Beautiful Things

My friend told me of this really good song. Its called "Beautiful Things" by a band called Gungor. Its actually really good.

Well other then that, I decided to create a bucket list. Yea, I know its cheesy and weird. But they say it really helps give you a perspective on your life. You know what I mean? Yes? No? Ok well if you don't, I'm sorry. Lately I have been confused so I think I need to do something that will help clear everything up.

Sometimes I wish I didn't live in a village. It makes everything so complicated sometimes. But I have gotten to experience things that are awesome. Like fishing, shooting, driving heavy equipment and lots of other things. I like living in a village.

Ok so I found this new website that you can sign up for and it will let you rate the books you've seen and give you recommendations!

Its really awesome! I am having to much fun with it at the moment so I am going to end this post :)

Juneau

All last week I was at Juneau for the Alaska Close Up. I learned a lot about our system of government and I got to meet a lot of new people. I also got sick -__-

Close Up was lots of fun. I learned A LOT about government. We learned about bills, senators, representatives, and what everyone does. Me and my friend, Erin, got to meet our representative and our senator and we showed them a project about a community problem. Ours was about all the old heavy equipment in our village that can't be used anymore. Both of our representative and senator told us that it was more of a local project and to talk to our village council.

It was a lot of fun, I made some new friends too. There was only 20 kids there and there was supposed to be about 40. I personally liked the smaller group better. Next year I am going to try to be an intern there.

I sadly do not get to play basketball :( My parents didn't want me traveling because I have already been gone a week and I'm sick. I do want to go but I can't. They have also combined the jamboree and districts so I do not get to play basketball at all this year. -__- I hate travel sometimes.

But this weekend, I get to go up to King Salmon and learn how to weld. So I'm excited about that. But from there, I travel straight to anchorage for spring break. We get to be there for the Fur Rondy. I've never been there before but my mom says its fun and there are a lot of things to do.

Well not much else has happened so yea :-/

Title-less book and music

I've noticed I start a lot of my posts with "Ok" and I was just about to do it to this one :-/ I usually can't think of anything else.

But, first off my book. I wouldn't say that its going great but its not going bad either. I have about 17,000 words at the moment. Sometimes I don't know what to write so I just don't because I don't want it to be boring. I found some websites with some helpful tips so I am going to post that on a secret FB group of writers ;)

Music, I found this new band called Thousand Foot Krutch. They are pretty awesome. I find them to be a toned down Escape the Fate mixed with AFI. But they are good so I would recommend looking them up. 

I was suppose to leave today for our Basketball jamboree but travel is cancelled until tomorrow. :/ But I still can't wait. After the jamboree, I get to go to Juneau for the Alaska CloseUp. Its gonna be awesome, there are going to be like 60 other kids there from around the state. Lots of work though and I don't have very much time. But I will take lots of pictures and post them if I can.

I am going to work on my stuff some more so bye :)
