Alrighty so all last week we went to the library and it was pretty cold. I am glad that we are back in the classroom because i work so much bettr at a desk and not at a computer, but whatever works i guess. I have everything turned in so far which means i have a 100 on the project so far the part im going to lose points for is the actual research paper, just because that's how it always end up. The worst part about the entire project is the bib cards. I got those done and i was soo happy when i did because i hated trying to the information, but when you use the database on the school libraries website, it makes it soo much easier. They already have all of the information for your notecard. It also helps you with your works cited page because all you have to do is go to the website and copy down the information. Today we had to turn in our title page and that was the easiest part because it takes like 2 min. Then when mr. potter said we had to start on our research outline, i was not ready for that. I don't like making outlines because i tend to write sentences and not short facts or even like one or two words. Another thing is the whole organizing the notecards which can take some time so i tried to work fast today and it worked. i had all of my notecards sorted out an then when i started working on my outline everything was going great. so i only have like two paragraphs left which includes the conclusion. i have a total of eight paragraphs alrighty and i have to add two more!! This paper should be really easy to write since i have so many paragraphs to write with and since it has to be five to six pages long it will be really easy. well i wrote a lot today since i am study hall and won't be able to type over the weekend because i won't be home and where i am going there will be nooooo computer and i dont have time tonight with soccer and then right after the ble jackets :) well ttyl whoever reads this <(")

Alrighty so when we were assigned this research project, I was okay with having to look up information because I love being on the computer and not having to reading a book and write a paper on it later. Then when Mr. Potter decided to hand out this huge packet all about the project, I thought how am I going to get all of this done in like three weeks along with having to study for other subjects and working on their home work assignments. Well after we started to work on the research project in the library, it was going pretty easy. By the way that library is freezing and there are a lot of my friends that ask my why do I have a sweat shirt of my north face on all the time, well I have to tell them that it is freezing in there and they have like no heating which I hate. Any way, I really like the due date chart or list because then I can work ahead if I feel like it so that way I get that out of the way and just focus on the other classes. I thought this project was going to be pretty hard since we didn't get to pick out of anything to research, but I guess trials are fine too. I chose the Patty Hearst trial and it is about a woman that was kidnapped when she was younger and then she ended up robbing a bank. There are many people who think that she was brain washed since she was kidnapped and then she turned around and ended up robbing a bank which makes noo sence at all, but there are some crazy people out there. I have actually liked this research project so far. The only thing that I am not looking foward to is the outline that we have to do. I have never really been good with outlines because I like to write out the whole note card or sentence that will be in my paper. Well that is my blog for this week. I hope that I can talk long like I did today throughout the year because I also hate the fact that we have to do this. I am off to my sisters soccer game and then shopping and other homework so I will talk to all of you guys tomorrow at school. :)

Commented on Jada's post :)

So today English class was pretty chill, which I love. I edited Jada's persuasive essay and it was good. I am probably going to edited my own paper soon and see how much i need to add or take away. Then I will turn it in, into turnitin.com and see what happens since I have never used that wedsite before. I don't know what we are doing tomoro, but i hope it is a relaxing day like today.

After school there is a JV Gold soccer game and some one should come watch us play at the highschool at 5:30.

Well I kind of totally forgot to do this over the weekend, but thankfully i remembered. I actually love English class this year. During middle school and elmentary I have never really enjoyed English class because it was boring, but this year seems like it is going to be a very fun year. With that over the week in English class I kind of enjoyed the poetry packet and reading them. I like to write them more though if I am in the mood too. Then when we got assigned the persuasive essay assignment I was excited because that's my favorite type of essay to write. I am writing about whether or not teenagers should get their licenses taken away for failing highschool. I agree with having their licenses taken away, just because it isn't that hard to pass a class as long as you do your homework and study for test. When we had all period to work on our essays and I got more than half of it done and i think it is pretty good as a rough draft right now. I am excited to see what will go on this week in English.
Over the weekend i had a soccer game and we tied 2 to 2. Then I had to drive two and a half hours to my cousin's suprise birthday party which was extremely fun. Today I pretty much slept all day long. Tomorrow I have a soccer game that is home at south so if any one wants to come you can.

blogging.

Alright so I can post diffferent blogs each day and that would count as my 15 to 30 min for the week?

The stories we read last week were pretty good. Looking foward to this week with poetry and anything else we are doing this week.
