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.

Theatre

Throughout life there are many choices you can take or not. (Yes, yes I know more things about choices.) One of the most rewarding experiences that I have done is theatre. Whether you are an actor/actress or a theatre technician it doesn't matter. You meet so many people and have fun (most of the time). Both positions in theatre take LOT’S of time and they both work very hard at what they do. I have been a theatre technician or “techie” ever since I joined theatre. I have met a variety of people who have all been amazing. I thank all of them who have worked with me. You have made this experience incredible. If you are thinking about doing theatre then DO IT!!! Try and join, and if you don’t make it the first time all well try again. Don’t just sit around wishing you could be in something like that.

... We'll Choose Whatever Path We Want, Without Any Regrets...

Many people live by quotes or sayings. There are so many out there it is hard to decide which one I live by the most. I would have to say the quote “... We'll choose whatever path we want, without any regrets...” by Edgar Roni Figaro is the saying I live by most of the time. Everyone chooses different courses; some are good and some are not so good. Everyone makes mistakes we are not perfect. I try to live without regrets because what is done has been done and there is nothing that I can do to change that. I have made many mistakes (and I still will) but I continue to live. If I were to be sorry for all the things I have committed then I would be depressed. Make the most out of life and live life to the fullest.

Sunset

Sitting on the beach
As the sun goes down and down
The moon coming up

Scenery changes colors
Starts begin to rise
A beautiful site
