Spring Break and a New Hobby!

      Hey, y'all! Many of us were on Spring Break this past week. I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing break from school and work and whatever else you caught a break from. I myself got a little break from school. 7th grade is fun, but everyone needs a break, even from the fun years. :)
     I have a new hobby that I'm REALLY pumped about. I love longboarding! Of all things, a form of skateboarding is my new favorite thing to do, regardless of what is on my schedule! My longboarding buddy, Calvin, is always very patient and shows me what to do whenever I have a question. He is always willing to go when we can, and since I don't have my own and have to borrow one of his, it really means a lot to me. I am currently saving up to buy a $90 one off of Amazon(the same one he has. First one when you type 'longboard'. It's awesome, BTW.) so that I can stop bugging him to take me down the coolest hills, around the most exciting corners, and through awesome, half-competitive, half-I-know-you're-going-to-win-but-I-don't-care races down the coolest hills with the most exciting corners. I'm super excited about the next time I can go longboarding with Calvin. There really is nothing like the feeling of rushing down a hill(sometimes without a helmet, if I can get lucky enough:P) with absolutely nothing holding you on the platform that you have to steer. You have to remain calm, maneuver the hills carefully and proficiently with your whole body. But the thing is, you can't get it. Not unless you've done it, felt it, smelled it, heard it, breathed it, tasted it. Until you've done it, until you've felt like you're at the peak of what life can feel like and, sometimes, frankly on the brink of death, you cannot possibly understand why on Earth it is so addictive, so amazing, and so satisfying. Okay. Now I'm going to get off my soapbox and wrap this thing up. (SHAMELESS PLUG: IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING, ANYTHING, ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO EARN SOME CASH SO THAT I CAN BUY MY NEW BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE, PLEASE TELL ME!!!! I AM AVAILABLE FOR SERVICE!!! THANK YOU!!!)
     Okay... I think that's about it! Please pray for those things(and let me know if I can work for some cash...)! I love you all so much! Thanks for reading!
