Fall BREAK

first off way to short :(
fall break meant finals... ugh the ever dreaded finals it went pretty well for me thought actually!
first block is algebra two. i failed but that's okay though because i knew i wasn't going to pass
second block is american lit. i had like a 105 in that class then rocked the final! :] wooot
and then i ended the class with a 99.2 because i decided not to hand in 3 study guides but its still an A+
third block RUSTLER didn't have a final but we had a online portfolio hopefully i rocked it?
and fourth block is fine crafts :S i had like a B in there and idk what i got on the final i should probably go check it out
all i know is that it was very hard and was all writing no bubble sheet i had to do the color wheel and idk if i even got that right pretty pathetic i know..
THEN
we had two half days !
and no school friday
no school monday
monday i went into omaha for the first time driving without my parents and didnt get lost!
woohoo even tho i ended up in bumville and thought i was going to get shanked because there was so many cars and scary bums and a long red light and he was staring at me and omg it was scary but i survived thank the lord :]
break was fantastic wish it was longer


next topic
i really wish i was 18 because i want to VOTE
ugh it makes me mad
i think any logical person over the age of 16 should be able to vote because i know whats going on i know the views of both Obama and McCain and i want my voice to be heard but i have to wait 2 freakin years which is LAME
because what if MY opinion changed the outcome? i know it really isn't that possible but it might be.

well im done for now folks
catch ya later

Things I've Learned

Things i've learned this year.

Journalism.

1. i've learned that asking for help brings great rewards.

2. ive learned that if we put all of our stubborness aside we can acomplish great things.

3. ive learned that the kids in journalism are just like a family and that we all hurt when someones not in a good mood or sick in the hospital.

4. ive learned that we should have all of our stuff done a couple days before deadline to reduce austins head from exploding

5. ive learned that our handy dandy little ruslter passes get us everywhere, no questions asked. and that pretty much ROCKS

6. ive learned new skills about how to get ads sold like knowing our production rate and how many eyes look at our paper a month

Things about myself.

1. That i have a job and should love it, i should never stress to the point of having a mental break down during third block

2. That no matter what i do somethings are going to happen anyways

3. That im not invincible, things will get to me

4. Talking back to a teacher will result in getting 2 fifth blocks and 5 demerits

5. That i need to reduce stress, it makes me sleep better and im in a good mood pretty much everyday

6. That if i back up without looking i might accidentally hit a trash can.. or that HUGE brick thing at the YMCA

high school kids learn stuff everyday

just because it isn't how many newtons are in a pencil

or what 895z + -96x (-158) is

doesn't mean it isn't important
