summer school

I don't know if I should take pre-calculus over the summer. It would be nice to have it over with and move on to calculus, but I like having a free summer. I can't make up my mind about it.

phones

These days it is so likely for people to have a cell phone. Almost all of my friends have phones. Ten years ago, barely anyone had a cell phone. If you were to look back on how much has changed in ten years, you would see a whole list of things. There are still people with out cell phones today and I don't know how they could go out with out one. I feel vulnerable without my cell phone. I bet that all phones in ten years will be touch screen and will be like computers.

winter break

Why does every other school outside of sjusd have winter break and my school has no winter break? Why only a 4 day weekend? All of my friends have the week off and I will be excluded from whatever they do. On top of not having the week off, It rained all 4 days and It is going to be sunny the 3 days I go back to school. Why do things like this happen? It's ridiculous. 

aging

Every day I feel a little bit older. I find myself telling myself that I am a teenager now. And then I realize all my childhood is passing away forever. It's hard to accept that I am going to be an adult someday. It makes me scared and a little bit excited. I have to choose who I am going to be everyday that is coming.

Shoes

Ever since I was a kid I was always into shoes. I love shoes, especially new shoes. I always notice peoples shoes everywhere. They can say a lot about people. If they have really old or bad shoes, they probably can't afford good shoes. If they have nice shoes, they probably have money and a sense of style. I want to get some more new shoes. Maybe some more Nike SB Blazers. Those are my favorite shoes to skate.

laptop

I barely use my laptop at school. I use it more as a personal computer. I think it would be really cool if all the stuff in the school books were programed into the laptop and we only needed our laptops at school. That would be so easy. We could not worry about having paper or pencils. All we need is our laptops. But I guess I can continue with my personal laptop for the school year.

talk

When I am at school I don't ever feel like talking to people. I don't know why. I always talk when I'm not at school. Im not as quiet as everyone thinks I am. If all my friends went to the same school as me I think it would be different. It is like two different regions; my friends at school and my out of school friends. They are so different. I feel like the middle man being on two different sides.

Night

After reading Night by Elie Wiesel, I looked around my room and felt so thankful for everything in it. I won't take my possessions for granted. I got in to the book and Elie's feelings made me feel as though I were in the holocaust. When I look away from the book I feel safe being in my room. I just think Elie wrote the book in a good way to put the reader in the story.

Missing school

I don't like missing school. I like having the day off, but the next day is like trying not to fall from jumping out of a car. I get so behind on everything. I like when I miss the days where nothing happens in all my classes and I am right in place. I hate being left behind.

Football

Today is the Superbowl and I am reminded by the yelling of my neighbors. I haven't been into football since I stopped playing it. I use to play in elementary school and I got more into skating. If I were to play football again I don't think I would enjoy it at Gunderson. I would rather skate with my friends then have to play football with some people I go to school with. I would consider playing if I went to Santa Teresa, but I don't. My interest and passion in football is abating as I keep skating. I haven't watched a football game in over a year. I barely found out who is playing in the Superbowl last Friday. I feel so ignorant about footballnow. I used to know so much about it and I used to love it so much.

sun shine

It is way to hot for the winter season. It shouldn't be like this. I feel like its April or May. Thinking about how hot it is now makes me worry about how hot summer is going to be. Last summer I didn't want to even go outside because of the heat. I went to San Francisco about twice a week because it was cold there. This summer I might have to live there if it's too hot. I heard the north pole won't have any ice this summer. It especially sucks that I have no air conditioning in my house. All I have is fans. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
