Well I went to grace youth camp this weekend and it was really fun. I went indoor rock climbing, tubing and other stuff. I also went to this neon lights party, it was pretty sweet, glow sticks and black lights everywhere!!! but i got all my homework done before the weekend like a good responsible young male. And lastly, I really hope that you like this post that I wrote..... because it took 6HOURS TO WRITE IT!!!
True Story
True Story
I'm a failure.....
Well, at about 11:30, I saw that Jake and Luke had yet to post a blog. So I went to call them, but then realized I didn't have their number. So, I decided to call someone who knew it. Now I know that they went to school with Taylor, so I went to call her using a phone book, but I guess it was out dated. It said Elm street New Era, but I got a grumpy old lady saying "We don't do rentals." Then I thought "Hey, Casey has Taylor's number! And I have Casey's!" So I called and she was asleep... There was too many smiths in the phone book, and I even tried facebook, but to many smiths!! Now it's just past, midnight, and my mission is a failure...

Freaking Out A Little Bit At A Time.
The rough draft is due tomorrow. I have been planning all weekend long (as well as finishing my portfolio) and my rough draft is still skeletal. I'm not sure what to do. I don't think I need help with writing it, but I need a better way to get my ideas down. I know what I want to say and I know the words I want to use, but transitioning and making my rough draft fluid is becoming an extreme challenge.
On a positive note, my portfolio is SO CLOSE to being finished! I have one quick question:
I was reading the professionalism page in the packet and it says to use a variety of fonts. However, I do not want a variety of fonts as I feel it will make my portfolio seem indecisive and unprofessional. I was wondering if I would get marked down at all for not using multiple fonts and sticking with one or two.

Time
I felt like the free write on Time was just me complaining about how much time I do not have. I am very stressed out about my senior portfolio and I'm hoping that I have enough time to make it look very good. I don't think that it will look as good as a scrap book but I'm going to try. I also was very stressed out about our synthesis essay and at first was very confused. I think I was able to get it down and hopefully it was what Mrs. K was looking for. Also, I wanted to say that Noble, Casey, Taylor, and Amy did a great job on Friday presenting on capital punishment. Some of the facts really surprised me and it felt like I actually learned quite a lot from the presentation.
Stressed Out!
Okay so this weekend has been intense. I've been working on school work just about 24/7. On Friday I came home from school and worked on my portfolio for about an hour and a half and then ate supper and then worked on it some more. Then Saturday I woke up at 10 and went to Muskegon to get some pictures I printed out (for my portfolio) at Sam's Club & Wal*Mart. And I also got some last minute things at Hobby Lobby, Target, Meijer, and Wal*Mart. Then I got home around 8 and my mom and I finished putting everything away like 40 minutes later. It was such an exhausting day that I just had to sit down and relax a little. I watched The Social Network and then did some more work on my portfolio. Then I went to sleep. I set my alarm to wake me up at 1pm, because otherwise I won't wake up. But I did wake up before that, I think it was like 8 because my dog wouldn't shut up. My dog is so annoying when she barks. She seriously just barks for no reason. Anyways I tried to go back to sleep and I kind of did, but then woke back up at 10. I worked on my scrapbook for around 2 hours while watching Life as We Know It, and then ate dinner. Then I worked on it again for what seemed like forever. I'm so stressed out about it. But I did manage to get everything done except for one letter of recommendation and my table of contents. But I'm also stressed out because I am still working on the synthesis essay and it's just not coming together. I wish there was an easier way of doing it. And I still have calculus to do that I don't understand. I guess we have a winter weather advisory right now, so I'm hoping for a snow day!
