I am so glad spring is here. I can not wait to walk to school in shorts. It is still a little cold in the mourning to do that, but we are almost there. I can not wait for school to be out and have an entire summer to relax and play outside. I was glad that I could go outside today and walk around on the grass without any shoes or a jacket. But when spring comes my allergies start acting up. But, other than that I love it when spring comes. When spring comes I start to be more active.
So today I walk around outside without any shoes. It felt good other than that our grass was so dry it felt like I was walking on needles. I can not wait for school to get out. As I am writing this my brother, who is playing Guitar Hero, is playing the song school’s out. I can not wait to be done with school so I can wake up when I want to wake up and I do not have to worry about doing homework or typing this blog. I can then relax and do what I want to do.
Of course one of the bad things about spring is allergies. The past months have been so bad some days have been so bad that I could hardly move and do any thing like last Wednesday I had a fever and I could barely stand, which is why I could not go to school. The next day I was a little better and I could go to school. I had a runny nose and I almost went through a whole box of tissues. I will be glad when my allergies are not acting up any more when it is summer time.
When it is winter time I get less active because I never go outside to play. Instead I stay inside and play on the computer or play video games. In the summer time I like to go outside and play football or ride my bike. I also go camping in the summer time which is fun. I go camping for over night, a week end, or sometimes days. I always enjoy sitting around the fire. I never really enjoy the sleep in the tent but it is worth it. I also like to go to surf and swim to do a little playing in the waves. I like it when it is a Tuesday night and it is just me and a couple of other people because I can do a lot of things and not bump into other people.
I can not wait for summer because we go on a lot of trips. The first week of summer break I will be in Washington DC. We may also go see our friends in California. The thing I am looking forward to is our traditional family camp out. It is when my grand parents get together with us and my aunts and uncles and cousins and we have a camping trip for a couple of days. It is fun because we play games and talk a lot. I can not wait for summer.

Washington DC
I can not wait to go to Washington DC. There are so many things that I want to see and do. We leave on May 30 and we will be there for about six days. It would be nice to stay longer but hotel rooms are real expensive. And it sometimes takes a few days to look at one site. I am sad that we will not be able to see the museum of natural history because it is closed for renovation. I can not wait for the trip it will be so fun. I am sad that I will miss the last two days of school but it is worth it.
There are so many places on my to see list. I want to visit all of the government buildings and all the monuments and other things there are to see. One place I can not wait to see is the aerospace museum. It is cool because they have the command modules of each program. They also have life size models of things off the space shuttle and other things like the lunar module. I also want to go to the Smithsonian. I would also like to see things like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Then there are all of the monuments and memorials. I can not wait to see the Washington monument. Most people think that it is just a tower but there is a lot of things on the inside and you can take an elevator up to the top and look through the observation windows. Then of course there is the Lincoln memorial that you have to see. Then there are other presidential monuments you have to see like the Jefferson and FDR memorials. Then there is the Holocaust museum that people say is a depressing thing to go and look at.
Washington DC is not what most people think it is. It is a very run down town and there is a lot of crime that goes on there. Most people think that it is a good city because in movies they only show you the good part of town which is where the government buildings and monuments are. When you are there you do not want to go out and walk the streets at night because there are a lot of muggers and it is just a scary place. You are usually safe during the day and then the town is a good place to be, but once it is dark you really want to stay in side. It does not matter to me because it is okay to be out at night if you stay in Virginia.
Washington DC is like New York a little they do have a lot of traffic. They have a Metro train and, I am not sure, but I think it is like the light rails in Salt Lake. This is what we will use and our hotel is only two blocks away from a station. It does go out of Washington DC and into bordering areas, which is why we can stay a little of the way into Virginia because the line we are next to can takes us strait to the monuments and government buildings. It will be a fun trip and I can not wait to go.

Being Sick
Being sick is never a fun thing, but everyone has to go through it at least once in your life. So here I am writing my blog while missing church because I am sick. When your sick it is hard to focus on any work and right now it is hard for me to sit at this computer and type. Of course I have taken some medicine which will help me be able to type this. I am just glad I do not have any math homework this week end. I just want to be able to go to school so I do not have to get caught up.
Being sick is never fun. You can always feel better by taking medicine. I hate taking medicine because I can not swallow a pill so I always take medicine in a liquid form. I have never actually had the will power to take pills. It all started when I was in the first grade and I was forced to take these pills to help me talk. I remember so many nights where my parents fought me to take the pill and to swallow it. I have tried a couple times after that, but I still was not able to swallow it.
The thing I hate most about being sick is if I have to miss school. So people love to be sick and miss school, but I do not like having to ketch up on the work I missed. I have some stories about having to work while I was sick. In 8th grade I had to make my poetry poster while I was sick and it was due the next day. Mrs. Deppe said that she would take none of them after that day even if you were sick on that day. So, I had my mom take it over their and my mom told her about it, and Mrs. Deppe said that she would have accepted it the day after.
I have no math homework but I do have to type an outline for geography because it is due tomorrow and I know Mrs. Van Vleet will not take it late because we are working in partners, and of course I told my partner I would take it home and finish typing it. So I have to do that after this and hopefully that will not take long. If I have to miss school tomorrow then I will have to make up a math test and what ever we do in the rest of my classes.
Of course when you are sick you do not have the ability to do a lot of things. Even eating becomes hard, especially when you are throwing up which I am glad I am not. So for the most part you watch TV or play video games and eat soup and drink gator aid. So far today I have watched about three hours of deadliest catch on the discovery channel. As soon as I finish my home work I will probably eat lunch followed by more TV. Then I will probably go to bed and decide if I will be able to go to school tomorrow.

New things
This week I have new things that I bought. There are also a lot of new things I am going to get. My brother is also planing on getting new things that I will, of course, play with. I started my week with 80 dollars and now I am ending my week with 10 dollars. Of course the 10 dollars is my allowance I got yesterday. It has been a pretty exciting week for me. I also went to the movie theater last night to see a movie. I will tell you more about it a little later on in my blog, but right now I am going to talk about my new stuff.
Well I am sort of a video game lover, but I do do things other than video games. The first thing I bought was another guitar for guitar hero so now me and my brother can play in a co-op band. We can also do things like face offs and battles. I have enjoyed the co-op band because it is a little different than the normal mode. There are four new songs you can unlock and one plays the guitar part while the other plays the bass part. We also have done face off and battles, but my brother became board of them when I was beating him a lot of the time.
I also download some games from older systems to my wii. I bought Super Mario 64 and Pokemon snap, even though I hate pokemon it is a fun photography game. I have played Mario a lot and already have 30 stars. I have even gotten some stars I never could get before. I really like the older games and I enjoy playing them. I have not played Pokemon as much but I have done one course, then my brother want me to play with him. The one bad thing about downloading games is that they take for ever and take even longer if some one is on the computer. It took almost and hour to download one game compared to the 25 minutes it took for the other one. I read some of my book while I was waiting and I read about 40 pages.
Last night I went to see Leather Heads. This is the movie about football with George Clooney and the person who plays Jim in the Office. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. My brother is excited for this next weekend because a guitar store is going to have a sell and he is going to buy an electric guitar. I can not wait because then I can teach my self how to play it and then teach him if he can’t figure it out. He has been going on about it non stop for the past day. He says when he gets it he wants to learn how to play this song and then this song. I am not trying to discourage him but I know he can not just pick up that guitar and be able to play a certain song. It will take him a while to get to the point where he can play a big song by an actual band. I just love getting new stuff that I am sure all of you like to, too.
