Blogging!!!

well i just realized i forgot to blog, holy crap, lol .

well all i really gots to say is the rhetorical essay is probably the worst essay ive ever written in my life. imm sorry stariha but that essay was just about stupid.

Set Building = Fun

So I had fun set building today.
Plus I got extra credit for it.

At one point Ms. Stariha and some other people were talkin about how much they liked set building and I was like yeah me too.
But then I realized they were talking about the rhetorical essay.
They were saying they actually liked writing it.

WEIRDOS!

I was like woah woah woah.
No.
I like set building.
NOT writing essays.

my thoughts, shoot.

So Ive been thinking a lot about this whole religion, God, spirituality, absolute truth thing a lot lately. This weekend I went to a youth conference in Chicago about evangelism. So we had time to go out into the streets of chi-town and we were supposed to talk to people about Christ. I got to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo and talk to people. Anyways, I got into this really good discussion with this guy about what he believes and he was an ex-catholic school boy turned budahist. And then I talked to his friends about what they believe.. and it was like a mix of reencarnation meets you make your own heaven meets Im a spiritual person without any relgion. .. so I shared what I believe with them.. and then walked away. I then walked back to the bus so confused because I completely understand that everyone needs to make a choice of what they believe for themselves, and if what they have is working for them great.. but it kills me to think that we can say this but then some of us have religions that would damn people to hell if they didnt believe in it.. I'm having issues because thats what I believe. Ya know I really hate the way that Nathan comes across in poisonwood, but there is part of me that really respects him.. He wanted to serve Christ.. Although he was quite hypocritical in many ways.. he wanted them to believe..

no title

Wow, alright, I feel like this entire weekend I have not stoped going for one second. Friday and Saturday I got to spend in the wonderful city of Chicago and then today it was a mix of kayaking, church, homework, and set building. I really hope that my essay was alright... I worked on it for awhile and its a lot better than when it started, but I feel like it still really isnt where I want it. BUT Im still not sure I really understand what Im doing to begin with so... what I have is better than nothing.. :)

Sundays

Well today was so much fun! Softball down at the park with my crazy family and k bell :). And I have to say that I enjoyed working on this essay for some reason. I was dreading doing it then I got started and oh boy my fingers flew. Also I am super excited for our walkabout adventure. I cant believe it is in 2 weeks. Time is just flying by. Senior year is almost done!

Rhetorical Analysis and stuff

I would like to admit that I do not prefer
writing about things I don't like or things
that I don't understand.

I don't know if anyone can relate, but I believe
there are some of you that can.

I love words...Words are some of the most beautiful
things in the world, if they are used correctly.
I understand that there are devices and techniques
but I'd rather not explain them...or analyse them
because I am bad at it.

However...
I would love to say that I happen to be very excited
about the Personal Narrative that we will be doing soon. =D
Although, I don't know the rules or guidelines on this essay
thus far...I am more than excited to be presented with the
information and begin!!!
yay!!!! <3 ha ha

P.S.
I drew an Eye on my hand...with a Heart pupil colored in..with a
white spot in the middle in the shape of a U. =)
haha...get it? haha,
yeah...lame, I know.

dear tonya

i have not found any sollllllllid evidence like we discussed for me to look up. everything is shaky. I may just state something broad like "the amount of pollution created by unimportant and uneeded objects is horrific." idk. sorry about this though, i don't know what else to say!

PWB?

How far are we supposed to be in Poison Wood by Monday? I also want to mention, that this book has been so good. I think that this book is such a good insight into a lot of things, but most importantly ourselves. We sometimes overlook our own 'Rachel' acts, but with this, you can't help but see them. When we make fun of her for blocking things out we act like she is being such a snob, but then how many of us have cared about the tornadoes that have happened this weekend? Interesting isn't it.

School Board

I want to sound as educated as possible when we are presenting to the School Board, so if anyone has any ideas (any convincing arguments or good points) please post and let us know!

Test!

So I could be way off, but I thought that test went really well. I felt like I knew the majority of information being asked so that was good. I could have used more textual evidence but other than that I am feeling fairly confident... which is a first after a quiz/test!
