A Month in Review OLD FRIENDS, NEW FRIENDS I have made a lot of new friends at school this year, especially in all of my classes; I have met people who I can easily get along with and some not so much. In senate and pom I have made a lot of new friends, people have accepted me and some haven’t but that’s ok, I am happy so far and I’m sure I will make a lot more. Some of my old friends and I have separated through these past couple of weeks unfortunately, but some I have come closer with. SHS ACTIVITIES ATTENDED I am in pom and I love it so much. I did actually think it was going to be easy when I made the team but it wasn’t at all, it is extremely hard but I have to keep practicing to get better and better. I am also in Stevenson Senate which is kind of like being the voice of the school and choosing what is best for the school. It’s not always about school either, two weekends ago Stevenson Senate did a five mile breast cancer walk in Bell Isle which was extremely beautiful. FUNNIEST, WEIRDEST, SCARIEST MOMENTS My first day of school was scary because I didn’t know what I was doing but high school really isn’t that bad. A funny moment is when I was at pom was and we were doing one of our routines full out and we were walking into kickline and I completely fell on my face and everyone laughed at me. I wasn’t too embarrassed I just kind of laughed along with everyone else. HARDEST, EASIEST CLASS AND ASSIGNMENTS We had our big unit test last Wednesday (10/21/09) and it wasn’t too hard but I thought it would be. I also thought Global Ed. was super easy but it isn’t too hard. I don’t really like the cultural events or current events but I guess I could deal with it. TOP FIVE CURRENT EVENTS Some current events that are happening lately are the school budget and how everyone is freaking out about it. Also there was a boy who was supposedly stuck inside a scientific weather balloon. They planned the whole thing for publicity and are pressed for charges. FACES IN THE NEWS Ardi who is possibly the link between man and chimp, Hamid Karzai is the president of Afghanistan. Sonia Sotomayor is the newest Supreme Court Justice. John Roberts who is the chief justice. INTERESTING NEW WORDS Glomance- Global Ed. romance Aloof- casual Perturbed- angry Tangible- to hold it or touch it POPULAR OR MEMORABLE SONGS One of my favorite songs is “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Swift, and another fun song is “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus. There is a song called “You Know You Want Me” by Pit bull and that song gets kind of annoying after a while because that song is the song we dance to for pep assembly. And since we practice every day I am always hearing it. POPLULAR OR MEMORABLE MOVIES A movie that I really want to see is Where the Wild Things Are. It looks really interesting and I loved the book. Another good movie I would like to see is Whip It every says it is really funny and I am definitely looking forward to seeing that as well. RUMORS OR GOSSIP There really hasn't been juicy gossip latley so nothing, but if there is i will definitely let all of you know! FADS AND TRENDS Um i dont know how about like button ups, skinny jeans, flip flops, and comfy sweat pants with shorts under neath them. That sounds about right. I know i mostly wear t shirt but that is just me. FIRST CULTURAL EVERNT Invisible Children learning movie thing i went there and sat with Audrey! It was definitely interesting to learn about and i ended up learning even more because i had to write about it as well. HOMECOMING so much fun i loved it! and getting ready was sooo stressful! Lindsay Bauer got her dress made and it wasnt ready till and hour before homecoming so pictures were delayed...etc. ADVICE FOR A FRESHMAN Um watch where you are going in the halls and do your homework cause i think that will help you a lot! Study for your tests and be respectful of your elders WHAT IM LOOKING FORWARD TO... Im looking forward to meeting even more new people and being better friends with the ones i have made. I am also looking forward to summer.
