Mini-Winter Break!

Today was the first day we got back to school. From being stuck in a house with all of my sisters and parents, I was happy to be back in school. With my family and I living in the more rural part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan, the ice on the roads weren't helping. Last Thursday, the district cancelled all after-school programs, games, and Saturday school. This was our first notice to say that basically school was out for the rest of the week. I can truthfully say that I was happy that we had a small break from school before our Christmas break. We were scheduled to have our first basketball pep-rally during first period. Pep-rallies in the morning is one thing that I absolutely do not like. I am not a morning person, so mixing in a pep-rally that's supposed to make us all happy and cheery doesn't mix well with me. So, my weekend went from a two-day weekend to a three-day weekend. My weekend turned into a five-day weekend when the "wonderful mini-vacation" turned into an "everlasting nightmare." I had to stay with my family. For FIVE days! The weekend is enough and even then I'm not with them much, that's probably because about half of the day I spent sleeping in my bed ;) Coming back to school made me so happy because not only did I get to see my friends, but I got to actually go outside. I hope that this ice and snow melts away before the beginning of next week.

Olympus Has Fallen

I watched Olympus Has Fallen with my mom and sisters. This movie made me very emotional, though most of the time it showed people getting shot multiple times. The movie was about former disgraced Presidential Guard Michael Banning ( Gerard Butler) saving President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his son Connor (Finley Jacobsen) months after the loss of the first lady. With this movie only being released in March, it had received a 6.4, based on a 1 to 10 scale. This movie shows some gruesome scenes with all the blood splatters from actors. Watching this movie reminded me of G.I Joe Retaliation. I know that both are completely, but if you look really close, they're a lot alike. I would say that this movie was a 5 out of 5 because it was really good, even though at some parts out was a little too visual and realistic. I can't wait until the next movie, London Has Fallen.
