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!

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.
