Blog Post!
So today I had a show it was the New Albany Symphony show and my dance studio had to dance in a couple of their songs! It was fun for the most part but kinda stressful because I had a 15 minute quick change from looking like a salsa dancer into a soldier! After the show my dance teachers and there daughters and my mom and I all went to Rusty Bucket and it was really good! I am really glad I remembered to do this because right after I'm done my mom and I are going to go to Target and do some shopping because it is open until 1 tonight!! In class I thought the movie was really good I actually came home and told my mom about it! And that's not something I would do with school movies! Ummm... I don't no what else to talk about! I am so excited I am on break and that Christmas is coming because I really need some new clothes! I also want a new Ipod touch but I'm not allowed to get any more electronics because I always seem to break them, or lose them :( I thought that the holiday Marathon was pretty good and I actually laughed a couple times! So I dont have anything else to talk about so I will just leave it at that!! I hope everyone has a great break and a happy New year!! See everyone in 2011!

The story Nightjohn is about a girl named Sarny who lived in a hut on a plantation. On the plantation you got to eat two times a day from a wooden trough, and then they had to get back to work right away. A man came to the plantation named Nightjohn whose back was filled with scares from his old whipping. One day Nightjohn can around asking if anyone had some tobacco. He found Sarny and asked her to trade him for tobacco, but Sarny didn’t know what he would want in return. Nightjohn said he would trade her the letters A, B, and C for a lip of chew. Sarny didn’t know what letters where or what they meant but she wanted to learn. So she waited for her mammy to go to sleep then when out for her lesson with Nightjohn. He taught her the letter A by drawing it into the ground and saying this sounds like “ayyy” or “ahh.” All night that was all she could think about. In the story it also talks about others sad stories including Alice’s, she was caught wandering and was whipped until her back was ripped and bleeding. She was then left to hang there until the next day. Sarny’s mammy when out and covered her back and when she was able to get down the next morning mammy helped her clean the cuts. A couple days later Nightjohn teaches Sarny the letter B, explaining it sounds like “bee.” While in the middle of the lesson Mammy comes out of and yells at Nightjohn for trying to teach her to read and said “Child, they’ll cut your thumbs off if you learn to read.” Then Nightjohn begins to tell his story. He said he ran away and got clean; he ran all the way to the north but then came back. Mammy and Sarny were confused and asked him why he came back. He said to teach reading and writing so that they can write about their time at the plantation. Mammy then moved back and Nightjohn began with the letter C.
The next story is Malcolm X, he was a black boy who was gangling and tall, liked basketball but wasn’t very good at it, and had a brother who was a great fighter. Malcolm once thought that since his brother was a good fighter then he should try it to. So he was thirteen when he signed up for his first fight. He was paired up with a white boy names Bill Peterson, and was down pretty fast. After this he went into hiding so no one could make fun of him and then decided he should try and fight Bill one more time. This time he lost again and it was probably the shortest “fight” in history. At school one day Malcolm was being a troublemaker and put a thumbtack on one of the chairs and then was expelled for doing so. He was told he was going to be sent to reform school when he was thirteen years old, but ended up going to a detection home in Mason, Michigan. The lady in charge was Mrs. Swerlin and her husband and they were very good people. They had a white cook-helper named Lucille Lathrop and her husband’s name was Duane and he worked somewhere else. In the classroom people said the word “nigger” in a common sentence and Malcolm didn’t think they were giving him the credit for having the same sensitivity and intellectuality as them! One day she finally told him that he was going to enter Mason Junior High School and he and his friends the Lyonse’s were the only town Negroes. In school he liked English and history the most and disliked math! Malcolm says basketball was a big think in his like and they traveled places to play. Years later he visited Boston and saw for the first time a black-white couple strolling down the street holding hands. He also for the first time in his life had restlessness with being around white people. Malcolm wanted to be a lawyer when he got older but his teacher Mr. Ostrowski said to him that he needed to be realistic, and this made Malcolm upset, because he was one of the best students in the class with the highest grades. In the end he moved to Boston and became “successful.”
The Great Debaters and Nightjohn were similar in the way that one of the characters in the book nightjohn they witnessed a Negro being lynching. In The Great Debate movie the team of debaters was driving and drove up to a spot where a Negro was being hung and burned to death for no reason at all! And when the people spotted them they ran after the car but the team got away. Malcolm X was similar because both the Negros were told they couldn’t do anything but then ended up doing great in the long run. Also because in all three they were treated different because of their color. In the end all three were treated badly for different and similar things including, smarts, color, and many others.

Well today I went to go get a picture with all of my younger cousins today so we can give my grandma a picture of us for Christmas. And then my sisters and I had to go up to my Moms work and meet my dad there so he could take us home and my mom could go to work. Then on the way home we had to stop at the High School to drop of my sister who is having practice of some sort! And then i drove home :) I have had my temps for a week exactly!

Wait one second i am going to get some food cause i have dance this morning from 12 till 3 but we finished our dance so it was a good practice and all i had was frosted flakes this morning!

Late blog post :/
Alright so I am very late on this blog post! But it has just been a busy week and i totally forgot about it! Anyways the trial is not that bad! I am doing the Andrea Yates trail, its about a mom who kills her 5 fives in the bathtub :( its pretty sad! I like how we have something due everyday because if we didnt then i would wait till the last minute to do everything. But i also disagree with Mr. Potter because i brought in a folder and it didnt have thing in the middle then he told me i could bring in one tomorrow so i did and he told me he wouldnt count it!! Ughh thats already 5 points off of a writing project which is not my thing already! So I am already on my 3rd paragraph for the rough draft and I think that is pretty good but i prob have about 6 to go! I have a 7 page outline and i have onlye been through three of my pages! This project seems like its going so slow! I have been typing for about 13 mins now and i dont no why but my typing is really slow today! This morning i did not want to get up at all and I have dance untill 9 tonight!!! :/ But OHH i forgot i am soooo scared about what i have heard about the thunderstorms tonight! I am not afraid of them when i am somewhere else but when i am at my house i am because my back yard is filled with trees! Its pretty scary! Anyways its been 3 more minutes and my time is now done so i am going to get back to work on the rough draft! Good Luck to everyone on the projectt!!

Okay so now that we got the whole thing settled on what day it is due! I have it typed by Monday! Wonderful!! I don't no why i thought that they were due by Friday but i guess i should keep thinking that so i don't turn any more in late. Alright so the reason this one is late for real, is because i just got home from Disney world! I left on Thursday and flew back today and didn't have a computer for the weekend! So, Disney was really fun we went to all of the parks except for Orlando studios because we didn't have time and it costs more! But we rode basically everything we could using up the whole day we had! 2 of the 3 days we were at parks from 8 in the morning until midnight because there were magic park hours! My whole family went and the main reason we went was because my dance studio was putting on a show in downtown Disney and i was in it! It was amazing everyone stopped to watch and we had so much fun! Brb dinner! Okay I'm back! So back to Disney the show was so much fun! We also did a work shop taught by professional dancers and it was amazing we learned three dances that they dancers do in real Broadway shows! The only think i didn't like about the trip was that we were so busy! We didn't have any time to hang out at the pool so the only time i got to swim was when we got there on Thursday because we didn't do anything that day! And late Sunday night because the parks were closed! All in all it was a wonderful vacation and im not excited to go back to school tomorrow but oh well!
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Oh darn! I forgot about the blog post just like i said I was going to! And now its Sunday and that's like 10 points off or something crazy like that! Anyway I think Mr. Potter forgot to remind us on Friday which is prob. why i forgot! So right now i am doing history homework and i have a test tomorrow and i have no clue what I'm doing! Its not going to be good! So I started this blog post at 1:50 and it has already been 5 Min's!! Woot woot only ten to go! Anyways homecoming was amazing! I had so much fun and it was everything i was hoping for! Sooo... I really don't no what i want to talk about! Ohh how about our new essays don't those sounds fun! I am doing mine about the mom who drowned her 5 kids and its pretty sad! Alright it is now 2:10 which means 20 mins but kinda got distracted watching camp rock lol! I am babysitting my little sister! So i think i might go apple picking with a few people today in a little cause it is such a nice day out! so i think i have like 5 mins left! I don't no what to talk about. I am kinda glad that we don't have any reading to do! But now we have to write something which isn't much better! Alright i think i am done for the day! Even though it is two days late. I think this is prob my worst blog post ever! But that's okay because i wrote for 15 mins and that is all that matters!!!!!

Another post!
Okay so i have a story about why I didn't have my post up yesterday! But i cant complain because I had all week to do it and i didn't! But anyways so on Friday I went from the school to bob Evans with my friend Brook because we had to be back at the school at 5 so i didn't want to go home just for like 30 minutes! So after that I went back to the school and got on the bus with the varsity cheerleaders and went to their game. They lost and it was freezing cold but i still had a lot of fun because there were deep fried oreos!! yum! Ok so after the game i rode the bus back and had to go over to Brooke's house to spend the night because she had to take me to the JV game in the morning so i could cheer! And of course when i got there her Internet was not working and I'm not joking! So yeah that's my story for the day! :) So about the book I don't get why everyone in the past says it was that bad! I didn't think it was at all. It might have been because maybe not all teachers read it to the class and I think that Mr. Potter reading it made it more entertaining! I am so glad there is spell check on this thing! Just thought i would throw that out there! Anyway i think i am done for the post this week! And i cant wait for 15 Min's of typing next week! jk ;) I acually think it helps my typing skills lol! Well see everyone at school!

3rd blog
So i am sitting on the couch about to watch Amazing Race when i remember i still have to do my blog post! I have a feeling i am going to forget one of these days and these things are going to get pretty annoying my the end of the year! Today I went shopping for my homecoming dress with my friend Lindsey Driver. We were at Macy's for like 2 and a half hours lol! We had a lot of fun and tried on a ton of dresses! I didnt end up getting one but my mom is going back to the store tomorrow and look at the 2 that i really liked! I also hung out with my boyfriend and we played games with my sister for the whole night!!! So that was my day and it has only been 6 minutes!! 15 minutes goes by very slow when you have to write about things! So about english class! I think we are going to have fun this year! And the book were reading isnt that bad I am kinda getting into it! And im glad we are reading it in class a little or else i feel i would not be reading it! So it has been 20 mins but that is only because lindsey just called me wondering what to do about our social studie's project due tomorrow! Lol! So we finally start amazing race them my mom says to pause it because she had to go upstairs and make sure my sisters where in bed! Then she comes down stairs and we start it again and then she says her and my dad need to plan there week! Oh my goodness, we are never going to start it!! Well i think my 15 minutes are done so I will see everyone at school tomorrow!!!!

Another Blogg!
Okay so I am really mad right now! All of a sudden the link went off of the blog I was writing and totally erased the whole thing!! Ah I was finished with it to and just was about to click save and now its gone! Oh goodness, anyways I was talking about in my last post about how its my sisters 7th birthday today! And we are going to have a party for her later today! But the one thing I hate about parties is all the cleaning you have to do before people come over! But I told my parents I had an excuse to get out of cleaning because I had to do homework!! haha. I was also talking about how i have to dance for 2 hours before the party! But it will be fun because we are learning a new dance! Anyways I think the book were reading isn't that bad! I kinda like it! and about the short chapters thing i was talking about on Thursday, I don't know why i don't like books that have long chapters! I think it is because I have a pet peeve about stopping a chapter in the middle! So yeah I'm just a little weird like that!! Also Friday was so much fun! My picture of Boo was probably the worst in the class! Oh well i know i am a bad drawer! So it has been more then 15 minutes AGAIN! Hopefully I can save this one!

Blog
So I have already done my typing for 15 minutes today but i decided to write a little more just in case Mr. Potter doesn't believe me! So I just got done writing all 5 of my paragraphs done and it is such a relief because I was freaking out last night that I was not going to get everything done! But i did and I have also commented on someone elses blog and read a couple others! I personally like Jordan's because you can like imagine what she is doing lol! So i started this blog at 3:54 and it is now 4:00 and the time is going by very slowly! I really don't like how this blogging thing does not capitalize your i's to I's! It really annoys me!! Look its 4:01 another minute down! You can do some cool stuff on the blogger thing! Like i can highlight stuff in any color!!! I don't get why there is a bottom to put a line through your words thought! You can also put in a picture and a video! sweet! well it is now 4:06 so I think I am going to go work on math homework!!! See ya! :)
First Post
So right now i am sitting at the computer eating an egg and thinking about what I should write about! I could write about how I havent even started my three body paragraphs for the essay do tomorrow! Or i could right about how Mr. Potter is the best teacher ever Laugh out Loud! Ummm. I could write about what I told Mr. Potter i would write right about which is that he is a lier and that green paper was not made of a full tree! I forget what else I was I was going to say about him! But oh well. So I hate poems, not so much reading them but the writing part is what im not good at! So I am glad we are off that topic! My favorite type of reading is Non- Fiction and I dont no why, I think it is because everything is real and i would rather spend my time reading that them something made up! Well my 15 are done and my first post is as well! See everyone at school tomorrow!
