More On Disneyland!

Hey bloggers!
So, I'm super sorry if I'm talking so much about Disneyland lately, but I'm super excited. I'm starting to pack already because in 8 days we load the trailer with our luggage, our uniforms, and our instruments. You can't imagine how excited I am because I'm freaking out as I type this. I will try to get pictures on here after the trip, and I might even be able to bring my laptop along for the ride so I can blog everyday. I'm hoping to see a celebrity, what are the chances I'll see someone famous at the airport or Disneyland? That'd be crazy!! I'm going to try to do stuff around the house to see if I can get money before I go. That would be perfect. My bag is going to be so packed with stuff it's not funny. We're there for five days and we get to go into the park four of those days. Anyways, I can't wait.
Stay adventurous,
Katie <3

School Rant!

Hey bloggers!
So today I want to talk about Math. Honestly, I used to love math. I loved feeling smart. But I'm not a textbook learner. I don't learn by doing busywork, I learn by creating models, and talking about what I've learned. If only schools were rich enough to support every way of learning. Wouldn't that be great? You wouldn't have kids being stupid because they'd be able to learn the same amount of material in a way that suits them, not the nation's wallet. Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Is that really what you want kids to believe? That just because they don't learn a certain way they're condemned to a lower lifestyle than a kid that can fit in with everyone else? I thought that schools wanted you to think it's okay to be different. Let's change this to, "We want you to be exactly who you are, as long as you can adapt yourself to learn in the way we want you to." This is brainwashing. I could be the smartest person in the world, but if I can't concentrate while I read a textbook, then no one is going to care. Well, I should probably stop ranting for a while. Thanks for reading all of my words.
Stay learning the way you WANT,
Katie <3

Mixed Feelings and Disneyland!

Hey bloggers!
What are you supposed to say when someone asks you out that you just want as a friend? Well on one hand, you want to be honest and tell them the truth - that you just want them as a friend. On the other hand, you feel bad to hurt them, so you might want to give them a chance. Just let me tell you, it's way better to be honest about it than to lead them on only to break it off later. Honestly, never lead someone on. It's rude, disrespectful, and it hurts them on a deep emotional level. On another note, Disneyland is 16 days away. I can't wait to be in the sun, sing and play music, and just hang out at the happiest place on Earth. Maybe there will be some romance, but it'll be awesome just to hang out with all my friends. Today is Earth Day, so here's to all the amazing trees in the world that give us life. Before I go, I wanted to let you know that I did get the part in another play, Uncle Phil's Diner. I'm Tammy, and I get to sing the song Tammy. How fitting. My character will be awesome, and I'm so excited to start rehearsing. Well, I better go.
Stay the great people that I know you are,

Day of Silence and More!

Hey bloggers!
So today, I participated in the Day of Silence. Basically, you don't talk for the whole day in honor of the people that have been silenced due to bullying. I was successful, but a lot of people were rude about it. I was typing on my phone to someone, and they said, "I'm not going to talk to you unless you use your words." Wow. Glad to know there's still decent people in the world. Not. Sigh. Anyways, I might be auditioning for another play tonight. Apparently, my friend's dad is the director and she told him I have a pretty voice. Why? Now he's going to have high expectations, and I'm nervous. On another note, I'm really excited to be going to Disneyland with the band and choir. There's only 19 days left! There's an Olympic sized pool at the hotel, and I'm excited that a cute guy is going. But hey, enough of that Katie. I am getting obsessed with Reddit now, because I got gifted gold. Reddit is an amazing social network that you really have to go to to understand. I should probably get started on my homework though so see ya!
Don't bully,
Katie <3

Talking About The Future!

Hey bloggers!
Life isn't perfect, but neither are we. Sometimes we just need to give it a chance, even when it's most likely to turn around on us. Right now, I really feel like just going far, far away and never returning. Have you ever felt like that? Maybe I'm being too emotional. There's not much going on right now, other than me getting super excited to go to Disneyland in May with the band and choir at my school. We're going for 5 days, and my mom's the chaperone. Haha. I'm pretty sure I'll have a blast. And then, the rest of school will go by SUPER fast. Then, it will be summer and I will have to do a whole bunch of bucket list things! I'm not sure about what yet, but it'll happen! Anyways, I feel like I'm kind of rambling now so I'll see you next time!
Stay great,
Katie <3

Memories and More!

Hey bloggers!
It's spring break now, and I'm loving it! It's nice to finally have a break from everyone and school. I want to go hang out with some friends though too. We got an offer on our house that we're selling, and there's like a 90% chance we'll take it! I'm excited! So today, I was looking around and found all of my ex-boyfriend's letters to me. I'm keeping a big box of stuff from life just for memories. What do you think, bloggers? Should I get rid of all of it? Or is it small enough that it won't matter? Decisions, decisions. Jayme's birthday is tomorrow, and I'm going crazy to make it a good one. :) I already have a list of things I need to do tomorrow. Anyways, I'm pretty tired so I'll let you guys sleep too.
Stay the amazing people that you are,
Katie <3
