Cinnamaldehyde!

In chem we are doing a molecule project/ molecule web page and I'm sort of excited! For my molecule I chose Cinnamaldehyde. I chose it because it reminded me of cinnamon, and who doesn't love cinnamon! And while I was learning more about it, I found out that it gives cinnamon its flavor and coloring. I think that is really interesting because cinnamon is such a common household product, it was cool that other things were involed with making it delicious! I know that this project is not going to be sooooooo bad because I'm pretty interested in my topic. I don't want to sound like a nerd, but this project might be one of the most interesting. Not actually doing the project because it just adds to my homework list, but because Cinnamaldehyde is pretty cool.

Thank Goodness for HOLIDAYS!

Holidays are so wonderful. Especially when it's a week day because people get off of school and work, and it gives us an extra day to do whatever we want and not have to think about getting any work done, or taking any tests. Holidays can sometimes really take the pressure off my shoulders. I'm so happy to say that there is a holiday next Wednesday, Veteran's Day! There is also the Thanksgiving holiday coming up soon. That is really great because so far, it's been strictly school.school.school. But now we can actually relax more, especially from all of those piles of homework every night and those long tests that seem to be endless! I'm really looking foward to holidays, just hanging out with my family and celebrating Thanksgiving. I'm also looking foward to Christmas Vacation. It may seem like a long while away, but time really does fly very quickly. I'm just relieved that there will be less pressure to come, and more time to catch up on my sleep. Not only that, but Holidays are usualy very fun. It's time to spend with your family and friends and just have great times that will always be remembered. I'm pretty big on memories, so whenever there is a chance to make a good memory, I'm usually always up for it.

Halloween: Time For Fun and HAUNT!

Well, this weekend was Halloween! The only reason why I like Halloween is because of the delicious candy. But, I didn't getting candy this year! Insted I went to Great America for the Haloween Huant Fest. Halloween just happens to be my cousin's birthday, so we celebrated it at Great America. I was super excited because I love Great America! I always have the time of my life there, and the rollar coaster rides are the best. I was really nervous though because as much as I like Great America, I have never been to the Halloween Haunt Fest. I have only heard about it, but I still had no idea what I was exprecting. Once it started, it was really creepy at first, but it turned out to be fun. All of the workers got really into the whole Halloween theme and it was very impressive. I got scarred a couple of times and all of the rides were great. So, I had a lot of fun, definately something that will be remembered. This weekend I did have "the best day ever at Paramount's Great America."
