No School and Congratulatory Givings

     Today is the last day in my four day weekend. I had fun and there was defiantly a lot of laughter. Starting with Saturday I mainly did my homework, till about 3pm. Then we invited our other side of the family over for a "party". We all had so much fun and I never thought I could laugh as much as I did that night, ever. I was supposed to be on a diet and I tried to make sure that I had water mainly. I did good with portion control; I just don't think that eating 3 cupcakes was such a good idea, diet wise.

      Then Sunday we mainly chilled out. I read for a lot of the day. I did not want to watch tv to much because I felt in a way, it was pointless. Then Monday was the big inauguration. I did not want to watch because I felt that I had already seen the first so why the second. I do understand that he is America's first black president and I respect him for even making it that far. But, I have had him for 4 years now as president and now another 4 years and while he does great things I would rather watch from a distance.

     Obama and the First Lady have done so much for this country and I appreciate them. It is just that I have bigger things to worry about in life instead of keeping tabs on the First Family. I feel like it is amazing for America to see another president but if It's the same, then in a sense they will be the same. I mean yes he will get better but yet he is still trying to fight for what he has promised already because it was an unfinished task. The world of political business can sometimes get very hectic, therefore making it hard to explain some things. Although I am not in any sort of political business, it intrigues me.

   That was a bit of a tangent but back to Tuesday. Tuesday I still had no school so I sat home and watched the movies The Rise Of The Dark Knight and That's My Boy for the first time. I have to admit they were pretty decent movies and would watch them again. The Rise of The Dark Knight had me crying at the end and the voice and Bane and Batman were a bit creppy.

   Today was pretty calm getting back to school and attendong to all matters. I am super excited because next week is filled with visits to Duke Ellington. I am a bit nervous, well very nervous to even be going. In crowds I am usually quiet and waiting for someone that I know. I will try not to be invasive, but the confident courageous girl that I am known to be. Today is going to be pretty short considering there is nothing really important to me at the moment.

     I have nothing else for writing. Until next time,

Mattie.
