Reflection

To be completely honest I actually did read a lot of books this semester. I didn't blog about them really ever or even talk about them much. Some of them might be a little to graphic for school but I thought they were interesting. I like reading sometimes its just not usually interesting to me. I am more of a face to face or see it in a movie if i want to hear a story. I really don't even like texting I would rather talk on the phone. But for this class I sucked it up and found some really interesting books that I knew I could actually finish.

Since this class is over basically I wont be reading much anymore. I just don't have the time for it, and maybe when I get older I will find an interest in it, but as for now its just not there. Sometimes I would read in the middle of the night like around 4. Not on the weekends though just the week days. Then other times I would read in between games or on my way to tournaments. But I just have so many other things I am focusing on it was hard to find a good time to actually read a book, not just look over the words.

The class was fun though, I loved SPELL BOUND! I am going to buy that and watch it whenever I am having a bad day!

Glass 1-156

The book Glass is the sequel to crank. Not only is it completely amazing and intriging, but it is also sending a good message. I love this book already. Its interesting because the main character Kristina, she is the mom, is still a meth addict slut of a mom. I find it funny, but anyways back to the book. She is still hooked on drugs, and preggo, obviously, but I mean what do you expect from someone who has never had a disciplinary figure in her life. The first book told the story of her getting hooked on drugs and addicted to sex, now glass starts up with her after her first child and preggo with another while still addicted to drugs. Its crazy and she met a new guy...another shocker.... who is using her for sex. Its becoming interesting.

I am probably going to finish this book tonight. I reccomend everyone to read this book because its a real wake up call and can show you what STRUGGLE is all about. Yeah.. I definatelly reccomend it to about 94 percent of the homestead population to read, maybe that can give them a taste of the real world haha and show them what the word struggle means. No its not when daddy cant buy you a new BMW... haha okay I am dont ripping on my peers. Good book though the first 150 pages are already getting me hooked.

Anthology Project

My theme for the Anthology Project is Chicago. I chose Chicago because, our school year is coming to an end and I will be a senior next year which means graduation is sooner and Chicago is where I am going to be spending the rest of my life after high school.....Hopefully. Everything about Chicago I love. The good the bad its all important to me. Therefor i decided for my anthology I would do it over something I love, that way I actually have the motivation to do the project.

Osama

I think it is very interesting to see how the came up with a plan to find the most wanted man in the world. I mean its obviously a huge achievement for our country. Although honestly, I cant say I necessarily agree with how most people reacted to it. I understand he should have been killed, and he was. That should have been the end of it. On T.V. you saw everyone celebrating and getting all excited about Osama's death. If you really think about it though, we are celebrating the death of a human being. Now dont get me wrong he deserved to die and was a terrible man who did a lot of wrong doings. But if you have any christian morals, you would not being celebrating a death. I dont know its just my opinion. I mean he is dead and gone now, so we can stop gettin all happy and just move on.

I saw this picture in Piggy Back rides blog and I thought it was very funny. Its like one of those pictures where in your head you are thinking to yourself... FAIL. haha I love those kind of pictures and videos. Sometimes you wonder what people were even thinking haha,.

Migrane

So yesterday I had a migrane. It was my first one that I have ever had and it was the scariest thing of my life. I thought I was dying...literally. Im kind of mad that I had this stupid migrane because now my parents and trainers and coaches are all uptight about me working out and doing so much. Well I cant help that I am so busy, there is just so much to be done. I cant take days off in basketball ill get behind everyone else and then it could ruin my chances of getting a scholarship. And I cant miss volunteering because they need me there and I feel like I would be letting them down by not going plus this world needs a lot of help and since most people dont want to do anything about it, someone has to.

I know I should be focusing on school more I just need to get my priorities straight. All teenagers are stressed out, its normal. Im not over working myself I am just doing more after school activities then the average teenager. Not a big deal, and its no reason for my parents and them to be telling me what I can and can not do it. It could total mess up all my schedules and then I have to replan all my activities which will take more time then needed. So yes yesterday was crazy and I know I should be resting after school today... but I have piano, workouts, and special olympics tonight... Ill rest later :)

Indi

I think it is really cool that Indi is very motivated. Most high school students just want to be young and have fun. The fact that she has a tough goal in life and is not willing to ever give up on it is very inspiring. I dont understand why her parents laughed at the comment about her being someones hero. I think she is easily considered a hero, and not because of her talents but because of her motivation and drive to succeed at something. She is playing a sport she loves and working her butt off. Most students dont do that all they care about is partying and looking cute. She has a good head on her shoulders. That is inspiring to me.
