Governer: Sarah Palin, R (to Dec. 2010)

Alaska accounts for 25% of the oil produced in the United States.
Located near Prudhoe Bay, on the northern Alaskan coast, is North America's largest oil field. Every day, millions of gallons of oil are removed from Prudhoe Bay and pumped through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. The pipeline, maintained by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, snakes its way from Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's northern coast to the southcentral port of Valdez where the oil is pumped into tankers. One of the largest pipeline systems in the world, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline moves up to 88,000 barrels of oil per hour on its 800 mile journey to Valdez http://www.johnnyseastriverlodge.com/alaska.html


I learned in Sophmore economics that the oil tankers go up to Alaska and take oil from Alaska then bring it back down to the West coast states (Washington, Oregon, California)

Things that are happening in my life

Some stuff that is challenging in my life is:

My family

Relationships

My family is challenging right now, why? Because I got myself in trouble with my mother on Tuesday night I went to my ex boyfriends house and I was supposed to be at my place no later than dinner time (five or six.) I walked in my house at eight because I missed the bus. My mother didn't believe me that I missed it. We yell a lot when I am not responsible for what I am needing to do. Me and my mom go at a lot and we're like jail cell mates. I told her that her comeback was, "If you don't do stuff that I tell you to do then we won't fight like this everyday!" I love my mom dearly in the heart. I just hate it when we fight it's not really fun. My mom and father want me to change my life and let it be easier for me as well as them. I need to do what I am told, be mature enough and handle my responsibilities.

Scary or Embarrassing Moment

When I was 16, there was a cemetery that is called Zena the Backwards Church. Me and five of my friends went there and it's a tradition on Halloween, that we go and visit to take pictures of the graves, orbs, etc. Once I went there and there was a kitchen and a church. Me and a friend went up to the kitchen, and really heard a little boy and a little girl playing with children's toys. There was a toy that got thrown out of the kitchen. My friend booked it and I did the same thing. My other friends stayed there and were doing their business. They knew that we were by the kitchen, but they couldn't find us so they walked down the hill, that you walk up to to go to Zena. We hid in the orchards. My friend and I jumped out and scared my three other friends. They screamed and it echoed all around the church area. Another time when we went up there in the orchards there was a man riding his bike, and our vehicle was parked next to the orchards . We all jumped in the car as fast as we can.

Me and my friend were getting ready to go to her house in Keizer. I like to walk around and go back and forth to my bedroom and grab stuff. She likes to follow me wherever I go and I forgot that she does that. So I headed back to the bathroom and I dropped a pair of my panties on the ground. She went to pick them up and I didn't realize it and I screamed because she was in front of me and I didn't know it. To me it was scary/funny, but she was just cracking up a storm. I hated her about ten minutes because she scared me for the second time when I was blow drying my hair in the bathroom. She walked in and scared the living crap out of me. Now I usually lock the door so that doesn't happen again.

My favorite place

I have a couple places that I love to be at which are my favorite places: The outside and the beach. When I was a little kid my mom was asleep because she came home from grave yard shift. Me and my sister were playing with blocks, and suddenly Jalisa passed out and I was all alone awake. My mom woke up and saw that Jalisa was sleeping and couldn't find me. Ever since I was little I always wanted to go to parks, schools, and out in my front yard. Now at this age (seventeen) I stay in shape and go jogging. I absoulutly love fresh air because there is just something that cools me down and my body feels great. Whenever I am stressed out and needing my own time I take a walk. I can't say I can survive the outside (like the homeless people) because winter time is freezing.

The other place I love to be at is the wonderful beach. I always try to get my friends to go and I will pay for the gas if they will take me there. I know everyone has been there at least once. It's really relaxing and soothing just to watch the sunset and walk on the beach with your couple. I actually like elderly people spending time and holding hands together I think It's really adorable.
