Dear palm trees of California,
Please come with me to massachusetts. I know it may not be the perfect Californian weather, maybe about 30 degrees less, but we have blankets and heaters!! :) Plus there is room on the plane in the bottom!! You'll meet new friends like oaks and pines! I just can't stand leaving you!!!
Sincerely,
Olivia

haha i had to. But seriously, I really don't want to leave California!! Thats why i'm begging my mom if we can steal my two ADORABLE cousins Lindsay and Emily, a few palm trees and maybe some of the warm weather and bring it all to MA.
I can't believe its already Thursday, I'll be going back home in 6 days and I'll miss school, which is bad because i have to make up a math and english test and catch up on all piles of high school homework. :P Vacation is really too short!!! *Would you rather have 2 months of summer vacation but 2 day weekends, or 1 month of vacation and 3 day weekends? ( i'll make it into a poll so you can answer!)
I would rather have 1 month of summer vaca and 3 day weekends bc i like it when free time is spread out, that way its less stressful.

I'll try to post some pictures up from my vacation on here as soon as possible!
Hope everyone has an amazing break and has as much fun as possible!

Peace out <3 <3 <3

California part one

hello people! It's Tuesday, and I've been in California for four days now. It went by soo quickly!! On Sunday and Monday my family went on a road trip to see Carmel, Santa Cruz and Monterey. In Carmel we saw a beautiful missionary and a wineary. Did you know that in California people built missionaries every 30 miles and built towns off of it? That's where all the Santa and Sans came from. (San Francisco, Santa Cruz etc) As always the missionary had a spanish roof and taste with palm trees and colorful flowers. In Carmel we also saw a wineary (idk if thats even a word!! but its a place where you make wine).
In Monterey we went on the 17 mile drive where famous celebrities and billionaires live. The houses were GIGANTIC and SUPER fancy!! Plus they had a view of the ocean. On the 17 mile drive we also saw the lone cypress, you know, that tree that shows up at the end of a ton of movies? google it and you'll remember.
Lastly, in Santa Cruz we just walked on the long boardwalk near the beach. It was very pretty because it was in the evening and there was an amusement park so there were many lights. We also had good ice cream :)
I really wanted to post some pictures from the trip but idk how to transfer the pictures onto the computer.
Hope everyone's having a SUPER DUPER vacation!!!!!!! :)

greeted in sunny, wonderful california by....rain?

heyyyyyy peeps! So I arrived in California yesterday and it was pretty special. It was rainy all day and it was very cold, the PERFECT weather for my amazing Cali! (note the sarcasm). Today I went to the mall and it's very different than the one in Natick. I got a sweatshirt and one of those light grey sweaters with a brown belt. BTW how do you spell grey? grey or gray? Oh yeah, and joking around with the security camera at the store is really fun! ;)
anyway, tomorrow I'm going to travel around California towards the south. We'll go to Carmel, Monterey and Santa Cruz. :D I really can't wait and its gonna b very fun! I'm trying to write down every single memory and thing that happened so I don't forget. That way, I'll avoid that horrible feeling that time goes by too quickly when I look back at everything I did! You should do that, I recommend it.

I hope we all have a good break!
I'll try to write about everything that happens on this blog! :)

Advice Column #2

Howdy ya'll!! i recently recieved two emails from my friend Lucy asking for advice here they are:

This girl kinda used to be my friend. Then she started acting mean to me! For instance, she often ignores me for no reason. Then also sometimes she gathers with some of her friends and they laugh and whisper. I have an inkling that that is about me. Could you please PlEaSe tell me what to say to her? I'm a bit timid so I can't yell at her.
Lucy

Dear Lucy,
I'm so sorry that happened!! You may be at an age where girls just want to fit in with the popular crowd and are very insecure! I hope it stops!
Whatever you do DO NOT use the internet! (no emails, IMs, facebook messages etc) it would be a huge mistake! In middle school I sent an email to my "friend" asking her what's wrong and why she was upset, my inbox flooded with hate messages and it was terrible, so please don't do that.
Now, talk to her very straightforwadly, calmly, and honestly. Begin by saying something like "I feel like I did something wrong, are you upset about something?"or "I was kind of hurt by the whispering around me, did I do anything to upset you?" say these things in a very calm way and make it look like its all your fault (even though we know its not!) so that way she won't turn her defensive mode on and start to insult you with her other friends. Once she does though, then you should use your best judgement and defend yourself in a good way, or talk to a parent.
If those things don't work, find new friends. Talk to another girl and invite her over to your house for a movie, or just to hang out. You shouldn't feel forced to spend time with your mean friends. It may seem very difficult at first, but you'll get used to it and it will be easy.
If all else fails, talk to your mom. If she has a good relationship with the mom of your "friend" ask her to gather some info on what has been going on with her recently. Maybe its not you? What if her parents are getting divorced and she's letting it out on you?
Good luck and I hope for the best for you!!

Second email:
My best friend has become ObSsEd with boys lately. I like boys but its not all i want to talk and think about. I feel like we have less to talk about nowadays. Also, she is also in LoVe with makeup, which I don't like at all. If you could offer any advice about what to do it would be so thoughtful. I don't want us to stop being BFFLS for something cooky like this.
Lucy
Dear Lucy,
I really hope you don't lose your best friend for something like this. What about doing something with her that you both like? Shopping, horse-back riding, swimming, watching a movie you both really like? Something to get the frienship going on again. Maybe you could possibly (?) try out what she has been talking about. Who knows? Maybe putting on crazy makeup and having a photo shoot with your favorite music will be fun? Or prank calling that guy you also had a crush on? You can always spend time with her and add a twist to the boring things she has been talking about. If you really don't like any of these things and you have nothing to talk about with her, then it may be time for you two to take a break from each other. You really can't force yourself to be friends with a person you don't want to be friends with.
Join some clubs at school with kids that have the same interests as you. Sewing, writing, photography? Just join any of these clubs and meet new kids that you can relate to and that you have in common with, your BFFL isn't the only person on earth!
Good luck Lucy!!

I am very very very very scared of planes!!!! Whenever we take off I always think the engine will fail and we'll drop out of the sky or some bird will get stuck in the engine!!!! What should I doooo????????
afraidofplanes

Dear afraidofplanes,
As a matter of fact, I'm also EXTREMELY scared of planes! my family is going to california tomorrow and i'm freaking out! But here are some things to know/do to make you feel better:
* Part of what i'm scared of is the steep tilt when starting off. What i do is I put my chest to my knees so it feels like we're on a flat surface that is just loud. I usually sing an annoying kids song or something to keep me preoccupied.
* when on the plane take a book or a game or something to keep your mind off the plane. when you're cruising and when people walk around is a time when you don't have to be afraid.
* When landing just focus on the beautiful view from your window and daydream about what you'll do when you get there. The pilots know what they are doing and they have probably been doing this for many years.
Some statistics:
* the probability of an accident are 1 in 11 million!!! but for a car its 1 in 5000. so clearly planes are MUCH safer than cars!!! and who is afraid of driving a car?~
* nearly 96% of people in crashes survive.
So don't be afraid!! have fun!!

Random Memories :)

hey everyone!! Just got back from school so I decided to take a break and write in this blog! :) I had a good day, just got my report card back :/ I did slightly better than before, which is good. ANyway, today I still have a flute lesson and I'm playing Elegrie (Donjon), Nocturne, and this other one. I recently tried out for the Junior Districts and I played Sonata in F major. I didn't get in though :( I got sooo nervous, my heart was beating and I was trembling. When I started to play the air wouldn't go in right because of my trembling! I was very close though, and it's funny to think because the whole process and steps were so easy, it was just my nervousness that took over and got the best of me. :( You win some,you lose some, I guess....
Anyway, I chose to write down a random memory when I feel like it. It isn't linked with anything, its just random!
*Going to Tijuana, Mexico*
During February break of 2010 my family and I went to California, to visit my cousins, aunt, uncle and grandparents. California is probably my favorite state, its GORGEOUS, the climate is perfect for me, i have a TON of good times there and its just a place for relaxing and creating life long memories. :') So we were going to San Diego to visit the zoo and travel around. We saw Old Town which is a small city close to San Diego. It's like someone took all the amazing qualities of Mexico (its food, culture, landscapes) dragged it out and crossed the border. I litteraly felt like I was in Mexico there!! (BTW they have amazing burritos, my favorite food!!) Anyway, when we were in San Diego, my sister kept nagging my mom so we could visit another country. For me being like 'oh hey lets go visit another country today!' is nothing THAT special. So then we were all like 'hey we're so close to Mexico, why not cross the border and see what its like over there'. Thats what we did. We went through this very long line. There were posters of children that were kidnapped or people that crossed the border illegally. When we crossed the border it was COMPLETELY different. It kinda scared me. There were many homeless people, when we drove through the roads people kept trying to sell us things through the window, there were outdoor stores. We drew a lot of attention because we are white people in a taxi visiting a poor, 3rd world city. It's so strange how different these two worlds are and how it only took 30 minutes to cross the border. Overall though, I thought it was interesting and very unique and an experience that is completely new to me.
Soooo that was my first random memory!! hope you all enjoyed!
Have to go now do hw :P

mah day

hey everyone!!
I really really should be studying for my HUMONGOUS history test thats on monday but i feel like writing in this blog instead!! :) Anyway, so today my mom and I went to this grand opening of a boutique. One of her friends (who came to us for thanksgiving) opened her own wedding/prom dress store and its so cute! **My mom always says: "your friends are a reflection of you". ** [I will use brackets for advice/quotes] While we were there, I met Miss Massachusetts!! Like the girl that won the pagent and the title! She was pretty short though. Her name is Loren Galler Rabinowitz, she is really an overachiever!! She is a professional ice skater (represented the US in the olympics), she went to Harvard to become a doctor, she is an amazing piano player, a poet AND miss massachusetts!!! that makes me feel very boring and untalented. It was so interesting to meet her, sort of like how I met that famous Polish pop star at the airport. <-- Her name is Doda. We were going through the security check points when she was like 'awww what a cute puppy!!' to Nelly. I could tell it was her because it looked like her, she had the same voice, a tattoo of wings on her back, and she had a familiar laugh. When we found out it was her we freaked out and wanted a picture. It was bad because there were x-rays at the checkpoint so we couldn't take any pictures. That was an experience!!!
Anyway, gotta go study now :P ughh
wish me luck on the history test!
