Oil Spill


The oil spill has been so horrible for our environment. What most people don't realize is that an oil spill like that doesn't only affect the ocean environment but it also affects our country. It has affect several species of animals and it is not fair. The BP oil company did not take the proper safety precautions and therefore, their one tiny mistake has affected several different species of animals. For example, whales, fish and birds such as sea gulls are hurt by BP's bad desision. The feathers of sea gulls and pelicans are so full of oil that it is prohibiting them from flying. The affect it has on our country is the fact that it could possibly harm people who live in the south. It will hurt their fishing industry as well as be a health hazard. In the future, I believe we should keep drilling oil because our economy is so dependant on it but we really change our standards of how we drill it. Safety precautions should always be taken and before a new site is drilled there should be not one but two emergency situation plans so in the future if something happens we can clean it up quickly instead of waiting around like this oil spill. Currently, BP is pumping dense mud into the oil wells, trying to plug it up according to http://http//www.newser.com/story/90332/bp-resumes-top-kill.html.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


I love….

I love laughing. I think laughing is probably the best thing ever. My problem is that I find everything funny, therefore I laugh a lot. Even when a situation is serious, I laugh. I think I have a slight problem. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.

I love the color pink. I have a pink ipod, a pink phone case, a pink camera, pink folders, and pink nail polish. The list goes on. I think it’s funny that I love pink because pink is close to red which is the color that I absolutely hate.

I love my family. I think they are pretty fabulous. Not just my immediate family but I also love all my cousins. I have 16 cousins on one side and 15 on the other. When we all get together its always a wild party. Not really but we all have a lot of fun together.

I love summer. It’s my favorite season for many reasons. 1.) My birthday is in August. 2.) There’s no school so I can catch up on some much needed sleep. 3.) Sleepovers during the week. It sounds stupid but they’re much more fun than weekend sleepovers. 4.) Swim club. Need I say more?

I love watermelon. Honestly if you gave me the choice between cookies and a watermelon I’d pick watermelon any day. I could eat the whole thing if my mom would let me. That’s another reason why I love summer.

I love my dog. He is the cutest thing in the whole wide world. Not to sound corny but when I’m upset, he is the first “person” I go to. He’s a wonderful listener. We get along very well and I’m definitely his favorite out of my family.

I love facebook. Not gonna lie, it feels weird saying that “I love” something like that but it’s something that I have become really dependant on for various reasons. Ahahhah. No, but I would die if I couldn’t use it.

I love running. Actually I hate running but I love the feeling after you run. It’s hard to describe but it’s a huge feeling of accomplishment that I normally don’t feel. It’s also great to know that by running, I’m helping my body for later on.

I love nail polish. I paint my nails once a week on Sunday afternoon. I don’t know why but it’s just something that makes me, me. I love painting them then putting a glitter coat over. But when I’m nervous I pick off my nail polish, and this week we had two track meets so as you can guess, I picked off all my nail polish.

I love many more things but I’m already passed 400 words so I’m not writing more now… maybe later?
