Topic 4



The region that I have enjoyed learning about the most would have to be South America. They have such great traditions, food, festivals, and beautiful land, in my opinion. They have the Andes mountions, located in western coast; The rich soiled grasslands called Pampas, the llanos for grazing the livestock, and they have the Amazon! They have resources such as, gold, silver, coper, iron, oil, coal, natural gas, and hydroelectric power. They have many Carriabean islands, that makes for good vacation destinatons. They have amazing styled dishes for food, with a little bit of spice, and fresh ingreditants, that some grow themselves.



They have very festive traditions, that are shared throughout towns, and the country.

The last two weeks have been really good! Though they have been busy, there have been some pretty fun things that have happened. I got my permitt on thursday which was pretty exciting. Ive been driving for a few days now! Its kind of scary but once you start getting the hang of it, it slowly gets better.
I have a few projects that are due in a few weeks, and Im going to try and get started on them so I won't end up doing them a couple of nights before it is due!

I don't know really what to say, so I'll just talk about the fact that Spring is here! One of the best things about spring is that we get a week off from school. We get to spend all day out in the sun, spend time with friends, and just relax and have the stress of school lifted off our shoulders. For me the best part of spring break is the sun! The weather has been cold and rainy so the warm sun feels really nice. This is also kind of a preview of what summer will be like, so it makes it that much more exciting. Now that we only have a few months left of school, I personally am getting anxious for summer. About three months of doing awesome things, and not having to worry about school.




I know this spring I'll be working on a little bit of volleyball since tryouts are in August, which seems like a while away, but not really!




The past two weeks have been pretty good, nothing much going on, at least in school. But i did just get piled up with projects, which isn't much fun.




Well that is pretty much all I have to say for this free topic!
