Spring Break

The day I had that was most eventful of my spring break was Monday. I went down to my dad's Sunday night. That Monday morning Amanda and I woke up early. We had to wait for Allie to wake up. We got ready and we went over to pick up my friend Jeremy. Afterwards we headed to the Franklin Park mall. When we got there, Amanda and Allie saw a movie while Jeremy and I walked around the mall. I honestly had a lot of fun just walking around. We talked about a lot of things. He took me into stores I have not been in. He even "proposed" at one point which was cute and hilarious. We had Subway for lunch. Once Allie and Amanda were out of the movie we played Marco Polo with them in JCPenny's. They were cheating.... Anyways we took Jeremy home and headed back home watching movies for the rest of the night. I had a really great day on Monday and I wish I could do it again! That was the highlight of my spring break.

National Pencil Day

I don't usually like using the original yellow pencil. I usually use a mechanical pencil. I do like to doodle sometimes. It's usually the same picture over and over again though. I don't doodle a lot. I think using a pencil to sketch something is better than using a pen because if you mess up you can erase. I believe that there will always be a need for pencils even if we can't admit to it.

My Choice!

So the past week I've been staying at my friend Amanda's house. I seriously only been home for one day this week. I honestly been having a lot of fun. We've been having a lot of fun just messing around. Kamyah and Sadi came over during the weekend and that was great. Tons of laughing. It's the best week I've had to far!

Portrait Photography

For you to have a good potrait photograph, I believe you first need to have good lightning. You need to be able to have a still picture. I don't think it's that easy to get a good shot. You have to be patience and take time to get the right picture. You need good lightning and a good angle. The first picture of the baby is a good portrait photograph because of how the clear the image is. Plus there is great lightning and a good angle. The second picture of the girl is also a great example of portrait because of how it's clear and it's focusing just on her.

Cheaters Never Win!

If I saw one of my friends cheating, I'm not sure about what I would do. I mean, everyone cheats. Yes it would make me mad, especially if they try to cheat off of me. I most likely would confront them about it and warn them not to do it again. It isn't right to and I know I have before and I've learned my lesson. You should never cheat. It isn't going to get you any where in life.

My Weekend

I guess I'll talk about my weekend. Well Friday, we had a pep assembly for our winter homecoming. I thought it was pretty neat. The Varsity basketball girls put a dance on and that was pretty cool. Then we got to watch the teachers do an American Idol act. Mrs. Lyons won. After school I had practice then I stayed for the game. Saturday I had my own game. We lost by a few points but I got a 3 pointer so that's pretty sweet. I went to my dad's after that. We watched movies all weekend. I got a new phone. By 7 I was back at my mom's. So that was pretty much my productive weekend.

Testing! Testing! Testing!

I guess I'm okay with being tested. It helps me know what I haven't learned and what I need help on still after the test. Whether I struggle or not. I feel like education does rely too much on testing. Even though it helps the teachers know what we don't understand. I wouldn't mind there being no test but then again, it wouldn't really help us in the long run. I'm okay with the standardized testing as well. It really isn't that big of a deal with me, just a lot of stress though. I'm pretty good when it comes to testing. For the people who "don't do well on test" just need to put more effort into studying. That's all.
