Reflection.

I think all in all, blogging has made me realize much more about Arizona, than I ever thought I would. I cannot wait to go to the state many more times, so I can personally view all these spectacular sights for myself. Now I know what blogging is really like, firsthand.
I found blogging moderately easy. It wasn't the most difficult thing I thought I would have to experience, but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. The most challenging thing about blogging is the requirements, and everything of those sorts. I got somewhat confused at some points, when I missed a few days of school, and I got farther behind than most students. Luckily, I got caught up. Once I was no longer dazed, it was smooth-sailing. If I was assigned to blog some more, I would do so without complaining. But if I had to do it with my free-will, I probably wouldn't do so.
I wrote about the U.S. state, Arizona. That is because of all the places I've traveled, I must say Arizona is one of my favorite. Just everything about it attracts me. I am very close with my grandparents, and so I go to see them a lot. I'm also very interested in riding horses, and rodeos. Since it is in the Southwest, rodeos and horses are very common. That is always a plus for me.
In the month of February, chilren have a week off of school because of "Rodeo Week." Many of the kids take part in the rodeos, or know people who do. Because it doesn't snow in Arizona, people dont have school off in December for Winter Break. So that is why they have Rodeo Week, while other places have Winter Break.
My grandparents live in Arizona in the winter, due to the cold weather here, in Chicago. So whenever I go to the lovely state, I always try to get as much sun as possible, so I can rub in how tan I am. Where they live, there are these two owls that live in a palm tree, right outside of their home. It's really quite soothing to hear them communicating at night time, while I'm drifting off to sleep. My whole family adores to golf, but for some reason, I can't get into it. So usually while they're off golfing, I'm at a ranch, riding horses in the mountains. My father's cousin is married to the owner of Tanque Verde Ranch, so I love to ride there. (I wrote about it in a blog).
I absolutely LOVE the weather in the sunny state. Sometimes at night, it gets a little chilly. But for the most part, the temperature is always astounding. Arizona means the world to me. I love everything about it. It really is the prettiest state. The sun is always shining, making my mood skyrocket.
The wide open spaces are alluring to many people, as well as myself. The desert may not fascinate everybody, but to some people, its incredible. It harldy ever rains, but when it does, many people are quite excited. You'd be lucky to see even a few days of overcast.
