Current Event: Deadly casino fire 'got out of control,' suspects tell police
    Suspects were arrested in the case of a casino fire that was not intended to harm anyone. The fire happened in Monterrey, Mexico and the actual target was just the casino. The five suspects were members of a drug cartel, the arson was a result of the casino owners not cooperating with the cartel’s demands. Police are still searching for the owner of the casino who they think may have fled to the United States. The suspects have previous violent records as well as many drug cartels who have been committing crimes in which many have been killed. In the fire, over 52 people were injured or killed.

2nd First Blog Entry

Welllll this is obviously late.... but here are my sentences;

Nadé en el océano. Comí muchas hamburguesas. Viajé al lago. Visité a mi abuela. Fui a la sala de cine. Me fui a una cita con un chico. Jugué a las cartas con mis amigos. Dormí mucho. Jugué el deporte. Fui a un campamento.

Katie Teator's First Blog Entry in Spanish 2

This semester I hope to get an A but from what I've heard about spanish 2 that's pretty impossible so I'll be happy with a B.
In my other classes I'll be getting A's because they are really easy.
It's senior year so I'm ready to graduate and go to NC state.

I blogged last year in spanish 1 and its okay.

Blog #6- Poesía

Ohh, who's excited for a blog on poetry... not me.

The poem I chose is...

Tiempo by: Beatriz Tuxpan

Sueño con estaciones no contadas
buscando el porvenir del tiempo que se esfuma,
mas lo redimes abrazándolo como si te perteneciera
como si el viento peinara tus palabras.

Tu esencia se ha vuelto en mis sueños navegante,
dejas espacios rompiendo razones para colarme en ti
y me alegro por no ubicar tu sombra en luz
ni saberte de memoria.

The poet is Beatriz Tuxcan, google provides no information on her. I don't really know what this poem is talking about besides it being about time. I like the way it flows even though I can't tell what it means. It also says alegro which means happy (I think). I'm also taking a wild guess in the fact that memoria means memory? Here's my poem:

Espanol by Katie
Me gusta la clase de espanol
es muy divertido
son las nueve y trienta

wonderful, i know.

Cruise to Mexico :)

For my vacation, I'm planning to take a cruise on the Holland America Line to Mexico. It's a 7-day Mexican Riviera in the Deluxe Verandah suite. It's huge so I'll be bringing friends.

We'll be porting in San Diego, California, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and Cabo San Lucas.
 
While in San Diego, I'm gonna go to Sea World, the World Famous San Diego Zoo, and of course lots of shopping! In Mexico I'll go on the ATV & Village Adventure, where I ride my own personal semiautomatic fourwheeler to explore the countryside and villages. In Cabo San Lucas, I'm going on the Beach Horseback Ride and go scuba diving. These are just the highlights, there is so much more to do.
Food is provided on the cruise and we'll stop at various shops and restaurants to try the variety of food in different places.
As far as money goes, I'll probably have to bring a few thousand just to be sure....

I've never been on a cruise so this will be an extra special occasion for me. The combination of activities on this vacation just blows my mind, if only it were real :)
