End Of English

Since we are so close to the end of the semester I don't want to do anything to huge. I was thinking something like watching movies or documentaries. I think that would be a good idea. I'm not sure what the documentaries would be on though. Maybe fish because I like fish :) I'm not sure if fish have something to do with English 8 so I'm going to say we should watch a documentary about poetry, or a movie that has poetry in it. I know we have already done the poetry section in our class but, I would enjoy watching more videos about it. I find it very interesting and creative.

Grade 8

  Well for starters nothing happened that was exciting over spring break. If something did happen it must not be very exciting because I can't remember anything ! :P Before I finish off grade 8 I would like to join some kind of sports team. Or just get a better mark in gym class! I might try not to talk back to Mr.Gajda so much. He said he likes it though so maybe I shouldn't. For sports I might want to join the soccer team or just go out of school and play tennis. I'm leaning more towards tennis. I don't like soccer much but its okay ! I'm not sure if anything will make grade 8 memorable. I think it being my first year in the high school makes it the most memorable. :)

Music

  When I chose my song I knew the lyrics meant something because I was able to tell what the feeling or moral of the song was. I felt something while listening to it. I felt that there was something sad about it but also something happy to making it have more meaning to me. To me a good song is when you can really tell the meaning of it or you feel something from the song. I like it when you can relate to the song giving it a special  meaning to you. Some people just listen to song and don't really realize the meaning of the song. Most songs do have meanings, but some don't have a meaning at all. Some songs have no meaning based on their genre.I like the songs with meanings but I also like the ones with only a good beat. I have a lot of songs I listen to. I would say my top songs are

1.Violet Hill by Cold play
2.My Hand by Leona Lewis
3.Anthem Of The Angles by Breaking Benjamin
4.Fix You by Cold play
5.The Only Exception by Paramore

  These songs are all filled with meaning to me because I seem to have something to relate with in each song. I feel the most connection with The Only Exception by Paramore though it is number five on my list, I recently started listening to Violet Hill so that's why its number one. I like these songs because they are very soothing to me. I chose these songs of the million songs I listen to because I have listened to them almost everyday,t hey are very catchy and I know all the words to them. :) For me music is life and everybody needs life. I would not be able to make the day if there was no music to listen to.

Creativity

I would rate this video a 8/10. I think it is creative how the balloon guy turned the box into a race car. I know I would never be able to do that. Well I could but not with an engine or anything like that ! It is also creative how the balloon made so many different shapes and images instead of just being one shape and doing the same things. My creativity is a 9/10. I am very creative when it comes to things, but I am not always creative. For some people creativity comes naturally and I believe I am one of those people. For others they have to try to be creative which is still good because creativity is always a good thing !

My Best Memory Of 2010

photo by: Me

    My most memorable moment of 2010 was when I went to South Dakota with my grandmother and grandfather. I really didn't want to go when they first asked me, but I thought about it for a few days and decided I would probably never get this opportunity again. We traveled in their RV the whole way. It took at least 4-5 days to get to our camp ground in South Dakota. Then we spent a week traveling around. One of the places we went was to Mt. Rushmore. It was amazing! They statues are so huge!! There was a walk you could take so you were right underneath the statues. It was very cool. I would say this is a good memory although my trip was very boring, it was also very exciting. It was and will always be a moment I will never forget. I am very thankful my grandmother and grandfather were willing to put up with me the whole time and also take me on this trip ! :)

My family

I live with my mom, step-dad, brother and if you can call pets family then I have a dog and a cat. They are very important to me, even though they tease me a lot. I know that it's just the way all families are! If your family doesn't tease you, you're lucky! My brother's name is Mitchell. He likes to tease me and attempt to beat me up but, I always win. :) Our mom's name is Shelly. She's a hard worker and she's horrible at wii tennis!! My step-dad's name is Dean. He loves to cook! My real dad lives in Midway. I visit him almost every weekend. I try to spend as much time with him as possible. Mitchell on the other hand, never seems to visit him. I don't know why he doesn't. Maybe he thinks he's to cool to visit his dad anymore?! All of my family are really close. We all get along, even though there are some troubles. We just try to make the best of our family and love everyone for who they are.
