Do I Miss Makeup?

The only reason I am grounded from makeup is because of my unkept nails.  If I were to just stop biting them and let them grow out, then I would most likely be afforded the opportunity to wear makeup again.  I have a feeling like a novice all over again, because I do not know what the new products are out!  Seeing as I was able to catch up on everything when I was 13 and it took me about 2 weeks I don't see how I can't do it again.

Tysons Corner has a Town Square?

When I was told to pack up my things, and that we were moving to a city called Tysons Corner I was scared.  Better said, I was timid for what was going to come next.  You see I didn't want to turn the next page and continue writing my story, because what if it didn't go the way I had planned?  I mustered up the courage to make new friends and continue my journey commonly referred to as life.

Originally I envisioned a corner named after a guy named Tysons, but that was were our apartment would be; I thought I was going to live on the corner that Tyson named.  I was wrong and Tysons Corner was a city, while it had a major mall it had the potential to get a lot busier.  Now with the implementation of the new metro there have been construction companies working at it for the past few months.  While it might be super crowded and we might live in danger and theft, there are benefits.

An example of what the benefits of the new Tysons includes the Town Square that has been built.  It is called to Learners Tysons Corner Town Square and this city is actually going to hold events there.  I can't wait to go to the first event, and see how they have put everything together.

The Library's Kindle?

Recently, I have decided that I have an interest for reading all types of book, specifically mysteries.  I have not started Sherlock Homes, or any other famous thrill books.  What I have found the most interest is in is when I am turning the page to see what other clues the reader gives us about a case.  I have tried to download books from the Kindle, but I never actually used the Kindle device so we sold it.  Now I use the app for my Mac, or the iPad which makes reading easier on the eyes because I can change the font, and color.  I tried going to the library in my community, but all the books were feminist historical non-fiction books.  I did not pick up anything I couldn't put down.  Then I tried to visit the library on a Sunday, and that defiantly did not work out, because it was closed.  After that,  I tried to go to the online data base that the library has and I put a bunch of books on hold.  I suddenly got a flood of emails telling me the books were ready to be picked up.  That is when I realized I didn't have a sure way to get to the library, so I resorted to the Digital Library they have.  This Digital Library contains popular books that are free to check out and borrow for some time.  Which in my opinion is odd, because if it is online why can't everyone have a copy?

2014 World Cup

I still remember Barcelona winning the World Cup, was I in sixth grade?  I believe it was 2011, and we were in a crowded dimmed cafe with a widescreen television.  They were playing the final soccer match and people surrounded the television with appetizers.  I didn't have food, rather I had my aunt to keep me company.  We were watching the game and we stayed until Barca won.   It was great because she visiting from Spain, and I am half Spanish, so it was a great moment of pride when we won.  Now it is the 2014 World Cup and I have to say, time really does fly.  I have changed so much, for the better as always.  It will be interesting to see who would win this year. . .

College Essays...

It is not that time of the year, rather it is too early for that hectic season.  I am just finishing up my sophomore year, and I overheard upperclassman discussing the struggles of writing college essays.  After getting around to think about it those five minutes before class was over I realized that college essays are all about myself.  I just need to sell myself, and point out how fabulous my life is, along with my countless achievement.  I mean how hard could bragging be?

Scary

The yellow tinted light made it hard for me to open my eyes, but I was able to open them enough to make out his face.  I always awaken frightened from my slumber, and once again I freaked out because I had no idea where I was.  My hands were strapped down, and the man laughed saying it was no use.  He played my youtube cover of Bullet Proof, and added "if the straps are bullet proof, then they are defiantly Hailey-proof."  He approached me and as he did my eyes remained squinted. My eyes weren't bothered by the light, rather I was terrified of what was going to happen next.  In the movies this is the worse part, so a shiver was sent down my spine...   That is all I remember, and I begun to cry.  Had I been buried alive?  It seemed like dirt was seeping from the walls into where I laid.  At least I wasn't claustrophobic I thought.  Suddenly, the memory of a conversation of the worst way to die appeared in my head.  My answer was getting skinned alive, so I should be thankful that that is not happening to me.

Summer Jobs!

Babysitting where the struggle could get real.  What I mean is that their are so many opportunities when stumbling into a career, like watching other peoples kids.  I was told by the mom that I would have to tell the boy no if he did something wrong.  Luckily, this is not my first picnic and when I told them that they laughed and smiled as they saw me as a great candidate for the position.  Everyone seems to be getting summer jobs, and I didn't realize it but I too have fallen into this trap.  I am just like the typical teenager getting a summer job for these months off.
