the library

This past Monday, instead of having regular class, we had to go to the library. it was kind of boring haha. We went on a scavenger hunt to know everything about the library, which we all already knew! We had to look up books on the computer, get magazines, take a picture of the whole group,print things out, and we did other different things around the library. It was useful if you didn't know anything about the library, but I already knew everything.Then we had to present it, everybody was talking and making jokes cause we were bored!!!! I would of rather listened to Sweeney talk then do that! The librarian probably thought we were being rude but oh well... even Sweeney was laughing! I think next time we should take a field trip to the grill so we can eat! I'm always hungry in that class! I'm so glad Morgan came and sat by me cause she made me laugh the whole time and made it more fun! but I do appreciate the librarian taking time out of her day to come talk to us and tell us everything about the library. Everyone have a good weekend! :)

Thanks Bland

Well I've never wrote a blog so this is kind of new to me. So lets see how this goes. This week has been crazy and hectic. Tuesday the weather called for snow, which I actually doubted. Virginia weather is so bi-polar you never know what's the weather going to be! I woke up Wednesday morning, looked out the window and everything was white! but school still WASNT closed! It was opening up at 10! It was so ridiculous, the roads are going to be horrible and icy! I told my mom I was absoutely not going even if i did still have class, I wasn't going to risk my life or my car. Thursday morning was a different story. The roads were still bad but I didn't really have a choice so I still had to go to school. By the way, Im VERY unexperienced driving in the snow! well I was on the way to school, everything going good, until I got to flank road.... I was going around the turn, going really slow, and all of a sudden, the ice took over my car and I started sliding! and then in the ditch I go, I had no idea what to do, I just started freaking out! The day could not get any worse. so I'm sitting in the ditch calling everyone, and then this really nice old man came over to me and asked if I was okay and everything and asked if I had called anybody. I was still freaking out at this point so I didn't have a lot to say, he started thinking, and then he said "what if we try to go backwards and get on that driveway?" I didn't want to risk getting more stuck so I wasn't too sure about this idea. I told him he could go right ahead if he wanted to try it. Well thank god I told him he could do it, he got in and did exactly what he said he would do and it worked out perfectly! I was SOOO HAPPY!!! there are no words to explain how happy I was, I was scared my car was going to be damaged and I would have to pay $200 to get it towed! I can't even count how many times I hugged him! there's people like him in this world that I am so thankful for, considering he was the only one that came to make sure I was okay! and I still was able to make it to my 9:30 class! 


Everybody be careful driving on the roads! :)
