Valentine’s Day is a day to share with a loved one and show how much they mean to you. To me my Valentine’s Day was both sad and delightful. I did not have my Valentine but I was in Las Vegas.
This year was the hardest Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend and I have been fighting and decided not to spend Valentine’s Day together. It was really hard but we needed our space. My sister could tell that I was feeling blue so she invited me to Las Vegas. And it changed everything.
I had a blast. We walked all over the Strip. We went into all the casinos, and little factories, like the M&M factory. We went on the New York New York roller coaster. We did everything and underage person could do in Vegas.
Even though I was sad on Valentine’s Day it turned out better then I thought. I made the best of it and it helped. My boyfriend and I are happy we had our space and happy we worked everything out. So I guess my Valentine’s Day was more delightful than sad.

Neat or Sloppy
Everyone in the world is either sloppy or neat. And everyone’s definitions of being sloppy and neat are different. I believe being sloppy is when you just don’t care, you don’t clean, you’re unorganized, and pretty much lazy. Being neat is you take care of yourself, you have everything very clean and organized, and you’re always active and ready to go.
To me I think of myself as neat. But I am not the kind of neat person we read about. I don’t just throw things away because it takes up space, and I am not rude and look down on messy people. I always wake up, make my bed, and get in the shower; to me those are actives neat people do. My room is very neat; I can find anything because I am very organized. I help others become neat; my roommate now is also a neat person. I just think it makes life easier to be neat.
There are times when I do feel like a sloppy person. Days I am too tired and just want to sleep in, I don’t have time to make my bed, but everyone has those days. But sloppy people aren’t crazy and collect everything, like we read. I think they just don’t really care about being organized, that doesn’t mean they are any different then a neat person.
Now matter if you’re sloppy or neat or a little of both like me, we are all human and it doesn’t really affect who we are. Yeah it might say were a little lazy if were sloppy and don’t want to make our beds but that doesn’t mean we are lazy with everything else in life we chose. Life is a lot easier to be neat but it doesn’t matter if you’re sloppy as long as you’re happy.

"No Escape"
"No Escape" in Mee Street Chronicles by Frankie Lennon is a story about a little girl that gets scared. She wakes up in the middle of the night trying to find her parents. She can't find them and tries to escape from her house before any "monsters" get her. There are many things I learned from reading this, such as: don't panic and take your time.
It is important not to panic when you're in a scary situation. It makes things a lot worse. Being in a scary or bad situation is stressful enough, if you start to panic it is harder to handle. You start thinking bad thoughts and scare yourself even more, just like that little girl in "No Escape." She kept thinking all things were going to get her, but she had her fairy godmother, it helpedher not panic as much.
Another important lesson I learned was take your time, if you rush you panic. In the story the little girl tried to rush out of her house to find her parents before the "monserts"could get her. She was trying and rushing to open the door that she couldn't. It was when her godmother that told her to use something to help her reach the lock. She had to relax and think about what she was doing in order to succeed. So I learned if you just stop, relax and think of what to do everything will work out.
In both lessons I learned they can help whenever. It is very common when in a bad situation that you panic and rush, and those make the situation ten times worse. It is important to relax, take a minute and think of everything you have to do. Just breath and it will help you overcome any bad or awkward situation.

"Adversaries"
Reading "Adversaries" in The Mee Street Chronicles by Frankie Lennon, was enjoyable for me because, I really like reading about the aunt. She is very interesting; I never known someone like her, so all my attention goes to her while reading. The main thing that I like is how the aunt could be crazy and mean, but then has some what of a change of heart, or something like that.
In "Adversaries" the narrator gets in trouble for playing, I have never known of anyone getting mad at a child for playing. It seems crazy and wrong to me. The aunt is trying to teach a lesson to the narrator before she is about to spank her, and realizes something. I want to know what she realized to make her have a change of heart. I personally think it was when she realized that they used to beat the narrators mother, that she didn't want that happening to the narrator. She could have realized so many things but that was so interesting to me. Everything about the aunt catches my attention. Her personality, her beliefs, and her attitude I honestly wish I could have experienced someone like her in my life.
It might sound bad that I wish I knew someone like that, but it's true. I think I would be a different person; I would be a totally different person. I believe the author's personality is the way it is because of her past growing up, every one's is, but reading these memoirs explains everything. I just enjoy reading all of these, so it comes easy to me.
