Week 16: Memories of 2013

Throughout the past eleven and a half months a lot has happened, and a lot has changed in my life. I believe that it has been a great year due to various different occasions and events. One thing that changed over the course of the past months is that I began to start doing more of my blogs faster with better quality work. I went from taking one independent class in my junior year to taking three classes on my own in my senior. I will make it better by trying new things and spending memorable moments with class members before graduation.

Week 15: Describing Snow

Dear Pen Pal,

            I know that you have never experienced snow before, so I thought that I would give you a good description of what snow is. Imagine that you were a plate of spaghetti the parmesan cheese that falls from the sky would be the snow. If that does not work for you, I have another description. Envisage that you are a cake or pan of brownies the coconut or powdered sugar that falls to the ground would act like snow. Now that you have the look, you probably want to know the texture. Imagine grabbing a handful of frozen vanilla ice cream in your hands, the texture of the snow is similar to the ice cream, exchanging the stickiness for wetness. Now, there are many things that you can build with your well imagined snow.  You could make a snowball to throw at your friends or enemies. You could also build an igloo or for, like people do in Antarctica and as seen on television. Lastly, you could build a snowman, like me, and make it as tall as you can.

                                   

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                                                           

Your Snow Expert

Week 13: Turkey Adventures

One fall day in early November, I had a very rude awakening. The tree limb had broken and dropped me out of the tree, probably because I gained a few pounds in the last week without noticing. I began to start walking through the forest with my head held high and beak pointed straight north. I was looking for breakfast, but could not find any. As I was walking from brush spot to open spot, I began to notice some people walking around with big guns. Without a doubt, I kept walking on my search for a delicious meal, until something happened. I heard a gunshot and it was close by, so I began to run towards the nearest bush. When I got there, I came up with a game plan to live for another year. To begin my plan I flew up into the nearest tree as high as I could. Next, I had to wait, which made me hungry, but I was able to survive for a while. After waiting for what seemed like forever, I had my chance to escape. The hunter was coming in my direction, so I took my stance and mentally prepared myself.  When he walked under the limb I jump down on top of him and scared him causing him to fall and drop his gun. After jumping I ran as fast as I could away from the hunter, ensuring my safety for another couple of months.  

Week 14: Changing the Past

If I could redo something in my life, it would be something near and dear to me. I wish that I could go back to my junior year of high school. During my junior year, if high school I made mistakes which I can never recover from. I wish that I could go back and get my blogs done before the end of the quarter. I was just kidding about that, but I would go back to the beginning of this school year and second think some of the classes that I decided to take. I think that I would go back and drop Calculus and possibly Comp and Novels just for the ICC portion. If I would have it would have allowed me to have more free time, so that I could focus more on less classes rather than dividing my focus so much.

Week 12: Country Music

I am not embarrassed about any of the music that I enjoy listening to. People may think that some music is embarrassing, but, I do not think that listening country music is embarrassing. However, I believe that music does a very good job in defining what kind of person you are, even if you cannot express your feelings. There are some people who are considered country that I do not believe should be considered in the country music genre. Lastly, I think that the category of country is being too loosely stretched for people who do not belong, like some people who originated in other genres.
