Outside Reading
I just read a skiing article in the magazine Ski Racing (good magazine by the way). It is about how the Olympic skiers ski so fast and what little tips make the difference. A few of the tips that it said were start the turn before the gate, really get forward, and put more pressure on the outside ski. I found this article really interesting because I ski race and it is the same kinda stuff that my coach tells me to work on everyday at practice. Now that I read this in a reliable magazine I know that my coach must be intelligent in the art of ski coaching. Next time he tells me what to do, I think I will actually listen to him.

I started Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and so far what has happened is the main character met a girl walking home and she was asking him really strange questions, being quite nosy. The questions she asked him were really deep and personal but he answered them anyways but quite vaguely. He went home and once he got home he started to think about the questions and why she was asking them and he finally came to the realization that he wasnt happy even though society has taught him that he is living a great life. So far reading this book I am really intrigued and it made me think also about the life I am living. It made me think that you might not realize that your life could be so much fuller than what it currently is. I am excited to keep reading this book and I will keep bloging about it.

I am reading A Million Little Pieces and it is about a guy that is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Right now in the story he is going crazy and he doesn't know what to do with out doing drugs. He can't think right because he is so use to being on stuff. He would rather have his life be over right now but at the same time he is really determined to get out this. He feels alone in the world. Its really interesting reading and seeing him go through all these steps towards being sober. I am really excited to continue reading this book.

I am continuing reading Twilight. Right now in the book Bella and Edward are becoming closer and Edward tells Bella why he was avoiding her at first. He also tells her how good her blood smells and how hard it is for him not to eat her. She kinda freaks out but he also tells her that he never would cause he couldn't live with himself if he did this. I think that Edward is so amazing for liking Bella but wanting to eat her. Its like me liking someone who tastes as good as a cookie but not eating any of them. He has incredible self control. I am excited to see where this book goes next and what happens with their relationship and how it will work out.

I recently read an article in a magazine called Seventeen about how to treat your friends right. It gave many tips about how to treat your friends and how to handle different situations. It said not to get down if you hear somebody talking about you, because it happens to everyone because girls like to gossip and they talk about each other. I learned a lot about how girls act when they are with different people. There are many things about girls I didn't even realize and I am a girl. This article was very interesting and I learned a lot about friends.

Recently I read an article in the Star Tribune about how dangerous driving can be in the winter. It said that it is the most slippery when you don't think it is at all. You shouldn't just slam on your breaks when you are slipping you should pump them. It is also very risky to drive at night when snowing out, be extra careful. I am glad that i read this article because I just started driving. This will be my first winter driving and I am glad that I learned these things before I start slipping. I am going to be extra careful this winter, now that I have read this article.
