My Four Day Weekend!

       My weekend started off really crummy. On Thursday I was still sick and sat home the whole day and I slept. On Friday I had to wake up really early and go to Saint Mary's High School to take the CO-OP. It is a test to see if you get accepted by any catholic schools you choose to go too. My choices were: Saint Joe's, Bergen Catholic, and Paramus Catholic. I really want to go to Saint Joe's. On Saturday I got a haircut and went to the mall. I bought earrings and a hat. After that I went to my cousins house and I baby sat my two cousins there was also a lot of other little kids there with their baby sitters(which were my older cousins). It was fun because we let the little kids go crazy and we just hung out and played Xbox. Sunday was a relaxing day. The whole day I watched NFL football and I won some money. It was a great weekend besides being sick!
