OH today was a good day!

Today started out great as it started out at Hunter's house because I spent the night. When we woke up it was in the 30's speaking temperature wise. It was FANTASTIC and I was so pumped to put on boots, tights and a sweater. Hunter did the same. I am hoping which may never come true but maybe it will snow this winter.....hmmm....isn't it beautiful?



When we got to school none of the high schoolers were there. But they soon arrived and we started community time. We talked about the day's schedule and also did a whip. The topic was "if your life was turned into a movie when you were 95 years of age, what genre would it be? I chose a Comedy...which i think suits me the best. I could picture it now, it would be hilarious.

Then it was time for FLVS where I worked on Algebra where I got two lessons done but not the assignments. Algebra is so hard and it is putting me behind because I don't get it. it is really stressing me out. Just whoever came up with Quadratic Equations was a very cruel person.

It was PBL time where we printed out our Literary Analysis Papers and had a book discussion where we discussed "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave". This is to help us better understand the life of a slave  because of our project topic which is the Civil War. The book discussion went really well. We were split into two groups one having three and the other having four. My group was consisted of Mira, Leah, Nathan and I. We went around the group and shared which moment in the first three chapters that we read really stood out to us. I chose the part of the book where Mr. Frederick explains how all of the children are taken from their mothers before 12 months old because they do not want any mother and child to have an emotional bond or attachment because it will decrease their working ability. then they are given to an elder woman that is just there to make it out alive and to work everyday. Also, some other moments that were brought up were when Mr. Frederick's Aunt is being beaten, the rations of food and clothing that were given out and how slaves don't have any say in anything and have to lie to survive. This book has really hit me emotionally as how I can never imagine living like this and having to deal with it especially without support of my mother.

 Lunch and kickball were next. Lunch was at Cowgirl with Hunter, Alyssa, Hannah and Kylie. I think Alyssa did not even taste her food though because Alaqua Animal Shelter brought a litter of their puppies and she was determined to get her mother to buy her one.

MUSIC TIME!!!! Today in music we played through Your Not Sorry and Back to December by Taylor Swift. Then we learned a new song. This song was TNT by ACDC. This is where I learned that I would be singing this song. I am little nervous seeing as how I probably do not have the best singing voice in the band. But I guess if I am going to ever sing, this song would have to be the one for it. I will just practice and hope that on Monday I don't get laughed at.


Now, more FLVS where I retook a Spanish Test and studied more Algebra.


Cleaning, Blog Time and Check-Out was next on the to-do list.

Bye...off to Shop....talk to ya later.

My Introduction Paragraph and more...

To start off my blog I will let you read my Introduction paragraph to my Literary Analysis Paper for Thirteen Reasons Why...

If you did something to end your life right now because of what people did to you, would you want to let those certain people know, what they did and how it affected you and led you to making your final decision? Hannah Baker did in Thirteen Reasons Why written by Jay Asher. She lets everyone who ever hurt her and embarrass her know what they did. How their mistakes and rumors led to her final sight, pills and too many of them.  Her story evokes pain, heartbreak and a little spark of happiness will run throughout you body. Letting everyone know just how much rumors, actions and words can really affect a person. 

There it is, whether it be good or not...

Back to my actual day I got to school and right away I got started on FLVS and completed my Module 8 Biology Test which I have been putting off for almost 2 months. talk about Procrastination. I then got started on some Algebra which got me nowhere seeing as how I am terrible at Quadratic Equations...well all of Math really. 

I was off to Brain break where we played Statute and Steal the Bacon (one legged style) and our team won.

PBL time where we discussed how to further our work on our Literary Analysis Papers and other work in PBL. 

Lunch and Tennis was next and that was fun. Okay, Hunter, I apologize beforehand if you are reading this. Tennis was all the better with Hunter's epic fall. She tripped somehow (probably on air) and her body hit the earth. Now the process of body to earth took a little longer than expected...it was like it was in slowmo. Follow this link below and you will get a quick look at what it looked like.

 FLVS was calling my name when I got back and I tried to answer but everything was just not working right. I tried working on everything but I kept hitting a road block. So, I finally ended up doing a tutoring session in Spanish and a Spanish Oral. While in the language room in the back the highschool side went outside because there was talk that Skylar (a girl from last year) was out there. After talking with my teacher I went outside with them also but she never came and it was raining. Cleaning, Check Out and more tennis was next up and all of that was awesome. Except for getting locked in the Kitchen by Connor.

Civil War Essential Question

Today we worked on deciding on an essential question. I decided that I am going to use....dun dun dun....

"How are people's modern day perceptions affected by the outcome of the war?"

OH YEAH...it is pretty amazing and I am attempting it all by myself because I am just that amazing.
