Reflection #6


Just a week ago my band and me were in Colorado skiing and snowboarding!!! Choir and Orchestra came along with us. I had never seen so much snow in my life. It never stopped snowing the whole time we were there, which was about three days. The snow sparkled and shined. It looked so beautiful that it didn't look real to me. I got so excited when I saw that little flakes of snow were coming down on our charter bus. The mountains surrounding us were covered from top to bottom with pure, white snow. The next day we got dressed in our ski clothes, Jillian looking like a ninja. Getting through the line to rent boots and skis was traumatizing though. It took about two hours to get our skis and boots. When we finally got out to the beginner/lessons place I was bursting with excitement. I had waited on a bus for about 22 hours for this! After wiping out on the last little lesson hill I was ready to go up to the big BUNNY SLOPES! Our guide was awesome and taught us how to turn right and left, which I heard from many of my friends that they didn't get taught this important lesson. I fell a total of two times up on the slope. I had to have help getting back up both times, sadly. It was better than taking off my skis though, which were hard to get on . I loved skiing. That night when I talked to my parents I asked if we could go skiing sometime during the winter and that I already wanted to learn how to snowboard. The next day I went into town with Aimee and Sarah and a few others. We visited a few shops then stopped in a nice little fudge/ice cream store. We were sitting there drinking our drinks when we saw a 30 year old guy building this snowman outside with a HUGE butt. Aimee, Sarah, and me went to some more shops While the others stayed in the shop. When we came back, we found the snow man was definitely a man and had a new addition to him, if you know what I mean. ;) Then we had to head back. We left at about 7 but then got stuck going up the snow covered hill for about two hours. We finally got back home the next day at about 9:30 at night. The trip was absolutely amazing! I loved it and loved going to Colorado with all my friends.

The next week after that was nothing special though. Homework, work, and more homework, thanks to school. :) I enjoyed Mr. Powell's class especially this past week though because we had a "class discussion", which was fun. Other than that nothing special happened, but it wasn't a bad week.

Assignment #6


I believe that the governments(Chinese and Rwanda) are the worst out of all the groups involved. These governments are supporting the genocide in Darfur by providing the Sudan government with weapons and security. Without weapons and support, the killings and other horrible acts commited by the Militant might not be able to happen, but they do have weapons and they do have support. They have support from one of the biggest world powers...China. Some might say that the people that didn't resist are just as bad as the people who are killing the innocent people in Darfur, but they're not. They could have spoken up or done something, but if they had they would've been killed just as quickly or quicker than the innocent people in Darfur. The persons doing the actual killing are the ones to blame. Without support and help from other countries, the Sudanese government would be no where.

Reflection #5

The past two weeks have been pretty good except for the fact that I had to get up early everyday this past week except Monday for sectionals. Everything is going pretty well though. The band has UIL next week and the ski trip is just two weeks away!!!
Anyways, last night I saw Seven Pounds for the first time last night. It made me very sad, maybe even a little depressed. The movie was very well made and had an excellent story, but I did NOT like it because of the way it made me feel. For those of you who haven't seen it don't read the next few sentences because I might ruin it for you. So this guy(Will Smith) accidentally kills seven people in a car accident, including his wife. After that he finds seven people to help. He goes around donating parts of his body to people who need them. He donated half of his liver and bone marrow while he was alive. After he died he gave someone his heart, eyes, kidneys, etc. The way he killed himself those is what saddened me. His pet jellyfish, which he had had for awhile, was the most deadly creature on the planet. You can guess what happened. The fact that he felt he had to make up for those seven lives he distroyed by killing himself made me sad. It also made me want to donate blood right away, but since you can't do that till the age of 16 or 17 I have to wait. It makes me consider whether I should give away my body parts when I die. If it helps people I think I should, but you never know by the time I die they could already have artifical everything(livers, eyes, etc.) Also, this week we had Shattered Dreams. That was an experience I'll never forget. Some people just blew it off as nothing and said the people who participaited got "too emotional". Well you know what? Things like that happen everyday and yes the one we created was fake, but to people who have actually been in a car accident or lost a family member in a car accident know it's not something to just blow off and forget about. Having that happen at school this past week then watching Seven Pounds was kind of creepy to me.
Anyways, I recommend Seven Pounds if you're up for a sad movie!

Assignment #5


I don't really have a favorite band. It usually changes every few months or so. Right now, though, my favorite band is Aerosmith. I first started noticing them after Wayne's World became Aimee and me's favorite movie. Also, Mike Myers has always been one of my favorite comedians and his favorite band is Aerosmith. So after I saw them on Wayne's World I decided to check them out. I liked that they could sing popular songs and also sing meaningful songs too. Most bands just sing songs that people want to hear and that can get on the radio, but have no meaning what so ever. Aerosmith isn't like that. Yes, some of there songs talk about sex and girls and stuff like that, but others are so amazing. Also, all of the band recovered from drug abuse and other things. Steven Tyler, the lead singer, has been married to the same woman for countless years.

But eventually I'll have a new favorite band. That doesn't mean I won't love Aerosmith's music, but I'll just like another band better at the moment. When I was little, Cher was one of my favorite musicians. Her CD was the first CD I bought by myself and for myself. Then when I was in 6th or 7th grade I liked The All-American Rejects, which now seems utterly stupid to me because their music isn't all that good. I liked the Dixie Chicks A LOT when I was in elementary school. When people started bashing them for what they said about President Bush, I got angry and for my current event, cut out a article about it and presented it to the class.

I mainly like classic rock(thanks to my BFF), country, and classical music. I like pop too, but those songs usually get annoying if you listen to them too much. I grew up listening to classical music and it relaxes me. I don't understand people who say they can't stand classical music because it was one of the first KINDS of music there was, so how can you not like it? It formed the music we have today. Classical music can also express feelings that words can't. It can create so many stories and adds feeling to movies.

My dad actually wanted to name me Stevie after Stevie Nicks, but my mother wouldn't let him(thank God).

Reflection #4

So the past two weeks have been good and bad. I'll talk about the week before spring break first. It wasn't the best week, but I don't remember why. Friday, I got quite a bit of homework for over spring break, which made me a little angry, but it's high school, so I better get used to it. It wasn't that we got homework over spring break that made me angry, but the fact that I was leaving on Sunday for Oklahoma and that I had to get most of it done before then, because at the time we planned on getting back on Saturday. In band, my director assigned us FIVE tapes to record over spring break that were due the Monday after we got back. That was what made me really angry. I was infuriated because we were the only band out of four bands that had to do tapes the whole year. I glared at my band director till I couldn't see strait. But that wasn't so bad after I got over it. I think I over reacted just a little bit. Anyways, I'll move onto the next week. SPRING BREAK!!! My dad and me drove up to our new house in Oklahoma, just the two of us. (My mom was working). We had our Uhaul and my dad's pink truck packed to the brim with our stuff. We got our things unpacked and in the house and got things set up, which was fun. We also visited my brother and his family, who live right down the street from the house we bought. Jackson and Nathan are amazing!!! Their personalities are so different, it's very funny to watch the two brothers play. Jackson, whose four, is the smart, laid-back, easy-going child(A.K.A the pleaser). Nathan is the exact opposite. He's very...physical. He's a tough little one. He doesn't always listen to his mother, and thinks it's very funny. Then after we left Tulsa, Oklahima, we drove over to Hammon, Oklahoma, to visit my cousins, Donnie and Bart. Then we came back home and that's where I am right now, enjoying the last two days of my vacation doing the rest of my homework!!!

Assignment #4


What am I passionate about? What am I interested in? Let me state, first of all, that I absolutly hate when people ask me this question. I know that most people love being asked this question because they get to talk about themselves and blah blah blah. But for some reason I just can't seem to answer this question to my satisfaction. I always answer "Oh, I just like hanging out with friends, playing bassoon, reading...", which is what I like to do, but it makes me seem...well...not interesting.
For the first time in awhile, I went to visit my brother and his family, which includes his wife and two sons. Jackson is four and Nathan is two. They're the most wonderful little boys I've met and I LOVE them. Not like, but love them. Jackson is always learning new things and quickly too. Nathan is just learning how to talk, which is unusual to me because Jackson was talking at age one and the only words Nathan can say at age two is "Yesh" and "No". That got me interested in how children learn. How do you teach a kid everything you know? The simple things seem to be the hardest, things you've just known since...forever. Jackson will ask why he has to do something or how you do something and I'm just stuck, I can't give him a good answer because I'm can't explain. Children and how they learn fascinates me.
I'm also very interested in human rights, if you get me started on the topic. My father is a lawyer and protects people's rights, especially the rights of prisoners, when they're violated. He's taught me that no matter what, everybody has rights that are not to be violated, no matter what they have done. Some people would disagree, saying that "prisoners deserve what they get", and "they had their chance". Those statements infuriate me. Is it right to beat a person to a pulp, till they're hurt so bad that they can't move or talk? This happens to prisoners every day. No, I don't think that they deserve that kind of treatment no matter what. Yes, they deserve to be in prison for what they did, but not have their rights be abused.
Last of all, I love playing my bassoon and tenor saxophone. Whenever I play my instrument, I feel happy for some reason. I can't explain. Also, I love my family and animals, especailly my cat Patrick. He's chubby and fat, but I love him. Reading is my favorite hobbie, if you want to call it that. I don't really see reading as a hobbie, but a pass time. Books provide another world for me to escape into, worlds that aren't real except in the imagination.
I'm going to stop typing now and get on to my other homework. Hope you enjoyed that little passage about me. :)

Reflection TRES

The past two weeks have been good. Today was kinda not so good at the end though because in math and teen leardership, the last two periods of my day, we had the student teacher substututing. Her voice was VERY loud and ended up making everyone's brains turn to mush. All the other days of the past two weeks have been great!!! I just got two new goldfish from Tiffany today and we got them a bowl, rocks, food, cleaning stuff, and a little purple flower. Their names are Neville and Lupin...yes...from Harry Potter. I know I'm a dork. Last Saturday I went to Melissa Brown's birthday party! Happy Birthday!!! We went on a scavenger hunt and it was really cold. But I got to eat cake, which I hadn't had in a while, and pizza and icecream and chicken wings. It was tasty. Also, on Sunday I visited Sandy Sparkman. She'd just had surgery on her hip, but she can walk with her walker now!!! Truthfully, I don't remember what went on the week before that...so I just talked about this week!!! Okay that's about it. Bye!!!

Assignment #3!!!


Is it better to fall in love or learn to love? By learn to love I am assuming that means you are forced to love someone. I think falling in love is better than learning to love someone. If you have to "learn" to love someone, that's not real enough. I believe you should be allowed to find someone that's special to YOU, not your parents or any other party. Love should be natural, not artificial. Loving someone takes all of your heart, you can't just take a random person off the street and suddenly love them. It seems to take time and patience to find the one person that you'll truly love.

On the other hand, I also think that if the person you're forced to love or have to learn to love is a generally a nice person, you could learn to love that person as something other than a spouse, but still love them, like a friend. Even if you find your "true love", you're not going to like every single thing about them. Same goes for any person. So if you're learning to love someone, you're not gonna like every little thing about them anyway.

Love is fragile and it shouldn't be chosen for you or something like that. Love usually comes naturally and should be left to its own devises.

2nd Reflection

In English, we are working on a project for the book, Romeo and Juliet. My group is remaking scene five. We chose to make the theme of our script superheros, like Batman(my favorite), Superman, Catwoman, The Green Lantern, etc. We also included the characters from Watchman. In math class we've been learning how to factor! Yay. How much fun...
I've just finished a book called Cujo a few days ago. It's by Stephen King, and was not very scary, but very good. I thought it was well written and kept the reader on the edge of their seats. I've now started another book called The Host. It's taking a little while to get going, but that's okay.
Everything is going great this week. :) Bye

P.S. I can't wait till the trip to COLORADO in MARCH!!!

1st Reflection

The last two weeks of my life, I have been learning about Africa!!! I've learned their economy is not so good. :( Poor Africa. Also, I've been learning about evolution in biology, which has cause some disagreement among my classmates. Some people do not agree with the theory of evolution and have made some distruptive comments in class.
Also, everyone has had to deal with choice sheets the last week or so. This has stressed me out a great deal. My parents and me did not agree on what I should take at first, but we then found a solution. I've had a hard time desiding because what I deside now effects my future. Finally we figured out what classes I will be taking next year.
Other than the things I mentioned above, nothing much has happened the last two weeks. :)

2nd Assisgnment


Global warming has caused schools around the world to change to try to help make the environment better. For example some schools have put in solar panels, to conserve light. Our school keep recycling bins literally everywhere around the school. Instead of just throwing away paper into the trash can, where it never gets reused, we throw our unused paper into the recycling bins that are kept in every classroom. Also, we have many clubs around school that help battle against global warming, such as the Green Club. Our school works to help against global warming everyday. :)

1st Assignment


1st Topic:
What kinds of technology do you use (in school, for entertainment, at home) and how have they changed the way you live? Which new technological innovation would you put in the same catergory as the invention of fire or electricity?

The technology I use most everyday is my Iphone and my Ipod. I don't watch much TV anymore, but I use the computer a lot. In school, we use TVs and computers. At home we use the microwave, phone, TV, lights, and the coffee maker!!! I use my phone to check almost everything from the weather to stocks, it's all right in my phone.
Having all this technology makes life much easier. Microwaves make 5 minute meals, coffee is made quicker, news is spread by the Internet and our TVs, and communication is made easier by having cell phones and the Internet. The down side of having so much technology is it makes us very dependent on it. If something were to happen to our technology, we might be in a state of disaster. Also, watching TV, listening to Ipods, and talking on cell phones all the time affects our hearing, sight, and brain function. We don't play many board games because there are so many game systems, which usually involve staring at the television. This could also cause separation between families.

I would put the Iphone in the same catagory as fire and electricty because it's like a little computer in a compact little case. It has internet, phone, email, clocks, calculators, games, etc. With the Iphone, you can do basically anything on it.

(Picture has to do with Iphone and Politics!!! Yay!)
