For My Birthday...

I got a longboard from my dad! I love it! The whale is so awesome and 5% of the profits goes to SavetheWhales.org!

St. Croix ALC

St. Croix ALC is the alternative course of action from the usual high school courses, the hallway traffic, big class sizes, and, of course, slipping through the cracks. The St. Croix ALC is a close-knit, first-name-basis, one hallway kind of place that isn't trying to pile pressure onto the students by giving excessive homework, forcing us to sit still for more than three hours at a time, and we don't feel the need to dress up everyday to impress one another. This place is judgement free.
Until you attend this facility, you won't fully understand the meaning this place holds to many of the students. Many former students are even getting concerned with the upcoming debate on the 916 program taking over the building this upcoming summer causing students who might've fallen behind that would graduate in the early to mid-summer, like me to not graduate in time for college in the fall. The smaller class sizes help students get one-on-one attention that many do not receive at the high school causing students to easily slip through unnoticed and failing.
The teachers here actually give their students the time of day to ask how the fishing trip turned, or how your crazy aunt's surgery was, they don't hesitate to move beyond small talk. Teachers and students here have relationships rarely found in traditional school systems. The ALC is a family of learners, the students and teachers find ways to surprise each other with new information and I enjoy that. We have one hallway and everyone uses it, nodding at one another or a simple "good morning" or "good afternoon" to all those you pass by. What we need to do instead of budgeting our systems, is value learning more than grades.

Psychedelic Rock

Psychedelic Rock was a hit in the 60s and 70s with The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and many other bands of the past. Psychedelic rock made it's way through the generation of rebels and the anti-conformists and the hippies. Many of these bands split up after a few decades or just simply faded away along the with the trend. Many of these bands are quite trendy in today's culture and I hope it continues to pass through generations beyond mine. I understand we don't listen to music made over one hundred years ago, but surely some of the future offspring will be slightly interested in the music of their ancestors.
Psychedelic Rock was one of the greatest moments of music history because those symphonies were able to make you feel, imagine, and hear all different kinds of sensations beyond physical comprehension and push the brain into finding new ways to explore itself. Some of the bands stated had even played at Woodstock in 1969 such as, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Grateful Dead, and many others, the point is that many young adults were moved and influenced so much in this era of mental exploration beyond the five sense realm and create ideas that would travel to my era and beyond.

Prom Dress.

This dress.

This color. 

Or this color?

Or maybe this color?

Well, crud. Now, I can't decide.

Dream Home

Staircase with a slide for easy transportation downward     ----->

Have a cozy library all to myself

A gaming area to look something like this
 

Art & posters of all sorts

 

     

I also love to swim, so having a pool would be terrific...especially with a slide (:

My bedroom would be my piece of heaven with an awesome bed.

My bathroom would need to be bright enough to wake myself up in the morning but not blind me in the middle of the night

My kitchen would always be full of food.
