Ade's of May
So today is May 15th, and its Sunday, and I have had a pretty good weekend! I am going to start this blog out by saying I really like the book were reading! I think it is 100% better then Caesar. I also think I is a good thing that all the classes read Caesar before we read this book! I love that it is funny, and makes us actually laugh. Well thats my little thing about school, now my weekend. Yesterday I went to the musical and it was amazing! Anyone who didnt go really missed out on a great show! Even if you dont like musicals I bet you would have liked it! The night my friend Sammi came over and spent the night! And I got to sleep in, which feels amazing! I can not wait till summer so I can wake up whenever I feel like it!! After I got up my Grandma came and picked my younger sister and I up to go to the circus! It was great and the people there are so talented! I makes me want to be a dancer in the circus for a few years! I just feel like that would be so much fun just to travel around and perform. Well its been 15 minutes see everyone tomorrow!

May 8th
So today is May 8th and it is mothers day! I ate so much food this morning and for some reason I got up early at like 9:45, which I know is not early for some of you but for a girl that likes to sleep in untill 11 and 12 on the weekends, its pretty early. Yesterday I had my family birthday party and it was pretty good and I got some money and a few shirts! On my birthday (May 4th) I went to school got home and had to clean my room... Not what I wanted to do on my birthday! But it was very much needed. After that I opened my presents and got a Ipod touch, and itunes gift card, a forever 21 gift card, a cord that plays my ipod in the car and a car ipod charger! After I opened my presents my family, my aunt and her daughter, and my uncle and his son all went out to a Japanese stake house! It was soooo good, but our cook wasnt that interesting but oh well. Oh yeah I also forgot to mention that it ws my first time ever going to a Japanese stake house. And everyone thinks thats weird but it is all because my mom has a sensitive stomach and when she ate at one in mexico she got sick so she has never been to one again. But I wanted to go so she agreed! So to relate to school, I didnt think the test was that hard!! I am very glad I studied the vocab because there was a lot on there. There were only a few questions that I really had no clue to! But it has been 15 minutes so I am going to go do something... Not sure what, but I am tired of being on the computer! See everyone in class tomorrow!

Blog
So I have been forgetting to do this blog for a while and I am at the computer so I am going to write it now so I dont put it off again. So my weekend was good and I hung out with a lot of people! I went to go see a couple movies and then watched a couple at home. I also had a dance competition that took up most of the weekend though I danced on Thursday and Sunday and had to go in on Friday to be a captain. As a captain I have to help the dancers with anything they need, and I have to run there dances so that they are ready by the time they have to go on stage. I am feeling much better this weekend though which is good because I felt horrible!! Well I dont know what else to talk about and I am kinda glad that the year is almost over and I wont have to write anymore of these blogs. There not that big of a deal but 15 mins is a long time and I could be doing other stuff!! haha Sooo in school I still dont understand Caesar it just confuses the heck out of me and I am really scared for the test! I have studied the vocab a lot but I am just scared about knowing these people! Well it has been 15 mins so I am going to get off... I cant wait for tomorrow! :) Since it is my birthday wootwoot!

Blog
So today is Easter which I would hope everyone knows! And it was an alright day I dont feel very well and Im not sure what it is! I have had this cough for like a month and a half and it wont go away! And now my head is starting to hear and I have a sore throat! I hate being sick, not fun at all! Well I got a lot of candy today and some gum! Which I needed really bad, because I hate going to school and not having any gum with me! I just realized that mostly all of my sentences end in exclamation points! haha I dont usually do that but of well. So what else to talk about... umm I just got back from my grandmas house and there was a bunch of food but I didnt eat that much because I wasn't feeling very well!
Anyways about school now! Well more specifically English. As everybody knows we are reading Caesar and it is like reading a different language! Im usually pretty good at understanding things but for some reason I just can not get hooked into the play! Most of the time I want to read lines but in this play I would rather listen to others because not understanding, and reading something I have no clue what Im talking about is a little hard! Well it has been 15 minutes and I am about to go to the store to get some hair dye and some film for my camera so I can tape something for my intro to tv class! I will see everyone in class tomorrow...

My weekend was also good I am going to be super tired tomorrow though because I have gotten no sleep all weekend! Today I really dont know what to talk about! I just want to go to bed and not write a blog. Sooo for my birthday I am getting a snake hopefully lol! I like them soo much and I want a ball python. We went to this place called Captive Born Reptiles and I held a bunch of them and found out they are getting baby ones next month for only 50 dollars. So I think Im going to get one of the babies! Im really excited! Now I dont no what to talk about ohh about school. I can not follow Cesar the wording and how the talk is a little to much for me! And Mr. Potter, why do you make us draw! It is not art class and the reason why I dont take art class is because I cant draw!! Well it has been about 15 minutes I think I kinda forgot to look what time I started but I feel like it has been long enough. So I will see everyone tomorrow Im class!!

Blog
So my blog is going to be about spring break!! I had the best time! I went with my friend stephanie and we had a great time. The first couple days were really sunny. We were in Orlando so we were not close to a beach but we layed out by the pool for a couple hours every day. But it was crazy hot outside so after an hour you had to go in the pool. We left on Friday to get to Orlando and then on Sunday we drove to Daytona so we could have a few days of the beach! It was amazing just to be outside with out wearing a jacket! After to nights at Daytona, we went back to our hotel in Orlando! With out going para sailing though.. :( We were really sad because we had been planing on it all week. And right when were about to go we call and they say they are closed because of the wind! We were really mad but instead we just went to get our last tan on the beach again. Because on our way back to Orlando we were in the middle of a horrible storm.. Well actually a tornado. The tornado never actually touched down where we exactly where we were but it was still really windy and rainy. It rained for the rest of the day and the next day. So we had a game day where we just played boggle and card games the whole day! It was a lot of fun. Then on Friday we had to come back... to 20 degree weather... not fun! Well that was my spring break and it was amazing! Cant wait till its warm out again!

Maximum Family
Dear Reader,
The book “Maximum ride” is about 6 kids who were taken at birth and experimented on. They come together when Jeb rescued them from the “School” which is the place where they were experimented on and put in cages. Jeb then mysteriously disappeared and the oldest kid Max became in charge. She because the mother of the family who takes care of all the others while keeping them safe from the white coats, and the erasers. The white coats are the people who experimented on them and they are trying to capture them so they can do more tests. The erasers are half humans but also half wolf. They were also created in the “School” but are trained to kill and capture the kids. Max, Izzy, Gasman (Gazzy), Nudge, Fang, and Angle can all fly, while Angle and Nudge also have more powers like reading minds and breathing under water. One day Angle gets taken away from the family by the white coats, and the journey begins. The family makes there way to the “School” to save Angle. They run into a few problems but get through them all and save her. Angle tells the group that she heard them talking about an institute in New York where all of their information is. The group runs into the erasers many times while on there way to the institute, but eventually get there. A voice in Max’s tells her where to go but also to keep an eye out for Fang because he may not be who the group thinks he is. Max listens to the voice and it leads her and the rest of the group into a sewer in New York , then into a door, down the steps, and into a room that looks just like the “School.” Max hopes on a computer and starts to search but the computer has a password. The group guess’s everything but without any luck. Then Nudge touches the computer and closes her eyes, then starts saying different letters and numbers. Max types them into the computer and the computer comes to life. That’s when Nudge learns her new talent. While Max is on the computer trying to find out information about where they came from, and who there parents are. The rest of the group keeps an eye out for any Erasers or White coats. After she is done she prints the papers, and the group finds more kids that were experimented on. Fang and the group let them out of their cages and start to lead them back up the stares into the sewer. Max then hears a voice behind her and it is Ari an eraser, and Jeb’s son. Ari and Max then get into a huge fight and in the end Max wins by snapping his neck. The family goes to the park to read the information that she found, and everyone finds out who there parents are, where they are now, and where they were born, except for Max.
The theme I found that went best with the book is family. This theme is portrayed through out the story very well and that is the reason that I picked it. The group of kids in the book are not really related except for two. But they come together and become a family, keeping each other safe, and being there for one another. They are also in it together probably more then a real family might be. Because they have real danger in there life’s, and they are trying to keep each other alive and happy.
Sincerely, Kristen Gregory

blog
So another week has gone by and another blog is being posted. Which means another week is about to start. Oh do I wish weekends were longer. I have had a very very busy weekend. I was at a dance Competition all weekend. And when I say all weekend I dont mean a few hours each day I mean I was there from 9 till 9 on Saturday and 7 till 8 Sunday! And I didnt even dance on Saturday, I am captain which means I had to come in and run every ones dances and help out with the teachers, getting the groups together and making sure everyone is looking the same. And then on Sunday I did 6 dances, it may not seem a lot but it is!! To add on top of that I also had a choir concert in the middle of the competition I was supposed to be at the high school at 2 but I went on stage for dance at 2:40 so we drove, fast to the high school and I surprisingly made it on stage in time to sing, and then we had to rush out as soon as I was done singing to go back and finish my dances! Everything worked out though, all the running around payed off and everyone from my studio did a great job. So now to relate to school for a little bit since I am almost done with this blog. The book I am reading is good so far, even though im only on like page 30. But it was recommended to be by my good friend and my younger sister! So I new it had to be good. I also to not understand the project at all so I will have to make sure to ask Mr. Potter about that tomorrow! Uhhh we have school tomorrow and I have to wake up at 6 again... Oh well you gotta do whatcha gotta do! See everyone tomorrow!

Short story!
“Make me a bagel” Mia screamed at the toaster. The toaster hasn’t been working at its best lately and I, Rachael am supposed to no just know how to fix everything and do it myself. As the house chimed and said the Date “July 4 2100” we knew we had a lot to do. I yelled down at Mia telling her to tell the stove to make her some eggs instead. But as a reply instead of the usual comeback of “I don’t want to!” Or “No, you come fix me some!” I got shivers down my spine and a silence so evil and pure came over me. I called again, no answer. We were home alone today like almost every other day and we were supposed to be getting the fireworks together. After the weird moment of silence I went on my way getting the fireworks together and ready, thinking that Mia probably was just outside feeding our dog Sadie, pushing the button so that the house would water the flowers, or playing with her friends! So after I was done getting the biggest fireworks I put them in the machine. The machine is something my dad made he is an inventor and that’s how we get the money to get the biggest fireworks in town. My dad invents the best new things that my mom puts the machines into people’s houses. My mom is also home designer, teacher, and works at the bank although everything is done with cards. She is a very busy person along with my dad so that’s why we don’t see them much. This new machine my dad recently made is amazing. You stick it in the fireplace, put the fireworks in it, and the fireworks come straight out of the top of the chimney with a guaranteed result that it will not blow up your house. As I finish putting in the fireworks the house tells me “You’re all done,” that means I put them it right and the house isn’t going to blow up. Moments later the doorbell rang and the bird, Millie calls out “Get the door, Get the door” very, very loudly imitating my sister I bet. As the door unlocks when I touch the handle and as I start to twist the door says “Hello” and my sister stands there with bloody hands. She has no scratches on her body I get really confused. “Mia what happened” I asked. She doesn’t respond at first then just says “Help.” Mia looks like she is in shock and I start to get very, very nervous. I frantically start running around the house pressing all the buttons to lock the doors, and the house starts to bring out first aid things on wheels to my sister. I ask her “Are you hurt? What’s the matter?” All she does is close her eyes.”I’m calling 911” I tell her. She grabs my hand “You cant do that that” she yells “Why not?” I ask “Its not his fault he didn’t mean to” “Who is he?” I ask in fear “Idk” Mia says “but it’s not his fault.” “You have to tell me” I tell her “Or I can’t help you.” Rachael doesn’t say a word. So I reach for the phone to call mom and dad. I wait on the phone for what seems like forever but I get no answer. I try my mom next. Still no answer, so I tell Mia to go get in the shower and I will stay in there with her, since we are both scared and both want to be alone. As I sit in the corner waiting for Mia to finish I get a call from my dad.”Hello” he says “Yes dad? Its Rachael please hurry and get home! Sadie’s dead in the back yard I don’t know what happened to Mia she just came into the house with blood on her hand!” I say no even giving my dad anytime to say anything back. “I will be right there” He says “I left work early today so I will be home soon” This was weird of my dad! He never leaves early from work. Especially this early, the house just said it was 2:00 pm and he is not supposed to get off of work until 8. I just go with it not thinking anything about it. Then remember I did that for Mia and now the dog is in the back yard dead and Mia is in shock. “There really isn’t a reason to be scared about this one though, I mean everyone has short work days, I think?” I say to myself in my head. I don’t want Mia to get any more stressed, or nervous then she already is. “Who was on the phone” Mia asks. “I was just dad he says he is coming home from work” I tell her. “Ok good” is all Mia says. Mia gets out of the shower and her 8 year old self who still doesn’t care what others see on her, doesn’t even worn me to look the other way. After she gets dressed the doorbell rings its charm again. Scaring us both and Mia asks “Is that dad? How did he get home so early?” I don’t know what to say to her because I think it is quite odd myself. But I go to the door and open it, my dad stands there with the worried face any dad would have on their face. He asks us all about what happened and Mia finally tells me the whole truth. “I was playing in the back yard by myself just enjoying the day when this man comes up and just shoots Sadie. I don’t know why I told you not to call the cops. I was just scared I didn’t know what to do I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Says Mia. “I ran to the side of the house, and wanted to come back inside but I just stayed in a ball on the side of the house, and then ten minutes or so later, I went to check on the dog. She was dead I touched her body and that is how I got all of the blood on my hands.” “Don’t be sorry” I tell her. “Your young and I knew you were scared I would have been frightened if I was in that situation” Then I ask my dad if he knew what happened “I don’t know” he says “but I have always hated that dog so its okay.” Mia and I gasp. We always thought Dad loved Sadie. She was such a good dog. She would always come when she was called, and would never run away or get into trouble. I catch Mia staring at something on my dad leg. It looks like blood. I ask Mia secretly “Did you get blood on something?” I ask. “No I came into the house talked to you but didn’t put my hands on anything and then went into the shower.” She whispers. “Then what’s on his pants” I ask. “I don’t know” I tell her. I start to get really scared and start thinking to myself if my dad really could have done this. I don’t like to think of the thought but the sound of the door bell rings again. Mia and I jump in or seats. I go up to get the door but it opens before I get there. When It opens there is my mom, standing with a gun in her hand.

Blog
So I was at my friends house on Friday and got on her computer and commented on Jordan's blog but it would not work at all and now I have to get points taken off. Uhh I dont like having time limits on these thing because sometimes when you don't forget it still doesn't work! But oh well im watching Off the Map right now its my new favorite show! lol but i will be right back I always forget to look at what Mr. Potters blog is! So my favorite movie? Huh not sure when it comes to movies I always forget which ones! I would have to say that I love the movie House Bunny! And no every single line lol and then my new favorite movie is Just go with it! It takes a lot for me to laugh in a movie but I laughed out loud haha! But I favorite sad movie would have to be Dear John I saw it with Rachael and really liked it! So now off of Mr. Potters idea my day was great! I had a dance competition and it felt really good to be on stage again! Oh yesterday I went to go see River dance downtown with my friend Stephanie! And it was really really good. It is like a show with tappers and Irish dancers! lol Well I'm going to bed thank goodness for the long weekend :) See everyone on Wednesday!

Waste of time!
So my biggest waste of time is Call of duty! Yes i play it and im still not very good but i find it a lot of fun! I usually do the combat training lol and get about 120 kills because its so easy! But I play all the time with my friend Abby Hersey and we talk with each other because I have to Kinects and she has a head set! I agree with Mr. Potter that video games are a big waste of time! And i mean i dont do it all the time because I have no free time anyway but i play at night and totally dont no what time it is!! Another thing i think is a waste of time is sleeping in I no that sometimes you have to, or just want to on a weekend and trust me i am a very late riser on the weekends but the days I do get up at a decent time I feel like there is so much more to the day! I mean if you think about it if you usually wake up at 12 and wake up at 10 that 2 hours more of the day you have! To bad I like sleeping so much! So other than Mr. Potters idea I have had an okay week I was sick on Wednesday and am still sick today but im at school but just want to sleep! Right now I am in intro to TV class and we are doing nothing because he is taking people into the studio to teach them how to work the equipment. I thought it would be a good idea to do something that would save me sometime tonight! Also so I don't forget! So it has been 15 minutes already and the period isn't over yet! Uhh I want to go waste time and sleep :) See everyone in 2 periods i guess lol and have a great weekend!! :)

Blog #2
So my weekend has been interesting! I have had a lot of fun hanging with friends and family! And got a huge Bruise on my knee from trying this new move in dance. You have to sit on your knees and swing into a back bend and then go all the way over to your knees again!! It was greatt (not)! Oh i forgot to tell you that your feet aren't on the ground in the back bend! Its a lot harder then it sounds like if you can even picture it!! On Facebook I am trying to tell everyone about Blogs and I hope you see it so everyone will remember! And i posted it a little late tonight though bc I have been watching the game and then had to do history homework that I really shouldn't have waited to do! But yeah! Ok im going to save this so I can go on Mr. Potters blog so I can see what else to write about!
So my siblings! I have to younger sisters Leah and Mya! Leah is in 7th grade and Mya is in 1st! I have to say that most the time we are friendly with each other but we get in our arguments! Leah as the middle child sometimes feels a little left out so resently I have been hanging out with her and going shopping together! My sisters are very supportive of everything and I am very glad to have them! This is a picture of us three near Christmas time! Leah is in the middle and Mya is on the right!

I have been studying like all weekend and i just want to stop but i have 2 tests tomorrow and they are two I am not ready for. Bio and math! Im not excited for anything, but i am excited for after exams! because I will actually be able to hang out with people and have fun! So i am done with the english study guide but i am not sure that is enough to be ready for the test! I have no clue what to talk about... oh i went skiing the other day and it was really fun! I haven't been since last year and the first thing i went on was black diamond haha! It was a lot of fun. I also saw a movie called letters to god. For some reason my friend abbi and I thought it was goiing to be stupid but it ended up being really really good! At one point abbi and I looked at each other and we were both in tears cause it was one of the saddest movies i have seen in a while! That is about all i did this weekend other then study. So i am going to leave this blog at that and good luck everyone on the test!

Blog
So I am going to start this blog off by saying the blog should not be timed but it should be about how many lines or sentences you have! Because I don't think its fair if someone types faster that they should have to type more lol! Also 15 minutes is a lot of time to take out of getting ready for tomorrow! Ok anyways... My weekend was great I hung out with Ethan and we watched Shrek or how ever you spell it and it was very cute and I loved it!! I loveeee the little ogre babies and the half dragon half donkey babies!! lol they are so cute!! haha well in class we are still doing the mystery unit and I like it a lot and I am going to be sad when its over bc I don't know what we are doing next and it could be writing stories or something horrible like that!! So surprisingly it has already been 10 minutes since I have been writing well i guess typing this and it is 10:00! And i am supposed to be in bed right now on a monday night! Well i say that but i still doing get to sleep until like 10:45 which I guess is good compared to what time some people go to bed!! I am such the chatter in these things I just don't know what to talk about so I talk about the most random things which I guess is okay lol because I am still typing for 15 mins! I had diving tonight and I had my Aunt's baby shower earlier today! They were both fun but I finally did my front flip full twist at practice today! I am the worst at twisting and to do one full twist is good for me!! I also did a good double and didn't smack at all which is great!! Well it has been 5 mins and i am going to go to sleep now!! I hope everyone had a good weekend! See you tomorrow!
