My Good Day SOL

I had a really good day today! First off my mom made a new salad recipe I found in a magazine. I’ve never been a huge fan of salads but something about theme combining action in this one made me really enjoy it. I also got most of my homework done at lunch so I didn’t have much of it to do once I got home. When I did get home from school I took a nice run and went to the library with my youngest sister Hattie. She found some of her friends from kindergarten there and while she played with them I began a new series I’ve been wanting to try called The Magic Theif, and so far I like it. Then the rest of the evening up until now has been peaceful. I’m hoping this can keep up especially with the three day weekend we have this week.

My Okay Weekend

I felt awful this weekend about not being able to blog! I was at my dad’s and unfortunately the internet wasn’t cooperating. Ever single time I thought about it a feeling of guilt washed over me and a pit formed in my stomach. Luckily now I’m back at my mom’s and next weekend it should work while I’m there. Other than that my weekend was pretty good, the nice weather allowed me to get outside, even if it was a little chilly. And tomorrows another school day, so i’ll get to see what grade i got on my math quiz I had Friday. Hopefully I won’t miss any more days of blogging.😁

Zootopia Review (No Spoilers)

So, today I went to see the newest Disney movie Zootopia and I think that it is great, and I don’t seem to be the only one who thinks so. It has a 99 percent positive rating on the movie critic website Rotten Tomatoes. That almost never happens! So, what’s the plot that audiences and critics love so much? In a universe dominated by anthropomorphic animals predator and prey have evolved to live in peace together, however some of the animals that were formerly prey are still downgraded. Our main character is a rabbit named Judy Hoops played by Ginnifer Goodwin. Judy dreams of becoming a police officer and to work in the heart of her world in a city called Zootopia. Despite many doubting her she works hard and land a place on the force. Once arriving in Zootopia she finds out that it’s not quite what she had hoped, people (or should I say animals) still are prejudice towards her and the chief police officer doesn’t trust her with solving any real cases. Things soon change though, when a disappearance of 14 mammals comes up. Judy is given 48 hours to solve the crime, the catch: failing to do so will mean she is kicked off the force. Teaming up with a fox named Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) the race is on to see if Judy has what it takes to crack case. I promised not to spoil anything so I won’t but I should point out that the message in this movie is beautifully handled. If you hadn’t already guessed its about not being prejudice to those different from you and is told in way very relevant to some real life things taking place today. The animation is also stunning and as usual with Disney movies the humor is hilarious. Other than that the only real complaint I have is that the moral, while it is a good one, is hammered in a bit too much. This wasn’t a huge bother though and didn’t damper my enjoyment of the film. Zootopia, in my opinion, is a wonderful film and I suggest you check it out.

Average Day

Today was kind of uneventful again. I got all my homework done in class so I had lots of free time once I got home. I went for a quick run and then went out again to collect cans on the side of the road to return to the store (they are worth $0.10 each after all.) Other than that nothing much but tomorrow should be interesting, since we had to cancel our plans on Sunday tomorrow my mom is taking my sister’s and I to see Zootopia. Ill have a more interesting post tomorrow.

Depressing Day

Rain has brought a depressing day to my house today. With my youngest sister sick we had to cancel our plans to go to the movies. On top of that I got an awful nights sleep and the whole day seemed dark and boring, dragging on and on. I barley did a thing and don’t have much to write. I’m trying to stay hopeful that tomorrow will be a better day despite it being Monday.

The Dowling Dance

Last night my school had our yearly late night dance, the Dowling dance. It lasted from 7 to 9:30. I got there and after buying my ticket walked into the gym. Everything was complete chaos. People we’re dancing, running around trying to find their group of friends and standing in the line in the cafeteria to buy snacks. After a while I found my friends, who all looked great by the way. After a few minutes of talking the lights went out in the gym and we found an area to hang out at for the night. Despite their efforts my friends couldn’t get me to dance and I instead watched them. I accidentally lost them and not knowing what to do I just sort of walked around the gym watching as others laughed and danced. Eventually I did find them and we took some pictures on their ipods. Soon it was time to leave and I said goodbye walking out the door to meet my mom. All in all it was a fun night and I’m glad to have been there.

Why I’m Feeling Guilty

Right now I feel guilty. That is because I have no idea what to write about, so I’m writing about feeling guilty about not having something to write about which makes me even more guilty because I feel like its cheating. So here I sit typing about how I feel guilty about writing how guilty I feel, and now I feel even more guilty than I did to begin with because reading this probably hurt your brain.

My Mind While Running

My favorite sport is running, and since your mostly on your own while running you have lots of time to think. When I run my mind wanders to all different places, so this is basically a representation of what I think about while running.

“Okay, this should be fun. Its a nice day, I feel good and I’m taking a nice run.” Ten minutes later. “WHY DO I RUN???!!! There are much easier sports I could do but nope, I chose running which is tiring and boring because I don’t even have music to listen to.” Three minutes of ranting in my head later. “Okay, calm down. Running is a very good exercise and helps you clear your mind. Besides unlike with other sports you can run whenever you want and chose your own limits. Your only going 5 miles anyway, and that’s only 2.5 miles each way, and 2.5 is basically 2 so it pretty much feels like 4 miles. Don’t even think about how far your going anyway, get your mind off of it and think about… school. You had a pretty good day today and you barley have any homework, just some math proble- oh wait, I left it at school, dang it! Oh well, I can just do them at lunch tomorrow. Thank goodness math is 6th hour. Why do we even have homework? We go to school all day doing non-stop work and when were home we should be able to relax but instead that time gets filled up with even more work.” Mile 4. “Just one more mile to go and you’ll be done and then you can have that cake mom made today.” Mile 4.5. “Almost there don’t quit. Pick up your pace and think of that one scene in Forest Gump where Running on Empty is playing. Here comes a hill, don’t slow down. Good job you made it and the house is just up ahead. Now go as fast as you can. Sprint! Sprint! Sprint! Sprint! Sprint!” Finished! “You know, I’m glad I did that. I feel good and I got exercise. Who knows, maybe I should start going 10 miles, I mean 10 is only twice 5 and I can run 5 miles so I bet I could do it.”
