Video!! Awesome

This is my book report, and my teacher went NUTS when she was watching it. I made this in two days and I think it is my best video EVER. I was so worried, because all the other kids, in their movies, put "The Title is...", "The Main characters are..", and stuff like that but I didn't and it worked out perfect. The kids said it could be a commercial for the book....I was so happy! What do you all think about it?

Why kids hate school...

well....i still havent got those Hershey Park pics. Or the Washington DC pics. But i will get them on here, eventually. i just have to keep remindin my dad. when i get those though i will post them 4 y'all to see. theres some of me and my bro and sis and theres some of us on the rides then theres a couple of pics of the chocolate factory.

remember how i told u i was sick? well i am just bout over my cold now. but my brother and sister are sick. they are still on the prescription medicine the doctor gave them bout 5 days ago. my brother looked really sick today. they both have a minor case of laryengitis and sore throats. and it is all schools fault.

And some people ask why kids hate school!??

UGH SCHOOL!!

Ok....well since I haven't been on in a while, I will catch you all up. Member how I told you I wasn't feeling well? Well it turned out to be a sinus infection. We went to the doctor yesterday and I got antibiotics for it. I am getting better now, but my brother is getting sick. That is it with my health, now with school.

My ADV. English teacher, Mrs. Constable, gave us this assignment where you have to have a Powerpoint Presentation of atleast 30 slides or a Movie Make presentation over a minute and half long. It has to be on something from the 60s. I chose Apollo 11 and the moon landing. I am having trouble finding a video of JUST the moon landing. No people talking about how it is a hoax or anything. JUST the moon landing. And no, I do not believe it is a hoax. It wasn't faked. That was proved by the Mythbusters. ANYWAYS,....back to my point. I am having trouble finding that. If someone could help me, I would be very happy and very thankful. Oh by the way, I am doing Movie Maker. It is just so much easier.

Hope y'all are enjoying life and having fun...

XOXO,
Steff

hey

Hey peoples. School has been ok, I guess. A little boring in some places, but still ok. Omg...I am in pain. I thought I was in shape. Three words. I was wrong. Mrs. Palotta, my gym teacher, has proven that. We had to do these kind of crunches, you don't go all the way up, but you have to hold it there. It made my abs so sore today, and I have to walk up this GIANT hill from my bus stop. (It is VERY VERY steep) and then walk all the way, down my road. Man, that makes my legs so sore. Plus Mrs. P's ab training, ugh, i am sore all over. Plus, last school year, (7th grade), I got this weird throat thing. If I hadn't gone to the doctor when i had, my dad said it could've become tonsillitis. Or how ever you spell it, you have to get your tonsils removed. Anyways, I think it is back, my throat hurts so so bad whenever I swallow. Then again, it might just be phlegm. (pronounced FLEM) Clogging my throat. Or the beginning of a cold. Who knows. I hope it is just one of those small sore throats you get from not drinking enough water. And it goes away over night. I really do. I don't want to go to the doctor again. I don't really like the doctor. It was never my favorite place to be.

anyways,
XOXO

Ummmm.....

Hey wassup??

I don't really know what to talk about. Except school gossip, I guess. But y'all don't care bout that. I am sooooooooo bored. I have NO IDEA what to do. School's started, I have finished all my homework, studied my Spanish, studied my science, and cleaned my room. I have no idea what else to do. In my house, there is nothing to do so I get bored often. I usually surf the web, but I don't want to today. I have surfed the web a lot lately. Nothin really new. Atleast that I care about. If y'all could give me things you want me to talk about, I will talk. Trust me, I will take nearly anything. I am still drawing, but I get things done so fast, I am still left with extra time. So like I said, I just need ideas.

XOXO
Steff

Guess what!

Okay I am back. Sorry, school started and I have just been wiped. Yeah school. Ugh......At least it is Saturday. Don't have to worry bout the preps for three days. Thank goodness! So here's the scoop.

Remember how I told you I was afraid I wouldn't have a lot of classes with my friends. Well, my fears have come true. I only have a couple classes with friends in them, and those friends are usually busy with their friends so I am still alone. I have already made some new friends though. All my classes are fine, even if I don't have friends in them. I can make friends with SOME of the kids in those classes. (I hope) Anyways, only one class is bothering me. It was one of my favorites last year, but I hate it already one week in to the year. Gym class. That class has me, and almost all the popular kids of the eighth grade. I am not very athletic while every single one of them is on a sports team. So I am sorta singled out. But as my dad said, it is only one week into the school, Gym class lasts 18 weeks, then we will be sitting in Health class for the rest of the year. Hopefully, I will have made some friends by then. Like I said before, I hope.

Well that's a little update, I will try to be on more. As much as I can, but between babysitting, Algebra 1, and Adv. English and Science, I am REALLY busy. So,


XOXO for now,
Steff

YAY!!!

YAY!!!! I am sooooooooooo excited!!! Today is the day we go on our trip to Hershey PA! I have been waiting for this trip ALL summer. This will be the first vacation we have had since I was in first grade. And I am just so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, we are going to my dad's old high school friend's house (2 hours away from Hershey:( )And we are gonna spend the night and hang out with them a little on Saturday. (at least they have a Wii :D) Then we are gonna drive (for 2 hours) up to Hershey. Eat lunch, check into our hotel, then go to The Chocolate Museum, try to go to the Zoo, the Amphitheater, and watch a dolphin show. Then we go back to the hotel eat dinner, and go swimming in the heated pool, (I have never been in a heated pool before, I hope it's fun!) Then we are gonna go to bed. There is two queen sized beds, and a cot, a bathroom, and a kitchenette (whatever that is..). My dad gets a bed, my sister and I share a bed, and my brother gets the cot. Unless he is to big, which then my sister would get the cot and he and I would share. (I hope he isn't.) Then on Sunday, we are gonna go EXPLORE Hersheypark! I am gonna try and go on a roller coaster for the first time (GULP. The roller coasters they have are big....), but first thing in the morning, we are going on the water rides, cuz my dad doesn't want the big lines, but wants the rides. I am hoping my sister isn't scared of everything. When we went to Valley World's of Fun she wouldn't go on any ride whatsoever. And there was a Mini Himalayan Roller Coaster there, but all it was was 20 roller coaster carts attached together, just going round and round in a circle. She was scared of that. So I am afraid she'll be scared of the children's thrill rides here too cause their much bigger than the Mini Himalayan Roller Coaster. But I am having high hopes that she'll be to excited to be scared!

I just can't wait! My dad is gonna take lots of pictures so I post some for you all to see when we get back. (The day before school starts........*dramatic "DUN DUN DUUUN"*)

XOXO

Scary-skinny

I was bored this morning, so I looked up (on Google Images) 'healthy skinny'. What I found was far from healthy-skinny. It was horrible. Most of the pictures were of girls suffering from Anorexia. It made me think about my weight and how I look compared to their weight and how they look. To tell you the truth, I am happy being slightly overweight like I am now and not scary-skinny like them. If I am gonna lose weight, well, I am gonna do it the right way. Eating healthy and exercising. Not starving myself. I suggest to anyone else out there wanting to lose weight, do it the right way. Being a skeleton isn't cool. Here is what I am doing:


8:00 AM - Eat a small breakfast (oatmeal, pop tarts, two pieces of toast, etc.)
10:00 AM - Eat a small snack (Nutri-Grain bar, granola bar, 8 crackers, etc.)
12:00 Noon - Eat lunch (sandwich, 1 piece of pizza, etc.)
3:00 PM - Eat a small snack (bag of pretzels, crackers and cheese, etc.)
5:00 PM - Eat dinner (something with meat AND veggies, but small)
6:30 PM - exercise for 1 hour *until 7:30* (Sit-ups, push-ups, jogging, walking, etc.)
DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH!! :D


I do that everyday. My dad said that I would speed up my metabolism and lose weight, but stay fit at the same time. He said not to think of it as a 'DIET' because people think of diets as cutting back, but this is eating more. My dad also said that 'DIET' is 'DIE' with a 't' on the end to disguise what it really does. Think about this. Being a skeleton isn't pretty. Being lean, fit, healthy, and in shape is. And remember to have fun doing this. Do it with your family or a friend. I once heard that if you laugh at least 15 minutes a day life is just a bit happier. So have fun and be fit, not skinny.

XOXO

Wild Horses Piano Sheet Music

Hey peeps! Wassup?

Well, a couple of days ago I decided to take up my piano again. I am bored with all the little easy songs in the lesson books. I am trying to find piano sheet music to different songs that I know on the internet. They say that the internet has everything but I can't seem to find free piano sheet music to Natasha Bedingfield's Wild Horses. I found it once, but now I can't find it again. I am about to give up hope on finding it. So if you know, can you please give me a link to it? :D

Luvs you guys and gals! BUH BAIZ!!!!

Egwene Background

This is the Egwene Background I have on my computer. I drew her from scratch on MSPaint. Then I saved her and opened her in GIMP where I did the BG (background) in the picture.

Hope you all like it.

Wassup?

Hi peoples! First blog! Hooray! Okay...Let's see.... What should I talk about? Now that I have a blog, I don't know what I should do. Ummm...

I am Steffi Nicole. I am in the 8th grade and I am very short. Around 4'11'. I love to draw and read and sing. Although, I can't say I am 100% good at singing...I am very good at drawing and reading.

I have a weird personality. Well maybe not weird; I don't really know what it is. I am a happy-go-lucky-just-wanna-have-fun-girl around my friends. But when I am around people that are really you know, JUST friends, I don't really know them that well, then I am suddenly as shy as shy can get. That's why I am kinda dreading 8th grade. I am not gonna be in any classes with my friends because I have mostly advanced classes and they don't. The only time I know for sure that I have friends in my class is Band class. I might have friends in my classes, I don't know the schedule yet, but I probably won't.

Drawing. I don't know how many artists out there have a blog; you probably have a Deviant art account, but I love to draw and I don't yet have a Deviant Art account, so this is as close as I am getting. I love to draw so much. For the past week I have been on non-stop drawing mode. I have even made a background for my computer on MSPaint. I am moderately good at drawing in Paint. Better than anyone in my family actually. They use better quality art programs for their art. But all I have is Paint and GIMP. And GIMP irritates the heck out of me.

I usually draw stuff that I read about. Like the Fantasy books I read. The background for my computer is supposed to be Egwene from the Wheel of Time series. I can't wait for the last book in that series to come out next year. I just can't. Anways, I have drawn other characters from those books to but so far Egwene has been the best. I have also drawn Fan art for Legend of Zelda. Mainly Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. But those aren't on my computer.

I guess I have talked enough. Well, BUH BAIZ for now!!
