Naval aviation Museum

Today, my family and I minus my Dad, cuz he is back in France, went to Perdido Key's naval aviation museum, which is actually on the navy base there. It is about a half an hour away from my house. With us was Horace, who is a friend of Josh's. It is a really cool museum, especially for the great factor that it is FREE(if it's free, it's for me, right John?). Anyway, it is a really neat museum. There are a lot of planes hanging form the museum roof, and there is an exhibit in which you can climb in all kinds of cockpits from helicopters and planes. We saw an exhibit on the space program, which I really liked, and we walked thru a imitation village of the wwII era. It was really neat. Then we drove to this playground(I didn;t wanto to go, but hought that it would be fun for the boys). The neat thing about this playground was that it had a mist machine. I got pretty wet. I am really tired now so that it is for tonight.

National Treasure 2 !!!

I cannot believe that they are making a National Treasure 2! I relly enjoyed the first one( I really love History, it is my favorite class ). It is going to be about Abe Lincoln's death.I personally think it is a bit of a gruesome thing to have a movie about, but aparently hollywood thinkd that it will work . I hope that it will be a cool movie cuz if it is not, it will kinda reflect poorly on the first movie, like Lilo and stitch 2. I also found the official poster for high School Musical 2( which I sooo cannot wiat to see!The picsa are form the first movie, and the guy in the tux is onme of the actors at the movie premier.

Which Star Wars Characters I am

ok, so I got really bored, and I took some personality quizzes to see whck star wars people I am. It was kinda fun!
Quiz 1
Openess
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
Your percentile: 88% You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.Yoda -- This wise, philosophical, and thoughtful Jedi master challenges the establishment, encouraging his pupils to unlearn what they have learned and see the world in novel, creative ways.
Organization
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized.
Your percentile: 35% You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly.Admiral Ozzel -- A generally conscientious soldier who is susceptible to occasional lapses & blunders, such as the mistake he made at the beginning of the imperial assault on the rebel base at Hoth.
Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
Your percentile: 53% You are neither particularly social or reserved.Ewoks -- A species with extraverted and introverted tendencies. On one hand they are a shy, timid, and reclusive species.

Quiz 2
You are Padme You try to be a good person,but your boyfriend doesn't.(Like I have one?)At least you look great.

Quiz 3
Yoda
Dynamite in a small package, and long-lasting, like the Energizer bunny. While you are wise and calm, you are able to call on your killer instincts . Some may call you a ‘sleeper’. With such great power comes some arrogance, but you are quick to return to humility and fix your mistakes. You have certainly left your mark on the world, in good ways, and it was kinda sad to see you go. But no need to worry, you have gained immortality even though you can’t wield your toothpick of a lightsabre anymore.

Quiz 4
You scored 50% airiness, 36% squishiness, and 47% edginess!
Han Solo is down-to-earth and improvisational, cool-headed and cynical. Appeals to emotion rarely sway him, but as he matured throughout the saga, he let his less-well-developed compassionate side show occasionally.
Personality quizzes are kinda stupid, but if you can't think of anything else to do, by all means go ahead and do 'em!
Solo is, in a word, cool.
I don't think these quizzes were too accurate, because I didn't get the same results on all of them. Still, I wouldn't mind being any of these, especially Padme or Yoda. He is cool. I think that I could really connect with Yoda. We are both short! I everyone knows that I just think that Han Solo is just the greatest smuggler that Star Wars ever had!!!!!

I am going to camp!!!!!!!!

I am so excited because on July 9th I will be going to speach and drama camp for 2 weeks. It is gonna be sooo cool! I can hardly wait.

The article says that Speach/drama camp focuses on the basics of performance techniques, and the proper use of public speaking. Each day begins with vocal production exercises and continues with study in performance areas from poetry to readers theater and in technical aspects from costume design to sound. Students will be exposed to production practices and the backstage processes involved in a production.
Participants are encouraged to bring one or two memorized readings for workshops with the instructional staff. Auditions for the play and readers theaters will be held on the camp’s opening day.
Something ExtraDuring the course of the two-week camp, the students will prepare a short religious play which will be performed on July 20, along with several readers theaters, staged in the College’s Experimental Theater. Parents are invited to dinner and the Catch the Spirit presentation prior to the evening performances.
Instructional StaffSpeech/Drama Camp will feature experienced PCC speech faculty. Each faculty member holds a degree in speech or theater and teaches in the Speech Department of PCC. You’ll gain practical, hands-on experience from these faculty in areas such as oral interpretation, acting, costuming and make-up, storytelling, and scenic design.

Where I go to church

Pastor Jackson
Pastor Jackson, Mrs. Jackson, David, Regan , and I can't remeber the other litlle girl's name.

The crowne center
different angle of the crowne center
The entrance gate

Usually, church is held in the crowne center, where all of these pictures are taken. It is a huge room. There are soo many people that we have to watch Pastor Jackson on a huge screen or else the pople in the back and on the balcony will not be able to see him. The crowne center itself is enormous. WHen you walk in for ther first time it just amazes you. You look up three stories at all the stained glass(which is incidentally, how people know if you are visiting for the first time).AMyway, it si a really cool place to go to church, and I like it a lot, except for the dorky choir robes that we have to wear in the choir, and that you cannot sit with your legs crossed if you are in the choir , Which is really hard if you are short because me feet don't quite touch the floor and my Bible keeps sliding off my lap and it is really hard to take notes. Other than that, it is a really cool place to go to church. Pastor Jackson is a really great preacher. He puts things in a way that everyone can understand. His vision for the campus church is really , well , big. Last night he had the whole church kneeling at the altars to pray for the Campus Church and our country. It was really amazing. I never have been in a church where something like that has been done, but it should be done more often!!!!

Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day, when we take time to remember all the brave men and women who have given their lives to protect America and keep us all free. Most people think of the soldiers that fought in Korea or in the Gulf war, or the soldiers in Iraq today. But we tend to forget that without the soldiers all the way from the revolutionary war these brave warriors of today would never have had their chance to keep America free! What if the minute men had not gone to Lexington or Concord? Or what if Abraham Lincoln had just decided to let the south break away from the Union? Or what if Washington had surrendered to Cornwall because Valley Forge was just too hard? I am not saying that what the soldiers of our generation and our parents generation have done is not worth honoring, but that we cannot forget the soldiers from America's past either. And what if the Americans had not decided to fight the Kaiser? They were not fighting a war for America, they were fighting for freedom for another country. What of Marines who fall in other countries, sent by the UN to help that particular country? Are they less deserving of our thoughts today? I have a hard time thinking that memorial day is just for the American soldiers who fought for America.Memorial day is a day to honor American soldiers . All of her soldiers.

The Beach

The entrance to my fav beach
Beautiful Beach!!!!
Sea Oats, which are a part of the save the dune movement here
Sugar White Sands, and emerald green waters
An aerial view of the Beach

Since I live in Florida, I thought that it would be suitable to write an article on the "sugar white beaches" and "emerald green waters" as all the commercials for the area like to quote. I went on a google search and found lots of pictures on my favorite beach, which is apparently lots of people's favorite beach. My mom bought a pass so we like to go to the Johnson Beach which is a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. It is an awesome beach, but there are lots of animals that you can find there, such a s beach mice, crabs, and little annoying flies that bite. Bit all in all, the beaches heree in Pensacola are really really cool!

How I was very very BRAVE

Last night, at like 1 in the morning, I heard something rattling around in the kitchen. immediately I thought"There is a prowler in the house!". My heart began to pound as I lay as still as I could in my bed. Then I began to wonder if he had a GUN ! I really didn't want this prowler to prowl around our house with a gun or hurt anyone in my family. I grabbed a small,thin stick out of my closet(it is a complicated story why I have a stick in my closet, so don't ask) and I checked the house just like Starsky and Hutch in their old tv series, flat against the wall, checking silently before doing anything wit my stick. In all honesty, the stick would not have done anything to a criminal, but if there was a robber, I didn;t want to look stupid coming out there with nothing. It turns out that there was no one n our house, that some dishes on the dish drainer moved. But if it had been a prowler, I would have been prepared.
