Christmas vacation...

Well, I have to write a post about what I did over my Christmas vacation. This was actually a great Christmas, in fact. On Christmas Eve, I did a scripture reading during my church service. Later,we had the party at my Aunt Joann's house. Imagine this: 20 adults and 20 little kids packed into a house with maybe 200 sq. feet of available space, and you have our annual Christmas party. Christmas morning was even better. Some of the presents that I got from "Santa" were a workout bar, new clothes that fit me awesome, and a stocking full of goodies. My Aunt Joellen and Aunt Joann knew exactly what to get me. Aunt Joellen got me a box full of food, and my Aunt Joann gave me a half gallon of eggnogg, (My absolute favorite drink,) although she says she forgot to get my present and she will take me shopping in a couple weeks. I was happy with just the eggnog, though. New Years was fun, because I had a friend over to celebrate it with. The last three days were pretty uneventful...

Everest: the collage


I chose Everest to be the topic topic of my collage. This is a story of how a blind man climbed Mt. Everest. This is a story of determination and belief in oneself, so that is pretty much the topic of my collage. The lion in particular is my favorite picture, because it pretty much sums up the point of this story. Bravery, Determination, and the will to do the impossibe was brimming out of Eric Weihenmayer's very flesh when he climbed Everest, and many other mountains besides.

Digger wasp!

Well, I have to write a post about what animal I would rather study, a Tarantula or a Digger Wasp. In truth, I would have to say the Digger Wasp, because I've never heard of it before. From the article I had to read about it, I now know that Digger Wasps live solitary lives instead of in colony's. This, above all, surprised me, because I have never heard of a kind of wasp (or bee) that lives on its own before. The article also says that the wasps dig two foot tunnels in the ground, each about the width of a quarter. I have but one thing to say about this: I hope I never come near one of those horrid things.....

The most challenging...

I have to write a post about the most challenging thing I've ever done. That's a really good question, since I don't do a lot of challenging stuff. I would have to say that woking out for the past few months has been the most challenging thing I've ever done, because I have been pushing myself to my limit Bench Pressing....

Inspiration

One of the things that has very much influenced my choice of my future career is the television. I watch a lot of shows like Cops and World's Wildest Police Video's, and they have inspired me to become a police officer. I realize that most cops don't get to experience all the stuff they have on those shows, but it is still a very productive career. I actually went to a career expo in Green Bay today, and I got the chance to talk to a state trooper. He explained to me all the qualifications to be a police officer, like having 60 college credits (about two years,) and the training and stuff. What he had to say only increased my desire to be a policeman, so I'm really happy I got to go to that career expo!

...

Well, I have to write a post about my digital footprint. I guess that means where and what can be found about me on the web. I searched google, and the only thing I found was my profile on icanhazcheezburger, which is a pretty funny site. Most of the other stuff is confidential, like facebook and stuff. I don't use a lot of those kinds of sites, since I don't talk to a lot of people. In this case, I have a pretty positive digital footprint, besides most of my webpages looking a bit emo. I don't even know why I do that. Of all the colors of the world, I think that black describes me the least...
