My favorite Christmas traditions are the Christmas tree, jello letters, and tag. Now, I know only one of those make you think of Christmas whenever you look at them but I think of it because they are things that we do every year around Christmas time.
I, with the help of Liz, Matt and Jake, get the tree and all of the trimming out of the attic and set up the six foot tall tree with over a thousand lights and a hundred ornaments. If is a long process and often hot because of all of the lights and people and fickle November weather, but so much fun to have with the family.
Ever Christmas my Aunt Becky makes letter shaped Jell-o thingy-s and I always eat the grape ones.
Tag. We alwas play tag outsde of my uncle's house in the cold and it is really fun.

Blog assignment #55
My Thanksgiving break was great!!!! On the first Sunday and Monday, I went to a conference in Alexandria called YEC, Youth Evangelical Celebration. There were over 7100 people in attendance with a concert by MercyMe. I had a great time even though the bus ride was freezing. Oh my, I forgot somehting really important to my week. Saturday night I went to the edge of the Amite river and and camped in the sand with my Kru before getting up earlier and going to church. All of my camping gear was wet and sandy and gross but UI had to leave them with Daddy and go to YEC. So, because I left him with all of teh work, i came home and he took care of a bunch, but I finished it while he was at work. Back to the camping trip though. We camped on the beach and sang to the music on our phones. One of the people there kept making fun of me because he didn't think I listened to to country, it was quite funny because I knew all of the songs and he didn't.
On to something new, now. On Tuesday I slept until noon to make up for lost sleep while camping in the freezing cold and then hotel sleep is never good either. I was supposed to go play paintball, but a decided I was not going to be able to play it and have the first time playing fun that i should've had, so i just stayed home and slept. Heaven on earth:) Later that day, I watched The Italian Job starring Mark Walberg-great movie.
On Wednesday, I stayed home until late that day and then my family went out to eat. We had an interesting experience. We were trying to go to meet my daddy on his way home for work at a restruant in manchac but I will get there in a minute. We started off by going to one cemetery and placing flowers on my mawmaw's grave. We then tried to go the Catfish Charlie's to get a gift card for one of my uncles for Christmas but they were closed for Thanksgiving. So, we left there and went to another cemetery to put more flowers on my great-grandparents' and my great-great-grandparents' graves. We did that and left the cemetery and went to Midendorf's, another seafood place:) but it was closed too :( We then went to Hammond and ate at the Mexican place that starts with an 'A'. Daddy meet us there and We ate and daddy let me drive!!!!!! I drove to Walmart and got some stuff then I took the interstate for the first time and went home. That was the longest I have ever driven and I got to do some city driving in Hammond, parking lot in Wal-mart, interstate on 12 and then more country driving to get home.
Thanksgiving was at my pawpaw's wife's house and we had so great food :) burp
On friday, I did not do anything :) Oh, on Sunday-Tuesday i read a book series called the Hunger Games, cool, junior high, but still interesting.
On Saturday, Mom, Daddy, Lizzy and I went to see the Nutcracker in NOLA and that was a lot of fun because before we went, we had lunch at Midendorf's for real !!!!! :)
On Sunday, I went to church and then, Lizzy and I went to see the new Harry Potter movie in Hammond and went to Target and Books a Million to go Christmas shopping and I got home a wrapped them and they are under the tree:) Oh!!! that is what I did on Friday!!! I set the tree up and got it out of the attic and all of our other billions of decorations!! :) yay!!!!!

LSU. If you have ever worked an LSU football concession stand, you know how hard, long, tiring and so awful awesome these times are. LSU games bring unity to the people who work it and show the truecharacter of hose who work it.
At the Alabama game, I worked with Jeremi and Kiana. These two peopemde my job has cashier so muc easier becaus they were the most efficcent people and they never complained. If the people you work with do their job better than they have to and do it with a good attitude, the game goes so much faster and smoother than if youare working with people who are complaining or not doing thir jobs correctly.
I have a bad habit of complaining to my dad when my feet hurt ecause he will gve me advice about how to help them but other people don't appriciate that and I think Iwas reall annoying Jeremi. Sorry.
But then, on a whole other subject, i am going to applebee's tonight to talk to, greet and assist veterans. Applebee's is allowing veterans and active duty service men to eat free ths day in thanks to them and they have asked the scouts to help.
you know I am in venturing and they askedour kru to help and we,ving people that we are, argreed readily t help.
Now, i go off to prepare for my long night at Applebee's followed by a long day at LSU. Also, i had a calculus test yeasterday and an English paper due on thursday. Did i meantion had to write this thingy on a feature stor although I knew itwould never be used ofr anything.....

Dirty Money
Money is one of the most transferred thing on the planet and because of that, one of the dirtiest. Many sicknesses are transmitted through the handling of money. For example, Carolyn is sick with the flu and she gives Kathy money to buy her mother a present for her birthday. Kathy goes to Wal-mart and buys the present and gives the money that sick Carolyn touched to the cashier. Jesse goes in because he is not sick and buys a DVD and the cashier gives him the same money that Kathy gave her. Jesse gets sick because of Carolyn's germs in a roundabout way. That is only one of the ways that money can get dirty. People sneezing on them; people using money to do drugs; people putting their money in their shoes or clothes when they don't have any pockets. These are only a few of the many ways that money picks up germs and dirt. Coins can be washed and disinfected but paper money cannot be cleaned. One-dollar bills only last three months when they are in circulation but high-denomination bills, such as fifties and twenties, are replaced far less often and both have great risks of carry sickness. When you handle money, be sure to wash your hands afterward and never put money near your face to avoid getting sick.

Tip for Scholarship applications!!!
Oh my!!! I am going to graduate in five months!!! How on earth do I pay for college??? Well, you should have already been working on them but, if you haven't, all hope is not lost because there are quite a few scholarships you cannot even apply for until the first of the year when tax forms come in. So, here are a few helpful tips...
Fill out your FASFA. You can do it online for free at the FASFA website, Never Ever pay for it. Also, on the "paying for scholarships" issue, never pay more than a postage stamp. If the website is not free then find a new one! (fastweb.com is a great, free site) After you have researched and done your homework narrow down the colleges that you are considering to three or four and focus on them, there a lot of scholarships that will only work through certain schools and programs in those colleges. There are also a lot of scholarships that work in any accredited college, you just have to hunt for them. Google scholarships for your desired major or for the schools that you want to attend.
Do not be afraid of writing essays, you are not being graded, the worst the school or foundation will do to it is not pick you to receive the scholarship. If the scholarship requires an essay...write one!! If you write enough good essays, and turn them into enough places, one might win. When you need reference letters, make sure you give the person you want to write your letter AT LEAST two weeks notice before you need to have it in the mail. If you wait until three days before it is due, the first day he will forget to write it, the second day he will have to go to a funeral, and the third day he will leave it at home. Oh, and make sure you give them a list of your achievements and awards so they don't say you were in the band when you really played basketball or say that you are and A/B student when you really have a 4.4 GPA. Lastly, go work on them NOW!!! If you wait too long you WILL miss out on the opportunity to get many of these scholarships.

Tips for the ACT
Tips for the ACT....
1. Read a lot your junior high, freshman and sophomore years. -these years the stress level and the work load of school are not as high and they are are also crucial development years for your reading abilitiy. Read books that are at or higher than your reading level to progress.
2. Take practice Science tests until you have found the way to process the information. All of the information that you need to answer the questions is there. You just have to figure out where it is on the page.
3. Take Algebra II. Most of the math section is from it with only a little of it being from Algebra I and Advanced Math I (aka Geometry and Trig)
4. Study your grammar. With the ORU english classes, you learn grammar, but if you are in traditional English you probably are not going over a bunch of grammar so you really need to study and understand it.
5. Get a good night sleep before the test. duh.
6. Eat a good breakfast (did the article in the last paper about metabolism?)
7. Do not fret
8. take it at least twice
9. Go in with a friend if you are in an unfamiliar place, such as another school. You will be less nervous waiting in line
