So it is finally May and I am feeling completely finished with this year. Seventh grade was great and all (especially that half of a year when my table was not aloud to sit together, the zero amount of field trips we took, and getting up at five fifty four every morning to make lunch) … Continue reading Monday Moaning
“I can’t believe they didn’t include the part when they go to court at the end.” “It didn’t even start with Ponyboy getting jumped.” “It cut out the whole ending!” These were just some of the comments I heard at the conclusion of watching the film version of “The Outsiders” on Friday in class. Because, yes, … Continue reading Monday Musings #8: Books vs. Movies
There are a lot of pros and cons about having and using technology in school. Just like many things there are advantages and disadvantages to this. In school, we learn many new things. Technology has helped us do this in many ways. Being able to do research on a computer is so much easier than … Continue reading Monday muse 7
This week I a reading q book called The One. It is apart of the selection series. The author Kierra Cass. It is book three of the selection series. She was the #1 New York Times best selling author. “Charming; captivating, and filled with just the right amount of swoon!” says Kiersten White, New York … Continue reading Book Review: The One
My muse is on book covers. Some of them are way to off topic, like a roller coaster on a math textbook. Some, try way too hard to be deep, like the outsiders cover of a mans chest on a black background in a leather jacket. Only a few I’ve seen are good, like a … Continue reading Monday Musings 7
Envision the most disruptive student you know (if you are that person, I’m happy you are reading this). Now, envision a class of 30 students (Period 7: that is 11 more than our current situation). Now, populate that class of 30 with 25 versions of the Most Disruptive Student You Know. That is a bit … Continue reading Monday Musings #7: MVP Mea Culpa
This weekend was pretty much the same as every other weekend. I played soccer on saturday morning and asked if Peter could come over, but the answer was no. Then I went home, played on the computer, had lunch, played on the computer again, played the saxophone for a half hour, and ate dinner. Then … Continue reading Monday Musings #7
The 2014 NFL Draft draft came to a close this Saturday. The Steelers has the 15th overall pick in the first round. They ended up picking a linebacker out of Ohio State which would not have been my first option because the best overall corner was still on the board. But in total they had … Continue reading Steelers Draft
I walked into Lord and Taylor’s looking for the perfect necklace for my mom. She didn’t like anything flashy or shiny. She liked things that were simple, yet beautiful. I walked up to the sales person and told her that my budget was $150. She lead me to a row of necklaces that were an … Continue reading Buying a Mother’s Day Present
“There’s no such thing as coincidence.” Whether you believe in this or not, it is likely that you have, at some point in your life, experienced a “seemingly planned sequence of accidentally occurring events” (that’s Webster’s definition). I have – with some being more faith-affirming than others – and have been musing about a few … Continue reading Monday Musings #6: Coincidence?
My team was starting with the ball in the first half. I kept the soccer ball a foot away from me in clear sight, waiting for the ref’s whistle. I knew that as soon as I heard that high pitched sound I would be surrounded by my opponents. I heard the whistle blow and bounced … Continue reading First Goal of the Season
Happy Cinco De Mayo! It’s that time of year again when the Spanish people celebrate. But why? We commonly think of Cinco De Mayo as “The Fifth of May”. It’s actually the date that the Spaniards won a huge conflict against France called The Battle of Puebla. However, they were captured by France later. … Continue reading Musing for 5/5/14
One day, I met the doctor. Yes, that’s his name, the doctor. He has a time machine and teleporter called the tardis. It is disguised as a 1920’s police call box. It can teleport and go through time. It is small on the outside but huge on the inside. He and I go through time … Continue reading Monday Musing 6
For me hobbies are extremely important because it is a huge stress reliever and also is a social outlet. Hobbies are often thought of as activities for people who lead quiet, relaxed lives. However, people with full, busy, even stressful lives may need hobbies more than the average person, and benefit greatly from having hobbies in … Continue reading Importance of Hobbies
I dont get why good people are killed or hurt for no reason. It just doesn’t make sense to me. People have no reason or point of killing or hurting a good person for no reason. People deserve their lives as much as everyone else in the world does. I heard a story on the … Continue reading People getting killed for no reason
There is now only 4 days until the NFL Draft. The Steelers,my favorite team, pick 15th which is the earliest in many years. If everything went perfectly,I’d want them to get Ha-Ha Clinton Dix out of Alabama. He’s a safety/cornerback who can be a huge and much needed upgrade for the Steelers secondary.
