This weekend had a lot of fun times and i did plenty of things to keep me occupied. First, at school on Friday, i had gone to the training room after school and helped Doc out with wrapping people's ankles and wrists and giving them treatment while i was waiting for my ride. Then Alyssa and I decided that it would be fun to go to the movies, so i had gone home to get ready for the movies. But Alyssa told me to invite Jordan, he's a sophomore, and we have been talking for quite some time now, so i invited him to the movies with Alyssa and i to watch "The Last Song." But i had to wait for him to answer me back to tell me if he could go or not because he was having company over. So while i was waiting for him to tell me if he could go or not, i was straightening my hair and doing my make up. So after i was done with that, he texted me telling me that he couldn't go because his company was already over. So it was girls night and we were going to make the best of it.

So when we got to the movies, we went to the ticket booth to pay for "The Last Song", it would be Alyssa's second time to see it already. Then we got into the theater and enjoyed the movie. It is definitely not what people except, everyone thinks that it is a chick flick, and although it is, it has a little twist to it where you may even shed a couple tears. It was really a good movie and then while we were waiting for Alyssa's mom to come pick us up, we decided to waste a little bit of time, we went into K Mart. It was a lot of fun going into K Mart at 9:30 at night. We started throwing footballs around and started dancing with the singing fish! "Give me that fillet fish, give me that fish", it was so funny and we started singing along. Then her mom called and we left and they took me home.

On Saturday, i did basically nothing. I had to do homework for my academy classes so i got started on that and then i watched the new "16 and pregnant" and that was a really good show. Then i texted basically the rest of the day with Jordan, we talked about everything and how we've been friends since the 7Th grade and that its time to start "talking." So my Saturday was not half bad and it actually got better as the night went on. My dad took me out to get some food. We got the yummy Chinese food. Then after eating, i decided to hit the hay.

On Sunday, that was the best out day of my whole weekend. I first got up and just laid around. Then around dinner time, my family came in from Massachusetts and we had a family dinner. It is so fun to talk to them because they have their accents and its really funny to listen to them talk. Then after we were done eating we played the wii for a little bit and then we went to go stay with my other Aunt. Then at around 8, i watched the CMA Awards and it was really good, I'm glad Carrie Underwood one best artist of the year. Then i went to bed. Then i woke up on Monday to come to school and did my work and now its Tuesday and I'm doing my blog.

The article "Martina Navratilova Has Breast Cancer" is about a famous tennis player who has just found out that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The tennis player is a legend and the breast cancer was found early prognosis has said to be excellent. Navratilova had the biopsy in February and it came as a big shock to her, that someone like herself can get breast cancer. The mammogram came back positive for a cluster in her left breast. She was diagnosed with a noninvasive form of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma. In Martina's Navratilova's case, was confined to the milk ducts and had not spread to the breast tissue. Navratilova had a lumpectomy and will begin six weeks of radiation therapy in May. Although, she still has breast cancer and doesn't get regular check ups, she still plays tennis and ice hockey.

I chose this article in particular because it really hits home with me. My Aunt has breast cancer and my grandfather also had lung cancer. Cancer is a very scary thing to go through, and it is always better to go through it with someone that you know can be there. The article really brought back some memories and that's why i chose the article. My Aunt is still fighting for her life through radiation therapy and unfortunately my grandfather did not make it through it. So this article about Martina Navratilova really shows that anyone can go through it, and although its tough, you can still do things that make you happy. So, this article really brings back memories, so that's why i chose it.

I believe this article will be interesting to others because not only is it something that everyone should be aware about but also to show that you can get through something like this. Martina Navratilova is a famous tennis player and although she got diagnosed with breast cancer, she still lives her dream of playing tennis and ice hockey. When you go through something as tough as this, its always best to have something in your comfort zone and that's why Navratilova still played tennis.

What others should learn or know after reading this article is that breast cancer is very scary thing to go through, even people like Martina Navratilova go through it. People need to be aware of breast cancer and know about it so that way the world is more educated about it so that way everyone is able to be each others back bone. It is very important for people to know about cancer, it is just something that the world should be aware of and know the slightest thing about.

Over Spring Break, i did many things that i enjoy doing. First off, Friday night Alyssa and I went over to Stephanie's and watched the Twilight series. But only Twilight and New Moon are out so we had a movie night with junk food. We ate salt n vinegar chips, cookies and chex mix. We stayed over Stephanie's house until midnight and then i went home. On Saturday my sister and I went on over to Carla's house, a person that my sister works with. We had gone horseback riding on one of her horses for about 2 hours.n We learned how to get them to obey commands and fun stuff like that. On Sunday, my mom and sister had to work, so my dad and I had gone out to Wal Mart and went grocery shopping because my cousin was coming Monday. Then we went out to lunch. We had gone out to Texas Roadhouse, which is a fairly new restaurant and we loved it. I got chicken fingers with a Cesar salad. It was really good, then we had gone home and i watched the Full House series all day.

On Monday, my cousin was coming down from my hometown, Miami. I couldn't wait for her to get to my house because we had so many things planned to do together. But as usual, she was running late so i had to wait until she got to my House. she left her house at around 3pm and got to my house at like 7pm. When she finally got to my house, it was already too late to go something, so we had to wait until the next day.

On Tuesday, my Aunt, cousin, me, my mom and my sister had gone out to lunch to meet my sisters fiance for lunch because he was on his lunch break. So we had gone to Chik Fil A. We had a lot of fun and then we went to go shop. We had gone to Bealls. We were in Bealls at 2pm till 5pm. We spent a lot of time at Bealls. I had gotten myself a Guy Harvey shirt. I got a hot pink one and it was a girls fit instead of getting the men's. Then we had gone back home and spent the rest of the setting myself up with a Face book.

On Wednesday, we finally made it to the beach! Of course, we didn't leave until 1:30pm because my aunt is so slow moving and can never get on the roll. So we made it to the beach at around 2:15 pm and spent the day just laying out in the sun and relaxing because we all needed it. Then we started to get hungry, so we went to Breakers. It is a seafood place right on the beach and i got fried clams. It is so yummy! Then at about 6pm we decided that we got enough sun and that it was time to leave.

On Thursday, we had gone out to meet our aunts and uncles at their beach house and go out on the boat and fish. Of course, i didn't catch anything but we still had a lot of fun. Then we decided that it would be fun to go kayaking. So we went on the 2 person kayak and it was really scary because we on his lake with gators and what not. Then my uncle Jason caught an eel and then i decided that was enough kayaking for me. Then we all went out to eat at PJ's, which is also a seafood place but i got a buffalo chicken wrap. Everyone else got seafood, but it was so good.

On Friday, we meet my sisters fiance's family at the beach. It was so much fun because he has little brothers and sisters and it was a lot of fun to play with them in the water. Their names are Bri, Tommy and Lizzie. They are so adorable and so funny. We had gone into the beach water and played volleyball, which was so much fun. Then we got hungry, so i made myself a turkey sandwich with some cheez its. Then they had to leave because the little kids cant get too much sun, they we left like 3 hours after they had.

On Saturday, it was time for my cousin to leave because Spring Break was almost over. We had once again meet my sisters fiance at Chilli's for lunch. I had gotten a chicken Cesar salad. Then we had to go back home because they needed to go back home because they needed to pack and get on the road. Then after they left Sunday came along. It was Easter! We all colored eggs and had a big dinner with all of our family over. It was a really good day.

Now, its Monday and we back at school sitting here writing this blog. I wish it was still Spring Break but its not and we have school. I had myself a great Spring Break and now its over. Now i have to do the virtual business paper.
