This past week we've had good weather! It's been a miracle, the principal even had to make an announcement reminding all of the students that there is such a thing as a "dress code" and that we should apply it. It was 70 degrees or thereabouts, and there were little lemonade stands that were put up later along our neighborhood. Next, it rained for a couple of days, and finally today we had the glorious wind break up the clouds. No one is even speaking of w-i-n-t-e-r anymore, especially since the daylight is lasting until 9pm.
Yesterday I gave a presentation in Seminary on David O. McKay and did such a good job that my teacher gave me 3 make-up days. Sadly, it was more like 2 though since I didn't wake up to my alarm today. I guess that's my punishment for watching "Night at the Museum" with the family last night (which I recommend). I also managed to miss the school bus, so I had to take the city bus, and then took the wrong one and had to walk from the Ste Office Building to the High School, and I don't know my way down town very well. I followed the big roads! Haha...not.
We played Volleyball for our Mutual activity which may seem bad due to the fact that I am Rachel's sister, however I was the oldest girl there to day, so my skill level matched the rest of the middle school girls. Yay! One last thing... Happy Birthday Elizabeth! Sweet 16!

Hello to all!
Well, it's good to be in the teacher's favorites. Today was a lot of fun. I turned in a 12 genre project on Friday, and the teacher just finished grading them. I got mine back right after my teacher (Mrs. Moore) showed the class "how well I payed attention to detail", "how thouroughly I did each portion of the project" and how she gave 20 extra credit points. Even though I got 6 points taken off for small errors, I still ended up with 214 out of 200 points! Yay!
Mom and Dad have been gone for a while, and I'm sure they're going to do some fun things with their last child (hint, hint). However, Charlie has been very sporting, in taking me to school/seminary... in his MUSTANG! He hooked up his surround sound speakers, and I swear, I could feel my eardrums vibrating. That's cool end everything, but my favorite is the car's "take-off" speed. He dropped me off at school, and then took off really fast once I got out. I kinda laughed to myself, but was stopped when this old lady asked, "Is that your friend?" I replied that he was my brother and she said, "Well, you better remined him that that could be considered 'reckless driving' and it's a good thing I didn't get his licence plate number." I then kind of sourly looked at her as I said, "I'm sure he's old enough to remember," then closed the door at that.
Someone that was at Girl's Camp, came into town for the "Art Festival" that is hosted by Juneau this year, and ate lunch with our "group" today. She's really nice, but I didn't know her very well. Elizabeth was telling the girl, Indigo, that Wendy is the athletic one, I'm the funny one, and paused at herself. Wendy and I then both said that, Elizabeth is the "boy crazy" one. We all laughed, and then had to go show Indigo all the boys that she thought was cute. Haha, sound like High School? Or maybe Middle School? Anyway, hope this covers what I've been doing lately, and I'll write again sooner than it took me last time.

Spring Break Is Over
Well, it was fun while it lasted! I spent most of the time just by myself at the house. Although I did start a new exercise program with Anja.
One day, I biked her out to the Glacier, and we were going through the trails, but I decided it was about time to be heading back. This was because of the wolf in Juneau. The community has named him, Romeo. In case anyone is wondering, his mate is stuffed and in the Glacier Visitor's Center. Her name was Juliet. Anyway, I thought that it probably wasn't a very good idea to let them "play" together, so we left before it got to be the size
of a silver half dollar at arms' length.
General Conference was definitly a fun way to end the break. After all, I did spend a couple lazy hours in front of the T.V. before then, watching... "What Not To Wear". Ha ha, just kidding.
So, with school starting again, it means a fresh start for the fourth quarter. It'll definitly be easier than the third quarter. Juneau still has a little more than a foot of snow just along the banks of the road and sidewalks. However, today is the third sunny day in a row with no clouds! You know it's Spring when the kids start to play in the middle of the small streets again. Hope everyone is smellin' the flowers!
