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,

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!!
