SPRING BREAK BABY!!!!!!!

    Heyyyyyy! I just got back from an AWESOME spring break! It was so much fun! I did everything everyday! So now I bet you want me to tell you what went on. And my answer is.....sure! I'm gonna tell you in order. Alright let's start!
   On Saturday me, my mom, my dad, and Zeina went out to Bahama Breeze for linner. (dinner+lunch=linner) Then my friend Tala slept over.



I love this place!!!

   











    On Sunday, me, my mom, my dad, Zeina, and Tala went to this park that's on Lake Lanier. I think its the Buford Dam Park. Anyways, there was a lot of people that went with us. OK so this is everyone that went with us. Me, my mom, my dad, Zeina, Tala, Tala's mom and dad, my aunt, my grandma, my great aunt, and my great uncle. Yeah I know, lots of peeps. Well there was SO many bees there! I would scream every time I saw one. Which was basically every 5 seconds. Zeina and Tala got so annoyed with me. But it was fun running from the bees!



that was me everyone!















   


   On Monday, Anabel and Kate came over. Anabel slept over and Kate was SUPPOSED to sleep over too, but she felt bad and went home:( Well me and Anabel slept in my basement. We sat on the couch and watched Glee. Anabel had brought 4 DVDs of Glee! But together they had 13 Glee's total. We watched 11 because we had already seen 2 before she came. So after like 6 Glee's we took a break and watched music videos on MTV. We started dancing to Born This Way at like 2:00am. Speaking of things we did at 2:00am, we made commercials. Anabel made a Coke Zero commercial, and I made a Pretzel commercial. It was fun! Eventually, we fell asleep at 5:30am and woke up at like 12:00pm. Oh yeah here is my Pretzel commercial! Hope you like!!! 


   On Tuesday, Anabel and I made french toast for breakfast. It was yummy! Then, she left at like 5:30.
   On Wednesday, I went to Bruster's with my aunt, my grandma, and Zeina. We got waffle cones and I was about to explode of ice cream!!!
   On Thursday, I went shopping with my mom. I got lots of pretty things.



i <3 shopping!















   On Friday, I went to see the movie Soul Surfer with Anabel and Sydney. (my peeps) It was a good movie. Then we went to Chick-Fil-A. I love that place!

love me some chick-fil-a!

   On Saturday, I went to Arabic School then I slept over at my friend Tala's house. We played on the trampoline a lot. When night came, we stayed up till like 3:00am watching Chopped. 
   On Sunday, we went on the trampoline some more. It was fun until Zeina jumped and landed on my ankle! That really hurt! We had pizza and chicken tenders for dinner. Then, my parents picked me and Zeina up at 7:30pm. I was so tired when I got home!



that was me















   So that was my spring break! It was really fun! Alright then, bye!
Science Fun:)

EWW VIRUS! GET AWAY FROM ME! AHHHHHH!

    EW EW EW EW! GET AWAY!!!!!!!! I DON'T WANNA GET SICK! AHHHHHH! (breaths heavily) Oh my gosh! The virus was chasing me trying to get me sick! (Don't worry, it was only just a dreeeam!) Oh ok well since I said it, let me go ahead and tell you about it. So a virus is this little tiny thing that basically gets you sick. It has this crown-type-thing on the top. The crown thingy is made up of protein and has DNA or RNA inside.

See, that's something you could have nightmares on? Right, or is it just me...

   That was the simple stuff. Now let's get down to the harder stuff. We are going to learn how viruses reproduce. The main thing you need to know is that it's not alive. OK so a virus enters your body and slips past the white blood cells and a bunch of other things. Then, it finds a cell. It has these key things on them and the cell has these lock things on them. If the key matches the lock, the virus releases its DNA or RNA. The virus then starts using the cell's genetic material to make copies of itself. After that, the cell has so many baby viruses inside it, it explodes! KABOOM! And soon, the viruses are on their way to find a cell to take over and make copies of themselves. And that's basically their life cycle, too. Ooh bonus! Here's a pic.



that's the life cycle but also how it reproduces

















   So now you know what a virus is. My job's done. Just kidding! I need to give you examples! There are a lot of different kinds of viruses. Some kinds are chicken pox and the common cold. Some of the more serious kinds are AIDS, influenza, measles, polio, tuberculoses, small pox, and even some kinds of cancer. Yeah, viruses are not fun. 

poor girl 

    Wait, there is something that can help you not get bad viruses. Or at least, if you do get it, you wont get sick. Before you get confused, I'll tell you what I mean. This thing is called a vaccine. Have you even had to go to the doctor and had to get shots? Ugh I know I have. Anyways, you usually wonder, "Why do I need to get this? How does this help me? WHY ME?!" Well, I'm here to answer your questions. First, we need to know what a vaccine IS. A vaccine is this little bit of virus that gets injected into your body, via needle. (lucky us) Alrighty, now since we know what it is, we can talk about it. Vaccines are really important. The little bit of virus enters you body, and your body tries to fight it. Oh yeah, that little virus, its not real. As in it wont actually hurt you. Well your body thinks its real so it fights it. And then, it will remember how to defeat that kind of virus. So, if you get the real thing, your body will know how to beat it. And everyone gets vaccines.

the orange stuff is the vaccines

    Alrighty then! That's my blog on viruses! Hope you enjoyed! So here is a cool little video I found. CLICK HERE! Science Fun:)
