Coke, no really.

People would always joke around that coca cola used to the drug cocaine. I always laughed at them and told them they were wrong. The coca cola company never would do that, its illegal. Well, I was wrong. When I read that coca cola used to have cocaine in it I was shocked. I had heard rumors that it was in the pop but I never actually believed them. I figured out that the cocaine used to be what gave the drinker the buzz. But when the company found out the addictive properties they took it out of the drink. Now the substitute for the cocaine is caffeine. Not nearly as harmful as cocaine.

Counting the Days

This month the thing I have to be looking forward to the most is summer. I can't wait to sleep in on weekdays, go swimming and vacations. To not have to worry about homework or school would be amazing. It is even worse this year because the seniors get out 2 weeks before us. That two weeks is going to take forever. I can't wait for the summer after I graduate. My sister and I are going to Italy, it is my senior gift from her. Italy is the one place I have to go and I'm excited that we are going there. I'm not counting down the days yet but I imagine I will be when there's a month left of my high school career.

Top Ten TV Shows

1. Psych: It is a show on USA and if you don't watch it now then you should start. It it the best show ever.
2. House: I love this show, especially the character House, he is so funny to watch. The actual show is pretty interesting too.

4. The Simpsons: I have been watching this show forever and love every episode even if I've seen it 5 times.
5. That 70's Show: Always have loved this show and watch it almost every day.
6. The Office: Hilarious show, the characters are great. Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute are my two favorite.
