Up in the Clouds

She gasped with excitement and shouted over the noise of the propeller: "The islands in the clouds are real!!". They landed the plane on the shore of the beach, but were hesitant to exit because of the rumors they heard back home. They did not know what to expect so they made sure they were prepared for anything to come their way. When the got off the plane, Renae and Patrick stayed very quiet. They looked around for people or any type of creatures they might have found. But there was nothing. They were so excited to finally see for themselves that there were actually islands in the clouds. Patrick walked toward the forest that was off of the shore, as Renae followed. After exploring for a little while, they came across a town built on the island. It was so busy and overwhelming for these two. All they saw was a bunch of tiny people moving at the speed of light. It looked like a bunch of toddlers running around, but that wasn't it. He walked up to one of the little men and asked where they were. The man answered him and said they were in a place called "Fair-Air". Patrick and Renae went to explore some more, when they went back to their plane it looked like it was vanishing into the clouds. When they walked towards it they realized the fog from the clouds wasn't normal fog. It was sticky and was sucking the plane off the island. Patrick and Renae tried their hardest to pull it back on the island but then they got sucked in too. And that's the last anyone had ever seen Patrick and Renae...

College Visit - North Central College
Last Friday I missed school and went to Naperville to visit North Central College for a second time. Now, normally once you visit a college once you have idea of if you want to go there or not. But for me, I had to make a more difficult decision based on if I want to play volleyball there or not. So, since they are recruiting me they wanted me to stay overnight with some of the girls on the volleyball team. When I arrived I met with the head and assistant coaches of the team and we talked about my schedule for the day and night. Then, Coach Anna walked me to the first class I was going to attend. The class was called "Drugs and Behaviors" it was so interesting and I enjoyed sitting in on that class. I also go to meet 3 girls from the team that took that class so it was fine. Then after that was done I walked to the next class I was taking with a freshman player. This class was just Intro to Psych. One thing about sitting in on this class was that everyone was very quiet and didn't participate in group discussions. Even though I was not part of the class and was just visiting, I answered more questions than the people actually taking the class... After that we went back to my hosts dorm room and got settled. We then went to "The Cage" to eat dinner, that is the name of one of their dinning halls. After dinner a friend of theirs took us to the mall and we just kinda walked around for a while. When we got home from the mall a few girls and guys came over to Britt and Amanda's room (my hosts). All day they talked about how we were going to go out that night and then we never ended up leaving their dorm, so to me that was pretty boring. Especially coming from a high school where my friends go out EVERY WEEKEND, no matter what. So the night itself didnt really live up to what I expected a "college experience" to be like, which changed my decision on where I want to attend school. It probably will not be at NCC.

Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is a new game that I recently downloaded. The goal of the game is to stay alive as long as you can while flying through these green tubes that look like they were taken out of Super Mario. To make the bird fly you have to tap the screen multiple times to keep it in the air. You need make it get through the opening of the tubes to to get points. The longer you are alive, the more points you score. This game is super addicting. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It is sad to say that this game might have ruined my life.
