SO..my teacher is making us write a blog post on what we LIKE about learning.  I find this to be….quite challenging to say the least. There is nothing to great about learning in my opinion..i mean nothing i LIKE but, I guess i have to think of something !

First, I learning can be quite fun IF the teacher makes it fun. A lot of teachers just talk and tell us to do work, which really doesn’t help much at all. The teachers that get kids involved in learning and stuff like that are the best. I like learning sometimes because it allows us to use our brains to the best of our ability. That may sound a bit corny but yeah I mean it. Also, because of learning, we get to go to school and meet new people so that is always good as well. Although learning can be boring, it should be liked because it gives us many opportunities!!!

March Madness Baby!

June 6, 2010

Hi guys! As you all SHOULD know, its MARCH! And that means MARCH MADNESS…. Well its time for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. This is the best time of year and in many people’s view, the best sports tournament int the world. Personally, I love basketball so I follow this tournament until the end. The first round was played in the first two days of the tournament. My pick to win it all….is Kentucky. I believe they won by 30 today and they are looking good:)

Stay tuned for updates on the tournament!

In my english class…we are reading the novel Dracula and now we are learning about the role of gothic elements in the novel. Some elements include, death, supernatural, etc. We have come to a conclusion that these gothic elements play a huge role in the novel because it gives the reader that chilly feeling you need when reading a scary book.

Loaded With Work…

June 6, 2010

Hey guys! Its about that time of year……. nearing the end of the school year, teachers are giving us tests and projects like never before. I kind of find this to be….ridiculous because we have final exams in two weeks. BUT, whatever, got to deal with it i guess. Well I should be studying rather than updating my blog but yeah. This is always the toughest part of the year and its really time to focus. I hope you guys aren’t as stressed. Well that’s all I got for you. BYE

Sorry about not updating my blog!!! I had my posts on a document on my mac, but just never posted them up. MY BAD. Anyways, my final post of my sophomore year will be about…….yes, a reflection on Ms. P’s English 10 class. At first, I thought Ms. Patterson(my teacher) would be pretty scary. However, I was terribly mistaken. Yes, she can be scary AT TIMES, but pretty much all of the time, shes laid back and really nice. I learned not to trust sparknotes because…….yeah you should just read the actual book. Also, I really developed my writing ability and my ability to analyze quotes and that sort of stuff. DIDLS, literary devices, all that stuff really helped me with my english. Our class was quite small, but we were great. I THINK. Everyone liked each other and we had a great time. I learned how to write essays…comparative essays…and yeah more essays. What  I learned the most was…like breaking down? the passages and yeah. We focused a lot on that and I really gained a lot of knowledge from it. THANK YOU MS P FOR A GREAT YEAR.  I will never forget English 10. Ms. P always made the mood better and she was great. It was simply…a great year, great class.
