Educational websites.

http://www.prongo.com/math/multiplication.html

This is a good game. I chose it because its educational and its fun. I'm good at math so its easy for me. They have different levels of difficulty.

This website it made especially for kids. It helps them with many different subjects. They also have games that the kids can play to learn.

This website is really neat. Its fun but you learn at the same time. This is made for kids from Kindergarten to 8th grade. This is when they learn this most, and making it fun is the easiest way to learn.

New School Year. This is pretty funny.

Prom.

Prom is this weekend! Yay! I'm really nervous and excited at the same time. I think its going to be a lot of fun. I'm just worried that something will go wrong when I'm getting ready. My dress is a little tight so, I'm also afraid its not going to fit, which would be really bad. Its going to be a very busy day for me. My mom is doing my hair thankfully so I can do that whenever I want to and not at 10 in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes sometime.

Ohio.

Its finally time to go see my family in Ohio again. I haven't been down there since August for my grandparent's anniversary party. My mom, brother, my boyfriend, and me are all going to visit. My boyfriend has never met my family before other than my mom and brother so it is about time. We have been together for five months and I've met everyone in his family. The only down side about this trip is I have the fake baby for child development. It's going to be hard to take care of the thing while we are down there. I like to be able to visit and have fun with my family. Everyone I talk to that has had the baby before says its really hard and takes up most of your time. So it maybe stressful. Hopefully I still have fun.

To Kill A Mockingbird Review.

I thought the play was fantabulous. The only thing I didn't like was the immature audience. They laughed at everything that happened even if it wasn't funny. They also put gum on the stage and had a laser out. It made me mad that they couldn't handle themselves. The actors done really great though. I was very surprised by the set, it was nothing like the Macbeth set. The young boy that played Dill was so smart. I could not believe how well he done.

Valentine's Day.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I'm pretty excited about it because its the first year that I have had an actual boyfriend for this day. Last year I had one but we weren't on very good terms then. Oh well. Jordan and I agreed that we wouldn't get each other anything because we are too hard to shop for plus with our monthly payments, we are both broke. So we are just going to spend the day together. We may go prom dress shopping because I found one I like but it costs a lot. Have a nice Valentine's Day with the one you love. I know I will. :)

A Raisin in the Sun.

I think some of the money should be put back for my schooling. I don't want to be like the rest of my family and make nothing of myself. I also think some of it should help with my guitar lessons. Maybe Mama was right about me switching back in forth so much between different things. She just doesn't understand I'm just trying to discover myself.

If the money doesn't go for my schooling I think it should buy us a nicer place to live. It gets tiring living in this small place with five people. Walter wants to buy the liquor store but I don't think that's a good idea because if it doesn't take off then we are out money. I'm not trying to be selfish, just want better for myself.
