I'm choosing to describe number 1 the scent of Christmas. When it hits December my mom starts to take out all of our Christmas and begins to get into the spirit of the holidays. The scent of Christmas in my home is a mixture of cinnamon , pine tree and happiness. I find that my household has a very positive atmosphere around the holidays. I'm not sure what it is but it always brings out the best in people. I always know its December 1st when my mom makes her gingerbread cookies. Its tradition in our household. I'm pretty sure that its her goal to make the house smell that good every day until the new year. I love the scent of the pine tree we always get . My parents refuse to get a fake tree they say that 'if its a fake tree it mine as well be a fake Christmas too'. In my house the smell of Christmas is my favourite part of the year.

Review

For my review i chose to do the television series 'One Tree Hill'. So far there are 6 seasons and the 7th is been broad casted on t.v weekly. I have personally been following the show for the past 6 years and have found myself to like it very much. Being that it starts off as the cast being separated by cliques and than bonding and joining together while coming over many other obstacles. There is always something new happening on One Tree Hill. So far I haven't come across an episode that I haven't been intrigues by. From cheating on boyfriends to ex-best friends to school shootings and deaths of parents One Tree Hill is constantly keeping viewers on edge.

How I Felt When I was Lied too.

Recently I have been lied too from someone whom I believed was a friend. Long story short she thought someone from my past who hurt me was more important than a project at school we had that day. For the past while I have had my friends straightened out. I know who to trust who not to tell secrets too and who will always have my back no matter the circumstances. So when I found out that this certain someone bailed on me basically making me look irresponsible to my teacher and still felt healthy enough to go out that night I was very angry. She was sneaking around and there is nothing that i hate more. I am a very upfront person and its one of the most stressful things for me to have someone you think you can trust break that trust. Currently I am trying to just put it behind me , her loss right? But it's not that easy I am still really upset and less angry but still shocked that she would do something like that. I'm trying to be the bigger person and be gracious and not make a big deal out of anything but the feeling of being back stabbed is still there.

Top Three Places I've Been

Ive been to quite a few places in my short sixteen years of life but if i had to choose my top three personal choices I'd have to go with Grand Cayman , Whiterock and Florida. I choose each of these places for a variety of reasons such as scenery , atmosphere and how much fun I had.

I went to Grand Cayman last March break. It most definitely has been the most beautiful place i have ever been. The white sand and bright turquoise Caribbean water is breath taking. I am a summer fan for sure and being there felt like the best kind of summer in the world.

My second choice is pretty close to home surprisingly I chose Whiterock B.C for a few specific reasons. My grandparents live there and they are my favourites of the family . They are super free spirited and layed back my grandpa owns a restaurant right across from the best part of Whiterock , the pier. I love my grandpas restaurant its very 'Mexico like' and he always lets me help out when I'm there. Now for my favourite part the pier in Whiterock is amazing Its probably the only place that I feel at a complete calm. Something about how peaceful it is at night or early in the morning just watching the tide come in and go out is very relaxing.

Lastly , I chose Florida probably because its the most fun place I've been . Florida just has this party all day atmosphere and i love it. I understand why they call it the sunshine state for sure everyone seems really happy and its always the most beautiful weather. Not to mention the shopping there is fantastic! There is tons of outlets and so many things to see. My family had so much fun when we went there last March break i cant wait to go back this year.

If I could have any super power...

If I had the opportunity to have any super power it would be to have the ability to read minds. I choose this power because than i would know what everyone was thinking at all times. I could know if a friend were a true friend or actually a foe or if my parents truly trusted me.Maybe I could pursue a career in criminology and help understand the mind of a criminal and help solve cases. For fun I would go on a game show because i would know all the answers due to my psychic abilities. Yes mind reading would definatley be the super power for me.
