Braces and New York

It has been a very busky week for me. Monday we had no school so it wasn't to terribly busy I just did some homework and hung out around the house. Tuesday I had school and Girl Scouts at my house. Wednesday I had school and Band practice. Thursday is when it started to get really busy. Thursday afternoon right after school I had to go get braces. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be I mean of course it still hurts but not as bad as everyone was making it sound. Here's what I look like now with my Braces.

On Friday I had school and then my friend invited me to go to the football game with her. it was a playoff game for my high school team (Go Bulldogs!) and we won! I didn't get home till 11:30 because my friend's mom forgot she had to pick us up. On Saturday I went to New York City! I had to wake up at 4am but it was totally worth it. I went with my best friend Holly and we took a charter bus. On the bus I got to watch Brave (great movie by the way) and it only took us 5 hours to get there. We spent most of our day in Times Square. We went to Toys R Us and rode the Ferris Wheel that was INSIDE the store! We also went to Forever 21. It was 4 floors of clothes!! We also went to the Hershey Store and M&M World. Every store in times square had at least two floors and an escalator. For lunch we went to my favorite place in the world Olive Garden! Except it cost 2x more than it usually does! Oh New York prices. Throughout the day we went to Starbucks at least 4 times because we both had less than 5 hours of sleep. The best part though was that people rent costumes and stood in the street and took pictures with people and then would ask for tips. My friend and I couldn't stop laughing there was at least 20 people dressed as Elmo. Some of the costumes were extremely creepy looking though. Here are some pictures from my trip.

HARRY POTTER LEGO'S!!!

More Lego's!

Toys R Us Ferris Wheel Ticket 

Here are some pictures from Times Square. There's also the Orange Juice bottle I got at Starbucks. It was made our of Happiness and Double Rainbows! I couldn't stop laughing when saw it.

Hope everyone had an amazing week!

Homecoming and More.

Let me start off this post by saying...I AM SO SORRY! I have totally forgotten to post! I'm such a bad blogger! If you're still reading my blog THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU! I didn't realize how much homework you had in High School. Ughhh sooo much!! I'm going to explode! I actually still have some to do but oh well sometimes blogging is more important.

Last post I promised some pictures from Homecoming so here they are!

 Here are all the girls! Just so everyone knows it was freezing outside and all the parents instead on taking hundreds of pictures...

 We finally complained enough so they let us go inside...here's the whole group!

 That's me :) You can't really see my full dress though :/

Here's me and Silas. He came with me as a friend :).

 

There's alot more pictures but I don't want to put to many on.

 

***UPDATE ON MY LIFE***

At the moment everyone, including my family, is getting ready for this huge storm that's supposed to hit tonight or tomorrow. My family went out yesterday and bought water and food, hopefully our power doesn't go out, and today my mom took me and my sister to the library so we would have plenty to do if school got canceled. I'm really hoping they cancel school because i have two huge tests this week and it would be nice to have a little more time to study.

 

That's all for now but I promise I will post at least once a week from now on!

Falling in to Fall

It is finally starting to feel like fall. I love fall. I love the leaves and that I get to wear hoodies. I love just bringing a book outside and sitting under the tree in my front yard and reading. This year fall also comes with high school football games and homecoming. :)

 

I'm finally used to high school. I'm used to the crowded hall ways and the cranky teachers. I'm getting there with the crazy amounts of homework, that might take a little while longer though. I'm done with all the drama finally and have made a ton of new friends. I can cross that off my list now. I'm feeling much better about overall life now.

 

Last week I got my first smart phone. I feel so special. It's an Android 4 and it's so awesome I love it. I also got an instagram so if you have one and would like me to follow you just leave your user name in the comments below. :)

 

Yesterday I went shopping and got my dress for homecoming! I can't wait for homecoming! I'm going with my best guy friend Silas so it should be fun. I got a black dress and heels. :o They're my first pair of heels so I'm going to have to practice walking in them so I don't trip more than usual.

Here's a picture of my dress.

 



 I really like the way the mirrors look in the background so you can see the back of my dress too. You can also see my domo socks xD.

 

Hope everyone has a great week and survived Monday. :D

New Year~New Goals

So countdown begins, I'm less than a week away from school. I guess that means no more long summer days of just being lazy. No more traveling or hanging out with friends whenever I want to. No more sleeping in :(, that's the worst one of all. But it's time to face the facts. I have to go back to school. I have to, there's no going around it. I need to get over it and get out of the house, that's pretty much all I've done for the past week is stay in the house, and do something. So I have decided to make myself a list of goals for this year. I'm going to tape it by my bed and every time I do one of them I'll cross it out.

List of Goals for the 2012~2013 School Year 

 

Try out for a sport

Make new friends

Be more athletic

Get in shape

Get more sleep

Be a better morning person

Write more

Pay attention in class

Gets honer roll all year (A's and B's)

Practice music more

 

 

All of these might not get done and I might add more, I guess it just depends on how the year goes. For my sport I'm thinking of trying out for crew(I just need to find someone to try out with me). Making new friends should be the easiest thing on the list. Being a better morning person should be the hardest.

 

I'm pretty much ready for the school year. I got a backpack off of Ebay and it looks like this.....

 

 

 



I still need to get my school supplies but we don't get the list until the first day. Freshmen orientation is on Thursday so I'm hoping I'll feel better after I go to that. They're giving us a tour of the school and our classes, yay! I also get to see my friends. :)

 

To end this post I'm going to share something I found on tumblr. I know, I know I have a Tumblr problem.

 

Back to school (Avengers addition)

Waking up:

Walking in school:

Seeing all your friends:

Seeing all your enemies:

Seeing whose in your homeroom:

Lunch:

Hearing about the new hot kid:

Sitting through all your classes:

Dealing with everyone for the rest of the year:

 

Yep that's pretty much how I feel. Only on Tumblr. Hope everyone has a great last week of summer and if your already in school just think of it this way. You get out of school sooner.

Banana Lime Smothies

I'm going to try something I've never done. A recipe post. If you like it, and want me to do more, please comment below.

Today I made a smoothie out of just random stuff around my house. I found some bananas and limeade in the fridge, I also added vanilla yogurt.  It was really simple to make and it turned out to be really good.

 

You take two banana's and put them in the blender. Then you add two cups of vanilla yogurt. Lastly you add a bit of lime. (I used limeade but you could add anything citrus in it's place and I'm sure it would taste fine.) Then you just blend it all together. That's pretty much it, like I said simple.

 

Here's how it turned out!

 

I hope everyone can try it! Have any of you made really good smothies before?

 

Until next time!

I'm back for good!

That's right people no more vacations for Caroline this summer, cause sadly school is less than a month away for me. :( Oh well I had a really good summer and still have tons of stuff planed for this month. I'm going to an amusement park with my friends, more pool, and to my Uncle's wedding. Should be a good month.

While I've been gone I've been trying to read as much as possible. I read
 Darkness Falls By Cate Tiernan
Legend By Marie Lu
I am Number Four: The Lost Files: Nine's Legacy By Pittacus Lore
and I finally finished Inheritance! Inheritance By Christopher Paolini

I got lots of reading done! I also saw the new Batman movie. Review coming soon for that! I might also do a review for one of these books above. Which one do you think I should review? Comment below.

Now here are some pictures from Disney World. My friend and I took way to many pictures. She took over 2,000 and I took over 200. So I picked out 10 pictures out of my 200 to share.

 The first day we were there we went to Epcot. Here is the Epcot ball the most popular thing there. It's also a ride.

 Here are the mouse ears I got while I was in animal kingdom. I love them so much. :)

 Here are Tayler's mouse ears.

 Here is a wall of Perry the Platypus stuffed animals. Tayler got one that made noise, that got annoying really fast.

Phineas and Ferb made out of grass at Epcot.

I got to have breakfast with the Princesses and other characters. That was really fun. 

I got to have dinner at Cinderella's castle. It was really fun and cute cause all of the little girls that were there were beyond happy to see the princesses.

I got to have breakfast with Mickey and Friends too!

I saw a green army man outside of toy story mania at Hollywood Studios.

Me and Tayler rode this ride twice. Once during the day and once at night. Night was soo fun cause they brought you up to the very very top instead of the middle like they do during the day.

Lego dogs I saw outside a store. I thought they were like the coolest thing.

I found the awesomest panda umbrella outside of a store in Epcot. I was going to get it but it was $40. Which was most of the money I brought for souvenirs. :(

This is what you saw when you entered or left Hollywood Studios.

To end this post I'm going to share this week's song of the week.  Modest Mouse - Float On



Now I'm going to go be a lazy person and get into my sweats and sweatshirt and go catch up on the t.v I missed.

Busy Bee

Hello my lovely followers! I'm sorry I meant to post earlier this week but I've been so busy. Sunday night was the Foster the People concert. Monday was an award ceremony thing for school. Tuesday was another thing for school. Wednesday was band practice (My band has there first gig on Friday so nervous :)). Thursday was the school dance(Fun night I got flowers and everything) and last night was my very late birthday/end of the year party. So yes very busy and to top it off I've been fighting a cold all week and it finally caught up with me today. So I got to spend my first day of summer sick. Oh well I caught up on sleep. Anyways this post is going to be full of pictures.
The first ones are of the Foster the People Concert. My friend and I got a little excited and I took about a 100 pictures so I'm only going to post my favorites.

This is my best friend Rihaana. She's who I went to the concert with and these are the shirts we got. I love them soo much!

I love love love this picture! He is such a talented drummer!

There was this cool face that kept changing throughout the whole concert. It smiled, winked, frowned, laughed, and alot other faces. It was awesome.

Here he is singing.

Here's the whole band walking off stage.

Next here are some pictures from my award ceremony, dance, and other things that happened this week. My friend Tayler took about 300 pictures of all of us this week since were all going to different schools next year.

This is Me, Scott, Josh, Rihaana, and Tayler at the award ceremony thing on Monday.

This is Me, Brittany, and Tayler on the last day of school. Love this picture.

 Me and Rihaana before the dance. Both of our mom's wanted pictures. They took way to many it took forever.

Me and Scott were slow dancing and everyone decided to take pictures. I still like this picture even though I look like crap.

I love my face in this picture every time I look at it I laugh. I was sick and brought Gatorade to school and Josh was thirsty and decided to take it and I told him find go ahead and get sick. So that's why I made the weird face.

I'm sorry I put up so many pictures and thank you if you actually read this whole post. I promise the next post will be more interesting.

Until the pig flys.
