winter break

On winter break I'm not going to do much. I know for sure that I'm going to be hanging out with many many people. I'm so excited for that! On Christmas I'm going to see the new Alvin and the chipmunks movie! I think my good friend Yazmin might go too. I can't wait to see it. I saw the first one and LOVED it. I don't think we're doing anything else on Christmas besides open presents and a have good dinner. It's only going to be me, my mom and annoying sister. I'd like to go to the zoo and look at all the lights they set up. I think that would be pretty awesome. My break is probably going to be pretty calm but I hope it's fun! I'm not sure what I'm doing on New Years though. I want to hang out with people but I think my mom has to work that night because shes a limo driver and people usually want to go places looking fancy I guess. I'm so excited for everything and can't wait for Christmas!

Book over winter break

The book I'm going to read over winter break is the same book I'm reading now. I'm almost done with the second book in the series and plan on reading the whole series. I love these books and I'm glad my sister got me into these books. I don't really like any other book just because I don't like books at all. I'm not sure why that is. I've always not liked books so much but I love the ones I'm reading.

My book

The book I highly recommend is Marked by P.C Cast and Kristen Cast. Marked is such an amazing book in so many ways. Its exciting, thrilling, enchanting and just all over bone chilling. The book starts out with a normal 16 year old girl named Zoey. She goes to a regular high school. She has a pretty normal life. Her mom recently got remarried to as Zoey would call him her step-loser. She has a stuck up older sister that her parents always compare Zoey to and a wonderful grandma that Zoey loves the most. Zoey doesn't know her life is going to change dramatically at a normal day at school, but she notices a "tracker" at her school one day. A tracker is an adult vampire that goes and "marks" people and has them become a vampire. A person who just gets turned into a vamp is called a fledgling. The tracker doesn't get to just pick anyone to become a fledgling. The goddess of Nyx does, and she does it very carefully. Not everyones body excepts the change in becoming a fledgling. If the body starts to reject it there's nothing anyone can do and they die. When Zoey gets marked her parents don't approve but there's nothing they can do. After someone gets marked they have to start their life living at the House Of Night which is a school for fledglings and adult vamps When fledglings go there they get a mentor to help them through the change. Zoeys mentor is named Neferet who is a high priestess. A high priestess is an adult vamp who has a special gift form the goddess of Nyx and they have different powers depending on what gift Nyx grants them with. They also have classes at the House Of Night to help them learn about the change. Zoey meets many friends there and their adventure beings from there. This series has 6 books in it and working on a 7th. I think everyone who likes vampire books should read it. Its the best ones yet!

Class book

I though the book was a pretty good book. I don't think I've read a book that was anything like that. It had some awesome funny parts in it, and also some sad parts but it was still very cool. If I didn't read it in class I don't think I ever would of read it for a couple reasons. One reason is I'm not the biggest book fan, another is If I do pick up a book its usually a vampire book or something like that and the last reason is if I did get it I doubt I'd ever read it. I kind of wish I could of read the ending just because I started it and I'm not going to know what happened. I don't think its going to bother me though so I doubt I'm going to get it just to read the ending. Overall it was a satisfying book.

Christmas

If I could create a new Christmas tradition I'd don't think I'd change much. I like Christmas the way it is. I think I'd probably change how there's a Christmas Eve. I don't really see why there's one. Maybe if people would have like a huge dinner on Christmas Eve then it would be alright but everyone would have to do it. Besides the people that don't do Christmas. I guess Christmas eve is okay cause I get to open one present but if I didn't get to do that I'd be a lot more excited to just open all of them on Christmas. I don't really think it would be a good or bad change but its the only thing I can really think of that could change and wouldn't really matter.

Class Book

I don't really have a favorite part. Just parts that I really like and I think are funny. Like the part where Junior told the girl he liked that he was poor. I thought it was cool he could tell her that trusting she would accept it. I also liked the part when Junior was saying that him and Penelope were "together". I liked that part cause It was cute how he was all excited and didn't know why she was with a guy like him. Those are the parts that really stuck out to me. Well there was also the part about the dog. I didn't like that part but I remember it. I thought it was sad and wouldn't be able to do that.

My Choice

My week off was so good. Well except for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I had some person issues that I'm still getting over. I found out that my grandpa died Monday and that was just the start of my personal issues. I'm not going into detail about them but my grandpa died of a really bad lung cancer from being a chain smoker. Ever since I was little I could remember him smoking so much. I didn't think much of it then. My sister on the other hand had to go to the ER when she was little cause she got a very bad reaction to my grandpas smoke and couldn't breathe. I don't remember much because I was so young. I guess my dad flipped when it all happened and started going all religious on my grandpa for some reason. I don't know. My dads just a tad on the crazy side.

Other then the bad days I had on my week off it was amazing. Me and Levi went down to the river just to sit and look at the water and we talked a bunch about pretty much nothing. My Thanksgiving was great. We went to my moms friends house. Her name's Barb. We've known her since I was small. I guess my mom's pecan pie wasn't cooked all the way and the minute we got in the pie leaked over everything. The floor got all gross, Barbs little dog got all messy because he ran in it, Barb's husband got all sticky because he picked up the dog, my moms shirt got ruined, AND two seconds after that my sister dropped all the soda and all I could say was, "Happy Thanksgiving!" I was great. I love having memories like that.

10 Things

I'm thankful for a lot of things and happy for what I have. I'm thankful for my wonderful blackberry that I have. I'm thankful for my amazing family that sometimes isn't so amazing and more on the annoying side. I'm thankful for my almost perfect fiance. I'm really happy he's in my life and is always there for me. I'm thankful for my cute little house. It's not the nicest house in the world but it's still a house. Well its actually a duplex but whatever. I'm thankful for all my pets. All of 7 of them! They're all so very cute and very lovable. I'm thankful for all my clothes. I don't know what I'd do without clothes! I'm thankful for what money my mom does have, and what we do get when she spends it. I'm thankful I get to get my GED instead of being stuck at school doing what I hate doing. I'm thankful for all my amazing friends that care about me and are there for me.

My week off

For my week off I'm not going to do much. I know I'm going to the open house on Monday with Levi, my mom and maybe my sister. For the week off I'm going to sleep in, probably go shopping a bit, and hang out with friends. Thanksgiving is going to be pretty boring because its just going to be me, my mom, and sister like always. We never really do anything just because its only the three of us. There is not much to do on Thanksgiving for us. Hopefully it won't be too boring.

My Weekend!

Over the weekend I didn't do much because I still had the flu. That was no fun. Sunday I dyed my hair. It was pretty fun. It really didn't turn out to be the color it was suppose to be but its pretty close to it now. Monday I stayed home and cleaned as much as I could. That was really no fun and Tuesday I went to school then went home and cleaned again. It was pretty boring but at least I'm not sick! Today I'm not going to do much. After school I'm going home and probably going to watch a movie or something. Life is pretty boring right now but its also mellow. I'm fine with that!

Life Story

In my life story I'd want it to include a lot of stuff. The most important stuff in my life are kind of big. One thing that's pretty important is, all the stuff that happened with my dad, why he went to prison, why I'm not seeing him now, why I am like I am today and other stuff like that. Another thing I'd like to include is my experience in middle school and some of high school. The last thing I'd write about is why I'm so happy with my life even after everything in the past and how I made it through it all. I'd end it in a happy ending, short and sweet.

formal letter

Dear Rebekah,
Three things I'd like to learn from this class is, better reading, better understanding of reading, and better spelling skills. I know I have improved much and I'm getting better everyday. I don't think I have that much trouble in spelling but it could be better. I'm getting a lot better at understanding reading. Its making much more sense to me and I'm looking more for key words then just reading over the passage. My reading has gotten better too. I'm reading things and understanding what the author is saying and not having to read the sentence over trying to figure out what it means. I'm reading a lot quicker too. It shouldn't be long until I get do everything better and graduate this class. My writing has also improved. I wasn't having much trouble with it but it has gotten better.
Sincerely,
Bailey

Guinea pigs!!

My guinea pigs are named Mocha and Latte. Mocha is white with some tan/cream color on her head and back with a little white line from her eyes to her nose. She has pretty pink/red eyes and loves to run around, play and jump all over the place. Mocha is such a sweetheart and knows when I'm not feeling very happy. She always cuddles with me and gives me kisses on my face and hands. Shes not very small but sure acts like it! Latte on the other hand is all copper/red color with darker red eyes. Shes very little and very fast. She doesn't like to be pick up very often and gets scared very easily. She always follows Mocha where ever she goes and does everything just like Mocha. Even though shes not a baby anymore I still call her my little girl because she totally acts like a little baby that thinks shes gonna get lost if she leaves my room.

Peom paragraph-The Portrait

This poem is about a mother who was pregnant when her husband killed himself. After that the mother had much hatred against her husband for leaving her all alone with a newborn. The mother couldn't let go of what happened to her and never forgave her husband for what he did. I think the author wrote it because they might of had something like that happened to them when they were small or they knew someone who that happened to. I liked this poem because of the way its written. I really liked the part when it says, "In my sixty-fourth year I can feel my cheek still burning." I like it cause it doesn't really mean they can feel it but it means they can still remember how it all happened and what they were feeling at the time it happened and how they felt after they got slapped.

Rhymes

Music is very fun
I never want it to be done
I love the way it makes me run
As I said music is fun

Weekend!

This weekend is going to be pretty fun. Today I'm going to hang out with and old friend downtown with my fiance Levi for an hour or so. Then were going to go home and I don't know what we're going to do there though. Saturday I'm going to carve pumpkins with the family. It is also going to be mine and my fiance's anniversary. I'm pretty sure we're gonna go out to dinner or something. Whatever he has planned I'm sure its gonna be fun. I'm not sure what I'm going to do Sunday but I'll probably just stay home and relax. I'm also very excited for this coming Wednesday. I'm finally going to get my eyes checked and get contacts. I have pretty bad vision. I'm really happy I'm getting it fixed!

haiku

Music is my life
Love how music fits my mood
It makes me happy

Music

Fun, fast, slow, loud, Atreyu, drummers, lip gloss, black, pissing off parents, skinny jeans, make up, famous, exciting, purple hair, vans, neon colors, black lights, paint, red, disturbed, music videos, summer, ipods, pain, Three Days Grace

song lyrics

My favorite song would have to be Feel Good Drag by Anberlin. I like that song because it's a really good song and I really like the meaning. The meaning to the song is how people give into sexual temptation. I think a lot of people give into it but its good how a band put it into a song because they're not making it seem like a good thing, they're saying how its bad and how if you get pulled in, you'll probably regret it. I love how the song is put together and how its written. They have another song I kinda like, it's called Cold. I really like the meaning to that one. The song cold is about a relationship and if the guy could go back he would of treated the girl better and he's sorry for what he did. The lyrics I put below is my favorite part of the song. Its my favorite because its about how the guy is being pulled in from a girl and he doesn't want to be but he can't help himself.

"I'm here for you," she said and we can stay for awhile, my boyfriend's gone we can just pretend. Lips that need no introduction Now who's the greater sin Your drab eyes seem to invite (tell me darling) Where do we begin.

Was this over before...before it ever began? Your kiss, your calls, your crutch Like the devil's got your hand This was over before, Before it ever began Your lips, your lies, your lust Like the devil's in your hands

Everyone in this town is seeing somebody else Everybody's tired of someone our eyes wander for help Prayers that need no answer now I'm tired of who I am You were my greatest mistake I fell in love with your sin Your littlest sin

poetry

I think people do poetry as a way of expressing how they feel about something or someone. A lot of people do it as venting or a way to pass time. I have sometimes thought about poetry and it is a great thing to do if you can do it. Songs are like poetry too. I think they are because some songs are like long poems and expressing feelings or thoughts. I think people that write music are artists because it takes skills to do it as well as the passion, and practice to write music. Poetry is also a fun thing to do. I like poems that are fun and happy. I don't have a favorite but poetry has been in my life since I was little. I plan on it being in my life as a way to relate to peoples poetry and think about why they wrote it. I think poems are a good way of thinking about life and what great things it has.

Home

I didn't really have a place that felt like home just because my house is so small. I guess I'm trying to say its not very home like. Ever since my fiance started pretty much living with me its felt more like home. Me and him have always talked about getting a place together but like a small apartment. My house feels like a little apartment now and I sometimes catch myself saying its mine and my fiance's house but I know its not. I get a really good and relaxing feeling when I'm home. It used to feel like just another place that I have my stuff in. Another place I feel like home is my aunt Caryn's apartment in California. She always has everything so clean and shes so fun to be around and very kind. Her daughter and husband also live there. I used to not get along with her daughter Shayla, but now shes my favorite cousin. I guess those are the places I really feel like home is.

School

Going to school is important because without going to school people couldn't get a good job, and if people couldn't get a good job then they wouldn't have a way to support themselves or a family. I'm going to school to get a good job and I do think its important to go because I do want to support myself and a family one day. I couldn't do that without going to school. I would have loved to finish high school and get my high school diploma but high school wasn't for me but I'm fine with getting a GED and going to hair school. This way I can start going to hair school faster then I would if I was still in high school. Just as long as I get to go to hair school I'll be happy.

Disaster

The things I'd try to save are, my guinea pigs, all four kitties, and my dog. I would say I'd save my cell phone and purse but they're always with me. I think that's all I really care about. I would defiantly miss all my clothes. I do have like forty pairs of jeans, but I don't need all of them. I'd miss my room and all the nifty things in it like my bed, my glow in the dark walls, all the pictures and memories I have in there. I wouldn't miss too much cause almost everything is replicable. I couldn't get the exact same stuff but I'm sure they would be pretty darn close.

dedication

Dedication means a lot in my life. I dedicate myself to my family, my fiance, my goals in life and school. If I wasn't dedicated to these things then life would be pretty boring and I think there would be no point in anything. Right now I'm pretty dedicated to finding a good job and getting my GED so I can go to cosmetology school and do hair like I've been wanting to for a very long time. My aunt Caryn did hair and loved it. I'm pretty much a natural at doing hair and I do practice dying and cutting hair on myself. Ive done some pretty wild things with my hair, but practice makes perfect! I love setting new goals for myself and making some things a challenge.

Pizza

My favorite food is just about anything and everything. I like spaghetti, pizza, Mexican food, Chinese food, and stuff like that. I don't really like any of that stuff homemade. I like going out and getting food. Usually I go out and get McDonald's, or BK is pretty good too. My mom doesn't cook very much and when she does she makes her own kind of thing like this one time she made, peas mixed with corn and tater tots, it was strange; and I told her not to make it again. My favorite thing she makes is potato soup. It has lots of potatoes, carrots, peas, bacon, and whipping cream. She doesn't make it a lot but I thank her when she does.

Family member

I think my sister, Gabby is most important to me because she's always there when I need someone to talk to or bug. She's always been by my side supporting me with everything I do and I'm the same. I also keep her out of trouble and help her with dumb boy problems. She can be annoying and stubborn sometimes but she'll always be my little sister and I'll never forget the good times we've had together and I can't wait until we make more memories.

Grandparents

Parents are important in a child's life because they're their parents, and a kid only gets one mom and dad. Parents should teach their kids how to grow up, and they should be good parents so the kid will have a good, healthy life. Grandparents play some role in a child's life. They're a older role model to look up to and they're there to love their grandchildren. My dad doesn't play a role in my life due to assault but he did make an impact on my life. He showed my that even the people that are supposed to treat you right, don't always do that. My mom is the person I look to for safety. She's the only mother I have and I respect her as best I can. I don't see my grandparents much because my mom's side lives in Alaska, and my dad's side lives in California but I do visit.

Charts

One thing you can learn from the chart is how obesity goes up over the years, and how much it goes up at the age fifteen. Another thing is that the chart shows where the people are and in some places the weight is a lot higher then others. One more thing is the chart has a nice, big title saying what its about and what they mean by the chart.
