CCP Class
This year, I am taking a College and Career Planning class. It teaches you about how to use Word, how to plan for college, write essays, prepare for careers, etc. It is a lot of fun and some things we are learning are very interesting and useful. Although some things are hard, it is still a lot of fun. =)

Just the Way He Smiles =)
I am currently trying to write a song called "Just the Way He Smiles". I will post the lyrics on this post. Please comment and tell me if you think they are good or not.
When we're laughin' on the phone,
Or talkin' all alone,
There's somethin' about him that makes me smile.
And when we're walking down the street,
Or talking while we eat,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me laugh.
And when he walks towards me,
Acting as nice as can be,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me smile.
Chorus
And it's just the way he laughs
Oh, just the way he laughs
It's just the way he laughs that makes me smile.
And it's just the way he smiles
Yes, it's just the way he smiles
It's just the way he smiles that makes me laugh.
When we're walkin' down the beach,
Or when he gets me something I can't reach,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me smile.
And when we're holdin' hands,
Or listenin' to our favorite bands,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me laugh.
And when he's hugging me,
I feel so free,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me smile.
Chorus
And when he hugs me,
I feel so free.
And if I fall, he'll catch me.
When he sees me, he says
"There's my baby,"
I love the way he makes me smile.
When he's acting really nice,
I know it's not a sacrafice,
There's just somethin' about him that makes me smile.
I would really appreciate it if all you guys would post a comment on whether or not you like the lyrics. It would really help me. Thanks everyone!! =)

A Beautiful Quote
This past week, I have been at my great grandma's house in Redding, California. I LOVE her house. She made a lot of the stuff in the house, including pillows, blankets, and wall hangings. She has lots of quotes posted around her house. Here are some of my favorite quotes from around her house:
In her living room, above the computer I am posting this on: "When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left and could say 'I used everything you gave me.'" -Erma Bombeck
In her bathroom: "Guest towels are for guests to use. Non-guests will please dry their hands on their clothes."
My great-grandpa, although he has passed away, had collected 499 hats in his lifetime. He has every hat known to man I swear! =) Well, this has been a fun week. =)

Tornado Day #2
The weather here is getting pretty crazy. More tornado warnings. Extremely heavy rains. Strong winds. It's crazy.
I had another crazy experience in my science class today. So Mr. Evanston had this radio in his classroom that was supposed to warn us for tornadoes. He said that it would go off when there was a tornado close by. Well it went off in class and scared us all half to death. It started beeping really loudly and this red light kept flashing on the top of it. It was kinda scary. We listened to it for a few minutes and it said that the closest tornado at that moment was 50 miles away. Phew! That was close! It never did hit us though. It also said that there were a few water spouts at some beaches. They were all either more North or more South of us. It didn't go off in class anymore today though. I guess that's good. It will probably go off again tomorrow though. All of the tornadoes happen during 5th period though.... Never anytime else. Hmm.... I wonder if it's cursed..... Haha. =) Probably not though.
This is a picture of a water spout tornado. On Mr. Evanston's little radio thing, we heard that there were like 5-7 of these on several different beaches. They weren't that close to us but we were all still pretty scared. My lab partner kept making jokes about people not knowing what water spouts were and that they would run outside to see what that "cool looking thing over there in the middle of the ocean" was. Also how the smart people are inside for shelter but the dummy who decided to take a picture from the dock just so happened to get their finger in the upper right hand corner of the picture. Wow. Some people honestly don't know when they are in danger. They think that the dangerous things are "pretty" or "cool looking". I think that the highlight of my past few days has got to be science class. =) Even though it was scary, it was still pretty funny. =)
This week has been kinda crazy and a little bit freaky. I will post again about my "exciting" day tomorrow. It's supposed to be way worse tomorrow.... Oh great... Can't wait for another "fun filled" day of tornadoes and rain storms.

Goodbye Sunny California, Hello Tornado Alley
This just in. Today's weather forecast is sunny with a chance of tornadoes.
Today was an EXTREMELY crazy day (in weather that is).
So I awake to the sun warming my face and pillow. Then when I arrive at school, it starts to sprinkle a little. No big deal. Rains a little throughout 2, 3, & 4th period. Starts pouring during lunch and SSR (Silent Sustained Reading time. ew). About halfway through SSR it starts haleing for about 30 seconds. Pours some more. Hales again. *sigh* Around the middle of 5th there was a TORNADO!!!! There was a tornado warning in Long Beach, Mission Viejo, and Las Flores. There was a tornado in Mission Viejo. Oh and there was one in the sky of Ladera Ranch (about 3 minutes from my school), but it didn't touch the ground. I know that this is my second time being in an almost tornado situation, but this one was really scary. My 5th period teacher, Mr. Evanston, gave us a word of advice. He said (quote), "If you hear a freight train, dive under your desks, rear ends facing the window, and hold on for dear life." This was overall the scariest day by far.
He also said that the weather is supposed to be even worse on Thursday... That almost guarantees tornados at our school if there was a funnel forming in Ladera Ranch. AHHHH!!!!! =( This is really really bad.
