Earthquakes and Hurricanes

In geography we are studying earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanos
basically hazards
so I would just like to point out that if you are not in a danger zone like the ring of fire then you are very ,very lucky because when you are in one of those danger zones then there are many floods, strong winds and dangers.

A lot of people die or are displaced, for instance in t he Philippines a few days ago Manila had a large storm hit them, and thousands had to evacuate.

Think about what you would od for work,
school
home
 safety
and family

What would you do, would love to here from y'all.
Email me if you have had any first hand experience as this would really help with my geography project.

Autumn

Autumn Is COMinG..!!

And I now need to plan my AUTUMN/WINTER clothing wardrobe!!
I'm thinking my main style will be jeans with a baggy jumper but I can't decide what coat I want to get.
Maybe a trench coat, or a boyfriend coat.

Not too sure yet,
but what I do know is that I want to save up for a pair of mid heel ankle boots, because I think that will look really awesome and would love to get that.

Since the cold weather is coming , it means it will be hot chocolate time!!!!!
And I get to bake brownies and loads of chocolaty 'vaguely' unhealthy things, hahaha ( When I was in spain I realised people say haha as jaja!!!)

Will show you a final compilation of what I am going to buy for my wardrobe.

Image

I have an image, that I would like to share.
However I am not able to share it yet, because it has not been created.
I can see it in my mind
But I need to construct it.

It is a glowing fireball.
It needs practise
It needs perfection

It will be done.

First Day Back to School

Today was my first day back to school………

It wasn't actually as bad as you'd think
We changed classes, but it is a really nice class and I hope it will be fun to have a new class
I have okay teaches, not too much of a fan of teachers, but It's ok, I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Netball trials were also today,
da da daaaaa
There is gonna be four more netball trials before i really know whether i;m on the team, so crossed fingers!!

Teachers, surprisingly, didn't load me up with homework just a bit of reading and teachers checklist.
On the weekend I have to go and get all my new folders for school, cause I'm not sure how many subjects need it…

My friend gave me a really nice pencil case with an indian design with red elephants on a white background.

Wish me luck in Year 9!!
