Prey

Josh and I met up today to get started on our presentation on Prey.  Before we met up I was skeptical of thinking of a way to present the book in an interesting, original way.  We decided we would make a powerpoint that consisted of a picture on each slide.  We imagined it like a comic strip, but instead it depicted the novel.  I am very excited to see how it turns out and see what the others think of our creation. 

I am also glad I chose to read Prey, because it correlates with what I am literally learning in biology right now.  Predator-prey interaction, evolution and more are all a part of the story.  I hope you like our presentation even though you have seen this story too many times!

Taylor Swift

I went to a Taylor Swift concert last spring. It was my first concert! Well, techinically my second...but the fair doesn't count.  I am a very big Taylor Swift fan.  My boyfriend, Jake, gave me her first two cd's for Christmas three Christmases ago.  Every since then I have been hooked.  I had to burn new copies of each cd, because I played them too often in my car.  Now those skip too.  I have not gotten her new album "Speak Now" but I reallllly hope I get it this Christmas! That would be AWESOME!

My mom surprised me with two Taylor Swift tickets the weekend after the Drake Relays. :) It was my parents gift, as they say it, to support all my hard work.  I was so excited! I decided to bring one of my best friends Becca.  The concert was amazing.  Taylor is very dramatic and did things like fling her long hair everywhere and bang on drums with all her might.  She sang on stage and in the crowd.  It was very surprising! I am so glad I was able to experience all of it with Becca. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Tangled

Last night my friends and I saw the movie Tangled in 3D for only $3.00! It was an event put on by ETK.  Tangled is one of my new favorite Disney movies. It is the story of Repunzel with a new twist.  Repunzel has magic hair that heals and turns back time, so she was kidnapped at birth.  She grows up in a tower away from civilization with only one contact; her "mother". Repunzel was kidnapped right after birth so she is unaware that she is being tricked and used.  It is a very funny movie.  The whole theater was laughing throughout the movie! I would definitely recommend you see this movie if you have the chance.  This is why I did not tell you how it ends or even more bits and pieces of the film. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did:)
