Food

I love eating food so much. Being a teenager, I am eating so much. When I was younger, I would be fine with 3 or 2 meals a day. Now I eat constantly. I don't even know how much I eat a day. I usually eat whenever I can. Before I go to school, at school, and right after school I eat. I even eat again when I go out to skate. When I get home from skating I eat dinner. Even sometimes after dinner or before I go to bed I make something else to eat. I am always hungry! I hate when I am really hungry and I have no food. Sometimes I spend all my money and my friends go to eat, so I have to watch them eat. It is so tempting to eat when people around you are. But when I am eating with everyone else it is the best.

Cartoons

All my life I have enjoyed cartoons. They are so funny. My favorite cartoons today would probably be south park, family guy, futurama, spongebob, and the simpsons. These cartoons always make me laugh. When I was younger, I would sit in front of the tv and watch nickelodeon all day. I would enjoy all the shows that would come on there. Today the only show I like on nickelodeon is spongebob. All the good old shows aren't played any more. I don't like the new cartoons on nick. They aren't as interesting to me. There should be a channel that plays all the old cartoons. That would be so cool.

time is so fast

This school year is quickly coming to an end. I will soon be a junior and no longer a sophomore. High school will only have 2 more years on me. I am almost halfway done with high school. I am excited and kind of scared to move on. Next year I have to decide what colleges I am interested in and start applying to them. I am scared I won't do well in my classes and colleges will reject me. If only time would take its time and slow down.

old cars

It is so cool seeing classic cars that are in good condition. When I see an old car I think about how hard it must have been for the owner to keep it so nice for all those years. I know it would be hard for me to do that. I like seeing classic cars.

grades

My grades this semester are horrible compared to the first semester. I feel like I am not doing as good as I could be doing. Last semester I had all A's and one B, because of one test. This semester my grades are scattered with A's, B's, and C's. It is hard for me to raise my grades when I have so much homework to make up because I was sick. I planned on getting really good grades this year, but that's not working out. I feel like I should have better grades, because I understand everything that we are learning and have learned in all my classes. Hopefully I can raise my lower grades up.

ap classes

I am so curious to how hard an AP class really is. Could it be total hell for me? or could it be just as normal as any other class. Does the name AP make it much different then if it weren't there? I think AP classes will be way harder than standard classes, but at the same time easier to learn and pay attention. Most people in standard classes don't really care if they don't have good grades. They usually care if they are passing or failing. People who take AP classes are people that want good grades, so they pay attention and try to learn. I think the title just seems scarier than the actual class.

class rules

I think the class rules are cool and funny, but I really don't like the "no sophomore shall wear socks" rule.  I don't want to have to stop before I get into class and take off my socks. Just hearing someone say, "I am not aloud to wear socks in my english class" sounds so ridiculous. I don't think I'm going to follow this rule. Are people really going to check if I am wearing socks? I'll tell them to get away from me if they do. It's pretty funny though.

so much work

This weekend I feel over satiated with work. Everything from all my classes has bundled up. I have to write my research paper by next week, write a two page story and answer questions after reading chapters 1-4 in "Animal Farm", write a skit for my spanish class, and try to teach myself my math homework. Plus I have some homeworks and worksheets to do for chemistry. I feel like giving up on all of it, but I'm going to force myself to. I wonder why I do all this.

classes

For next year I am taking the following classes:

-English 5/6 honors

-AP US History

-Pre calc. honors

-physics or AP biology

-Spanish 5/6

-Digital Photography Adv.

Yikes! I hope I can handle all this.

research paper

uhh.

freedom

I remember being a kid and having so many rules. When I was about 9, I had to ask to go outside or to even go around the block. The furthest I was aloud to go was to the gas station down the street. I would love going there, because I felt free and far from home. I would go there to get candy with my friends. I would normally be in front of my house playing with my neighbors though. By the time I was 11, I would be aloud to go around my area all day. The rule for me was to be home by dark. I would go by the grocery store, to my friends house, or anywhere in walking range. Sometimes I was aloud to take lightrail to the mall, which was only 4 stops away. When I was 13, I was taking the lightrail everywhere. I could go to downtown San Jose or Sunnyvale. I was only aloud to if I was with a friend. Now I am 16 and I am aloud to go to San Francisco or Sacramento with my friends. I feel like I have so much freedom to do what I want. 

san francisco

This weekend I went to San Francisco. My friends and I planned on skating, but we mostly drove around. That is the down part of skating SF, everything is so spread out there. The first place we went to was way to windy and we were tired from the long car ride there, so we left. We drove to the downtown library and skated for about ten minutes until we got kicked out. After we drove all the way down folsom street to go to a spot that no one skated. As we continued to waist gas, we went to get clam chowder. Unfortunately it was too packed and we couldn't find parking. The sun was starting to go down by the time we decided to go to the skatepark. The skatepark was fun. The lights gave us plenty of time to skate. After the skatepark, we ate at Jack in the Box in San Mateo. While we were in San Mateo we went to the skatepark there and had some more fun. Then we made our way home. This was probably my worst time skating SF, but it was fun being with my friends and skating the skateparks.

hair

I don't know how I like my hair. For the past two years i have been growing it out and then cutting it short. When it is long I feel messy, but when it is short I feel like i look better with long hair. I like it when it is in between sort and long. I guess i am just searching for a way to keep my hair.

Motif

When Mr. Thompson bagan talking about Motif's in rooms, I bagan to wonder what the motif in my room was. I guess a motif would be skateboarding from all my posters, clothes and skateboards. I guess another would be a music motif from My ipod, ihome, and speakers. I bet there are many more motifs in my room. I don't know what else would be one.

TV

I barely watch TV anymore. I remember when I was in 6th grade I lived in front of my tv. My friend used to always say he never watches tv and I would think "what else is there to do?". Now I found the answer to my question. I am usually on my computer during the time I am home or I am cleaning my room. Another thing keeping me away from tv is video games. Sometimes I play with my ipod or listen to music and fall asleep. With all these things, I get occupied and carried away from tv. I hate watching tv now. Commercials are so annoying. Sometimes I do watch tv, but it is not usually my first resort. 

music

I hate when people ask me what kind of music I listen to though. I don't really have an answer for them. I like all kinds of music, I don't only listen to one genre. A lot of the music on my ipod is music from skate videos. Skate videos have songs that go good with the skating and makes the video have a feeling to it. When I was younger I didn't listen to much music, but when I did it was usually one genre. I normally listened to the radio. Radio stations usually only play one genre. Now, I don't like the radio. I don't live for music though, its just there.

job

I really need a job. I finally got my license and now I am stuck without a car. I have no money to get one. If i got a job then I think I would feel stressed out from going to school and going to work. I wouldn't have any time to do what I want. Eventually I will need to get a job. I also wouldn't want my grades in school to go down from the stress at work. And I wouldn't have a way of getting to work without a car. It's a really weird situation for me. I want to work so I can get a car and I want a car so I can get to work.
