Today i woke and brushed my teeth and my hair.. BARELY then i went to walmart and i got some fruit and then i was looking at the sweets and i was thinking i wanted some smores brownies and some cookies and cremes cookies so i grabbed those and a bunch of pineapples and then i was late so i realized i had to get to school before 7;45 cause my attendance isn't the best so i rushed to school and i seen a car almost wipe out today so you gotta be careful while driving on these icy Minnesota roads. When i got to school i was hungry and then i remembered i bought a bag of golsfish to school and that was gone by like second period so i had goldfish for breakfast, you know the healthiest breakfast there is out there! I also had this smoothie where you just put juice in it and shake it and you got a no blend fruit smoothie! It was very delicious. Then i was in chem and i dislike chem so i wasn't really excited about that but yeah there was my morning.
