Camping ect, ect...

I haven't been able to come up with an interesting topic lately or anything to write about...until now.
Camping, Summer, ect, ect..
I went Camping and learned how to shoot a gun! Rather shocking for a sixteen year old girl to learn something like that, huh? You'd say, "most girls don't enjoy that, did you miss every time?, wasn't it hard?, I bet you didn't even shoot anything,". Well for all of your information I did shoot and kill chipmunks, and yes I enjoyed it! I missed quite a few times (crying out loud! It was my first time!!) and I thought it was a lot of fun!
Besides my fun with hunting, my friends and I had some other fun with fishing, campfires, wolf (up til 2am playing), catching a lizard, carrying buckets of water, and even doing word...and number searches. And of course whats a trip without a good game of Phase Ten?
I would like to thank Mrs. Crane and my mother, the two bestest, coolest, awesomest moms ever!!
Over the summer my mom has been in a Summer Class, gone most of the time studying and in classes. She worked really hard and I am so proud of all she has done to become a Nurse. Hopefully she will not be as stressed with the Beginning of the School year coming up. Besides that, in May I went to Nebraska with my two other Nebrasateers friends. And enjoyed traveling with them. And also having a blast with the Crane Family while there. I would never of been able to go to Ordinations with out them. I had some interesting experiences on that journey, on and off the planes. But I enjoyed every minute. Now I believe I am more prepared for traveling to Italy. And I wont pack SO lightly. ;-p
(Off subject here now....for a sec)
I realized something over the summer about friends. If I didn't have my friends, I don't think I would be whole different person. I mean it! I believe your friends have a big impact on your life, besides God and your Family. They help you through stuff, laugh with you, have fun with you, help you, talk with you, and even make you feel better while being sick. :-D I just wanted to touch on that a bit, I'll probably write about that more later...Anyways. I'm gonna try and write more.. (yeah, yeah I said that already!) But, my new English Teacher wants me to write all the time now. Even when I have nothing to say, to just plot down what I'm thinking. So I'm gonna try. :-)

Back on subject...sort of)

School,
Last Monday I started school for the year! I am now a Sophmor!! And on top of that, I got sick! :-| Probably from having a blast camping and getting really, really, hyper with my friends from licorice and hersheys (you'll see what I mean in the pictures....). But anyways, I have my same teacher from last year (thankgoodness!!). My subjects are Biology, Math, World History (Oh boy!! :-|), English 2, Spanish 2, and the reading elective where I read 100 pages a week (or more). All my classes are on friday, except Spanish which is twice a week.
I started off on a ruff start with getting sick. But I finished everything that needed to be finished for Monday, when I meet with my teacher. Now, I can relax, and write to you and enjoy getting better. I believe thats it for now...

On to the pictures!!!

Sinceramente,
~Shannon (a.k.a. Shunday) :-p
