10 Things I love to do in my Free Time

1) Basketball~Any time I can, I'll play basketball. I can literally say basketball is my life. I love to watch the NBA and most of all, play it with all my friends :] I used to drag Jenni and Naomi to play with me but now Karen's my ballin' buddy! haha My favorite team is the Warriors and the Finals this year was the BEST! The Lakers got BLOWN away in game 6...pretty shameful...No way. No how. No chance. Anyway, basketball IS the best!!

2) Writing~I put all my thoughts down on paper...every last thought. From age three, I've written everything about my life in a diary and it's really fun sometimes to look back at how far I've come, how much I've improved, how much my thoughts have changed.

3) Horse-back Riding~I love to horse-back ride. They're my favoritest animals in the world :) When I was in 5th, 6th grade, I went to Garrod and Springdown with Kristie and April...soo many good memories and such goood times! Chief was my horse<3 At our little end-of-camp show, I was Pocahontas! HAHA I went full out with the whole Indian outfit and feathers! And then afterwards, April and I fed our horses with sugar cubes...they were so happy :]

4) Eat~When I'm bored, I eat. I LOVE to eat. At CTY, Jenni stuffed me full of sugar (Hershey's chocolate bars and stuff) I swear I gained 5 pounds! eek! haha anyway, when I mull over issues, I just eat eat eat. I'm gonna be super fat one day... =)

5) Listen to Music~Music is the world I escape into when life isn't too great. Some of the latest songs I love are:
--Who Knew By Pink [influenced by Andy]
--Mockingbird By Eminem [April's my singing buddy]
--Say By John Mayer
--Stop and Stare By One Republic
--Bleeding Love By Leona Lewis

6) Read~Another thing I like to do is read classics. This year, I read Gone with the Wind. It is a very touching love story that has survived through time and I love it!

7)  Debate! Debate is so much fun and though at times, it takes a lot of time to do all the research and prepare argumentation, the rounds themselves are sooo much fun :]  I've always been the arguing type!  

8)  Shopping!!  Yes, every girl's favorite pastime: shopping! :)  I love to shop anywhere, but Great Mall and Valley Fair tie as my favorite two shopping centers...Forever 21, Wet Seal, Aero, Abercrombie, American Eagle...ah, the list is endless.

9)  Cancer Read-ups: As most of my friends and family know, I really enjoy looking into the latest news on cancer, especially lung cancer.  I am keeping in touch with my mentor this summer and look forward to continuing in this field.  Science is among many of my interests and discoveries often excite me!  One of my idols is Judah Folkman, he is genius!!  Look him up!

10)  Play with my dog~Gregory takes sooo much pressure off my chest.  He's just so playful!  I love him so much and though I've been busy lately, I hope to be able to play with him more.  He loves going out at walks because often times, he's left at home alone and all he can do is sleep....
