Being an Astronaut.

Do I have the qualifications to be an astronaut?

I definitely don't think I could ever be an astronaut, I love earth too much to leave the mountains, trees, lakes/oceans, my animals, and family! I could never leave them for so long my home sick would start kicking in after a week especially since I would be on a whole different planet.

If I really wanted to be one I could maybe do it, I like hard labor work, and I like learning new thing that could benefit me in the future. But Astronauts have a crazy intense job! I think it would be too intense. I attend to have panic attacks when things start to go wrong, but I paste myself enough to calm down and do what I need to do.

Astronauts also have to be incredibly smart, i'm not dumb but i'm definitely not that kind of smart.
Another qualification I wouldn't have is eating their pasted foods, I love my dad's cooking too much to be away from it. I like eating my hard foods and such, not a big fan of potatoes and if I ran out of ketchup for my potatoes I don't think I would eat anything! I would especially miss my lunches with Chantelle at subway.
And being away from my four animals would be hard for me, because they're my everything my puppy Marsie, my old dog Emma, and my two names Athena&Lucifer!

Flash Story

A Big Dog and A Small Dog

There was this little 5 pound Chihuahua named Emma, she was grown up with a family of 4. She was treated like a little princess, she got all the attention, treats, and all the toys she wanted. Emma was a really good dog! She never chewed anything that didn't belong to her and she never barked. But she did like to get into the garbage and she would make accidents in the house, she also got so excited that when she would hear someone at the door she would scratch and scratch the door.

Years went by and Emma was still the princess of the house, Emma is about 7 years old now and its the middle of October. Two of the family members went on a random road trip? Emma was really curious on where they went and why they just randomly left. 11 hours past and they're finally home! Emma runs to the door all excited to see them but wait!? what are they holding?! Emma is furious she see's that one of them is holding a new PUPPY!!!!! 

As everyone comes outside to see the new puppy all the attention is going to HER! She so much bigger then Emma, bigger paws, head, tail, and body! I heard one of the family members saying she was a bulldog mastiff cross! what even is that? a type of horse? Emma was mad. Emma realized she will have to share everything like her toys, treats, the affection&attention, her bones, the backyard, and lastly her bed!

Unfortunately Emma knew the new puppy "Mars" will be staying forever so she had to help show Mars what was Okay and what wasn't. Emma started to like Mars as well and they're starting to become really close! Emma has never gotten this close with another dog before. But when Mars crosses the line with Emma she snaps so Mars knows not to do it again.

Mars is almost 1 years old now and Emma has accepted the fact that Mars is her new sister. A Chihuahua and her Bulldog Mastiff,.  

My Spring Break…

The first week of my Spring Break my mom, aunty, 3 of my cousins, and myself went to Kamloops in a truck with 6 seats it was a packed car including all of our baggage! No one wanted to throw their stuff in the trunk to we had to squish in.

But unfortunately we had to go to Kamloops for my Aunt's funeral. I got to see all my Kamloops family there’s so many cousins that I couldn't remember I had to re-meet them. Other than the funeral I had a good time seeing all my family they threw kind of a party thing to cheer everyone up and it was fun!

After we got back from Kamloops I had to quickly do laundry and shower and back a suitcase and get my snowboarding stuff ready, because I was leaving to Vancouver island the next morning to go visit my friend that lives in Courtney. My grandpa drove me to the ferry and I walked on with all my stuff, I was so excited to see my friend, I haven't seen her in 3 years.

Once we saw each other we cried and went back to her house, we got tickets to go to mount Washington to go snowboarding. I got the best view ever we went to the very top and got an awesome picture…

I didn't do much after I got home from Courtney besides work but that's all that was exciting for me.

Future Job

As I mentioned in my last post "My Future" I did mention taking steps taking heavy duty coarse's, to become a heavy duty mechanic. I am influenced by my dad, as he is a auto-mechanic and a heavy duty mechanic. Seeing him get to work with all these cool cars, and big trucks, so I asked my dad if he could teach me some stuff on cars. So far he's taught me how to do oil changes, how to change breaks, and stuff like that. And at my school they have auto classes, which I took and had a blast learning in that class. 

But after high school I will be looking into steps to reach my goal, to become a heavy duty mechanic for my future job. 

Future

My Future

 

 

I don't really know what my future will look like, but I hope I persue my dream job and that would be getting into the trades as a heavy duty mechanic. After I graduate high school I plan on taking some coarses to lead me towards my future, dream job.

 

And for the most part I hope to find a nice appartment or something that will allow my two dogs, Emma & Mars. Emmas is a Min Pin Chihuahua, and Mars is a Bulldog Mastiff Cross, and I hope to have a close friend as a roommate.

 

I want to live somewhere close to my parents, because I know they can help me a lot in the future and I probably will need their help quite a lot, as I already do. I also hope to upgrade my car as right now I drive a 2004 Crown Victoria, a Audi would be nice! But im not too picky with my cars, as long as its not broken and it can get me to where I need to go safely.

 

Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express is my favorite comedy/stoner movie, about a drug dealer bonding with one of his customers but they get in trouble and have to help each other out. Of coarse a weed strain called Pineapple Express and its only open to a certain amount of people. 

Soul Surfer

Soul Surfer is one of my favorite movies, it inspires me a lot to go try things I don't think I can do. Its about a girl named Bethany who is trying to become a Professional surfer which is her dream. And as she finally got a promoter, she went to go practice out in the waves for her next competition, as no one expected as she was taking a break watching everyone else whip through the waves. A tiger shark comes up and attacks her. Unfortunately she did loose her arm to the shark, and she lost hope in her dream to become a professional Surfer. Weeks later when she got to leave the hospital and as soon as her stitches came out she got back into the water and tried to surf again. She kept slipping off her board when she tried to get up, but she kept trying and trying, and eventually she got up and pursued her dreams as a professional surfer. 

Paranormal Activity 2

I chose Paranormal Activity 2 because I thought it was a great horror movie, it definitely gave me some chills and got me to jump out of my seat. I do like the series of Paranormal Activity, but the second one did stand out, out of all of them and did scare me the most. But I am also a wuss when it comes to horror movies, even though its my favorite category for movies. I'm not a big fan of the first Paranormal Activity because it didn't seem surreal,
