RAWR

Some Advice...

Here's a tip for all juniors who are becoming seniors: START YOUR COLLEGE ESSAYS EARLY!!  I'm doing it and so should you.  Imagine, if you start NOW while you have long days of doing NOTHING then you can be done with the most stressful part of college apps.  I remember last year's senior class Freaking Out with capital FO because they started they're essays late.  The other college application stuff is just tedious paperwork, but the essay is UBER difficult because you're supposed to write an essay about YOU.  So, this summer while you have nothing better to do, write an essay about yourself and have people help you out while you're at it.  Come November, you'll breathe just a little easier knowing you've already done the hard stuff.

3 Awesome Things (June)

Summer: (n) 1. The warmest season of the year, falling between spring and autumn. It runs from June to August in the northern hemisphere and from December to February in the southern hemisphere 2. A period of greatest happiness, success, or fulfillment in the life of somebody or something (1)

Summer is technically here now, but alas, Marin weather hath been a tad moody this past season. Only this morning 'twas foggy and cold in Mill Valley and San Anselmo, however the day cleared up and the sun broke through the clouds for the afternoon. 'Twas lovely indeed.

(2)

Penguin: (n) An upright web-footed seabird with contrasting black and white feathers that cannot fly but uses its flipper-shaped wings for swimming. Native to: cold regions of the southern hemisphere (1)

Penguins are just cute and cuddly and they can't fly but they do their flying in the water man. Have you ever seen a penguin swim? Neither have I, but I've seen videos and it's awesome!! I know penguins don't really go with summer, but that's okay. They still rock some socks.

(3)

Balloon: (n) 1. A small colored bag made of thin rubber or plastic that is inflated with air or helium and used as a toy or decoration 2. An extremely large bag filled with a lighter-than-air gas and used as a form of air transport, carrying passengers or equipment in a suspended basket or gondola 3. A glass with a large rounded bowl, used for drinking brandy (1)

Balloons are colorful and if you inhale the helium your voice goes all high and you sound like a chipmunk would sound if chipmunks could talk... And then there are those clowns that can take a balloon and turn it into a dog. That's perty nifty if you ask me. Though clowns are kinda scary... (o.0)
