The right balance

Right now I'm struggling with being able to work on all my classes and still getting to bed at reasonable time. For example tonight after youth group I have calc homework, no physics (thank God), op-ed work and JGHG chapters to read, personal finance vocab, I need to shower so I dont lose friends, and then go to bed. Its just making me panic a bit right now.

Johnny!!!! (is that spelled correctly?) haha

I read the first three chapters (I know she said we only had to do the first two) between yesterday and today and it's a totally different style then 1984. I almost found it really annoying that the sentences seemed to be run on, and the grammer wasn't too great. But I just feel like the language is telling part of the story in the view of the guyy....you know? hahaha....I think I will like it, but I also think it's gonna scare me....and possibly make me cry. I cry over lots of things...like movies, and stories, and books...and yeah...books. hahaha

Op-Ed....

I kind of wanted to meet with (you) Stariha, in order to learn how to condense my examples to put more of my thoughts in it...but so many other people were meeting with you, I'd feel bad to take time away from them. So I'll just figure it out and yeah... hahha, I will definitely meet with you before the Final Draft is due.

I know grammar is spelled wrong up there...but I kept it for effect. ;)

johnny.

so i really liked today when ms. stariha read to us.

because i like when people read to me, and she's a good reader.

and i can't read boring books, like 1984.

and i mean, i read the first 2 chapters of johnny and i just feel it would be better...

if someone read to me....every night!

any takers? :)

Gurggle and Gag

Okay ignore the title, that's just my head right now. It is pounding and I can't concentrate.

First on the subject of Johnny got his Gun, I could not get into it at all, and completely related to that annoying telephone that wouldn't stop ringing. But after a few pages I started to enjoy it.

Op-Ed. What can I say about you? I find it annoying that I can write for hours about something i'm passionate about, and write large stories, but when it comes to something that I don't really mind I can't find enough to say.

Op Ed Revisions

Well, I've finnaly edited my Op Ed essay to meet Stariha's demands. I started with about five paragraphs and now I'm down to about 1 1/2.

Unknown.....

I just thought about this. We read the unknown soldier in class today and it talked about the lies spread about the glories of war and how soldiers die a glorious death full of honor. Well how often do WE conform to the demands of society? How often do we do something because they say we should? They feed us all the lies of what we should do with our lives and the recipe for success. In reality people need to find what they are passionate about if they want to be happy in life. NO ONE can decide our lives for us. It is a sad day when a man lies dying on a field and finally realizes the insignificance of his sacrifice in the face of reality.

MY POST IN ALL CAPS

NOW YOU CAN SEE HOW IT FEELS STARIHA!

I REALLY LIKED TODAY, GOING OVER THE TEST LIKE THAT HELPED SEE THE THINGS WE DID WRONG AND THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO IMPROVE...LIKE SAID IN THE POST BEFORE MINE (SHOUT OUT TO MARITZA FOR THAT ONE) BUT YEAHHHH, I AM HOWEVER A LITTLE NERVOUS FOR THE FIRST QUIZ ON JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN BECAUSE WE ARENT GOING TO BE DOING OPEN BOOK, AND I FEEL THAT HELPS ME. SO IM PRETTY WORRIED THAT IM GOING TO BOMB THE QUIZ OR SOMETHING WHICH MHMMM I MIGHT CRY ABOUT. OK I WOULDNT REALLY CRY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT JUST KNOW STARIHA ON THE INSIDE... I WILL BE. MAYYYYYYYYYYBE JUST MAYBE MAKE OPEN BOOK AN OPTION HALF WAY THROUGH THE CLASS, CAUSE THAT REALLY HELPS ME FOR MY QUOTES. AND I KNOW YOU SAID WE COULD WRITE THEM DOWN AND USE THEM BUT IN ALL HONESTY ITS ME, ILL FORGET TO DO UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE THE QUIZ. OVERALL IM JUST STRESSING OUT...

....AND THAT CONCLUDES MY POST IN ALL CAPS :)
