make-up?

i don't even know why i'm doing this again . Cause i have no idea if i need to make-up these blogs or not ? all i know is that it better bring my grade up from where it's at! cause it's quite unaccpetable as of right now. And i've never had that low of a grade in any class all my life ! And I mean maybe it would be helpful if we actually got test/quizzes/homework assignments back ? idk that's just my opinion. But i mean every teacher is different , i guess . . .

well anyways , its the day after christmas and i can say that i had a good christmas , mainly because i got like three course top chef meals for two days straight ! hah ! it was pretty swell. I actually enjoy spending time with my family eventhough it can get pretty crazy ! My little three year old cousin asked for drums? ha it was just weird to me cause i didnt know she liked things like that , but when she got them my uncle told me she wouldn't stop playing them for hours . I guess she really liked them drums. But there just too loud for me . lol . but hopefully she will really learn how to play and my aunt got a guitar and they'll be the next "india arie" or "lauren hill" group ahaha ! i would definetly help in the process of that. ( i'd probably be the music creator ) . Hah ! yeah but it was quite exciting . And this year when my parents decided to give out presents they decided to not to be so traditional about it , and instead of having a tree. They said they were going to put them in front of our doors. But that didn't happen either ? lol So instaed everybody came into my room and waited for the presents to come and they just single-handledly handed everyone their presents one by one ! i'm like where's the christmas spirit in this lol. it was too funny . but i mean it didn't matter to me how we got the presents just as long as we got them. Ha jk. but my christmas eve was really fun too ! we played Guesstures ! aha its like sharades . And we had the under 21 team and the over 30 team it was pretty fun weekend !

Make-Up

. So this break has been quite exciting . ever since my sister has came home. there has just been non-stop fun. :) I still have to remember to watch that movie for class. ( the illusionist ) . But i went to the boys varsity basketball game yesterday against pickerington north. It was quite exciting. And i can say that our basketball team is quite the team. And im looking foward into seeing them play in the future. This break i have just been hanging out with my friends and family. haven't really done anything special but just hang out.
- i don't know what to say so i guess i'll talk about how great it is to be out and away from school. Because i definetly needed a break from school . Because all them students and many of the teachers were getting on my nerves and i just could not handle waking up at 5:30am and putting up with peoples mess every monring ! it was terrible.. but i am definetly going to enjoy these two weeks off cause i think i needed them more than anybody. haha. but my schedule ever since school let out . Contained mainly of sleeping , eating , and hanging out with friends. I mean there is really nothing else that you can do on break . Unless you are going somewhere like out of town or visiting family. But i mean i am too. I'm just doing it on the actual holidays ( Christmas and New Years ) . But yeah , most would say my schedule is boring most woulf say that it was absolutely fun . But in my onpion its just my typical chill days. well i'm going to go and enjoy the rest of my break.

* peace , love , && happiness *

another blog .. over break !

So .. we are finally out of school for more than a week .! and on friday i don't know what was wrong with me . Because i was way to happy to be leaving school . And i went home and just ran around the house a couple times. And called like everyone i knew just to tell them i was out of school . It was also a pretty exciting day on Friday. Cause if we weren't watching some kind of movie or show in class we were playing a game and eating cookies . It was pretty swell . Eventhough i missed like an entire day in english . And wasn't able to see the whole climax and middle of the movie . My dad reminded me that we have that exact same movie upstairs . ! haha . So i was really freaking out about nothing then . I'll probably have to remind myself to watch it before we go back to school. Cause i know if i watch it now. Im going to forget that were going to have questions about it when we come back from break . Well for my christmas break . im not doing anything too special. Just going over my aunt and uncles house with the rest of my relatives so celebrate Christmas. and during New Years . i get to go down to Cincinnati to see the cousins i hardly see anymore. And besides that i will probably just be attending these basketball games and hanging out with my friends. So i think overall this should be a pretty swell break. :) . My sister came back from college this weekend as well. And its like constant battles around here all the time now. I just don't understand .. she gets on my nerves , i get on hers. Yeah , its just one of those neverending things. My mother is making food that should last us week . But the way we eat around here it should last a good 3-4 days .haha. its mostly my fault for that reasoning . But i can't help it . what can i say . i get hungry too! hah. Theres been alot of movies on lately . So its been a pretty good weekend to just sit and relax. Cause there always movies i used to love "back in the day" .

-speaking of "back in the day" ( some-what of a funny story ) . My brother was talking to my dad and he was saying how "Back in his day" he used to watch shows like "Ben 10" . lol. but the only reason he was saying that was because that show is now on Boomerang. And everyone knows that only the extremely old shows come on boomerang. But i think they just put that show on there because it was wasting space for the new lame shows that they have on television these days . ! aha . well thats all i got to sa today !

P.S : TGFB(NST) . Thank Gosh For Break. (No School Tomorrow ) :)

YUP !

Sooo ... i don't know exactly what im supposed to write here anymore . Cause no one ever tells me anymore . So sometimes i do this and sometimes i don't .? i guess today i'll write for "15 minutes". So i can get full credit for this assignment ? eventhough i do not know how one person can determine if someone writes and for how long. I mean how do they not know that i wasn't tired that day i wrote a little less than usual? i mean i could've had a long, rough day. But i guess these days teachers just don't care. And theres days when i feel like typing extremely fast and theres other times when i don't feel like typing at all. Soo i'm not quite sure how these blogs are getting graded. but from what i heard about people not getting full credit because they write less than everyone else or it seems a bit out of the ordinary?

-well i guess i will talk about my weekend since that was probably the most exciting thing. after school on friday i went to one of my friends house and there was three of us hanging out . Until it was time to go to our friends cousins sweet 16. thn on saturday i went to her sweet 16. and came back like 2 hours ago. so i guess it was pretty exciting.

-but dinner is ready and im still sitting here writing this blog. i guess ill talk about how many people in our school can be very stereotypical and make judgements without even getting to know someone. I just think that many of reasons this is happening is because the mothers and fathers of our generation are either responsible parents or there not . And imean yeah every parent wants their children to have the best life possible. But then again they are going to need to learn how to make their own decisions and bascially learn how to fly. Cause you can't be by your parents side all the time.

- so i really have nothing else to say. i'm just extremely hungry and i don't understand why we have to do these every week . Imean what is this helping with ? like why is writing in a blog so important? i just realld do not understand . all i want is an answer.

this human rights blog ?

Summary of Night John :

Night John was about a man named John who ran to the north but came back to teach people how to read.(Specifically the people of the african descent) He said " They have to read and write, we all have to read and write so we can write about this- what they're doing to us, it has to be writen." One night when he forgot to come back after hanging with his girlfriend. They set the dogs after him to try and find him and the dogs ended up killing him and he tried to climb up a tree , but the dogs pulled him by his legs and killed him. He died in the tree that day.


Summary of Mascot :

The story, Mascot, was about Malcolm X's life. He wanted to become a lawyer, but he never did. Because the teacher told him that he couldnt become a lawyer because it just doesn't sound realistic for a black man to become successful in a job , back then , they thought was only fit for white man. He got alot of attention and all the kids loved him, probably cause he was the only black student in the school and people just automatically assumed that he was good at basketball and etc. He was with the sue-lings alot and he just couldn't understand why they treated him more as a pet rather than a human being. And would make rude remarks right in front of his face and acted like he couldn't understand.

Compare and Contrast the two stories to the movie :

The movie and 2 stories compared in many ways. One was because they were both talking about the discrimination of black people . And how they weren't treated with the same equal rights as the white people were. Also, it was also all around the same time period basically and the main ideas that you were able to grasp from each story/movie was bascially the same too. The way these movie/stories contrasted was because Night John was more about a black man coming back trying to help other black people because he felt like this would become epic someday. And the Mascot was about a young boy who was just treated disrespectfully and not given all the equal rights that a young white boy might recieve. The movie "The Great Debators" seemed like they had more equal rights, but were still treated wrong and easily discrimnated because of their skin color. But they actually had a chance because they were able to create their own Debate team and make something of their selves and all they had to do was prove that they were just as good as any white school out there.
