Emily Bronte.

Emily Jane Bronte, daughter of Patrick Bronte, a clergyman, and Maria Branwell, the daughter of a merchant, was born on July 30, 1818. Emily was born in a small village called Haworth located in Yorkshire.

When Emily was three her mother died of cancer and Emily's aunt, Elizabeth Branwell, came and lived with them to take care of the children. In 1824 Mr. Bronte sent four of his daughters; Elizabeth, Maria, Charlotte, and Emily to boarding school. Most of the time when they were at their school they were cold and undernourished. When Maria and Elizabeth contracted tuberculosis and died, Mr. Bronte became very worried and brought Charlotte and Emily home. As they grew up the Bronte's always had an amazing imagination. Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell would use wooden toys and make up stories that happened in imaginary kingdoms.

During the 1830's the children left home to study or work. Though, most of their attempts were unsuccessful. Emily was very depressed all the time. It was not until the mid-1840's, when she returned back to Haworth, did Emily become relatively happy. After they had all returned Emily, Charlotte, and Anne, whom all had been interested in writing for most of their life, decided to write and publish a collection of poems. They published their book under the names Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, to conceal the fact that they were actually women. Although, when it was finally published the book only sold 2 copies.

After this they resorted to writing fiction. Charlotte wrote the novel Jane Eyre, an immediate success, and Emily wrote her book Wuthering Heights, which came out to very negative reviews. People called the book “misshapen”, “grotesque”, and “shocking”. Even Charlotte said that it was very strange.

Later, as we all know, the book became more popular, but not before Emily died of tuberculosis on December 14, 1848, but now Emily Bronte is remembered just as much as her popular and classic book.  

Clement Clark Moore.

What if you wrote a poem for your children and they LOVED it? That would be really cool and very touching! But, what if that poem somehow got published into the newspaper and everyone, for generations on, LOVED it? Now that would be awesome!

That is what it was like for Clement Clark Moore. He wrote the poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas”. You know it, “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” Yep, he was just reading it to his kids on Christmas Eve and the next thing he knew it was published everywhere and everyone knew it.

Clement was born in New York City and was the only child of Reverend Benjamin Moore and Charity Clarke Moore. He was homeschool by his father until he went to Columbia College. When he graduated College in 1823 he became a professor or oriental and greek literature until he retired in 1850. While he was still teaching he married 19 year old Catharine Elizabeth Taylor and together they had nine children.

Clement died on July 10, 1863 and although “A Visit from St. Nicholas” was the only memorable poem that he wrote, he himself is remembered and a very important part in the tradition of Christmas.  

The Election.

I am so very done with the election. I do not want to here another word about it. It has been on tv, the radio, and all over Facebook for months. All I here is "Obama does this" and "Romney does that". Be quiet.

 What bothers me a lot too is all of my friends that are only 13 and 14 are completely devastated or absolutely joyous that Obama won. People are either saying that it is so awesome that he won or they're saying that America is in big trouble and they can't believe that he won. Honestly it doesn't matter what they think because they can't even vote yet.

Although what bothers me the most is that people will get so fed up and Mad at each other over it. Just because someone wants to vote for a different person than you does not make them stupid, they have their own opinion. People shouldn't start to hate each other because of it. Obama is not worth losing your friends and fighting with your family. He will be gone in 4 years, period. 

Characteristics that Make a Good Parent.

It takes a lot to be a parent. It takes a lot of time, sacrifice, and you need to have a lot of good characteristics. 

I think that the most important characteristic to have when you are a parent is to be very loving. You should always show your kids that you love them and that you would do anything for them. I think that kids learn from what they see, so if they grow up in a loving environment then they will grow up to be loving people. Also you should really make sure your kids know that you love them. You might know it, but if you never say "I love you" or if you don't give them hugs and those sorts of things, then they might know that you love them, but they won't really feel  loved. Also I think that kids just like to hear a parent say "I love you", just like a parent likes to hear their kid say "I love you".

I believe that parents should be VERY encouraging to their kids. It is really important to show your kids encouragement and show that you believe in them, even if what your kids want to be is the exact opposite of what you want them to be. You should always try and remember that what they want matters and try to be encouraging of it.  If kids don't think that people, especially people as important to them as their parents, believe in them then they will have trouble believing in themselves. Not only does encouragement help them believe in their self, but when people believe in you and you believe in yourself it makes want ever you are trying to do or what you are trying to reach so much easier! I believe that part of being encouraging is trust, not the kind of trust such as trusting your kids to go out with their friends and trust they won't do anything wrong, although that's important to do too. But you have to know how to trust that your kids know what they want.

A very important characteristic of being a parent is being a good listener. Kids will most likely be more open with their parents if they know that they will listen to them if they want to tell them something. Plus, when kids are more open with their parents that creates a better relationship. I also think that you should listen to your kids no matter what they want to talk about. Meaning if they are talking about something that happened at school or if they are talking about something important and heartfelt. 

I really do believe that it takes a lot to be a parent, but i think it would make it easier and better if you are loving, encouraging, trusting, and you are always a good listener. 

Rich.

Do you think that you're rich? No? Well listen to this... 1 billion people in the world live of off $1 dollar a day. That means you spend a whole weeks worth of money on ONE Starbucks coffee. Every two seconds someone dies of starvation. You have a pantry full of food whenever you want it. There are people that drink water so nasty that you wouldn't feed it to your dog. The minute you saw it you would dump it out and fill the bowl up from your sink, that has an endless amount of water supply. Now do you feel rich? I do.

After hearing those thing I don't know how you feel, but I feel very blessed and RICH. I also feel like I, and everyone else, take to much for granted. When we look into our fridge full of food and complain that there is nothing to eat, we are taking what we have for granted. When we are at our house, that has phones, computers, and TV's, and we complain that we have nothing to do, we are taking that for granted.

If you have food in your stomach, no saying you have to have a steak, some corn, and cake in there, but if you have food in your stomach and clothes on you back then you are rich. As people we take stuff for granted and we really shouldn't. We are blessed in many ways. So the next time that you see something that you really want and you just have to have it, remember that you don't because you already have stuff, and you are rich.

I believe that I am rich, even though I only have a whopping sixteen dollars in my bank account, and I believe that you are too.  

My Favorite Subject.

My mom asked me to start putting a journal entry, or at least one piece of writing, on my blog everyday. So that's what this is for. I couldn't really think of anything to write so I looked up some writing topics and since this is for school, I'm going to write about my favorite subject.

Well, really I don't have a favorite subject because like most people school isn't really my favorite thing to do.

I really like reading so if all you had to do for language arts was read, then that would be my favorite subject. Unfortunately you have to do a lot more than that.... I like science sometimes, such as when you do experiments, but you can't do those for everything. Also, a lot of science has to do with the human body and that really grosses me out, especially stuff about blood. I definitely CAN NOT be a doctor when I grow up. History is pretty much a drag and the only thing that I ever got interested in, that I can remember, is World War II. Plus, I still wonder why we have to learn about Ancient Civilizations and Medieval times and that kind of stuff. I understand that it teaches us the past and how far we've come, but why do we have to know that? Anyway, that leaves math. For the most part math isn't that bad because I actually understand it and it's the subject that I'm best at. So I guess math is my favorite subject!

The Murder King Tut.

King Tut was the pharaoh of Ancient Egypt from 1333 B.C. To 1324 B.C. He was the son of Akenhaten, son of Amenhotep IV, and Kiya. Tut's mother died when he was born and Akenhaten died in 1335 when he was six. Therefore, he was raised mostly by Nefertiti, Akenhaten's wife. When Tut was eight Nefertiti died and Tut married his half sister Ankhesenpaaten. Tut and Ankhesenpaaten had two children but they were both born dead.

There are still conspiracies on how the boy king died. Some believe he was murdered and others believe that he died from an infection caused by a broken leg.

The reason that many people believe that he died from an infection from a broken leg is because Tut was in a chariot crash right before he died and he did have a broken leg.

The theory of the murder of King Tut goes like this, Tut was in a chariot crash and while he was weak, Aye, the scribe who wanted to be Pharaoh for a long time, made a soldier, named Sefu,  kill Tut. He did this by suffocating him. Afterwards, Aye killed Sefu so he couldn't tell anyone what he had done. He then forced Akhesenpaaten to marry him. Right after their wedding he killed her and threw her in the Nile river. A few years after Aye became pharaoh, General Horemheb, a man who cooperated with Aye for years, killed him and became pharaoh. When Horemheb was Pharaoh he was the first to excel Egypt back to it's height since the rule of Amenhotep. 

Church on Sunday.

On Sunday several members of my family and I went to church at the Summit in High Point. It was VERY fun and there was a good message. There are a lot of nice people at the church and there is even a band that sings on the stage. It's like a rock concert every Sunday!

The message that the preacher talked about was about making a DIFFERENCE, instead of just making a POINT. The way he explained this was by referring to the a story in the book of Luke. (Luke 15:25-32). The story is about a King and his two sons. The younger son knew that when the king died he would get half of the inheritance and the other brother would get the other half. The younger brother told his father that he wanted to have his half now. He didn't want to wait for it. The King did as his son asked and gave him his half and the younger brother left the kingdom. Years past and the brother blew his money on things that were looked down on. When he ran out of money he began working for people, getting little pay and was starving. The brother knew that he had done wrong and decided to ask his father if he could work for him, that way he could be at home and he would at least get 3 meals a day. When the brother got home he did not get what he was expecting. When the brother walked up he was embraced in a huge hug by his father. His father was so excited the the lost brother had finally returned that he exclaimed that they would kill the fattened calf! The brother went inside with his father and they celebrated. While they were celebrating one of the servants told the older brother, who was working in the fields, that they were celebrating because his brother returned and that they cut the fattened calf and that he should join them. The brother didn't go in. The father went to the older brother and asked him to join them but the older brother said this....“All these years I've slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing that you told me to do. And in all that time you never gave me even one goat for a feast with my friends. Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!” As you can see the older brother does not feel that the younger brother deserve this and it is not fair that he gets it when the older brother has been loyal to his father the whole time. But the father sees it as he is making a difference in his sons life. He could tell him that he is not welcome back home, that would be making a point, but he wanted to make a DIFFERENCE.

I think the lesson was very powerful and meaningful. It was one of those times when the preacher says something and you're think in your head “how did he know that.....where does he have cameras hidden at my house?”. I think that everyone should hear this and figure out who they are....... The father or the older brother?

When I was younger my cousin and I would fight ALL the time. Everything that we said to each other was about whether something was fair or not. Sometimes instead of us making a POINT about whether it's fair or not we could have helped out the adults, by not fighting, therefore making a difference. Just a few days ago my mom said that her and my aunt were going to get Starbucks and I said that if she got Starbucks then I want Starbucks, that's not fair. As soon as I said it I realized that I was being the older brother and my mom and I laughed SO hard and she said, "What's your point?". That was one of those times when I realized life isn't always about being fair or making a point. 

There is a lot that I could do to make a difference. For example, The Summit does an event called The Big Serve where you volunteer around the community. I could make a point by telling people what it is or that they should help out or I could make a difference by actually volunteering myself. I chose to volunteer. What will you do?

Mesopotamia

Beginning in the year 4,300 B.C. a series of great cities and empires dominated the plains of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia was located in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which were used as the main way for transportation of goods. There were many people in Mesopotamia, so the rivers didn't supply enough water with all the daily activities they had to do. To compromise for this they built dykes, canals, and channels to capture the flood waters. 

Mesopotamia was divided into city-states. Most of the cities contained about 5,000 people, although Uruk had a population of 50,000 at its peak. Mesopotamia was the first "string of cities". Each city-state had a king who was the representative of the gods. The kings lived in a ziggurat, the holy tower, that had a spiraling ramp. In the center of every city was a temple where they kept all the food. They also sold it from there, along with other goods. Eventually most of the city-states developed into empires, including Sumer, Akkad, Ur, and many more. The best known out of all of Mesopotamia's Civilizations was Babylon. During the second millennium B.C., it rose from a providential capitol to the center of a kingdom that encompassed southern Iraq and beyond. 

In Mesopotamia the first type of writing was formed,. It was called cuneiform and it developed in Sumer. Sumerians wrote on clay tablets using a wedge, like a pencil, to carve in the soft clay. Having this writing allowed the people of Mesopotamia to keep trade records. Also scribes recorded the first literacy work known to western civilization. The literature followed the epic story of king Gil Gamesh, who embanks on a quest for immortality but ultimately failed. 

The Mesopotamians were very important to modern day civilizations. They left a legacy of law, literature, and engineering, for modern nations to build on.

Herodotus

Herodotus was the first real historian. Herodotus lived in Ancient Greece, in Halicanassus, Caria. He was born in the fifth century, during the year 484 B.C. Herodotus' father's name was Lyxes and his mothers name was Artemisia. When he was born, Caria was still under Persian Rule.

Herodotus is called the “Father of History”. He was not the first person to ever study history, but he was the first to collect his material systematically, test its accuracy, and arrange it into a well constructed narrative. The Histories, is his masterpiece and the only known work he has. Long after Herodotus' death, The Histories was divided into seven books, beginning with Clio and followed by Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, and the last was Polymnia.

Herodotus spent all of his life studying history, writing The Histories, and traveling almost all of the known world. Herodotus had a very productive life with many accomplishments, considering that he died at the young age of 59 in the year 425 B.C.

Boone

Boone is a city located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwest North Carolina. Because I enjoy the scenery, changing seasons, and nature, Boone would be no ordinary place to live and attend college.

Coming into Boone is one of the best parts of being there. You're just driving and then all of the sudden as you are driving, the scenery changes from highways and roads to beautiful mountains, trees, views, and valleys.  Boone is the home of Appalachian State University, the place where I want to attend college. Appalachian is a very nice school, not only because the way the school looks or that they have a good educational program, but there is a LOT of school spirit! Everywhere you look you see black and yellow, whether it be a sweatshirt, a sign, a little mountaineer statue, or, like we saw, a mountaineer mobile. When you're at your house in Boone and you go outside to get dome air and you just sit on the back porch it is amazing. It's very peaceful and there isn't all that unwanted noise, such as cars driving by. You look out and see all the beautiful sights, the trees, listen to the rain and thunder, and enjoy the scenery.

Where we live when it rains, isn't it usually just gloomy and boring? What about when it snows? Well, that's fun, but we don't get much of it. In Boone when it rains it so peaceful! It's very relaxing to listen and watch it. Also it is always cool because it's in the mountains, so in the winter it's actually cold enough for snow! Personally I have only been there when it had snowed once, but my aunt said that sometimes she will go sit on the porch and listen to the snow. Did you know that snow made noise? One of my favorite parts about Boone is the changing seasons. When the leaves turn from green to orange, yellow, and red and it cools down. Then the trees loose the leaves, there is a lot of snow on them, and it's really cold outside. Then when all melts, it warms up, leaves grow back, and the flowers come back. Not only do you get to see the beauty of all of this, but there is so much to do. In the summer you can go white water rafting and zip lining, and in the winter you can go sledding, snowboarding, and skiing.

Enjoying the weather doesn't always mean sitting at home. In Boone you can take walks outside or at the shops because they are outside. It's very fun to shop outside at all the places and go to the restaurants there. I would much rather go shopping on King street outside than I would want to shop in a mall. As I said earlier I want to attend Appalachian. I have been to a couple schools and none of them are in as nice a place as ASU, with nature around them as pretty as it was there. I think that it would be amazing to walk to class every day and read your books for school outside while you listen to the birds, the wind, and the crickets.

After I told you all of this, do you see why Boone would be no ordinary place to live? When I get older I want to live her with all the the beautiful scenery, changing seasons, nature, and all the exciting the things there are to do. I don' think that it would ever get old, it is an ever changing place to live.

Archeology and Anthropology

Anthropology and Archeology

The study of humans past and present is called anthropology. An important field in anthropology is archeology. Archeology focuses on the study of humans in the past. These two studies are considered a science, but can also help the study of history. Without it we wouldn't know anything about the past, when people didn't leave records. With anthropology and archeology we have recovered a lot of things that tell us about history.

Topics studied in Anthropology include human origins and evolution, the organization of human social and cultural relations, human physical traits, how humans behave, the variations among different groups of humans, and how the evolutionary past of humans influenced it's social organization and culture. The field is divided into four sub-fields. Those sub-fields include cultural anthropology, the study of culture, linguistic anthropology, the study of the process of human communications, biological anthropology, the study of humans and non-human primates in their biological, evolutionary, and demographic dimensions, and archeology. Archeology is the study of human activity in the past, mainly through the recovery of things such as artifacts, architecture, bio-facts, and cultural landscapes.

The point of anthropology is to learn more about past and present societies and the development in the human race. This is why archeology is so important. If we didn't have any way to study humans we wouldn't know anything about past societies and the development of the human race. Imagine if we knew nothing about history. How often do you talk about the past? If we didn't know about history you couldn't talk about the past. It would be like not knowing something all the time. Or it would be like someone trying to tell you something and then saying never mind. You know that feeling of wondering what's going on until it drives you crazy? Or it would be like starting a movie from the middle! If we didn't have the sciences of anthropology and archeology we would be completely lost!

About Me (:

Welcome to my blog, Taylor@Trinity. You may have guessed from my blog name that I'm Taylor. I'm thirteen years old and an only child. I live with my parents, Amanda and Eric (a.k.a. Mom and Dad, or as I call them Madre and Papi). I'm very close to my parents. We spend a lot of time together on school, watching movies, and working outside on the farm. Trinity means a group of three and since it is only the three of us, my mom thought that trinity would be a good name for our school and farm. Another reason Trinity works well with the farm is because it started out with just three cows, Larry, Curly, and Moe. Now we have 15 chickens, 1 milk cow, and 12 beef cows.

A lot of people would think that kids who are homeschooled are really geeky and don't really have a social life, but that's not exactly true. I'm completely normal...almost. I still have friends and I still do things like go to movies, go shopping, hangout, and have sleepovers. Some people who are homeschooled are completely sheltered. Luckily, my parents aren't like that. They don't always let me do what I want, which I will admit will makes me mad sometimes, but I've been told that it show that they actually care. . . .unlike some parents. 

I was a competitive gymnast from the age of seven until January of this year. I started gymnastics just for fun and then it turned into something more. I enjoyed it a lot and was really good at it. I loved it and everything about it. I loved seeing my friends, all the events, being there everyday, and even the strength and stretching. I remember trying to make workout routines for everybody in my family all the time because I loved working out so much. When you do gymnastics there is a really big commitment involved. You are there ALL the time! You have to practice four hours a day six days a week and that isn't something you want to do unless you are in it 100%, which I was. I didn't care that I was there all the time because I wanted to be. When I did gymnastics I wanted to be a college gymnast at the University of Georgia. Although after six years, a lot of things changed. I got older, didn't want to be there all the time, and realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life anymore, so I decided to retire from the sport. I no longer wanted to be a college gymnast. Even though I don't do gymnastics anymore and I don't want to go to UGA, I am very glad that I did gymnastics because it taught me so much. It taught me things like discipline, how to be a teammate, commitment, how to stay strong, and how to push through something even if you don't want to do it that day.

Life after gymnastics has given me a lot of free time that I get to spend with my family and friends. Recently most of that time has been spent with my aunt Rachael or at her house. I am very close to Rachael and my cousins Caiden, Levi, and Emily. I like to spend time with Rachael because we like to talk. Sometimes we will talk about something important and meaningful and sometimes we will talk about random stuff like books, or movies, or how she smells like slimjims.(; As Forest Gump would say we are like  "peas and carrots".

Like most teenagers, I am obsessed with a couple of things and spend a lot of time on other things. I am on my computer and my phone a lot, but not as much as you might think. I try to be respectful, so if someone needs me or wants to do something with me, I will put the electronics away and help or spend time with them. A couple other things that I am really obsessed with are Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. I have read all the Hunger Games books and seen the first movie and they were amazing! I have seen all the Harry Potter movies, probably 10 times each, and I've read the first book. I want to read the rest in the series, but I haven't been able to yet. Two of my favorite movies are Mean Girls and She's the Man. I have seen them so many times that I could just about make a reference to them in every conversation that I have! I love to read! I would read all day long if I could. Then there's music, which I listen to all the time. I think music is really powerful. I love how it can change your mood in a matter of seconds and it can make you think about things that you don't normally think about. I like listening to all types of music, whether it be country, rock, r&b, hip-hop, or pop. Something I believe about music is when people write or perform a song it should mean something; it shouldn't just be about telling someone to "call you maybe". 

Since I love books and music so much, when I grow up I want to be a book editor or a A&R representative. An A&R rep. is basically the recruiter for the record label and they find new talent for the label. As of right now, the college I want to go to is Appalachian State University. I want to go to college at App because it is a good school and I know a lot of people that went there. Those people all had a great time and have good things to say about the school.

I am a christian and I believe in God and the bible. I don't believe that you have to go to church in order to go to heaven or for Jesus to be your savior. Although that doesn't mean that I believe that you shouldn't go. We go to The Summit Church in Kernersville NC. We go to a six o'clock service on Sundays and I go to a service called Impact on Wednesdays. Impact is for Middle and High school students and it is AMAZING! There are so many nice people and a lot of opportunities.  I also believe that you shouldn't do things just to please God or other people. You should do them for yourself. For instance, my parents are going to get me a promise ring because I will have respect for myself until I am married, but I am not only doing it for god or my parents. I am doing it mostly for myself.

There are a lot of things that I may or may not believe in, but I don't judge people who are different from me. One thing I feel strongly about is abortion. I don't agree with it because I believe that a person is a person no matter how small. Even though I disagree with it, I wouldn't judge someone who had an abortion because I don't know their story and I think that they have a right to their own choices and beliefs. Also I don't think that we should judge people who are gay, and I don't think that we have the right to decide whether or not they can get married. I don't know if it's right or wrong to be gay, but I do think that if you love someone then you love them. It doesn't matter if they are a boy or girl. The bottom line is that we all sin and we all make mistakes, and to judge someone makes you no than better them.

I'm not really the type of person who has a role model or looks up to anyone in particular. Even though I don't look up to people, I still see the good that they do and I see their strength. When I see someone doing something hard and they push through it or they finish it even though they struggled, it inspires me and reminds me that if you are strong and you try your hardest, things will turn out okay.

Well that's about it. This is me. Stick around and you might get to know more.(:

My Summer

I had a pretty exciting summer! It started of with a two week beach trip! I went from June 30th to July 7th with my aunt and some of her husbands family. I had so much fun and I got to be there on my birthday, which is July 6th. Rachael and Kimberly even threw a surprise party for me and my uncle, since his birthday is on July 15th.

Our surprise party(: My family at home was on FaceTime! Haha.

Me, Rachael, and Kimberly. They are my two aunts and hey are the ones that planned the party.

We spent a lot of time down on the beach and just relaxing.

Levi and me in the water, he made me lift him open over every wave because he din't think he could jump over them.

Then on our way home we met with my Nanaweet, Peepaw, and my aunt Summer in the Food Lion parking lot and I went straight to the beach with them and stayed until July 14th.  When I was with them we did a lot of shopping, we went to the pool a couple of times, went to a water park, and we drove around on the strip almost every night!

We made some shirts while we were there too!

Us in front of the star fish...

Me with my Nana and Peepaw

Me and Summer Riding in the Mini Cooper on the Strip. (:

One day while we were there we rented a golf cart because we were staying at Ocean Lakes. Ocean Lakes is a campground at Myrtle Beach and there are probably a thousand golf carts driving around at night!

Golf Cart!

When we came back Summer spent another week with us. (:

I also spent a lot of time at my aunts house and my neighbor Aubrey's house. A couple of weeks before summer ended me. my mom, my 3 aunts, and my cousin all went to emerald point which was a blast!

Me and Caiden at Emerald Pointe! We have a picture in the same spot when we were really little.

So all summed up a had a really great summer! (:

Spinning Emmys around in the water! She loved the "wa".

Bank Account

Friday My Mom and I went to the bank so I could update my bank account. We go to State Employes Credit Union, SECU, and when you have an account when you are younger than thirteen, it is called a fat cat account. Then when you turn thirteen you can go to the bank and get it updated to a Zard account. We went a little late, considering my birthday is at the beginning of July, and signed up for a Checking account and a Savings account, so now I have credit card and a checkbook. Plus since I upgraded I got a free bag that I used at the library after we went to the bank.(:

The bank.... my mom was taking pictures of everything while we were in there!

When I was waiting.... We thought we were going to be waiting for a long time but it was only about five minutes!

 

After holding my bag! (: I doesn't look like much, but it sure did hold a lot of books when we went to the library after!
