My weekend

I'm looking forward for this weekend because I am going to my acting class on Saturday I think its my third class and I already made lots of friends but I'm mostly getting along with my partner because him and I connect with each other in a lot of thing by knowing the same people and liking the same things.After class I will probably see The nightmare on Elm street movie that came out on April 30!Th I'm also going to go to church on Sunday which I haven't gone to in a very long time because i always go with my mom. I'm excited because that church means a lot to because I started going there since I was like 8 years old! That church taught me a lot of things such as, how to be an educated classy lady, and how to respect my elders, but most important to read my bible and learn from the past.

The value of Blogs

Blogs make writing assignments more fun and interesting. You can add a video
or a picture to what you re posting, it can also help you learn the likes and
dislikes of other people.Even though blogs can create a quicker work place
for students, they can be a distraction to the student because they might want
to post a music video, or a picturue that they may find interesting, to waste their time when they could be doing homework. Blogs work both ways as in
socializing and getting homework done. The students have fun and enjoy what
they are doing. Above all blogs are very use full to students and teachers in
different ways.

My Birthday 4/29

On Thursday it was my birthday and it started great! For the first time in a long time I woke up early and took a shower while I was getting ready in the bathroom my morning staff Jennifer decorated my room and brought me a sponge bob balloon because hes my favorite cartoon character, and a a dog balloon because that is my favorite animal. She also brought face paint and drew stars on the right side of my eye and a heart on the left. After school I went to the cafe because it was short day and Jennifer told me that I had to go to the house with everyone, but since only Jacinta and Kelsey were the only ones that wanted to come home we left. When we got home Jennifer told me to watch the court cases because they were interesting and she was trying to distract me so I got into the argument and then out of nowhere they started to sing happy birthday and She had in her hands an ice cream cake with 17 candles! I almost felt like crying but I didn't because I didn't want to mess up the moment. Later every one was getting ready for prom and I helped Jacinta and Aneshia get ready a little bit.When they left I started to get ready to go to the movies. Raymond and my afternoon staff Gen went to see The Back up Plan with Jennifer Lopez I thought it was funny. Above all my birth day was the best day ever and I'm glad that i turned 17!

The Week of 3/29-4/2

My week went great!
Especially because I got accepted to these acting classes and now I'm going to get classes in acting.There was one bad thing that had me worried though and it was that my mom had to pay $1,000! At first i didnt know what to do but my mom said to not worry ecause she was going to pay for it,i do feel a little bit bad because she already has the money and Im the type of daughter that doesnt like to ask my mom for things,so now that she paid that much money I feel like I owe her the money.Maybe one day when I become famous i can pay her back! =D

To Kill a Mockingbird

Courage…
Consider the summer time from a different point of view.
… You never really see a man with real courage…
Instead you crash into a long peaceful farm,
Sometimes if you want to…
Cry…
But without ever stopping…
Think,
The simple hell people give other people

The Piez descalzos foundation

Shakira:pies dezcalsos

tu mordiste la manzana y renunciaste al paraiso y condenaste a una serpiente siendo tu el que asi lo quiso por milenios y milenios permaneciste desnudo y te enfrentaste a dinosaurios bajo un techo y sin escudo y ahora estas aqui queriendo ser feliz cuando no te importo un pepino tu destino [coro/chorus:]

perteneciste a una raza antigua de pies descalzos y de suenos blancos fuiste polvo polvo eres piensa que el hierro siempre al calor es blando construiste un mundo exacto de acabados tan perfectos cada cosa calculada en su espacio y a su tiempo yo que soy un caos completo las entradas las salidas los nombres y las medidas no me caben en los sesos y ahora estass aqui queriendo ser feliz cuando no te importo un pepino tu destino

[coro/chorus] saludar al vecino acostarse a una hora trabajar cada dia para vivir en la vida contestar solo aquello y sentir solo esto y que Dios nos ampare de malos pensamientos cumplir con las tareas, asistir al colegio. que diria la familia si eres un fracasado? ponte siempre zapatos, no hagas ruido en la mesa usa medias veladas y corbata en las fiestas las mujeres se casan siempre antes de 30 si no vestiran santos y aunque asi no lo quieran y en la fiesta de quince es mejor no olvidar una fina champana y bailar bien el vals y bailar bien el vals
