This summer I want to watch The Avengers and  I want to see Snow white queen.  I think that I wont be able to watch many movies because I will be working.

Journal entry

Today I am super stressed out because of finals and everything and I wasted time yesterday freaking out about a writing final that wasnt even due yesterday and I spent all my time in this class typing it.  When I got home I didnt have that much time to do much becuas I had to go to a church group thing and I had fun but some of it was kind of awkward.  I am agnostic but they dont know that and they were doing their prayer studies and i was kind of just sitting there creeped out by the fact that I was in a church with a bunch of people who think that god solves all problems.  And these people have so many problames that they are praying for I think that theyre praying is whats making everything go wrong.  They have family issues and all they do is talk crap about other people.  I hate people who are so "holy" and are "good christians" but althey do is talk crap about others who dont belive the same things they do, so I kept my mouth shut.

Journal entry

I have to write my final for language arts today because last night I was super tired becuase I got home at about 10 nd still had spanish homework.

If I could buy something

If I could buy something for one person I would buy Eric whatever he wanted because hes the best! And he is also my bestfriend in the whole wide world. 

Journal entry

Yesterday was really fun because I got to hang out with ym friend.  Hes one of my bestfriends, I can tell him anything(:  he tried to sketch me but he didnt finish, Im hoping today he can finish because I really want to see it.  im so glad I have a friend like him who I can tell anything, because I know he can relate to what Im going through and make me feel better. 

Finals

Finals week is next week and pretty much I am working really hard to keep my grades up in the classes that I have As and Bs in.  SO I have to work extra hard in this class and my spanish class because I always fail my spanish exms.

Journal entry

Yesterday was a pretty boring day as far as after school goes.  After I left school I had to walk all the way home in the heat and i have to walk a mile.  Then when I got home, I didnt know what to do because Ive gotten so used to my friend and I hanging out every day.  So I got to tan and get some stuff done around the house like do all my chores that I havnt been doing lately.  And also, i got my spanish hoework doen ahead of time so Im pretty much done for this week for spanish.  Im trying super hard to get all of my grades in and to get all of my stuff done on time because Im trying to get all As.  I made a deal with my parentts that if I dont make all As and Bs then I get my phone taken away and if I complain then I get my car taken away too.  Next year should be better for me, Im hoping.

Reflect on thsi weeks assignenst

This week I have worked pretty hard on my assignments lately and I think Ill get anokay grade ont hsi project. I had something totally different in mind when we started but I pulled tis project together. 

TED TALK

The ted talk I did was tikd by Eric Mead and tiwas called the magic of the placebo.  He was talking about trickery of the mind and how our eyes dont register that smething so simple but obvious is missing.  Like he was holding a knife with one finger and we didnt notice that there were only three fingers visible.  I didnt like this particular ted talk because he was being very blunt and uninteresting about thwta he was trying to show.  Also, he made it seem like he knew what he was talking about when really I figured it out right away.

Journal entry

Im really hoping I get an A on this project...I need it.  Yesterday was probably the most embarrasing day of my life. I fell at lunch walking out the door, and ti would have been bad enough that the cafiteria saw me buth ecafiteria and the outisde lunches saw me too.  I wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

Superpower

If I had one super power I would want to teleport.  I think that being able to teleport would be the coolest thing ever.  i would be able to go anywhere and just pop back whenever.

Summer Job

No because Im 15.  When I truen 16 in November I am going to get a job somewhere close to home, Ill be abke toi drive my  car and pay for things on my own.  Im really excited for this summer because I get to hang ot with my bestfriend almost everyday over the summer(:

Journal entry

SO yesterday was extreamely scary. My dad came home early and I had to hide everything that I was doing because I thought I had 3 more hours.  I ended up fprgettign about my stupid spanish homework last night and I really hope that it doesnt bring me down too much becasuse I know the final is going to kill me.

What do I look forward to

What I look forward to most when I move out is being away from my parents and not having to worry about getting in trouble or waiting for them to get home.  Alos I think thst being on my own will be fun.

What kind of grades I want

This year I have to get all As and Bs or I get my phone taken away forever and if I co mplain about it then I get my car taken away.  I thinjk that I will be good but I have to get a realy good grade on this project Im working on right now.

Summer

My plans for summer is to get my permit and a week and so Im going to be driving alot over the summer.  And also I am going to be going to georgia for a week to see all my new cousins and Im really excited.

journal entry

This week has been amazing.  I think that this week, the person I have been hanging out with has made me happier than ive been in a very long time.  Maybe this summer I am hoping to hang out with them alot and if we did I think my summer wont be as boring as it might be.

The Star Trek movie

I think that the mirror idea was pretty cool but i dont know how I would be ab;e to do that.

When I was a kid I dont think I ever got lost.   I was a good child and I always did what I was told.  My mommy loveed me because I was the best. better than my sister.

Journal entry

Todays assembly was really fun.  I sat by my bestfriend and i cant wait to hang out with her this weekend becasue I miss her.

Journal Entry

So my mom wants me to go see someone to talk to because Ive been depressed lately and she thinks that I need someone that can help me bacuas she feels she can't.  My dad doesnt want to pay for anything like that. He thinks Im just being lazy and cranky.  He doesnt know anything about me or my life. At lest my mom gives enough of a crap to listen to me and what Im going through.

disagreeing

I get very angry when I disagree with someone and it depends on what the situation is.  And also who the person is because if its someone like Shilo I get super mad and defensive becuas ehs emakes me really mad sometimes.

grades

I dont like my grades because if I get a C at the end of the semester I get my phone taken away and my car.  So Im realy scared.

Journal entry

Yesterday we had a tennis match and I didnt play untill later in the game.  Shilo's dad was going to take me home afterwards but I had to go to my privae lesons at 715 and I told Shilo that I wasnt going with her and that I was just going to wait for shelby to pick me up for lessons, and she was like all I hear is blabla bla .. So she comes up to me Come on Sam we're leaving!!! and I was like Im not going with you and maybe if you would listen to me then you would know whats going on! SO she got all pissed and called my mom to make sure she knew that I wasnt going home with her. That pissed me off so much that she had the nerve to call my mom and be my babysitter and make sure my mom knew where I was.  Next time she bails on me for her stupid boyfriend I'm calling her dad to make sure he knows that shes not riding with us.  See how she likes it.

careers

I want to be an optomatrist which is an eye doctor.  The greatest challange for that is my grades in math.  I dont particualy like math nor am I good at it.  I like biology and science so I thnk tht will be good for me.

Best April Fools joke

When a daughter said to her mother, I'm pregnant. just kidding. Her mom killed her.

the last thing I learned

The last thing I learned was that school is an opportunity to be smarter than the next kid.

I have changed in the last year

IN the last year I have changed so much its life changing.  I have changed my mindset on school and I have goten my grades up and I have joined a sport which I am improving in alot.  Im much happier than I am now in high school.  I didnt like midle school much because I didnt have as much opportunities then as I do now.

testing

I had to take a test for Rio Salado today and I scored pretty bad, I got a 61 and I'm not sure if thats good or bad.  It wasnt for a grade it was for placement in the college class I am taking for next year.  Its Chemisrty 130and its 5 college credits but its about 300 hundred dollars for the class. Im excited for it though.

journal entry

Yesterday we had a tennis match and I won 8-6.  I thought it was great becuas the girl I was paing was cheating the whole time.  We have another match today and I have a crap load of homework for spanish and math and I'm scared I'm not going to get home untill too late.

The perfect classroom

I think that the perfect classroom would have the perfect teacher.  I think the teacher is most important for a good environment in the classroom because they shepae the students and how they learn.

journal entry

Yesterday we had a meet for tennis and I lost my doubles match but we still did okay.  Varsity won their matches and JV won theirs too.  Mybestfriend did really well in her match as always she won  8-2.  We hav another match on monday and I'm really determined to win.

It was about a father who gave away his child because she had down syndrome.  Throughout the rest of the book, the family is being torn apart becasue he told his wife that the baby died.  I presented yestrday and I think I did fairly well on it.  I'm hoping to keep my A in the class because my goal for this year is to get straight A's.

Today my friend that I give a ride to every morning was late again this morning.  She has been late every day for the past 2 weeks and almost every day before that.  Today I had had enough I was really upset at her because she is unreliable, unresponsable, and never punctual.  Im almost ready to tell her that she needs to start being on time or Im not going to give her rides anymore, because its almost geting rediculous.

Propaganda

Propaganda is a way of marketing things for profit.  Like flyers and free examples of products that are new to the maket that need to be sold.

project

electrinic device

If I were to have a new electronic deivice it would be an iphone.  The phone I have now is a peice of crap and I hate it.  If I had the new iphone I would be very happy.

The news desk background

I did not like this assignment becasue tiwas very frustrating through the whole process.  I had a good project then it got deleted.  So I had to start over and it was really agrivating and now my prject isnt what I want it to be. 

journal entry

Over the weekend I spent the whole 3 day weekend with my best friend Shilo.  We played the sgame Just Dance and it was really fun, we videotaped most of it.  then we ate icecream and i got kind of sick from all the crap that I ate. ButI had a good time.

My favourite band would be my chemical romance.  I only really like baout 2 of their sonfgs but they are my favourites.  I also like fall out boy and paramore.  I have never been to on eof thier concerts but I really ant to go sometime.

My bestfriend is Shelby becasue she is such a fun person to be around.  We always have the best of times and we can come up with something to talk aboput every time.  I love her shes so special to me I dont know what I would do with out her.

When I have kids

When I have kids I want to have them involved in many spors.  And at a young age I want them to start to find something that they love so that they can continue doing it fro a long time.

journal entry

Today is valentines day and all Ive been seeing today is happy couples and their stupid balloons and candies and stuffed animals.  Oh and the stupid cheerleaders that are selling candy annoy the crap out of me.  They shove their bags of candy in your face and I almost hit one of them.  But other than that today has been okay.

The craziest thing ive done

One that I can say is the craziest thing Ive ever done is when I was with my friend Hailey and we were at ccv.  I was there with her because we were going to church with her family.  We were on a landing and we were just talking and doing weird things that I didnt want anyone to see really, we were just being stupid.  And then we hear "you guys can't be up here".  It was some really cute guy who worked at ccv and we were so embarassed we ran down the stairs and were crying from laughter. 

Ted talk extra

This Talk was told by Erik Johansson.  It was titled Impossible photography.  He was talking about taking images of the same sceneery and combinging then to make one impossible picture.  He was saying that he takes photos from differnent places so that instead of finding a place, he created one.  I think that this talk was inspiring becaus eit showed how to take something little and without meaning to something great.

Ted Talk 8

The Talk was told by Neil Burgess. And the talk was called , How tour brain tells you how you are thinking.  Teh subject of this talk was that your brain has neurons that tell your memory part of your brain to remember where you parked you car.  the part can tell your brain how far away you were from other buildings or the path that you took to get to your destination from your car.  I think that the new reserch in neurological technology has had a very big impact on the way we think of simple tasks that our brain performs on a daily basis.

One thing about the presidential canidates

One thing that I noticed about all of the republican canidates for the 2012 presidential election is that they are all white men that are in their mid to late stages of life.  They are all coming from the middle east too, such as the Carolinas, Geaorgia, and Massachusettes.

journal entry

this morning I was late to school because I went to the dentists office and got a checkup.  The girl that was cleaning my teeth was talking to me like I was 5.  She was actigng like it was an obligation to hold a conversation with me when her fingers were in m y mouth.  I couldnt talk so Ijust had to make wierd noises that were uncomprehendable and made no sense.  Oh well.

favorite birthday memory.

my favorite birthday memory would be my 8th birthday when I had a bunch of my friends over and it was really fun.

Super bowl

I was not happy with the result of the super bowl.  I really wanted the patriots to win but the game was good anyways. 

ted talk 7

Karen Tse
How to stop torture.
This talk was about how people and sociatis can come together to end torture around the world.  She was saying hwo seh went to prisons around the world to fine little children and women in the prisons for pety crimes that in america, they would have been released immerdiately. 
I think that she had a really good point how opther countries are using torture as their only method of confession.  She was very inserational and had good iddeas.

the role media plays in society

media is everywhere becuase people need it to communicate. And they also need it to advertise and to buy things and to sell things.  People use it to find information and to use it for school and other things.

what I didon my day off

Yesterday I went to my friends house and ate cereal and talked and hung out for a while.  I had a pretty bad day yesterday because I wasnt feeling well and I think that I am sick now.  I think that I got it from my friend witch sucks becuase now were both contagious.

what i beleive

I could go on for hours on what I leieve and how I think everything came to be but I wont becasue no one really thinks the same exact thing and that causes fights. I tink thattt people are entitled to their opinion.

If pay was the same

If pay was the same I would want to be a cosmetologist because I love doing makeup and hair and stuff like that.  I think it would be fun.

car

Right now I have a cutlas supreme and I really like it for my first car it good for mwe becasue its small in the front and I cant reach everything easily.  In the future I wold like to have like maybe a camero or someting like that I have liked cameros sinse I was little so I think tht that would be cool.

If today was your last day

I would do things that I have wanted to do all my life. I would probably tell off all the people I hate and tell all the people I love thta I love them.  I would spend time witht he people that I loved and chariched.  And I would have fun. 

career choices

If money ddint matter then I would want to be a singe or a dancer because thats what I wanted to be that when I was younger. 

elementary school

one of my memories from elementary school would be going to disney land.  We were supposed  to go to Catalina but the waves were too choppy.  it was fun for the most part.   I was stuck wityh some people I didnt really like but other than that we had alot of fun, we stayed untill midnight then rode back home.

journal entry

So yesterday I hung out with my friend Shilo. And we went out and messed around at Mountain Shoadows swinging on the swings and playing on aslide we felt like little kids again.  Then we went in the wash to get back toher house but we kind of got lost for like 20 mins then finally found our way back.  My weekend was pretty fun.

2 Parasgraphs

I think that some parents are definately deadbeats.  I met one the other day.  She was a mother of 3 boys and 2 of them were older then 15 and the little on was about 10.  He was in the room while they were doing bad things and the mother didnt really care.  He played in that room and it made me sad.  I felt bad for th eboy because he didn't know that there was better out there for him.  And she could have cleaned up for him, she could have made it a somewhat better place for him to play. 
Parents can sometimes be deadbeats because crap happens and they can't do anything about it.  But most of the time they can, and they just don't want to.  They dont think its worth it to live up their potential.  Some things you just can't change.

ted talk 6

this talk was told by cathrine Mohr.  The talk was Surgery's Past, Present Robotic Future.  What she was basically saying is that when surgery firast came out, surgeons were thought of as gods. they were taking people's organs and putting them into soomeone else and having them work.  That they were able to do things that were thought to be impossible.  and she said that they6 are continuously making surgery simpler and simpler.  She was also talking about how without consent, surgery would be a felony.  Because what they do is cut people open. 

yesterday

esterday I went to go see as car with my dad and itwas dmb because it was basically just the body. So we didnt get it. and IM still looking because I get my permit soon and my dad wants mee to have my own car by then.  Im excited to get it because I get to pick a car that I want and its going to be original.

what Im going to do when I retire

Well IM hoping to make lots of money and so I can stack it away so that wen I do retire I can travel.  I always image Old men playing golf and yelling at little kids.

My weekend

my weekend wasnt that great. I was yelled at and scolded.  I went to my friends house and she was really upset beczause she  coulldnt hang out with her boyfriend and I couldnt hang out with mine either so it was kind of annoyijng

furthest away from home

The furthest away Ive been away from home is whne I went to florida and I was there for 4 days.  I was staying in georgia for a month in the summer to see my ffamily and that si the furthest Ive been from home.

my closest relative.

My closest relative would have to be my uncle who lives in georgia.  When ever I to georgia we always have time alone where we can just talk for hours about anything and everything.  He's a really cool guy who tells me all these stories of when hewas younger and i tell him my stories.  I like having someone in the family that I can trust to tell them everything that I might not be comfortable telling my parents or anyone else about.  He always has great advise for me and he never shoots me down, hes always good for cheering me up and for that I am thankful.

what I need to improove

Some things that I need to improove are my work ethic.  I sometimes don't do everything thar I should, or I will do it half way.  I'm pretty lazy at times but I don't think that I can do something stright without interupptions for long periods of time just because i don't have the concentration.  another thing that I need to work on is that I need to be a nicer person to people i care about. Sometimes I am rude for no reason at all just because I was having an off day.  I don't like it when people are rude to me so I think I really need to work on treating people better.  I have one best friend that I dont even treat that great, but then again she doesnt treat me that great either.  well Im going to try to make better grades this semester and to make more friends that I think will last.  I've been making A's and B's and last semester I got one C because I wasn't doing sowell in spanish.  I accually tried to transfer out of her class, but then I realized that the other teacher that i would have gotten was so much worse so I switched back.  I am going to take a collage course class next year it'll be chem 130 and im excited yet scared at the same time.  I really have to focus so that I pass the class otherwise I wont get the credits and I will have wasted a whole bunch of money.  Sometimes I wisht hat my parents didnt put so much pressure on me to do well.  I mean they think that a C is the end of the world for me but i try in class and they still put me down for it.  and they always compare me to my little sister who gets straight As all the time everytime.  But when I was in 5th grade i got the same grades as she did so I think its rediculous. 

new years resolutions

I dont really ahev any resolutions that are really new.  The same old stuff like be a nicer person being a better person and making better grades, better choices, and better friends.  I realize that I havnt done ant of those things this year I have not followed through with any of those.  On new years eve I didnt really celebrate the new year, I didnt evn look out the window to look at the huge fireworks that my neighbors were setting off.  But i think Im going to try a little harder.

my winterbreak

My winter break was pretty fun.  Christmas was really great i got alot of the things that i wanted.  New years eve I was home alone just watching movies and eating cookies(:  New years day was fun me and my bestfrind went to the movies and saw sherlock holmes 2. I thought it was really good and it was just about as good as the first one. Then yesterday i went hiking with my friend megan and my mom and my sister and it was alot colder than i thought it was going to be.  I was wearing shorts and a t shirt. I was freezing.  So my winter break was pretty fun i didint do any thing really noteworthy but i had a good time.
