speech class

I wish I could go back in time to when I was a freshman in college so I could tell myself to take speech class and get it over with. Here I am, senior year of college and I have run out of time to put off the dreaded speech class. I don 't understand why this class is recquired...are the people who make the curriculum just that evil that they get joy out of seeing people humilate themselves? I absolutely HATE public speaking. This class is like my own personal hell. I do not see why I need to stand up and be judged by a bunch of other people. When I open my mouth to give my speech and throw up, maybe then someone will rethink making this horrid class a recquirement. What I don't understand is why this stupid class is mandatory, when there are so many other important things we should be learning. For example, we all know there are some seriously evil people out there. So wouldn't it make more sense for me to take a Defense Against The Dark Arts Class? I mean really, I think it's more likely that I would need to defend myself against some seriously evil forces before I need to get up and give a speech about something. So not only do I have to take this class, but yay, I also get to pay $2100 for it. If I were in charge I would totally revamp the whole curriculum. If you are crazy enough to want to take speech, go for it, but I think my time (and money) would be better spent learning about something I'll actually need to know, like how to cast an unforgivable curse, or how to trick a vampire into falling in love with me. But until some highly educated person at my school gets on board with my idea, any helpful comments on how to not throw up/pass out/ or worse...while giving my speech would be appreciated.

3 years later...

So I found this blog that I had to write for creative writing when I was a senior in high school. I re-read all the posts and I have come to the realization that I have not changed at all and I'm actually just as strange as ever. But it was still fun to go back and read about everything that happened. I decided I want to start writing again, I just don't really know what to say. So for now I'll just continue where I left off three years ago. Not much has changed...I was a senior in high school when I started, and now I'm a senior in college, but other than that I'm the same as I always was. I still am obsessed with anything pink, I still despise wearing socks, and I still have crazy adventures. I'll have to start thinking about interesting things to write about, so until next time...

WE ARE OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!


2007

EXCITED!

Me and Tiffany are going to the AMERICAN IDOLS TOUR!!! I am sooooooooo excited. It is August 12. I am most likely going to lose my voice from screaming so loud but it'll be good when I get to see PHILLLLL!! I'm thinking we should make Blaker Girl t-shirts as well. ahhh I can't wait!!!!

Senior Skip Day

I am very excited for tomorrow because it is senior skip day. (again) Me and Tiffanty are going out to lunch and to see Shrek the Third! I love Shrek. I think we should go to McDonalds first because if you get a happy meal you get a Shrek toy and then we could take them to the movie with us! I think that would be very fun.

American Idol

I really hope Blake wins American Idol. He is amazing. Me and Tiffany love American Idol so much and we are going to try and get tickets to their tour when they come here August 12. It would be so much fun to see Phil and Blake, my two favorites. And also Gina, I really liked her two.

I can't believe Seniors only have 4 days left. It is going to be so weird to wake up next friday and not have to come to school. In a way I am excited because I will finally be able to have time, but I am also scared about going to college and not seeing any of my friends from WLC again. Although I am not really excited for graduation I am excited for my party. I think it will be a lot of fun and I will be able to see my friends one last time.

Pissed Offffff!!!!!!!

I am soooooooo upset that Phil got voted off American Idol! I was in a state of shock and then I cried. Phil is MY American Idol no matter what! Y

Weekend

This was a good weekend and it was made even better by the fact that it started Thursday afternoon. I left school early to go to an award celebration for my grandpa. Then my aunt and uncle took my and my sister, mom, and cousin shopping. They got me a channel ring, dolce and gabana sunglasses, and a pink coach tote bag. And then that night we all went and ate at the best restaurant ever: California Pizza Kitchen. Delicious! Friday was senior skip day so me and my momma went shopping and out to lunch. I had some chicken. We also had to go to the secretary of state so she could get her license plate renewed! fun times! Saturday I just chilled at home and worked on all my stuff for graduation. Sunday I went shopping again and then we went out for Chinese food. When we got home my parents, me, and my sister all watched Desperate Housewives. It was very good! That's allllll

Microphone Prompt

If I had a microphone that would make the whole world listen I would say that people should stop being so mean and stupid. I think a good percent of this population is just really stupid and I just want to let them all know that. But I think there are some people who are stupid who just need to be told they are stupid so they can get a wake up call and be smarter. That is what I would do if I had that power.

Phil

I think Phil did an amzing job last night on American Idol. I called and voted for him 20 times. I really hope he wins!

My Goal

In the next six weeks the main goal I want to accomplish is keeping my A in this class. Hopefully I won't slack off too much even though I am beyond sick of school. I don't think it will be that hard to keep my grade up, at least in this class. I think Ms. Eastman could help me accomplish that goal by not assigning too much work or at least not hard work, especially to the seniors since we are under a lot of stress and have been working real hard for the past 13 years. So if this class remains somewhat easy and I manage not to fail this video project that I know nothing about then I think I won't have a problem in accomplishing my goal.

Spring Break

I got back in town Sunday at 4 in the morning. This has to be the best spring break I have ever had! On Friday at 10 in the morning me and my mom went to pick up my aunt and my cousin. Then we were on our way to my aunts house in Ohio. It took around 2 hours to get there. We ate lunch at her house and then when my uncle got home from work he drove us all to the airport. It's a good thing my aunt has a big car because between the 5 of us we had so much luggage we could not even see out of the back of the car. We got to the airport and went through security and everything and then at 5 we boarded the plane. We got to LA at 7 which was 10 Michigan time. We were at LAX airport. I kept hoping I would see a celebrity but I didn't. We had to go on a bus to our hotel. We got to the hotel and ate dinner and then went to bed. We woke up early the next morning and had breakfast and then took a shuttle to the cruise docks. There we had to go through more security and then we just had to sit and wait. Finally we were allowed to board the boat. It was sooo big. We went to our rooms and then all met and had lunch. Then me and my cousin spent a few hours exploring the boat. There was a big sail away party so we went to that. We met our moms and aunt for dinner later and then we all went to a show. It was dancers and a comedian. It was really good. After dinner we went outside and saw 300 dolphins all swimming by our boat. It was pretty sweet! We sailed for 2 days to get to our first port. Sunday and Monday we had a lot of fun and did all sorts of activities on the boat. We went to comedy shows, midnight buffets, Spanish class, BINGO, movies, swimming, and tanned. On Tuesday morning we arrived in Puerto Vallerta. I had a lot of fun there. Our taxi driver was playing Gwen Stefani music and we were singing. But they are crazy there, there was no speed limits, or lights, or stop signs so the ride was kind of scary. We went shopping all day and had lunch at Si Senor. Then we got back on the boat to set sail for Mazatlan. We arrived there Tuesday. I liked that port the best. We shopped of course and then decided to take a tour. So we went to this place and booked a private tour with a man named Chuy. He was nice and I got to practice my Spanish. He took us all over Mazatlan in a big bus. We saw cliff divers, had Mexican ice cream, went to a flea market, meat market, fish market, beach, went on tours of houses and then went downtown to the oldest bakery and had empanadas. I got my hair braided on the beach. I was sad to leave Mazatlan! The next day we were in Cabo San Lucas. We shopped for only a little bit and then walked like 5 miles to a beach. We spent the rest of the day laying in the sun and having nachos. We decided to take a glass bottom boat tour. We went way in the middle of the ocean and saw sea lions and fish. We decided to take the boat back to the dock but my mom had a hard time getting back in and she almost fell in the ocean. it was pretty funny. We were only in Cabo till 1:30 so when we got back on the boat I went and saw Man of the Year. Then I had lunch. Later that night we all went and saw the Piano Man in the Princess Theater. It was really good. Friday I spent most of my day by the pool. At night we went to an Illusionist show and a comedy show. Our dinners were at 8 every night. That boat had the best food. I ate Alaskan king crab, octopus, shrimp, and lobster. It was very good! Saturday we had to get off the boat. I was very sad to go home. The week seemed to go by so fast. We got off around 11. We took a shuttle back to LAX. we ate lunch there and then got on the plane at 3:30. We got to Cleveland Airport at 11 and my uncle was there to pick us up. We all went back to my aunt and uncles house, he had dinner waiting for us. We left there house at one in the morning. We had a 2 hour drive back home. I talked for 2 straight hours so I could keep my mom awake while she was driving. We dropped my aunt and cousin at their house and then at 4 in the morning we were finally home. I'm tired but I had soooooo much fun. The only bad part is that I can't even spend today sleeping since evil teachers decide to give so much homework over break which is totally unfair. At least school over in like 3 weeks!!!!!!!!

American Idol

I almost had a heart attack watching American Idol last night. For like the 50th week in a row Phil has been in the bottom 3. This is very unfortunate since I am in love with him, and if he does get voted off then I will have to boycott the show. Anyways, I was sitting in the living room watching it and then my whole family comes in and starts talking like nothing is going on. This was very upsetting. American Idol is totally important. I have a feeling Phil was in the bottom 3 last night because Tuesday night I was at Passover so I couldn't watch the show and vote for him. Usually I take every ones cell phones and vote for him like 30 times, but that night I couldn't. But it all had a happy ending because he was safe. My mother though, was being quite evil sitting on the couch and screaming Phil is gone! Phil is gone! But thankfully he stayed. I was very sad Gina went home, but better her than Phil. Actually better Sanjaya than anyone, but he's probably just about to win the whole thing. If that happens I don't know what I will do. I'm going to be in Mexico next Tuesday and Wednesday so hopefully there is American TV there so I can see Phil. If not I will have to cost my parents tons of money and call long distance to find out if he is still on. Hopefully it won't come to that though. Phil is definitely my American idol!!

Spring Break

I am sooooooo excited. Tomorrow (Friday) My mom, me, aunt, and cousin are driving down to Cleavland, Ohio. We are going to my aunt and uncles house for a while then my uncle will be dropping all of us girls at the airport. We leave from the airport at 5:00 and will arrive in Los Angeles around 7. We have to stay at a hotel ... all 5 of us in one room! Saturday morning we will take a taxi to the docks where our cruise takes off from. We are going on the Princess Cruise for 7 days. I can't wait! During next week we will be stopping at different places in Mexico. I can't wait to go shopping. I've never been on a cruise before and every one's telling me I;m going to have so much fun! Me and my cousin are planning to do a lot of stuff together since we are around the same age and don't want to be stuck with our parents. I really want to go rock climbing. I have to go home after school and finish packing and then try to sleep, even though I know I won't be able too. My mom told me I could've brought a friend. I wanted to Tiffany to come but she has gymnastics. We would have had so much fun. Well, maybe next year!

Passover

Monday and Tuesday was the beginning of passover. Monday night at 9:oo my mom, dad, brother, sister, and me went to my cousin's house in Oak Park for dinner. We are not allowed to eat bread on this holiday but we have to eat so much matzoh. It's disgusting. We didn't get home till after midnight so my parents let me and my brother sleep in Tuesday. Then Tuesday night we went to some friends house in Jackson. My friend was there and we talked. I haven't seen him in a really long time. He just graduated from college, and moved back home. His parents invited to me stay at their house whenever I want because it's very close to Central which is where I am going to college. Anyways, that night was a lot funner than Monday. We went outside in the freezing cold and had a silly string fight. We ate dinner a lot earlier there too. So me and my friend made plans to get together when I go visit Central in May. I am very excited! Also that night everyone got 2 of the new coin dollars for finding the afikomen. I had sooo much fun, and even though my dress clothes got ruined from the silly string it's all good!

weekend

After school I went to my grandma's house. She took me to Potbelly's for lunch and we had a long talk about stuff. Then she made me watch Oprah. I went home and cleaned for a little bit. Then I met Tiffany at Target so I could get my sister a birthday present. Then we went to the movies and saw I think I love my wife. It was really funny. Saturday was my sister's birthday party. I had to keep 12 little 9 year olds busy for 3 and a half hours. Tiff came over and hung out with me until the party ended, then we worked on our author project for a while and watched Family Guy. After she left me and my sister went shopping and then my mom, dad, sister, and me watched Love Wrecked. Today my friends Louie and Lauren are coming over to watch movies. It should be fun. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. Well only 2 weeks left until Mexico!!!

Teacher Auction

Today was really fun. Me and Elyse had a good time hanging out with Ms. E and teaching her classes. A lot of people skipped so the classes were really small and no one gave us any problems. We made riddle sheets and brought in tons of candys. I'm really glad I decided to actually go to the teacher auction this year. I only wish I would've gone the other 3 years of high school. Time to go watch American Idol!!!

On Thursday when all the Juniors were taking their ACT I was the only one in my math class. I thought I might have to do work anyways but Ms. Shene brought in movies for us to watch and she also brought in brownies in cake for us. SO we watched Patch Adams. It was a good movie. It was sad sometimes but it was also very funny. And the brownies were good too. So that was my exciting time in math class. The End.

AP Bio

Today in AP Bio we had to finish counting our fruit flies. They are so disgusting. We have a tube filled with those little flies and everyday they reproduce and today there was like a million flies in ours. We also have to dump the adult flies in a tray and put them to sleep with "Fly Nap" and then count the boys and girls. After we count them we put them in "the Morgue" as Mr Kochenderfer calls the beaker filled with water. So that's what I get to look forward to the rest of this week. Looking at disgusting flies under a microscope and praying they don't fly in my mouth.
