PHEW...

Finally! Thanksgiving break is HERE! Well, not offically, I have to go half day tomorrow for Grandparents day.

I haven't posted in a while, so this is going to be pretty long.

Last weekend I went to the GSUSA 52nd national convention, which was also celebrating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts! I was choosen to go from GSSJC, which is my Girl Scout Council. I had to skip two days of school, but it was well worth it, as we stayed in the Hilton and got Starbucks everyday! Whoohoo! :)

We took sessions ranging from personalities, to robotics, to leadership, to college application, and the like. Everything was very enjoyable and I learned alot. But best of all was the exhibit hall, where all the vendors would set up the stations and tell you about whatever it is that they do.

I met so many interesting people, including one group of Girl Scouts from New York. We were sitting at the same table during lunch, and happened to start talking. They said I had a southern accent and asked where I was from. I told them I was from Texas, and they gasped.

One of them giggled and asked me to do 'the cowboy call.' At first I was very confused. What is a 'cowboy call?' Then it hit me.

So, ratherly loudly I said, 'YEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAWWWWW! HOWDY Y'ALL,' and they cracked up laughing! In my opinion, I DO NOT have a southern accent.

The convention was great! I met tons of new people, heard some AMAZING speeches, and took some pics with some really cool people! Some of the keynote speakers were Robin Roberts, Vernice 'Flygirl' Armour, Katie Couric, and Mo ( Can't spell her real name so I put her nickname) Coleman, from high school muiscal.

This past weekend my bro had a basketball tournment, and I had the Mariner Boat Parade work weekend. Both the girls and the boys teams won all of their games on Thursday, but lost both on Saturday :(

My Mariner friends and I glued lights, and cut paper and chicken wire, and duct taped ourselves to heck this entire weekend. But the boat decorations look really good!

All in all I've had a busy few weeks, tomorrow is G-parents day so we won't be doing much in school. Afterwards were going to have lunch and see Tower Heist. Just looked up the trailer a minute ago, it looks HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
