Controversial Issue and My Weekend

I'm just going to start out by saying I am very glad my groups controversial issue is over with! We had plenty of time to work on it and got it done on time, but I was pretty nervous after hearing quite a few students say that they didn't know how much of an "issue" it was really going to be since a lot of people feel the same way about it. I'm really glad that we had questions that got people talking and understanding why abortion is and has always been an issue not only in America but all over the world. Overall I feel we did a pretty good job while trying to stay on topic and keep the conversations going, so I hope we got a good grade! :)
As of my weekend, once again it was a pretty crazy and tiring one. At the end of the day Friday, my sisters and I had to hurry home and get ready to leave for Lansing. Once we arrived we watched the Michigan v. Michigan State wrestling meet. Michigan took the win with a final team score of 24-15 (I believe). I was very nervous as I watched my cousin Dan and his friends wrestle some tough matches. I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I could go with my family. :) We then went to Denny's to eat some dinner/breakfast. I shared an omelette with my dad along with some toast and a hash brown. We didn't leave until around midnight and arrived home around 2:00 in the morning. Saturday I woke up at 10:30 and went to Sabbath School with my family. Later in the evening on Saturday, my sister Kaylee and I got ready for the Sadie Hawkens Dance as my sister Kirstie painted our nails and her friend Carly did our hair. We took some pictures and then went to the dance around 8:30. It was pretty fun but I was quite tired. We then went to my church's youth lock-in after the dance and played sardines for a little while. Overall my weekend was fun and now I am just relaxing at home and hopefully will work on my portfolio quite a bit today. :)

Abortion!!

So we had our Controversial Issue today, and it wasn't very CONTROVERSIAL! It stinks when everyone in the class thinks the same way! Its ok though, im not mad, I just thought it was kind of funny!

not a fan...

i thought 1984 was such a good book but everyone said to just wait until we read johnny got his gun. everyone said it was so great but i just cant get into it....at least not yet.
i am hoping the big starts to pick up a little bit and get more interesting soon!!

Not Enough Time

I am starting to really hate the tests that we have been having. I know that my structure needs to be worked on but I just hate the feeling I get when I see the questions and feel like I will not have enough time to answer it properly. I see on my paper that it says to outline but wouldn't that take up quite a bit of time because on my outline I would have to write topics to write about plus I would then have to write about each topic. I know I need to get better at it but I just always feel pressured with the time limit but I know there isn't anything we can do about it. I have been taking good notes but and I know the material, its just that I can't get it all on paper. I know I would be able to explain my thoughts verbally but I need to work on doing it on paper. Hopefully I get way better at that.

IDK?

I don't really understand what a "particular thing" is. I am not really sure if I have one. I don't keep things from when I was little. The longest thing I have ever had is a pet I guess. I've had this cat for 10 years. So I suppose that would have to be my particular thing. Haha. I also love my family like Amy said! :D

my particular thing.

In class I wasn't sure I had a particular thing, I didn't know what they were or what they could be. After leaving class, I was left thinking and wondering what is my particular thing? Then I realized my particular thing as to be my family. I have two older brothers and one little sister. We are all spaced in out in age, but we all get along great, for the most part. Along with my parents. Though they may be split they still talk, and remain friends. Whenever I think of my childhood, it always has my family involved. They are my particular thing. (:

I MISS WINSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it is ok that I am not typing up my particular thing. I already shared it in class, so I don't think I need to share it again! Instead, I wanted to talk about how much I dislike Johnny Got his Gun and like 1984. I really miss the layout of 1984. I like knowing what is going on in Winston's head, but also getting to know other characters in the book, and seeing how they interact. I dislike in Johnny how we are constantly in his head! I want to know what other characters in the story are feeling, not just Joe! 1984 was so much easier for me to read because it was fast moving and kept my attention. Now, I find myself struggling to read through the chapters because either I am confused, or just bored! I MISS WINSTON!! I am sure that Johnny is a great book, and maybe I will grow to somewhat like it in the end, but for now I am NOT a fan!!
