Spring Break

Duck Tape Rose

Well, I've been back to school for a few days, now (about two and a half, to be exact).  I haven't really done too much; Molly and I worked more on the speech that we will be presenting to Dr. VanAkin (the president of the college) later this week, I went to class, and I made two Duck Tape roses for two of my friends.  Now that I've filled you in on my boring two days, ...well, you'll just have to read on and see.

Aunt Kim, Grandma Jeanne, mum, and me

MJ (my cousin, Mackenzie), mum, and me

The last I spoke to you, I was in Ohio at a place called Camp Fredrick.  I was supposed to be there for the whole week, but plans changed (but we'll get there in a little bit).  On Monday, I spent about three hours building a ladder with some of the other people who were on the trip with me.  I worked on some homework, watched a TV show, and played Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper (which I JUST found out is actually MINEsweeper and not MINDsweeper) for the remainder of the day.  On Tuesday, I woke up at 7:00 to be at a nursing home at 8:00.  There, we spent two hours sweeping the floors and wiping off tables.  For lunch, we were served sloppy joes (which I couldn't eat because I gave up meet for lent) and cookies (yay, lunch).  Then, later that afternoon, Dad came to pick me up to take me home.

Friday night's dinner :-P

We managed to arrive home JUST in time for me to go in town for the late class of karate.  So, of course, I did; I surprised everyone there (no one thought that I was coming home until Easter).  The next day, I went to visit Grandma Criswell.  Other than that, I stayed home and cleaned.  On Thursday, I went to Visit Grandma Criswell again.  After that, I went golfing with one of my friends (but we only got to hole 7 before it began POURING), and spent two hours reminding myself that I could be a decent golfer if only I could putt ("If only, if only the woodpecker sighed..."  (did you get the reference?  If you didn't, you should go read the book Holes because it's a great book)).  Then, I went home to make cupcakes for karate later that night (We were having one of our baking days (Every now and then, when I'm at karate, my friends and I take turns baking goodies (This time, I was making cupcakes and PJ was making cookies.  YUM!).).). 

the cake I made for mum

I spent much of Friday baking a cake for my mother's surprise party that evening (she finished her radiation treatments that day).  I also took the time to go visit Grandma Jeanne for a bit.  When mum got home, dad, Camden, mum, and I sat down for a very yummy lobster-tail dinner (are you jealous?).  Then, some of the family came over for cake and ice cream, and we finished off the evening by watching a family movie (Jack and Jill)





Saturday, I went shopping in Altoona and then to my cousin's wedding shower.  Then, on Sunday, I came back to school.  And I'm pretty sure that covers everything.  As always, have a great week!
