Writing

In Creative Writing class we were assigned to write a story (shocking I know.) I really have never written a story before. It was pretty interesting and difficult. I am not a very good writer especially when I have to have do create it in a certain time. It wasn’t too hard to come up with characters. The ending is the easiest thing for me to create and the begging is the hardest to make. I already knew what I wanted to happen at the end. It was hard to put it down on paper (that’s a new concept) and actually create the events to get to the end. For writing a story for the first time, I think that it was pretty good. I did like when we had other people editing the papers and getting comments. They catch the mistakes that I don’t (which there was a lot of errors.) I don’t like commenting on other peoples work (selfish?) No, it’s just that I kind of feel bad (I know that sounds dumb.) I’m afraid that if I mark something down that it will be wrong and then it will be my fault that they got it wrong.

Winter

Yay! It finally snowed! I love the snow because that means winter break is coming! No school and the holidays are coming up. I’m able to be with family and friends. I think that snow is fun. Having snowball fights and going sledding. It’s fun to get cold and then going inside to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate. Yum, I love hot chocolate because it is delicious. It is amazing when school is canceled or having a two hour delay by the snow and ice. I love ice sickles, they are so pretty. People have lights up on or in their houses. (They are so cool.) I love to just walk or drive around just looking at the lights.

Tests

I hate them with a passion! (Fine, I really don’t like them.) I know it is to show what we have learned but I’m just not very good at them. I am one of those people who can study for hours AND get to use a cheat sheet, yet still manage to fail. I don’t know how people get away without studying and pass with flying colors. I congratulate you people. I just wish that if I get many tests that I be given loads of homework. I know that sounds weird but I want to be able to look it up, know what went wrong, and fix it. Instead of playing a guessing game and when it’s the incorrect answer not know what I did wrong. I wish that there were some way that I could do better.

The Definition of Manliness

Captain Falcon's epic manliness burns with a passion,
and he is also the epitome of Super Smash Bros. fashion.

He possesses unparalleled skills,
which he uses to crush his opponents wills.

If you are in the air,
you should beware.

For if you are in his view,
he will latch onto you,
and then you will be through,
as he shouts "Yes!" and bids you adieu.

Those who are faced against his mighty knee,
cower with fear and flee.

The Falcon Punch is a move to revere,
for it will make you disappear,
and everyone will hear,
the crowd cheer,
as the stage is clear.

Captain Falcon also loves to flaunt,
by ridiculing you with his "Show me your moves!" taunt.

His greatness you cannot refuse,
for he will then use his shoes,
to give you more then a bruise,and you shall surely lose.
