LAKE WINNEPESAUKAH

     We went on a field trip today and it was to LAKE WINNEPESAUKAH!!! LAKE WINNIE WILL MAKE YOU SMILE GET HAPPY! :D

So, the way it was set up was we where to stay on one side of the park when we first arrived and we stayed over there for the first hour. We would go check in with the teacher's at 11:20am so we went to check in with them and we ate lunch. Then, we were free to roam the park as we please and we got to ride all of the rides, because we got a stamp on our hands which was an all access pass. 

So, the first ride I went on was "WILD LIGHTNIN'" Which honestly scared me to death the first time I rode it. When you go on corners it jerks and you get jolted to one side of the cart, it was really intense but I rode it twice. 

I think the next ride I went on to was the Ferris Wheel. I cried while riding it. Okay, the last time I went to an amusement park I was like seven or eight so I don't remember it too well. I have no memory of being afraid of heights at all. So, I was watching the Ferris Wheel go around and around and they went at a decent speed and only went around twice so I thought it wouldn't be too bad. BOY WAS I WRONG. When we first got on I got kind of anxious, but I was like it is okay no need to worry it won't go up too high. I FELT LIKE I WAS FLYING I COULDN'T COPE. IT WAS SO SCARY. We kept stopping, because they would let people off and the put new people on so we went around twice and we kept stopping. When we got down to the bottom I thought it was over. NOPE. WE WENT AROUND FOUR MORE TIMES MODERATELY FAST. IT WAS SO SCARY AND THEN IT LIKE JERKED AND WE WERE AT THE TOP AND I WAS FREAKING OUT IT WAS TERRIFYING. Movies romanticize Ferris Wheels so I thought it would be too bad. I will never ride a Ferris Wheel again. 

RIDE OF HELL. 

Next up was the Tilt-A-Whirl!! I loved this ride so much. This was my favorite ride in the whole park. Sadly I didn't get a picture of it as I was really excited for it. :D

I want to talk about the Genie for a minute. It honestly looked so terryifing. I did not ride it. I thought I would fall out or something.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Then, I rode the Alpine Way? I think that was the name of it. I was so scared I didn't take any picture while I was on it, because I was so scared. It went over the water and I can't swim so I thought I would die. My friend that I was riding it with hit the bar and it slightly raised up and I had a heart attack. There were little kids riding all alone!! HOW? WHY? They weren't even scared. PEOPLE WERE KICKING THEIR FEET AND IT SWEAR I ALMOST THREW UP. EVERY TIME THE PERSON I WAS SITTING WITH EVEN MOVED I ALMOST DIED. I also cried on this ride too..... apparently I don't do heights.

Shout out to one of my friends for this picture. You know who you are. 

Then, I got funnel cake and it was delicious. This isn't really a big deal, but I thought you should know it was delicious.

          

        Wacky Factory was the next ride and it wasn't really scary or anything. You got on these cars and went in a dark house and there were a bunch bright lights. There was a really big clown above the exit and its eyes lit up and scared my friend to death.

      Also, rode the Merry-Go-Round, but I didn't get a picture of it either. It wasn't as fun as I remember it being when I was younger. I wouldn't ride the OH-ZONE, because I was terrified. That is all I am saying about that, because my friends wanted me to ride it.

This isn't everything that I did, but these were the main parts. Hope you enjoyed it. 

Nerdfighteria and a crush??

         I really hope no one I know in real life sees this post, but if they do I have like a week of school left so who cares. First, I am going to talk about Nerdfighters so yep. I have been in the group on facebook (yes I use facebook don't judge me) called Nerdfighteria and it is literally the best thing ever. It is such a great group of people who are so amazing. I posted asking for help with anxiety and panic attacks and everyone in the community posted tips and it was so nice to know that I am not alone in this. They really helped me and I love the conversations we have on there. We are all so supportive, obviously people disagree but what do you expect? We are all human. I do think it is easily one of the best groups of people I have met. Nerdfighters are amazing and if you do not know who Nerdfighters are  in layman's terms they are fans of the Vlogbrothers.

         Now on to the crush, ugh. So, there is a boy who will not be named, because if anyone ever found out except for my close friends I would probably cry. I sit next to him in one of my classes and I didn't think I like him I tried so hard not to like him, because I don't handle emotions well. I didn't win that battle, I ended up liking him. The thing about me "liking" or "fancying" someone is I don't normally get crushes. BUT OH NO HE HAD TO BE DIFFICULT. ALSO, He is a nerdfighter. We get along so well and we laugh and I found out he was a nerdfighter, because I did the hand sign and he was like, "DFTBA" I almost cried. So, I like him and it is honestly really sad because I don't know if he likes me or not and my friend is like, "He acts like he does but I am not sure and blah blah" so she is not helpful. I just don't know if I should tell him or not? I ugh I don't want to admit to this but I tried to tell him that I liked him and I freaked out and I started to tear up. I asked the teacher if I could go to the restroom...  I stayed in there for 6-10 minutes. *sigh*Congrats to me for being incredibly awkward. If anyone has any advice for me leave it in the comments or tweet me @AliciaRawks12. Love you guys and DFTBA :)

My Weekly Parchment

         Every Monday for the past couple of weeks I have written my grandparents a letter using my ink well and feather on parchment paper. They told me it meant more to them than just giving them a quick phone call that lasts 5 minutes once a week, because have you ever written a letter using a quill? It is terribly difficult. I don't understand how James Madison wrote the Constitution of the United States of America like that. I wrote one paragraph and it was so difficult to do!
           I have ink stains all over my hands. I am so glad I am not a leftie I would die. All of the ink on that paper would have smeared and all my hard work would have been killed. ALL OF IT DEAD. Do you know how upsetting that would be? At least I am not part of the 10% of people in the world who would have to like hold their hand uncomfortably to try not to smug the ink. My heart goes out to all lefties everywhere. 
          Sorry I got a bit off track back to what I was saying, "The Weekly Parchment" is what I label to return address as on my grandparent's letters that I send them and I really enjoy sitting down and writing letters. Even though my handwriting isn't too beautiful especially when writing with the quill I am slowly improving which is nice. I was writing earlier and I just wanted to like throw the quill across the paper, because INK SPOTS EVERYWHERE. It killed me. So bad. so bad. so bad. so bad....
          Everytime I write a letter I lay out paper on the table like you would do when painting, because if I don't I will stain the surface I am writing on.... not like that has happened to me before or anything... *coughs*. 
          I do genuinely enjoy writing letters to people more than texting them or giving them a phone call, because it feels more important. Someone sat down for 20 or 30 minutes to write to you, I just personally wish it would come back. I think it would be great if people started writing letters to people weekly. If you read this try to start writing letters. That doesn't mean never text or call someone obviously, what I mean is if you want to call someone just to check in write them and tell them in the letter to write you back. Trust me there is nothing like the anticipation of waiting for a letter to be delivered to you.  

New Hobby - Photography

     I have decided to take up a new hobby......Photography! You probably knew that by the title, but I still felt it necessary to mention. I have had a camera for a while, but I recently thought about taking actual professional pictures. So, here they are....

    I hope you like them! I will be posting a Photography blogpost once a week of the pictures I have taken these are the pictures for this week.

Reasons to LOVE yourself

     I haven't been happy for a while now and I was talking to my mom today when we went to visit her at the hospital and she told me to make a list of all of the reasons I like myself. I asked her what if I can't find any and she told me, "You will always truly love yourself but society has covered you in this shell of mean words that you have to break through to find who you truly are and what truly defines you." If you don't love yourself make a list of every little thing you can think of that makes you smile about yourself. This is my list.

1.  I really like the way my eyes look. I don't know why but if I ever take a picture there is a 99.99% my eyes look nice.
 It looks like I have no nose, because of the filter I used. I do have a nose I am not Voldemort I swear.
2. I like being considered an introvert.  Less than 30% of the people in America are Introverted and it makes me feel special. Being introverted also means I need to time to be alone and recharge and that means I am comfortable being alone.
3. I like that I am considered a "smart kid" by my peers.      
   4. I genuinely think I have a good taste music. Music is an opinion and a personal taste that is why I like mine so much.
      5. How much I love Science. I genuinely love science. Astrophysics particularly I find space fascinating. Science has a place in my heart because it can always tell me why. Any question I ask there is always an answer for it. If I ever ask my dad a question and I ask why and he doesn't want to tell me he will tell me, "because I said so" and I absolutely hate it, but Science can always tell me why
.
This is a short list but I couldn't think of much but I will make more
of these in the future.
