I'm Back!

It's been so long since I've posted! I apologize for the wait, I've just been extremely busy. Even over April vacation! I'm working on a Model United Nations conference, NYSSMA, and more... Hopefully, my life will stay just as happy and as busy as it is right now.

This week seems to be a week of "holidays". I use "holiday" with care, because not everything that's happening is really a cause for celebration. Here's the list of things happening:

1. Earth Day (Weds): This is one of my favorite holidays - I'm really keen on going green! (Hey, that rhymed!).
2. Unofficial Day of Silence (Fri): Although the actual day was last Friday, many groups are celebrating it this Friday because tons of schools were on April break last week. I love this day, because it gives me a chance to really show support for a great cause.
3. Holocaust Remembrance Day (Tues): This one's nice to set aside too. We had a moment of silence for it in school...
4. The Rescue (Sat): This one's new to me this year, but I'm really liking it!

Here's some links for each day:

• Earth Day
  
• Day of Silence
  
• Holocaust Remembrance
  
• The Rescue

Please check those out! They're lots of fun to explore!

Well, that's about all for now, so ttyl!

News. About my life.

Today we "celebrated" Earth Hour, a global cause that was started a few years ago. The main goal was to conserve some energy by turning out lights worldwide for 60 minutes. So tonight, from 8:30 to 9:30, my family participated. We basically spent the time talking with each other on our deck in the backyard, enjoying the fairly warm night. It was great to bond with my family, as most of the time, our schedules are too packed to do anything like this. It also got me thinking - people that were around before electricity/light bulbs must have been much closer to their families, and they must have also been more efficient during the daylight hours. Definitely an awesome opportunity to bond and get thinking. :)

Also, last night, we saw Monsters vs. Aliens. This is a children's movie, but in the theater that we were in, several couples were there, and in the almost empty theater, almost all of the people there were adults. The movie boasts an all-star cast, including Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen, Rainn Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon. This cast really holds up the cute plot of the movie. I loved watching it. It's a great movie for kids and adults!

It's nice to have a chance to talk about what's been going on in my life for a change. Thanks! See ya!
