OHMYGOD MORGAN YOU'RE SO TAN

Before I even begin, let me just say... 

I GOT A UKUELE!!!! I CAN NOT CONTAIN MY EXCITMENT! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR TOO LONG!!!! IT'S SO MAJESTIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND JUST SO HAPPY SOUNDING!!! (I just called my ukulele an it!! Scratch that! My ukulele is anything but an it! A he or a she? I haven't decided yet... and I can't decide on a name. I want it to be something Hawaiian cause it is a ukulele after all! But nothing has me like, "OHMYGOD YES! THAT'S THE PERFECT NAME!!) And yes I actually can play it!                       To some extent...

And let's just take a moment and rejoice, ONLY 31 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!! 

So as you know, or may not know, last week was spring break. And I don't want to bore you to death with what I did step by step, minute for minute, millisecond for millisecond but I really have no other option here. Like do you really want to know what I pack? (We all know it's clothes and that's about it. No entertainment need. I got this thing in my head called a brain. Ever heard of it? Probably not because most people don't have one, I'm one of the lucky ones. But my brain can entertain me for a longgggg time. No knowing what will pop in and out of this head of mine.) 

Isn't this the truth!

Spring Break (Urban Dictionary definition): So there were lots of interesting definitions... But here's the one that speaks the most truth with not as much detail as some of them... "A time of year usually during late March or early April where high school and college kids have an excuse to party and get drunk. it also gives an excuse to hook up with anyone and everyone, no matter who you have back home." Words related to Spring Break: vacation, party, drunk, beach, girls gone wild, college, and lots of word I'm not going to type on a school computer. 

^ I have not experienced a Spring Break any where near that person's expectations.

So I know all of you really want to know what Morgan did over break. And I know this because if you are reading this you are either a. stalking my blog b. want to know more about me c. my mom d. some creepy old man on the Internet e. some reason I can't think of at this particular moment in time

It is indeed your lucky day. Here is what I did over break. *Applause* But don't work I included my wonderful sarcasm and thoughts of mine. So no need to worry, it will keep you from falling asleep.

So the first few days weren't that exciting, I slept, ate, slept some more, watched some TV, ate some food, did some community service, hit my head REALLY hard so then I read for the next few days in darkness possibly ruining my vision (but not really), and that basically sums it up.

But then...

On Wednesday we left to go camping at Quail Creek State Park after I went to the Orthodontist. (This time he said it’ll be a few more months because last time he screwed up and allowed this gap to occur between my two front teeth and I’m just sitting there all happy and understanding but on the inside I’m like, WELL WHY DID YOU SCREW IT UP!?!?! YOU SAID I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THEM OFF NOW! THANKS A LOT!) Then while my teeth were in pain from this stupid power chain I had to sit in the car for six hours and the worst part, I wasn’t able to eat anything. Thanks orthodontist. 

Swimmin' in the river

Guess what I had to do the first day there? Biking. Oh what joy. And the best part, it was down-hill single track. Yay! (That whole last section just imagine so much sarcasm you want to punch me in the face.) But Morgan, at least it’s downhill! Wrong! Remember the last time I did intense down hill? No well you obviously have a horrible memory or you never read that post.... This just got awkward for all of us. 

Biking ended up being worth it but only because I swam in a river afterwards and it was totally awesome but of course I was the tester to see how cold & deep the water was. So I jumped in from this rock expecting it to be super deep so I went all the way under but then I stood up and it wasn’t even to my waste. I was like “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!” Oh and I also got ice cream! Which was the only reason I agreed to bike in the first place. 

The next day we hiked Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park and my first thought was, Wow! this would be a perfect spot for an episode of Pretty Little Liars because A could try and push one of them off and it would be super intense but they get away (like always) sprinting down Walter’s Wiggles and one of them trips and falls and yeah...

And my second thought while climbing the death wish, Ew! How many people have touched these chains! GERMSSSS! That little boy up there probably just picked his nose and wiped it all over this and that dad didn't wash his hands after using the port-a-potty. 

Look at that view...! Not the rocks you dumbo! Those two
sexy people front & center!

Anywaysssss... this wasn’t my first time doing this hike. I’ve done it before when I was younger once just to Boy Scout Landing and then in sixth grade, I did the whole hike even the part with the sheer cliffs. And if you ever have the opportunity, definitely do this hike, even if you are afraid of heights. Perfect chance to over come that fear!

But when we were hiking up I over heard a conversation between a little boy and who I believe was his dad. The little one said, “When you were standing on the edge of the rock taking a picture I had an urge to push you off.” The dad appeared kinda sad but in a cherry voice he asked, “Why is that?” “I don’t know.” The little boy answered. The dad responded, “Sometimes I have that urge to. But the good thing is that we both controlled it and didn’t push anyone off the cliff.” The little boy seemed content and said, “I’m glad you didn’t push me off.” “Me too.” said el padre. What a nice father    son bonding moment. 

‘Twas the next morning and Morgan was up because the sun was awake which means she’s awake. And everyone else was asleep so instead of building a snowman (1. there was no snow 2. she doesn’t have a sister with magical powers) so she read. All morning. She read the book from 1/4 of the way done to every single page at the end. Even those boring awknoledgements. Then she went paddle boarding and thought some very deep thoughts. Thoughts that were so deep she can’t even accept the fact they were thought in her own brain. Deep like questioning the meaning of life deep, and questioning every human reaction like fear, happiness and sadness. Some revoloving around the reactions of other people at Angels Landing. So if you want to here all the super deep stuff, just vote on the poll to the right and maybe you’ll get to hear it. 

After paddle boarding we went to the Red Cliffs (Red Reef Trail) and it was red cliffs with some water in the area but still totally awesome! And once again, guess who was the tester? Yours truly. 

     I was the first to go into the pools (to make sure the water wasn't too cold because it won't matter 
     if Morgan freezes over and can't swim out) along with the job to see how deep they were. 

     So there was this really steep slide and I went first. To make sure there was no rock in the water 
     where Tyler could potentially hurt himself, don't worry about Morgan. 

     There was like a seven foot cliff to jump into one of the pools, and I was first. 

Tyler jumping off the cliff, selfie with the fam, and T-Fish sliding down the slide

But we all know the real reason Morgan was the first to do all of this, she's anything but chicken, she's a dare devil. *Dramatic slow motion wink*

So I’m currently writing this on the car ride home. What? Morgan, how are you doing that without Internet? Well, let me tell you. I’m smarter than the Internet, I’m writing on a Pages document. *Mind blown!!* But the whole reason I mentioned that is because I can NOT sit any longer!!! My butt is about to fall off!!! And now my pathetic dog Zac is up on the seats taking up all the space and is big fat head is on my leg so now that leg has fallen asleep and he’s asleep and isn’t waking up so now my butt and leg are in pain. This is just fantastic. And I have to sit here for another three hours. Yay!

Apparently I make a fantastic pillow 

So hopefully I’ll get home soon enough to study for that AP vocab test I have tomorrow (first period) that I completely forgot about. And of course I left my text book at home so I’m kinda screwed... Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you next week on Let's See What Boring Stuff Morgan Did This Week!

Adios!

P.S. You should check out my last blog post because it now as a new and improved totally rad video Molly and I made about being bored. Enjoy! :)

Oh and totally 100% forgot. That title... Yeah I really couldn't think of a clever title so I came up with that because it's my response from literally everyone.

Now it's your turn to solve the mystery. Was I burnt and it turned into a tan? Just tan? Or a sunburn disguised as a tan?

Here are more pictures: Just because I can ;)

So that cliff that I'm trying to hold, yeah that's what I hiked.
And I went up all those switch backs and touched all those
germy chains. 

Small people fit in small places

There's a giant shark swimming under neath me, just so you know

A Guide To Curing Boredom

You know what would suck?

Is if you were a penguin.

I mean think about it. They have it worst out of all the animals.

They're called birds, but can't fly. That sucks.

And on top if it all, they're not even colorful! Like they're just boring old black 'n' white.

They stand in the icy cold all day, swim in the almost frozen water, have their babies eaten by other animals and are they even fluffy!?!?!

Look at him he just looks so sad! Photo Credit

I just feel bad for penguins.

Okay apparently I'm really awkward at making introductions because that was just a random smack to the face.

So what's this post about?

Penguins.

HAHAHA no.

It's about your mom.

No really it is!

Just kidding it's not.

I probably don't even know who your mom is and if I do, tell them I say hi! (That awkward moment when I typed them instead of her so I was basically implying that you have multiple moms...)

Anywayssssss...

We all have those days and maybe even weeks in our lives when we are just so bored! *cough cough this next week called Spring Break* There's absolutely nothing to do! Your house is boring as poop, all your friends are "busy," you can't drive yourself anywhere and there's just nothing for you to do!!!

So here's a list of things you should do when your bored with or without a friend.

 It's The Real Guide To Livin' The Yolo Lyfe And Curing Boredom:

WARNING: If you look like a complete idiot while doing any of the things I suggested, that is all your fault because you're the one who was stupid enough to actually do something that I tell you to do. Have fun!

If you're in public:

Point at someone and scream, "YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!!!" And begin to run away but trip and crawl away slowly but frantically.

Lead a Zumba or Jazzercise class where ever you are. If you haven't ever done this then you are missing out big time! Basically you make a dance and everyone follows along and it's so much fun!! (So the lady who made this video, if you watch some of her other one's there's this old lady who consistently shows up and she's goooood and so funny to watch her get so into it.)

Take a picture of a stranger and then go up to that person, showing them that picture asking, "Have you seen this person?"

Climb a tree next to a popular path and make sure you can't be seen. Begin to talk to people walking by.

Two words: Marco Polo (Anywhere. Anytime.)

Hide in a clothing rack at some store and when ever someone starts looking at it jump up and down screaming, "PICK ME! PICK ME!"

Squawk at people walking past you.

Go up to random people and try to start a conversation with them. (Best way to make new friends!)

Blow bubbles.

Buy an ice cream cone and ask the person who served you if they believe in unicorns than smash the ice cream cone on to your forehead and walk away like a boss.

Blow up a balloon, tie it to yourself, run around while screaming, "IT WON'T STOP FOLLOWING ME!! SOMEONE HELP!!!"

If you're stuck at home:

Do some DIY's! There are endless amounts of DIY's out there and most of the stuff you can do with stuff you have at home, well at least hopefully they do.

Netflix is always the answer.

Play with anything that looks interesting.

Look up fun facts so than you can randomly give facts and you'll seem all smart and stuff. Like did you know that Luna is the most popular name for a dog currently? Which is kinda cool because one of my dogs is names Luna. But I wonder why that's the most popular name? Because you're not gonna name a brown dog Luna...? Right?

Find new obsessions. LIKE OHMYGOD TODAY I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS BAND AND I'M IN LOVE LIKE I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!! SO JUST LISTEN TO THIS AND YEAH I KNOW IT'S YOUR STEREOTYPICAL BOY BAND BUT THAT'S MY SORTA THING SO...

So obviously if you're reading this you're bored and that means when you're bored you like to stalk my blog.

Make videos! Either awesome music videos, totally strange videos, halarious comedies, embarsssing things or do a talk show about what ever you Juant! Here's a totally rad video my friend Molly and I made about the adventure of being bored!

Redecorate your room. I swear I do this at least once a month.

Try experimenting with the blender. But not in a weird way. Like once I put everything chocolate I could find and made the most amazing milkshake I've ever had... and I've never been able to recreate that shake.

Bake a cake.

Paint your nails. And boys you can do this too!

Have a movie marathon with lots of popcorn and pillows.

If you live in a neighborhood where people actually walk by your house and you have one of those legit mailboxes, put a walkie-talkie in it and every time someone walks by, scream super loud in the other walkie-talkie.

Long car rides:

Just take a whole buttload of selfies. But you have to make sure they're totally random and spontaneous that way you can enjoy those absolutely gorgeous faces you can make. (This one's a lot better when you have a friend.) And you never know, maybe one of them will by Instagram worthy.

Many selfies....

Candy Crush. Best way to spend time in the car. Until you have no more lives, then that just sucks.

Pretend you're making a music video. Either blare music from the radio or your phone/ipod. Then you have sure to document the moment and then show it to me so I can pee my pants laughing at how ridiculous you're acting.

So after your phone dies, (if this happens to you I am so sorry that's like the worst thing ever) but if it does die, charge it with a car charger or charge it off a laptop... but say you can't even do that. Here are a few more things you can do.

Sleep. Make sure you have a pillow!!

CARD GAMES!!

Roll down all the windows and blare music. This is always fun.

Eat as much junk food as you can possibly fit into your mouth.

What People Suggested From The Search Engine Named After His Great-Great-Grandfather Google

So I want all y'all to know I couldn't think of all these by myself. I had help from many people and all the strange people on the inter webs. And here are some that I just thought were hilarious and totally randomly awesome!

Like this but in a car or in your room!

Recopy the Bible replacing your name for God.

Send your goldfish to obedience school.

Discover the source of the Mississippi River.

Recite romantic poetry... to your toaster.

Learn Sign Language.

Plant a shoe.

Wear snorkel gear and hang pictures of fish from the ceiling. (In a car would be best!)

Interview your feet. (But really you could interview anything.)

Play with matches.

Listen to a painting.

Rake the carpet.

So if you're insanely bored and already done all these things just google things to do when you're bored and you will get a MASSIVE list of things to do. Just like this website.

 ✌ Peace out losers!  ✌

Oh have a FANTASTIC Spring Break 2k14 and make sure to party hard!!!

100 Things You Don't Know Or Care To Know About Me

Hola.

I'm Morgan.

Morgan Fisher.

And I am just 1 person living in a world with 7.046 billion other people.

If by any chance you are an alien from some in the universe, I welcome you to my blog but I must ask you, can we be friends? Because I really want to say I have a friend that's literally out of this world!

And can we just take a moment and embrace the fact I just figured out I can add emojis to this!!! But then I posted it and they turn out like this 😀 :( and look at the wittle snowman!!! ☃ that isn't a question mark!!!

So what's new with you?

Really!?!?! No way!!! That's awesome!!

Me?

Oh you know, the usual, barely surviving this days form of torture. Taking life day by day and making the best of each day.

So recently many of friends have started a list of 20 random facts about them but I want you all to know I started this list like a month ago because it is impossible to think of 100 things about yourself. And 20? Really? You can do better than that.

9. This is my lucky number. Do you wanna know why? Probably not but I'll tell you anyways! In elementary school when I played rec. soccer, I was #9 and it was my first time I scored a goal so I assumed it wasn't my soccer skills but the fact I was wearing a number nine jersey.

My blurry picture of the chicken that had
a large heart.

49. I'm obsessed with taking pictures. Like if there was enough memory on an SD card, I'd take a picture of literally everything. I think it'd be so cool if one day I do a flip-book-sort-of-thing-I-don't-know-what-to-call-it of each thing you do for 24 hours. So then you could document the laughter on your friends face as you tell them your new favorite joke, capture that look your classmate makes when you tell them there's a test, when really there is no test. But I get made fun of by how much I take pictures, especially by Madison. Let's just say if you got a chicken nugget that looked like a heart, wouldn't you take a picture of it?!?! Well I did. What if the sky just made your jaw drop, wouldn't you take a picture of it?!?! I know I would, even if it won't turn out that well.

55. I have NO IDEA where I want to go to college or anything like that.

56. I once got second in a s'mores contest but only because the kid who got first his was ridiculously packed with chocolate and his brother was one of the judges. But I on the other hand lost by one point and not to mention mine was just your average joe S'more.

57. Watching people do magic tricks just leaves me in awe. Like HOW DO YOU FREAKIN' DO THAT!?!?! (FYI boys that's a real chick magnet.)

58. I'm still baffled by how zippers work. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

59. I wish I was better at painting. But I'm working on it.

Just look at this amazing progression!!! I sure know how
to model... but this is on my favorite lake, Conway Lake

60. I don't like bacon.

61. My favorite color is blue.

62. Conway Lake is the greatest place ever.

63. For awhile I was obsessed with wanting a Hippie van but really if I get a car, I'll take any car.

66. If you can make me laugh, welcome to the club.

67. Apples. They're delicious, but now I can't eat them with these stupid braces!!!! So I slice them in a very strange way, I don't know how to explain it but at first people laugh but then they realize they taste wayyyy better The Morgan Way.

68. I've entered my photos into the country fair once in 2012 and got three 1st place and one 2nd place. I really want to enter photos again but I'm never here then. :(

70. You know when you were little and your mom would go to the mailbox and you would keep pestering her with, "Is there anything for me? Is that for me? No? Well, can I at least open it!?" Well I'm still obsessed with the fact of receiving a letter.

71. They're coming out with a second Purge and I cannot contain my excitement.

My face's cuteness makes up for the fact of
that hair that looks like I cut it myself.

72. I sleep with like five pillows not including Felipe and my body pillow.

73. Math is my favorite class and I enjoy solving equations. (I know big shocker, the whole world may as well just collapse.)

74. In preschool, on half of my head, my hair just fell out.

75. I went to a Boston's Red Sox game a few summers ago and we found this secret store. Secret store? Exactly. They don't advertise at all and it's in some sketchy alley way. You walk in and it's appears to be some crappy store and in the back they have a Snapple vending machine but really it's a door that leads to this really nice shoe & clothing store. Of course I didn't buy anything and I wasn't allowed to take any pictures either... And I don't even know if I'm supposed to have said that much on the internet but then again I didn't say what street it was on or the name of the store.

76. I'm obsessed with cameras.

77. I really can't think of more facts...

78. My knees are my tickle weakness. (So now the whole world knows my weak spot.)

My brother's too much of a model wearing this hat... so you
see him wearing it instead of me.

80. My family has been made into many different movies/TV shows. My mom's side of the family was made into We're The Millers and my dad's side, Growing Up Fisher and in elementary school I was an extra for the movie Snowmen. Be jealous. Okay JK they weren't made after us but coincidence? I think not. But really I was an extra for the movie and it's on Netflix, so go watch it!

81. I have many Junior Ranger badges to the National Parks and the last one I earned was on 10/18/13. Yes I do realize that was just a few months ago.

82. I have a fear of diving. Like diving off a raft into a lake. I don't know why, it just creeps me out diving head first into the unknown.

83. I have a better understanding of how large the number 100 is now.

84. Without my friends I would have disappeared of the face of this planet seven years ago.

89. I. NEED. A. UKELE. I don't think you understand how desperately I need one!!!!! Because when I'm all sad I could just play myself happy music and then suddenly BAM rainbows appear and unicorns are frolicking in the pasture near by. Also when I travel to Michigan I can play happy music while walking through the airport and eventually tons of people will be following me skipping and dancing and none of them would have a care in the world, until they realized they missed their flight.

90. Cats are possibly my greatest fear.

91. Unlike most teenagers I actually enjoy country music.

104. I think it's scary that in four years, the people I see everyday, I most likely won't ever see them again.

105. Whenever I'm in a situation where there's two Morgan's (which happens more often than not,) I get called Fish.

106. Horseback riding seems like so much fun!!! Like majestically going on a trail AND I COULD BRING MY UKELE AND JUST PLAY MUSIC!! But the last time I went horseback riding, the horse didn't want to go so he turned back around to the barn.

107. When I was younger I used to always cheat in hide-n-go-seek by peeking or switching from spot to spot. And occasionally I was such a rebel I would hide in areas that were out of bounds.

108. In third grade I thought I could talk to Leprechauns... I know you're Jelly.

118. I've sang karaoke twice in my life and it's most embarrassing thing ever. I don't know what I was thinking!

119. I'm not a vegetarian but I just don't like the idea of eating meet. I just picture than animal frolicking through a field with all their friends then suddenly BOOM it's on my plate.

120. Yes I am one of the coolest kids you will ever meet, also known as a band kid. I know you regret your decision of not joining in 6th grade. #Bandkidsarethecoolkids

121. Campfires, are just perfect. The smell. How they mesmerize you until the smoke BURNS your eyes. They're just... relaxing? I don't know describe it but they are relaxing.

P.S. Ferris Wheels are great until they're the sketchy carnival ones.

Homework- Because Seven Hours Of School Wasn't Enough

Fact of life: Even if I have nothing to do and bored out of my mind, I still won't do my homework

Most people are lucky they can't hear what I'm thinking.

This was my list of homework to do before
I left for a cruise over February Break.

But today...

*Drumroll* 

You get an exclusive look inside the crazy brain of Morgan.

Don't be too excited, it's not that much of a reward.

Mostly you can see my thoughts while I'm being tortured.

Also known as doing my homework.

Basically homework is destroying my life. My "social" life. My sleeping life. My watching TV life. My life that exists inside my head. (SHOOT! I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT...) And my life in general.

And we all can relate, pure happiness is when you forget to do your homework and the teacher is absent!

So here's a glimpse inside my messed up head...




When life gives you homework...

... Go to bed

... Laugh

... Leave the country

... Burn that piece of paper and scream until someone calls the police

... Watch TV & browse the internet


When ever I begin to complain about homework my eleven year-old brother automatically says:

Half
Of
My
Energy
Wasted
On
Random
Knowledge

I know I'm not the only one that misses the days when homework was just coloring. RAINBOW (I JUST REALIZED RAINBOW IS EXACTLY AS MANY LETTERS AS THERE ARE COLORS!!!! *MIND BLOWN!!!*)


So these next two thoughts aren't my own original thoughts but I 100% agree.


Study (noun)
The act of texting, eating and watching TV with a open textbook near by


Why we don't have the time to study: During the year we have 365 days to study. Out of them 52 are Sundays so that leaves us with 313 days. During spring due to the good weather it's hard to concentrate on homework. Minus 50 days. Now 263 days left. Usually a person sleeps 8 hours which is 122 days in total. Now only 141 days to study. All of us spend at least 1 hour doing something we like (hobbies), that's minus another 15 days. 126 days left. Every day we spend at least 2 hours eating, minus 30 days, 96 days left to study. During the year, 90 days out of it we spend outside. That leaves us with 6 days. Every person is sick at least 3 times a year, minus another 3 days. Everyone who has a pet at home spends 20 minutes feeding or walking the animal. Which is 2 days. That leaves us with 1 day to and that's our birthday!

Now do you understand why we don't have time to study???

(Aren't those like pure genius?!?!)  And I do realize I should have spelt out all those number but it just looks cooler with numbers rather than letters and coolness means everything!

Here are my own thoughts while I'm being tortured with this stuff called homework:

It sure does look like a nice day to go outside and pick up the PILES AND PILES AND PILES of dog poop...

The newspaper just couldn't resist my beautiful face. I know
you can't recognize me with my sexy wig on but I'm the
one in the middle. 

Screw this assignment I'm watching Pretty Little Liars.

Dang, I really am tired.

I'll just do this in the morning.

What's for dinner? 

My laptops downstairs... Maybe if I scream really loud someone will hear me then I can tell them to bring it up to me.

The bed is just calling my name. And that pillow is just so tempting.

I'm gonna wait to do my homework because later in time, I'll be older, therefore wiser.

I was absent last class and she didn't officially tell me about the assignment.

I'll just wing it.

I bet Luna would really love to eat this homework, that textbook and my laptop. Maybe if I cover it in Nutella and bacon she'll actually eat it!

Domain? Range? What does that have to do with y=-5x+7?

We breathe air. Tress make air. Homework is made of trees. Therefore homework is killing us.

Wow. My room is a mess... Let the cleaning begin.

And then after that ^ Let's reorganizing and redecorate everything!

I bet if I moved to a new country some family would accept me, and I wouldn't go to school which means no homework.

This was on the bus ride to
LeTetons when I should have been
doing homework but I wasn't...

I'm hungryyyyyy

I signed up for Math! Not a foreign language!!!

It wasn't listed as homework on canvas so I don't have to do it.

My. Eyelids. Can't. Stay. Open. Any. Longer. 

So you didn't want to torture me for seven hours but another six while I'm in the comfort of my own home? How kind of you.

I'm just planning on BSing my way through that assignment... and test

I can do that during lunch.

Those dishes are just calling my name.

You only need to like ten people to make your own religion and then we could make homework against our religion and then those teachers can't make me do it, because it's against my religion.

Can we just embrace how cute my snuggle buddy is!?!

I'm not doing this I refuse!!

Response to ^ JK I have to pass

I believe in saving trees, therefore writing on this piece of paper is against what I believe in and they can't make me do something that I believe is wrong.

If I don't do this assignment, it really can't hurt my grade. At least not that much...


Dear homework,
You're not attractive and I'm not doing you! (It's funny because it's dirty... hehehehe)



What's today's date? Wait. When was I supposed to start the assignment? Oh yeah lets put that date!

Just finish it and then you can do whatever you please... JK LOLZIES That's not happening!

Maybe I should go run, it's better than this.


THAT'S DUE TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!?!?! I guess I can't finish that in five minutes, I'll just say my internet wasn't working. <- But sometimes that actually happens and it's like the God's above are trying to teach you a lesson about procrastination and you just think hahaha you're funny.

My final thought:

Dear homework,

CAN YOU LIKE GO DIE

or something...

It Was An Absolute Failure

Everything was a fail... even the picture

What was an absolute failure?

Everything.

Okay not everything that day.

But the skiing...

That was with no doubt in my mind an absolute failure.

We were planning on skiing at Snowbasin with my aunt & uncle that were visiting. But it didn't exactly go as planned.

So we show up and half the lifts are on wind hold... That's just fine and dandy.

It seemed as if a hurricane was about to attack the mountains, it was just that windy.

When we were getting on the gondola they told us the skies weren't allowed outside the gondola because it was so windy. So we had six people along with six skies inside the gondola. Let's just say my dad's skies didn't even fit inside.

I swear that gondola could NOT move any slower. I probably could have walked up that mountain faster than that gondola was moving.

I am aware I used gondola at least once in every sentence. Yay... grammar!




While skiing down I was pelted with chunks of ice that were blown from the trees. And even if I didn't turn at all I went the speed as if I was doing pizza skiing.

We almost fell of the tree and
died

We get to the bottom and take our skies off and get in line to go up again and the official lifty was like "Sorry this lift is now put on windhold so you're not allowed to get on."

Ruuuddee

I've only done one run and know you're going to make me go sit inside and buy your food until you open again. Not fair.

So that's what we did.

For an hour.


Then we asked the ladies at the information desk if and when they think they'd open the lift again. They were like sorry, we aren't opening again.

So I drove and hour both ways to get here just to ski one run, have a hot chocolate along with some fries and the go home. Yay.

Luckily they gave us a voucher for another day next year, but still.

Five Things That Occurred To Prove How Windy It Was:

• When everyone was in the lodge and we came out, all the skies and snowboards were blown over and were just laying there on the ground 
• When my brother and I were skiing our one and only run down a fairly steep slope, the wind almost stopped us from moving at all
• Even the little beginner lift was put on windhold which is protected by a ton of trees
• I fell over while walking because the wind pushed me over (it might have been my clumsiness but the world will never know...)
• Enough proof right here: The resort never opened again because it was so windy...

When we got back to my house I just wanted to sit on my lazy butt and watch Pretty Little Liars.

(DON'T SPEAK TO ME ABOUT THE SEASON FINALE BECAUSE I'M ONLY ON SEASON TWO AND I NEED TO CATCH UP ASAP BUT IF YOU SPOIL ANYTHING LIKE SOME PEOPLE HAVE FOR ME I WILL DISOWN YOU FOR LIFE.)

But no..... that didn't happen.

We had to go for a hike.

I only agreed to it because we hiked up and then got to sled down.

When we get to the trail head my parents point to the top of the mountain and I was like "Uh-no I'm not hiking all the way up there!" But they're like okay you can wait here in the parking lot for the next four hours while we hike. Fineeeeeee....

Here were some of my thoughts while hiking the dreadful peak:

My legs are going to fall off and there's nothing I can do about it.

Dysfunctional picture of me hiking the hill

Another bear is going to come out of those trees attack me again and then eat us all and no one will ever know.

What my brother and I actually said almost a million times. "Are we there yet?" "How much longer" "Can we just go from here." 

I think I'm gonna die.

We're lost. This isn't a real trail head, they just wanted Tyler and I to be trapped up here in the wilderness and die alone.

This sled should have a rope attached so I can just drag it and not have to carry it. 

Why'd I agree to do this?

When I'm sledding down this, I'm gonna run into that tree, this tree, that tree over there, and this tree that fell down probably from someone else running into it. 

We finally get to the top or the hill and we had a pretty great few of Park City. We began to sled down the mountain and it was such an adrenaline rush. I was so surprised I didn't crash into a tree and break my face.


So here's a video from the Sledtopia run and I guess it's not embarrassing... but it's a video. So it counts. Ha.

Oh and those clips aren't sped up at all I was actually going that fast. Intense, I know.

School Time Sadness

So school officially sucks.

I typically fall asleep while reading from a textbook

And don't argue with me because you know it's true.




I survived the week! But just barely...



This might sound weird but I actually learned a lot this week.


Not just actual school stuff but life lessons... I know weird.

So here they are:




1. The future is key 

I had a clarinet lesson this week and my teacher was helping me prepare for an audition for Wind Ensemble (the highest level concert band my high school offers). And it was just like a normal clarinet lesson but at the end she gave me some last reminders to make sure I do well on the audition. These reminders were: Confidence, Stay in the future, and Breathe- Lots of air! Now all of those pertain directly to the clarinet but I took away a few life lessons there.

Confidence: Literal- I have to have the confidence because if the confidence isn't there neither is the rest of what I have to show. What I took away from it- You should be confident in everything you do, even if it might be a failure, own up to the situation and do the best you can.

Breathe- Lots of air: Literal- Well duh! You need air to breath... but you need enough air to be heard, not just background music. The goal is to make music and you have to do that by being heard, not hiding in the shadows of other. What I took away from it- If you're gonna say it, say it loud. Make sure you're heard by others not just the person sitting next to you

Stay in the future: Literal- If I made a mistake during the audition, I had to forget about it and just focus on the future notes so I won't screw those up too. What I took away from it- But that's a deep subject... What's in the past is in the past. It's done. It've over. It's happened and there's nothing you can do about it. So begin to move on. And focus on the future.

Last time I asked him when I would get them off. And
his response was... a laugh. Photo Credit

Sorry for the whole #inspiration unless you liked it... I could do more of it. Although I know all y'all prefer my embarrassing videos which FYI there will be one next week.

2. I can't eat goldfish without having to brush my teeth ten times afterwards

Braces.

The reason for all this.

I JUST WANT THEM OFF ALREADY!!! (Is that to much to ask?)

3. School. Sucks.

It's not so much school I hate... it's the homework. And projects. And tests. And make-up assignments. And teachers thinking I don't have a life besides their class and I can stay up until all hours of the night doing their assignments & studying. Oh and I forgot some where in there is.... Track. Clarinet. Saxophone. Skiing. Eating. Maybe getting a few hours of sleep. And possibly actually having a social life. But that's what I get for taking all honors and AP classes. Oh joy.

And it's to that point in the year where everyone just feels like... blah. Am I right? or am I right? It's the "I really don't feel like doing this""I'm so done with school.""SUMMER!!!""I'm 100% done with all their homework & tests.""I don't even care anymore..." Which I say like every other word but then again... I still try my hardest which leads me to the next thing I learned... 

4. Hard work pays off

This past week I was swamped with make-up assignments, make-up tests, even more assignments and tests, an audition, reading assignments for English and Geography and reading notes. I brought stress to a whole new level, it was ridiculous! But I got almost no sleep so I could make sure I got it all done and studied for all my tests and lets just say the hard work payed off.

5. I'm counting down the seconds until I can go to Camp Daggett

So I found out I get to return to Camp Daggett this summer as staff and IM BEYOND EXCITED! I literally can not wait. I get to go for two weeks instead of just one! There are going to be many other kids that I went to camp with before and I can't wait to see them again. I'm a staff member!

WAHOOOOOO!

I literally can not contain my excitement!

I just want it to be July 13th already!


(Oh and I thought my title was pretty clever.... you know the song Summertime Sadness?  Who doesn't? Maybe you if you have less of a social life than me... But it's school time sadness rather than summertime sadness! See what I did there?)

As my parents call it, Morgan's Precious Camp Daggett

I'm missing the cruise life (and the bread)

On the weekends when I'm not doing homework, I'm at the
ice rink watching my brother play hockey

P.S. Do you wanna know a secret?























YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

I Don't Do Science

This past week I got to miss school to go to another school. I know, awesome!

But this school was wayyyyyy cooler!!!

It's in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and it's a school that's all about science, (called the Teton Science School.)

Instead of sitting in a class room all day just waiting for the weekend to come, I was outside learning science hands on.

Before I went on this trip, science was definitely my least favorite subject but after learning outside in the actual world rather than a classroom, it caused me to enjoy science so much more!

I heard from past students told this trip was fun.

But that my friend, was an understatement.

This trip was the most amusing, entertaining, exciting and all around awesome school trip ever.

Each day we were on the tips of our toes just dyeing to know what adventure we would encounter next. Wether it was snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, doing the dishes, singing every where ever we went or building snow sculptures. I definitely made many memories and funny stories I'll tell over and over again. (Most that include Ally & Caroline.)

Here are the highlights of my trip:

• Marty the Moose sculpture along with our flash mob at dinner.
• Watching Ally ride the struggle bus while trying to climb up the hill on cross-country skies
• Cutting down willow trees as a stewardship project
• MAFIA!!!

  

  We took selfies during the night hike even though we
  may have sacrificed our vision for the next few hours

• Caroline's animal call video
• Building the snowman that was as tall as me
• Our water baby experiment 
• Seeing Le Tetons (Muy bonita) 
• Going down steep hills that were hardly even a hill and epically falling
• The night hike and everything that happened along the way
• Cleaning Hoo-Rahs while singing and dancing
• The cursed YOLO
• Lane's story about chasing a coyote

And along the way we actually learned tons of stuff. (I know shocking, it's not like we're on a school trip while at a science school or anything like that...)


So I was told I had to make sure to use science words in this post so here's my list of science words:

• Adaptation

  

  Our bus rides were better than yours

• Snow Layers
• Scat & Tracks
• Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
• Facets & Rounds

Okay just kidding. I can actually put those vocabulary woods into context.

WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH UNLESS YOU ARE MENTALLY PREPARED TO SEE THE NERDY SIDE OF ME, AKA THE SCIENCE SIDE.

The first night here we learned about the GYE (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem) and all the species that live inside it using the acronym ASCAR. (A for alpine S for sagebrush C for conifer A for aspen R for Riparian.) Later on we had learned about behavioral and physical adaptations species have to help themselves survive the winter. FUN FACT: Did you know aspens have a layer of sunscreen on them to protect their photosynthetic bark underneath. We also dug three snow pits six feet deep and learned about the snow layers along with the difference between facets & rounds. Sara also learned that she likes to dig holes along with her hibernation cave. It was really cool trying to identify tracks out in the wilderness and kinda strange observing animals poop inside a container. The final thing I learned was the French fur trappers must have not seen some ladies in a very very VERY long time. (Hence the name Le Tetons.)

This trip was so much fun and if anyone who reads this has the opportunity to go, I 100% hands down, recommend it.

P.S. If you want to check out the blog for this trip, you can find other students who went and their fun experiences here.
