyed that your book showed me that there is beauty in everything. That it just matters on the way you look at things. The way theres gloomy rainy days. Which only means a day to run around to get wet. Splash in puddles. Another thing that suprised me about your book was that one of the main characters was a vampire being loving towards a teenage girl. Like most girls, it would never come across my mind that falling in love with a vampire or even dating one would be so adventurous and daring.

This book was so meaningful towards me since it made me feel truly unqie and special. That being the way I am and being a "good girl," will maybe payoff in the long run.That maybe someone else out there really is out there, waiting for someone with the same standards and desires. That I'm not the only girl that sometimes feels left out. Being the most popular doesn't matter, but whats really is inside.

And so I finish in saying that your book truly inspired me to reach my full potential. And in doing so I will be able to accomplish anything that I set my mind to. Being able to fulfill my future dreams, knowing that I am loved by my family and friends. Believing that anything is possible if I set my mind to it. That it truly matters of whats inside and not the outside, or whatever everyone else thinks, but what you can do.

Very truly yours,

Swim Chick
