Snowboarding Season

snowboarding season is here and i'm really stoked! i use to ski but i switched to snowboarding two years ago, i heard from a lot of people that it's hard to switch and snowboarding is challenging but it was actually quite easy for me. i took a half day class; going up and down on the bunny hill and then i went up on the bigger mountain and had no trouble at all. i go up almost every weekend; i use to go to sol vista but now i go to loveland and i've also been to a few other places such as copper, keystone winter park and eldora & i got a snowboard for christmas last year.

Meditation

Something i really enjoy is meditating. It's really nice to do when you've had a hectic day, it reduces stress and high blood pressure and brings peace to the mind. You get a chance to discover who you are thoroughly & deeply and discover and face your wild untamed mind and your fears. I haven't done this for a long time; I really became interested in meditation last year. I did some research & thought I'd give it a try. It has helped me with skating and school, it gets things off my mind and it makes me feel confident and know i can do anything. I have been to buddhist temples and it was quite amazing.

Quotation Marks

Today i went to panda express and chipotle with Carter, as we were walking out of chipotle to go sit down & eat i realized a huge monarch butterly flying but it was having trouble because of the wind. So, after setting my food down i watched it for a bit and noticed the wind had knocked it into the street and i was afraid it was going to get ran over by a car so i jogged over to get it, as i got up to it i reached down and it flew back up but it was still having trouble flying but this time it ended up landing on a car. I went up to the car and grabbed it and took it over where Carter was sitting and i held it in my hands and said "isn't it beautiful?" Carter smiled and said "yes, it is but it's really windy out here so we should go inside." so i let the butterfly free and we went back to eating our lunch. (:  

Modeling

I started modeling when i was in 2nd grade. The first agency i started with was maximum talents and i have just recently gotten signed with wilhelmina which is really exciting. I have done runway, commercials and photoshoots. Modeling is one of my passions and i hope to continue it even when i'm older.  My favorite thing to do in modeling is runway; i love being in fashion shows and i enjoy watching them as well. I also really like photoshoots, i mostly do commercial print. One of my goals is to  become a victoria secret model and this may sound funny but i have wanted to since i was in 4th grade and yes....i told my 4th grade class that haha.

                                             

                                                                  

 

Creative Passage

i am going to do my Creative Passage on encaustics which is wax fused by heat. i got this idea from my art class Contain Yourself; i thought it looked like something i would enjoy and it seemed interesting which is funny because we only did two days of working with this wax so i'm not sure why this got my attention so fast but i am going to stay after school on some days and have Megan (my art teacher) teach me more about it. i'm super excited to start!

Here are a couple examples of what you can do:

                                

What i'm going to be for Halloween!

this Halloween i am going to be a zombie bride and Carter my boyfriend is going to be a zombie groom(: i am looking forward to this halloween because my school has a skate day and everyone goes roller skating on halloween and you get to wear your costume then i am probably gonna go trick-or-treating with my boyfriend and his friends.

                        

Haunted Houses!!! :D

i ABSOLUTELY love the month of October; i love going to haunted houses, i love dressing up, i love going trick-or-treating and getting candy and i also love fall and all the pretty colors(:
these pictures are a few of the haunted houses i've been to but one of my all time favorite haunted houses is the 13th floor, i have been to it twice and it's so much fun. i don't really get scared; i love the thrill and adrenaline! i am also a BIG fan of scary movies!!! :O

Rediscover the joy of learning

what the first goal at the Open School "rediscover the joy of learning" means to me is finding joy within learning. Not having text books but actually traveling around the world and learning/experiencing the real thing.

Blogging(:

I honestly wasn't sure i'd enjoy this class because i thought it'd be boring, but after writing 7 blogs i have found blogging to be very enjoyable and fun and i want to continue blogging even when this class is over. Something i really like about blogging is having others read what i've wrote and give me feedback, i love seeing what others have to say. I also love reading other peoples blogs.
