Missing Flight

The Spring Quarter is almost done...Less than three weeks till the end! Then I leave for Paris at the beginning of June! I am getting more excited everyday but I'm going to miss all my wonderful friends here in Chicago. I'll be missing Panera Wednesdays with Katie. The weather here is crazy! Everyone keeps saying that it's supposed to  rain, but I haven't seen a drop. I just want it to rain and get it over with so that the summer will be here! 

So yesterday, April 5th, it was announced that they found the missing plane from June 2009 on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. It still amazes me that it was just lost with no idea what happened. Hopefully they can get the black boxes to tell us what the last moments were like. I hope that they leave the remains of the passengers where they are, they are in their resting place for two years and shouldn't be disturbed. It reminds me of what happened with Titanic. We left those remains where they were, so why not with the flight. Only time will tell us what will happen with the remains. 

This happening worries me about my flight over to France, but then it gives me more confidence on how they are conducting flights. Mistakes are how we learn and how we adjust. Without them life wouldn't be exciting, even though this flight was tragic we hung on to every word when it was announced.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat!

Rowing is one of the best things that happened to me, even though we are going on the ergs more than what we should be due to the lack of a cox. A cox is the in boat coach and steers the boat. We have had a cox, but she isn't working out every well. The last time we got out on the water we learned how to feather, which is when the oar is out of the water and parallel to it. I'll be looking forward to the fall because we recruited a cox, that knows what is going on, that will be LOVELY! I'm not liking how this one keeps running us into trees and walls. She is getting better day by day but the learning process is slow, if she would show up on time then there wouldn't be such a problem and I really wouldn't be upset and I would understand. 

Being on a team is hard, but no matter what I'll always be on a team, either working, rowing, or just being in a group of friends. Friendship is a team of people getting together to accomplish a goal, like going out to dinner or a vacation to Miami. People can't live without friends, even Sheldon has friends. Being part of a team is inviable but you can make it bearable by surrounding yourself with the right people in all scenarios. I am glad I've surrounded myself with incredible people that keep me motivated.

Since I am going to Paris in about 8 weeks, I decided to get back to my blogging so that everyone that reads this can see what is going on!

Here's a quick recap of what is going on in my life so far:

  • I am now on the advertising team for my school newspaper.
  • I wrote my first front page article for the April Issue.
  • I have a tumblr for my book reviews, but I will also post them here.
  • I have an awesome new camera that takes great pictures. 
  • Rowing has started back up and there is a possible race this spring,
Sorry my life isn't exciting, but this is my life and I am enjoying the crazy.

Week Seven...haha

What I've Been Doing and Reading
I really haven't been up to much lately. I've been reading a lot, non textbook books! Shocking I know. I have had to read for my teacher class and have been making a point to be reading atleast ten pages of something else a day, I just finished A Great and Terrible Beauty and started The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I have also been working a story of my own. I don't know how well this will work out but here's hoping all goes well. I'm at about eight pages, single spaced and eleven font, so a grand total of 3,360 words. I personally think its going well. I have asked some of my favorite authors for advice, even though I haven't followed it to a T, like writing everyday. I've also been watching a lot of dramas to fuel my story, I watched the entire series of Dawson's Creek. I had never seen it and I actually liked it. It was so good, for a series that was made a while ago. I have also been really excited for the new show, Pretty Little Liars. The second episode is on and I can't wait to see what happens. The first episode went through the first book! I don't know how they are going to mess with what happens but I'm excited to see how they do it. It is a creepy show but as like all ABC Family shows the acting is the best part to watch, like a train wreck you can't stop watching. I found out today that the new Transformers movie will be shooting in Chicago! I've been looking up when and where they are shooting. I am going to find them! I want to see Shia in person! I love him in these movies. I can't believe they are replacing Megan Fox! They aren't even going to kill off or have Sam and her break up, just replace the actress. The woman replacing her is a model for Victoria Secret, so it isn't promising!
