Update 3/27

Finally, I am on spring break! I'm just glad I don't have any more finals. I finally get to relax, go outside with friends, and play on Xbox Live 24/7. I am meaning to come up to Hazelwood North to see Mrs. Benson, but my schedule has been quite busy. It's very hard blogging since nothing interesting has happened in my life. My main focus right now is one word....Relax.

New Update 3/14/12

Its have been a while since I have blogged(busy with school work. Private School!!), but from now on I will try to get two post per month. I'm just I'm off on Thursday and Friday( 3/15/12 & 3/16.12) and I have spring break starting on the 26th. Today was the record high for Missouri weather. It got up to 81F and that is pretty unusual for winter. To all the kids going to private school soon, it is VERY, VERY hard. I'm not talking about homework, but time management, class work, and getting used to things. I have to wake up at 5 o'clock everyday to get to my school( hour away from my house) and when I get to school.... the adventure begins. The hardest part is being the new kid( like me). The first two weeks of school, I had no friends and sat by myself at lunch. Then I met some pretty cool kids including an exchange student from South Korea. I then had 5 friends and now I only have like 15-20 now. I'm more of the shy kid and non-talkative type, but that just makes some kids want to get to know me better. Since I play 7 instruments, many kids know me for my musical talents and that has gained me some friends in my grade and out of my grade. Although I do miss Hazelwood North, I love Westminster. It is a different environment than Hazelwood North. The school is a christian school which makes some of the teachers and staff more friendly. It was a big change going over there, but I survived and you will too(if you are going to a private school). Well, I will continue to blog more and keep you 7th graders and Mrs. Benson entertained.

Long Time No See!

It's been a very, VERY, long time since I blogged. I feel like a nonentity on this blog now. I hope Mrs. Benson gets a chance to read this. I promised myself I would start blogging again to keep with myself and others. Everything has changed for me.I go to a private school( Westminster Christain Academy), I got taller, voice got deeper, and I have been changed ever since I went to the Joesph Baldwin Acdemy Program at Truman State University for 3 weeks. I met so many kids from different places and it was just a good chance to meet new poeple. I have made many lasting freidnships when kids from there, that we go over each others house on the weekend. Being in a private is way different from Hazelwood north. First of, its better education, and entertaining wise. My classes are only 30 minutes each and my gym period is everyday for 2 hours. The lunch is way better and there is a nicer environment. The only thing missing is my friends. I have made new friends, and new enemies. There are a few bullies, but all you have to do is not worry about them. I actually 14 now, so I'm 1 year away from getting my permit's (YEAH!). I already am learning how to drive and it's paying off. Thats gojung to be so wierd next year seeing a freshman drive in his own car(with a parent of course). I will try to continue to blog, even though I  have 4 hours of homework every night(including weekends). Who ever read this, JDOrange is back and better than ever.

Guards leaving Parliament Hill

It was July 18th 1977. I was 8 and a half years old. It was real chilly outside, so I decided to stay inside and watch TV. I turned on the TV and saw that there was a parade in Ottawa, Canada. There were these men in red shirts wearing fluffy black hats and carrying guns. The parade was crowded with people on the side lines. I watched as they marched like they were all that. I noticed that they were holding a Britain flag as they marched and that the parade was honoring someone or something. I saw the Switzerland flag on top of a building and I knew it was Parliament Hill. I learned about that place in the 4th grade. I watched the whole parade that day and even witnessed history.

Warrior Hero- Master Chief's House

If you ever visited Master Chief's house, you would find many weapons and accessories. You would find assault rifles, magnums, rocket launchers, battle rifles, smgs, frag grenades, and spartan lasers on the walls. In his closet, you would find a spare helmet and armor just in case he messes up his first one. In his basement, you would find practice dummies of Elites and other Covenant creatures. Outside, Master Chief has a Hornet landing base and a Banshee landing base. In his garage, you would find Warthogs, Scorpions, and Mongooses. Master Chief also has emergency drop panels just in case The Covenant attacks. That's a tour of Master Chief's house.

Phoenix Jones and The Rain City Superheroes

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this but, there are superheroes in Seattle. they are called The River City Superheroes and one of the members is Phoenix Jones. He made the worldwide news and he told his story. The group consists of 10 superheroes that go around stopping crime in Seattle. To me, these guys are amazing! Phoenix Jones states that he is doing this so he can make it better for everyone, especially his family.
