Hola! Well compared to my brother's blog, mine is going to be much duller in comparison. :( Haha, but let's get on with it!
1) I went to Urbana-Champaign University of Illinois (I might have mixed up the words.. xD) today to see my brother run the marathon! Wahhh he did awesome!! *throws streamers and confetti* Yayy! Hehe. ^_^ We woke up around 6 a.m., and I was so excited and went to wake up my mom (dad was already up). Around 6:30, we left the house to start driving the 3 hour drive down. I read my book in the car- big mistake. >.< I got really carsick and felt dizzy. But luckily, after we got to U of I the feeling eventually passed. :) While we were driving around, looking for a parking spot, we saw a crowd of blurring colors- the runners!!! There was music playing, and a bunch of people, the runners, booths, mist thingys, and more! It was fun and the best part was we saw you in the middle of the race (so randomly, too!) and when you crossed the finish line. :D I saw you I saw you! You pumped your arms in the air. ^_^ Hehe that was funny.
2) After we left your dorm, we went to the Japanese gardens/house. It was really pretty. :) Except we couldn't go inside because it was locked. :( Boooo! Oh well, I peeked inside and there was a lady staring back at me. o.O (she was a worker or something). So I got out of there real fast. XD All these pretty fountain things, flowers, pebbles, bamboo, etc. I didn't want to leave but we had to start driving back home after that. :(
3) After I got home, I took a shower. Yeah, it is sort of sad that a shower made it under my top 3 most interesting events of my day, but I don't know what else to write. >.< Lol sorry mine may have been boring for you because you already know what i did xD. I kind of copied your first two things, but oh well. It's from a different perspective, at least!!
Well, that's all for today! I'm glad we got to see you run. :D I realized i used a lot of emoticons in this post... Strange. o.O It's 8, so I'm going to go make ramen or something for dinner (self service tonight) and do some homework. New update will be up tomorrow!

There's a slick town, Barnaby!
Greetings! I'm in for my 4th post. :D Well, not much to say, so let's get into it! Here are my big 3-
1) We had something today that has never happened to me before- a super, super late start! Nope, not the regular 9:10 late starts... But today, school started at 10:30! :O Except, my stupid internal clock woke me up at 7 a.m. -_- But that's okay, I had time to make crepes! Yummy!
2) After practice today, our entire badminton team went to Barnaby's (ha, get the title reference now? I hope you know where it's from xD). I've never been there until tonight (or even heard of it). They have awesome pizza! It was really fun, and good bonding time for us. :) But it's sad because the season ends next Tuesday. I'm not going to have anything to do after school anymore... (Well actually, I have clubs and such but a lot of them ended/aren't meeting as often as before.)
3) This 3rd thing is kind of a serious one. So at the restaurant, two badminton people were laughing/making fun of this one, sort of socially awkward, girl at school. They were mocking her laugh and stuff like that. And that just made me feel really mad. I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT when people gossip about others, and especially behind their backs too. I know it's sometimes easy to fall into, but I know personally I really try not to. In between their laughter, the girls were like "we're so mean!" but kept on laughing. If you acknowledge your problem, then why do you continue to do it? It's rude and disrespectful to others and to yourself. What's your thoughts on it?
Anyways, my day overall was alright... School was good because the blocks were only an hour long, but I didn't do so hot in practice and the thing that happened at the restaurant sort of made me even more down. :( But that's okay, tomorrow's another day! Me and mom are gonna go watch The Office at 8... I'm out!

my shoes still squish and squeak and squelch.
Hey hey hey! Hopefully you read this tonight or tomorrow morning. Anyways, a lot of stuff happened today! You know how I said my posts would probably get shorter as time goes on? Well, this one might be long... So, sorry for that! I hope you don't mind. :) Well now, on to the "Big 3"!
1) As you know, I went to CHICAGO today! It was awesome! We got there around 9 am, and walked around Millennium Park. We saw statues and sculptures, and then analyzed them (sounds nerdy, but it was for Gifted, so what do you expect?). We saw "Cloudgate" (aka the bean), "Chicago", "Four Seasons", "Monument With Standing Beast", and "Untitled". THEN, we went to the Art Institute and got to go off on our own to explore for an hour and a half. We also had to find a piece of art to write a one page critique/analysis on (I KNEW there was a catch to a fun field trip... -_-). Then, we went BACK to Millennium Park and ate lunch there. We had splitten (SIDE NOTE: isn't "splitten" a word? It's underscored in red squiggles, but I'm almost positive this word exists...) up again for 40 minutes to eat and walk around, then we would meet back at the bus stop at 1:20. Around 1, it starts to rain. REALLY, REALLY HARD. And we are surrounded by metal, which doesn't help the situation. So we race back to the bus stop, soaking wet. THEN, a couple kids had went off to places they weren't supposed to, and my teacher had to run all around looking for them so he got sort of mad... But besides that, the trip was fun. :)
2) While we were having our adventures in Chicago, the students and teachers back at Hoffman had stuff going on too... Apparently, there was a power outage at school during 2nd Block, and then at 3rd there was a bomb threat!! And a lockdown!! That's pretty scary. I'm sort of glad I wasn't there... Lol but still, I always miss exciting stuff. -_- People say someone tried to do a "fake" bomb threat to get out of the ACTS tomorrow (which, I don't have to take, so I don't have school tomorrow!! :D). So this 2nd point didn't actually happen to ME, but it was still interesting!
3) We had the weirdest thing for dinner today. So we had chicken nuggets, asparagus, rice, and mostacholi... Seems perfectly normal, right? Nope! The chicken nuggets weren't fried- they were BAKED. It was the strangest thing. o.O
Ahaha, did you notice my posts slowly got shorter? Anyways, sorry this was long! I'll try to write shorter ones for this weekend's blog. :)
P.S. Don't you love this title? I thought of it myself *proud*. But I couldn't find the right word to describe the sound of water in my shoes, so I put all 3 in. So I had to look it up online-- this is what I found.
Squishy describes the sound of the water combined with the squeak.
Squeaky describes simply the shrill sound, water is not necessary.
So....
If the water is INSIDE the shoe, it's squishy.
If the water is on the FLOOR, it's squeaky.
:O wowza!

Easter, Food, Death Glares, Car Naps...
Hi there! Here is the second blog post of my blogging history. :D yayy! Here are my "3 Things"-
1) Today was EASTER! Except, it didn't really FEEL like it was Easter... I dunno, we didn't get baskets or anything so it didn't feel complete. :( The sorrows of growing up... sigh. It's okay though, I still had a fun day. We went to my Grandma's house, and saw my uncle, aunt, and cousin. We had a yummy lunch/dinner (linner?), had cake, talked, took a walk, etc. Since we spent pretty much our entire day there, my 2nd event/"thing" is also going to be from this trip.
2) At Grandma's, I realized how much I missed warm weather! That's why I'm super excited for summer! I relaxingly sat under a tree, reading "The Odyssey" with the bestest big little brudder there is. Though I was getting frustrated with myself with my slow progress through the pages of my school assignment, the warm breeze just made me feel happy. All was well... except until my brother was hanging from the tree and the person's death glare from the house across the field prompted us to leave... fast.
3) This next "thing" (I dunno what to call them- events? Experiences? So I just call them "things" *shrug*) I realized today is how much I hate waking up from napping in the car. Like seriously, the emotions I feel after being disrupted makes me just want to punch a pillow! I'm not sure how else to explain it. Like I get so stressed out, I feel stiff, and just want to go back to sleep again but I know I'm going to have to wake up soon anyways so why bother. I hate that feeling of having to wake up. >:( But after 10 minutes the feeling passed, so it's all good! Future note: wake me up GENTLY if I'm ever sleeping in the car. ;)
Well, that's all for now! I'll be back Tuesday for another post! I'm out~

Salutations!
Hi! This is my first blog I've ever made! It's fun! But all the template and decorating is a bit confusing. >.< Oh well, I'll work more on it to make it look better later. Here are my 3 interesting things-
1) Well, today I had a badminton tournament. I know you are probably going to be thinking that's boring, but it was pretty fun! It lasted about 9 hours of just watching Varsity play matches, one after another. My friends and I explored, watched, ate, and helped out. Me and my friend who's a sophomore would play this "game" where she would balance a bottle of Gatorade on my head, and she would tickle me and try to make me move (thus making the bottle fall). It was really amusing. This is an extremely random one!
2) I went on a bike ride with my big little brudder. Just like old times! We biked to Dooley, and talked, and listened to our music, and went on the swings. I can't wait until summer when we get to do it all the time.
3) Today, something happened that rarely EVER happens in my family- we ate dinner around 10:15 PM! The reason why was because we went to an Easter service at church and didn't get back until late. Sukiyaki- yum, and our regular Saturday dinner tradition. :)
Well, that's all for now! Tomorrow is Easter, and though I know we won't be getting baskets that's okay... At least we will visit Grandma.
