Pictures from our trip to North Carolina



















Hi once more, this time I got some cool more exciting sort of stuff, even though I know barely anyone reads this to begin with.. (It's more to keep me occupied :P)
Annnyway.. so here are some pictures I took in the Lysol-label-perfect scenery of North Carolina. We went canoeing in a huge, glassy lake, it was so awesome.. Everything was intensely hilly, I mean real cliff-like driveways and everything.. My dad was trying to pull into this driveway of a friend we were visiting, the driveway no kidding was like a precipice! We all were like "No! Don't do it!" But we parked there anyway. In the end.

Babysitting!

Hey again. Yesterday me and my sisters babysat at a Rutgers Muslim Alumni Association Reunion Dinner! We did little paper plate creature crafts and Father's Day cards with the kids and we even made twisty balloons into swords, flowers, swans, and ducks for them, it was so cool and lots of fun (but a little tiring an exhausting at the same time). It's like imagine seven little hyper kids running around you and shouting "No I want a PINK sword, SHE wants the flower" and "I want TWO swords and one for him" and even "Make me a balloon NOW!". Aaaah one moment one dilemma and the next moment when you turn around some kid is trying to pull out the hair of the other because they said that "I'm not the best!".
And then there were the older second and first grade boys walking around like the ruled the world and fighting with swords and paper airplanes. So it's like "Hey you can't open that door it's the emergency exit. Wait, stop, you have to listen, I'm the babysitter."
Then they go, "You're my babysitter? Feed me porridge." ?!?! I know right... Kids totally do not make sense sometimes.
Yeah, just sometimes.

Yet another end-of-the-year shtuff shmooshed into a week

Ya. Wow. It's been.. (looking away calculating on fingers) FOUR MONTHS! *gasp* this is terrible! I've been so busy I've never got time to post :( Well, yay now I can!
End-of-the-year-ness shtuff, end of Latin class (a really hectic test with not a moment where someone wasn't talking, oh geez), end of the year e3 gala (Ted and Nate graduated this time, watermelon!), and I gots summer things in a few weeks too (time flies so fast. One moment it's the middle of winter and mock trial craziness addiction ect and the next moment it's the end of summer and you're saying bye to everyone see ya next yr!)...
Good news, though! Now that it's summer I'm gonna be muuuuch better about posting regularly and stuff ^_^
Finished my high school bio textbook too and my exhibition, and Finding Agnes and my Islamophobia article (that's gonna get PUBLISHED soon!!) and the ezine stuff! I just LOVE finishing off things. It just gives you SUCH a good feeling of fulfillment like you actually did something. Well, I have to get back to my busy life now, but I will pull myself to a stop every so often to write about what is going on. Until next time... adios
