***Hmm... what to report...well, the carny has already come and gone. Steve won me two fish, that i named Peaches and Cream. After the carny Sat. I went to his house to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower, we saw 22 in an hr. Not that bad, not as good as the one I saw in 8th grade with Steph, but that was once in a lifetime I think. Anyhow. So his sister watched em with us...and we had quite the heeby jeebies...we heard some weird cat...then we saw it by the corn, and got freaked out...then we heard a pack of coyotes in the woods behind his house. Yesterday we went four wheeling at his grandma's house...which was fun, but i always think I'm gonna fall off somehow.

***Only three more days of work. Then off to college! I didn't even get burned that bad at Penndot...I got burned worse at the yardsale we had at our house...my legs fried. This week began hockey double days for the highschool...I sorta miss it...oh well...maybe I'll play in the alumni game.

So I just got back from the State FFA convention. It was fun, as always...I love farms/ old farm men...I love how people work with their hands and make something grow, and ppl have big families, and they live with land and learn about animals and the origin of our food...haha and ahhh, that clean smelling fresh farm air! idk, it's just close to my heart, I always wanted to live on a farm. Anyhow, so FFA is a great organization that helps kids to learn and mature. I'm sure anyone that's not in it, won't be able to understand the magnitude of how awesome this is, but Paul Druckenmiller got in as a state officer! It's so exciting! Way to go Paul! That means that for a year he gets to travel around the state visiting different chapters and meeting really cool important people. Darren Wood was the state vice president this past year. I was at the convention for conservation public speaking and got 2nd place. The girl that got first, Kelly, is now state President! She's a really nice outgoing girl and I sorta became friends with her cuz she was at my regional competition too. Also Alex Spease and Caitlin Tengeres and I went shopping. We didn't buy much but it was fun anyhow. Oh my goodness we went to the Waffle Shoppe and everything was fantab except for our apple juice! UGH it tasted like it had a whole bucket of sugar in it. It was nasty. Anyways, I met lots of great people, and heard this song that I really liked called

Fishin' in the Dark.

Lazy yeller moon coming up tonight
Shining through the trees
Crickets are singing
And the lightning bugs are floating on the breeze
Baby get ready

Cross the field where the creek turns back
By the old stun road
Im going to take you to a special place
That nobody knows
Baby get ready

Ooo ooo ooo

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows

Down by river in the full moon light
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
