Assignment 1 - Lia Jacobs - My Summer

Hi, I'm Lia Jacobs. My favorite thing to do in my free time would have to be watch shows on Netflix. Right now, I'm rewatching the good seasons of Friends, but my two all-time favorite shows are The Office and Parks and Rec. Some other interesting things about me are that I'm vegetarian, I enjoy photography, and despite having two cats, I'm definitely a dog person. My main goals for this year are to get good grades, pass all my AP tests, and build a better resume so I can hopefully get into a good college. I don't know exactly where I want to go to college or what I want to do, so my other goal is to go on lots of college visits to hopefully figure that out.

When talking about my summer, it seems largely uneventful, but it was one of the best summers I've ever had. Usually, my family goes on one large vacation together, but we ended up going on several shorter trips which I liked better because there was more to look forward to. The first week of June, we went to St. Louis, where I grew up, to celebrate my little cousin's birthday and visit family. Later on, we went to Ludington State Park in Michigan with my grandparents, my aunt, and their two crazy dogs. We stayed right on a smaller lake next to Lake Michigan and we did a lot of hiking throughout the park. We were there for the Fourth of July and went into a small town to see a surprisingly good fireworks display. Lastly, since my mom and I were already in Orlando for a sports tournament, we went to Disney World for several days. It was an unforgettable experience since it was my first time going there, even though I was a little too old for all of the 'magic'. The picture below is of a dog we saw while at Disney.

My favorite website would have to be http://www.flipline.com/games/papascheeseria/index.html because it's a really good way to pass time when you're bored.
