Today is Halloween, and my friends and I dressed up as celerbities.
We have a limo business in town, and we asked for a quick ride to school.
Our body guards rode with us and put out our red carpet before exiting the limo.
Almost the whole school was outside watching and taking pictures.
This was the HUGE highlight of my week!!

Hot Chocolate
I love to drink hot chocolate when its colod out.
It has a rich chocolately and soothing taste.
I hate when it burns my tounge and mouth,
but its still worth drinking.

Halloween History
HALLOWEEN-the evening of October 31. The eve of All Saints' Day, Allhallows Eve. Observed especially by children in costumes who solicit treats, often by threatening minor pranks.
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Other western countries started the holiday in the late 20th century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand.
Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats with the question, "Trick or treat?" The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner or his property if no treat is given. Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters.

Secret Life of an American Teenager
Secret Life of an American Teenager is a TV series that consists of a modern teenage life. It teaches lessons of high school and shows what kind of things may happen in any situation. Even though every school has its differences, the students act in the same manner.
In this TV series, they talk about drinking, drugs, and pregnancy. Not all of this may happen at every high school, but its always thought about.
How scary would it be to go to school with everyone knowing your pregant??
I guarantee everyone is going to be afraid.
Why would you do this?? Who is the daddy?? When did it happen?? Was it an accident?? This is what everyone is thinking.
In my point of view, it taught teenagers a better way to act. And how to not get caught up in all the drama and to stay away from things that get you in trouble. I enjoy watching this TV series.

Standardized testing
All standardized testing is trying to find the things students have learned over the year's amount of time. Almost all standardized testing is required.
I think this is a good way to review the materials for the past years. Im not a big fan of spending all the time it takes to prepare and take the tests, but it has a good meaning. A lot of times teachers look at your test scores and that way they know what to expect out of you.
If you ask any random kid in high school what they think about standardized testing, i almost guarantee they will say "its a waste of my time". How do you expect any teenager to like testing. Give us a break, its not our favorite thing to do. We have to understand that it makes an affect on our high school career, which makes an affect on our extended life. Most teens aren't going to understand that or care about this at their age now.

Law and Order: SVU
I love to watch and try to figure out mysteries. When watching Law and Order, I get so into the show that I won't even get out of my seat and no one can talk while the show is on.
When I stop and think about how the worlds acts today, this TV show comes to mind. The world is not a perfect place. Bad things happen, and sometimes they are unstoppable.
Watching people get murdered, kidnapped, raped, or even beat to death isn't why I like this show. I like to help the detictives solve what happened, and who did it. It gets my mind going.
My favorite Law and Order is SVU, because it was the first one I watched. And now that I got to know the characters, I don't like to watch anything else.
