Driving in Scotland

"Daddy why won't you be driving us around in Scotland?"

"Well, because you drive on the left hand side, so everything is reversed!"

"Oh Yeah, I forgot!"

We were sitting in a taxi on the way to our hotel. Everything looked so different. And I admit, later on in the trip I nearly got ran over by a car, because I was looking the wrong way.

"Why do they drive on this side?" I asked

"I think there is a historic aspect to that. I am not sure, but I think the reason is so that the men would be able to shake each other's right hand while directing the coaches."

"Oh. That makes sense. But still, I wouldn't be able to drive like this!"

Jingle !Jingle!

These are all of the jingles that I can list in 1 minute.

1. Like a good neighbor state farm is there.
2. Nationwide is on your side.
3. I'm lovin' it.
4. Great deals, great prices.
5. Let's get ets.
6. Do you have a Beaumont doctor?

Those are all of the jingles that I could remember off of the top of my head. It's sort of hard to remember all of those jingle when you are under a presageful time constraint. Because, right now, I could probably remember way more.

Spring!

Spring has sprung,
and songs must be sung.

The young birds are here,
and so are the deer.

There is a new breeze,
and we see the trees.

New life is born,
and there shall be no scorn.

Everywhere is new life,
I do not play the fife!

Running to Starbucks

Tomorrow morning I am running from school to Starbucks for the track team! I am so excited to do that. Because: 1) I love long distance running, and 2) once you run there you get a reward of your favorite drink! But, then I have to run back… with a Starbucks frap in my hand! 

I am going to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks!

I am so excited! I am because I knew that I was going to Yosemite… but now I found out that I am going to sequoia national park, too! I cannot wait to go there. I really want to see the towering trees of sequoia and the breath taking valleys of Yosemite. Specifically my family is going on a hiking trip there, soooooooo, that means I will get to see even more beautiful sights. AKA going off of the main road usually has better sights! I am looking forward to this trip!

The DIA

Over the weekend I went to the DIA with Shin Be.

"Now this is art!" I exclaimed as we walked into a gallery filled with artwork of beautiful nature landscapes. The whole room was filled with oceans and sunsets and trees. It was truly a breathtaking sight, but I do like the actual landscapes more.

"Look at these sculptures." Shin Be said.

"Oh… interesting."

"I would want these in my house. Ooh La la!"

"Cool!"

We strode among gallantly hanging photos and more!

Modern Art vs. Old Art

I love most modern art, but some of it is just a complete "NO". Many people picture modern art as different things. Some people think it is one of Andy Warhol's can drawing, abstract sculptures or just a series of shapes. I like about half of the modern art that I see. I went to the DIA over the weekend and there was this one piece of art that was literally 3 squares drawn on a canvas! I felt like my 7 year old sister could draw something better than that. Another one of the art pieces was some neon green paint spilled on a canvas and then the center was all stabbed out! I mean seriously, it was interesting to look at, but I don't know if the artist spent a lot of time on it. What really is art is old European oil canvas drawings, that art shows a moral in it. And that really reflects how much time and skill the artist put into it.
