Things I Want to Research

Um I have to read up on "Das Heiligesturm Fahnlein"...my German guild. I would write a paper on them. I would also be able to get pics of the in time-period clothes. I also like Renaissance fairs so I wouldn't mind writing about the fairs or renaissance time period. I don't really know what to write out though. I know I can easily get a ton of information about my guild. They themselves have a ton of info for new recruits like me. :]
I wouldn't mind writing about teen pregnancies/abortions, animal cruelty, teen drug usage, or Boston Terriers. Just a hand full of randoms. There is more, but I can not think of a single thing really.

Hello

My name is Kendra Horn. I am 18 years old, I live at home with my parents and this is my first time at Crafton. I have three brothers and one sister. I'm not all the use to blogging. I just tend to rant on my myspace blogs. I’m taking English 015 because it is what I tested into and it is a pre req. for nursing. Once I am done with school I would like to move out of California to Oregon or Washington. I work part time as a substitute instructional assistant for the local school district. In October I get my baby Boston Terrier. I'm thinking of naming her Peanut.
