Book Review: John Paul 2 High: Catholic, Reluctantly

Name: John Paul 2 High: Catholic, Reluctantly
Author: Christian M. Frank
Brief summary: Allie Weaver is a fifteen year old who was just shot at in her public school. After that scare, her mom decides that it would be best if she went to a new Catholic highschool, John Paul 2 High. Before Allie goes there, there are only five students. And it's run by three of the students' parents.
Grade/Age level: 13 and up
Cautions: They mention the priest scandals briefly, mention sex briefly, divorce, an unwed mother. but all mentioned VERY briefly. Oh, and also, there was a school shooting. Nobody got shot, but someone was shot at.

Personal Opinion: I really loved this book! It's VERY Catholic, but only if you know it is and if you look for the Catholic stuff. After I finished reading it. I put it down, pondered it, and than picked it up to read it again!! I had my mom read it, and she loved it too! We're both impatiently waiting for the sequel. ;) The way that Frank portrays the characters... They might as well be yourself! or your cousin, or your enemy, or your best friend, or your sibling!! Frank made the characters so everyone could think, "Hey, that reminds of so and so!" For example, Celia reminded me of one of my best friends Emalee. Emalee is "emo" but only in the way she dresses and the music she listens to. But she goes out of her way to be friendly and is always SOOOOOOOOOO nice to everyone! Liz on the other hand, reminded me of my sister Sarah. :p One thing..... I wish there was a John Paul 2 High in MY area!! Amazing Job Regina Doman and the rest of the team!!!!
Rating: 9/10

stupid computer.

Our Computer crashed. litterally. When you turn it on, it has this annoying message thing, and no matter what my computer opperator father does, it doesn't work!!!! So, we bring it to the computer place to get it fixed. Still waiting for news.

So, you may be wondering, "How has she been allowing comments?" Well... I knew I liked my mom's iPhone for a reason. :)

But, I can't blog on her phone, only check my email and such. Ah well. it's still pretty dang cool.

So, right now, I'm on a library computer. I MISS MY OWN COMPUTER!! I made my own pretty banner for the blog, and now I can't use it! SOB SOB SOB!!

But also, Sarah and I can't do our school as easily cuz alot of our tests and lesson plans and stuff are on the computer! :( or :) depends on which way you look at it.... So, Mom's gonna take us to the library hopefully twice a week or so.

But the upside of having no computer: I'm reading more! It rocks. Yay!

Lots of Love,

Katie <3

Caught in the act!

Caught in the act of doing my algebra while listening to my iPod! DUN DUN DUNNNNN!

Birthday parties, sleep tests and the new school year, oh my!

Helloo!

Sarah and I had our birthday parties this past weekend. Every year, we have a big "friend" party when we invite all our friends, and we also have a "family" party where we invite our family members to a BBQ. This year for our "friend" party, we had a big murder mystery party! IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!

Last night, I went to the hospital for a sleep test. They just wanted to check and see if I have sleep apnea (where you stop breathing when you're sleeping). The good news is, I don't have sleep apnea! The bad news is I didn't get any sleep.



Would YOU get any sleep with all that on your face/head/body? I didn't think so.

But, I did get to watch the season premiere of Bones (YAY!) and Sarah Palin's speech. Both of which were AWESOME!

We started school. It stinks. *sigh* oh well. Science isn't too bad. Algebra is.... Algebra. Meaning... TERRIBLE!

OK, well that's all for now!

Lots of Love,

Katie <3

Oh so sad
