Touring WVU

Touring West Virginia University

Hi guys so today I am going to write about touring my state college campus. The college is called West Virginia University (WVU).

We went to the information center for the tour. We looked around there until it started. We road a tour bus all around Morgantown and our guide showed us the inside of some of the buildings. There were many different buildings for the different majors. There was also a PRT. WVU is one of the only schools in the nation with a PRT. It transports students around campus. They also had a Mountaineer Lounge.

In the Mountaineer Lounge there are many different restaurants and a movie theater. It's really big. There are two different libraries. One is open 24 hours and the other is open until 10 pm. There are two different types of dorms. There is the sweet style dorm which is where you share a room with a room mate and a bathroom with two other girls. The community style is where you have a room mate and share a bathroom with about 25 other people. Most of the dorm buildings had places you can eat too.

We also got to go inside a class room. It was really big and had small desk tops. It looked like a small auditorium. They also had a Barns and Nobel for WVU which had a Starbucks inside. We also saw there recreation center. The center had a huge swimming pool, 7 basketball courts, a workout center, a track for running, a 50 foot rock wall, and more.

That was the tour of WVU. I really liked it and so far that's were I want to go for college.

Pompeii

Pompeii

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about a movie I saw Friday night. The movie is called Pompeii and it is pretty interesting. The actual story probably didn't happen but, the volcano, Pompeii, did explode and kill many people covering them in stone.

So in the beginning of the movie Milo(the main character played by Kit Harrington) watched his family get killed my the Romans. He was taken to become a savage. He fought in many different arenas and never lost. One day he was taken to Pompeii. He was to fight a gladiator in their arena. Officials from Rome were there to watch and possibly give Pompeii money to help make their town better.

The princess of Pompeii fell in love with him and they tried to run away but got caught. Milo got 15 lashes for that. The next day was the fight. The Roman official wanted to marry the princess but she didn't like him. He threatened to kill her family so she agreed. She still loved Milo. The fight was all of the fighter chained to a pole with a sword and shield while the Pompeii army came out and fought them. All of the savages died except for Milo and the gladiator. They took out the entire army. The Roman leader got mad and sent his troops into the arena to kill them but that's when the earthquake happened. It was a sign of the volcano about to blow, but nobody knew it.

Houses and building started tumbling and everyone started getting on boats to leave. The boats that got in the water were destroyed by a tsunami. The Roman guy had locked the princess in a building so Milo went back for her. They headed towards the mountains knowing that the sea wasn't safe. They encountered the Roman who fought Milo for the princess. Milo won by chaining him to wood and letting the volcano do the rest. They got a bourse and the bourse went as far as in could but couldn't take both of them. Milo wanted her to go but she made the house run and stayed with him. The lava hit them when they were kissing and they were encased in stone like that.

So this is a really good movie. I liked it and it was interesting. The story of Pompeii (the real one) is very sad but still quite interesting and cool.

Room Update

Room Update

Hi guys so today I am going to be talking about my bed room updates. If you have read my earlier blogs I got a new room a little over a year ago and it's almost finished.

So first I got a dresser and it was a light tan color. My mom stained it black. We got really pretty crystal knobs for it but we didn't buy the right screws so they aren't in yet. I like to change up the decorations that I put on top of it about once every three months. Next is my closet. So I got a shoe rack for the bottom of my closet that holds most of my shoes. I also have a draw set in it. I need to get curtains for it because I don't want the sliding doors that it had before.






Then when you first walk into my room I have a bookcase. I also change that up around every three months. Right now there is nothing in the bottom shelf but other than that it is mostly jewelry and a vase with fake flowers in it. Next to that I have my vanity. It doesn't have a lot on top. I just have a picture and a mirror tray with a few things on it. In my drawers I have makeup, bags, and assorted crafts.






Next is my bed. My comforter is black so I can have any color on it. Right now it's a black and white theme with some stuffed animals on it. Then I have a corner with a bean bag chair and a little night stand next to it with my alarm clock on it. Other than all of that I have pictures up in my room. I also have two shelves above my drawers that have decorations and pictures on them.






So that's my room! I have to get closer curtains and screws for my dresser but that's pretty much it.

Spring Break

Spring Break

Hi guys today I am going to talk about my spring break. I just wanted to say happy Easter!!

Ok so first I will talk about antique shopping yesterday with my family. My mom loves to go antique shopping. So yesterday we went to Berkley Springs and walked around to little flea markets. We walked around three different ones. We didn't find anything in the first one. The second one my dad bought a shelf for his super heroes to be displayed on. In the last store my mom bought an old bench for a new entertainment center.

Next I will talk about Easter. Today we dyed our Easter eggs. We each got six eggs to dye. We did fun patterns and ombré colors. We had pink, yellow, green, dark blue, light blue, and orange. They turned out really pretty. We used the wax crayon to make different cool patterns on the eggs. I like dying Easter eggs. It's something we do every year and it's fun. Later today we'll go to lunch and then Easter egg hunt.

During my spring break I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I want to finish the book I'm reading called The Fault In Our Stars. It's a really good book and I will probably do a review blog on it. I have also started to knit a little. Right now I'm working on finishing a scarf. I also want to watch some scary movies. I enjoy those kind of movies the most.

So that's what I am going to do over spring break and some things that I have already done and enjoyed.
