Review on Week #39

      Well ummm we're almost done! I mean we started finals this week and just those finals were already agonizing.Let me start with the chemistry final. Boyyyyy it was grueling.I definitely needed more time and I just wasn't as prepared as I thought I would be. To be honest I really think that I did an okay job on the test either way it goes but I don't feel that I did all the way to my potential. But yea I didn't have a final in world studies which is even better. And then in geometry that test was okay but then again every time I feel that I've done good the test scores always prove me wrong. But enough of that I just have to worry about studying for these next 4 classes that I have left. Ughhh I have so much to do in a whole bunch of time.

Review on #38

      Well this week was just another week like all others. I mean it is kind of nice that we are getting close to the end and we barely have two weeks left of school. Wow! Isn't that something? Before we know it we'll be walking back into school this fall as juniors. No matter of fact as upperclassmen. Lol I know that may seem a bit 'thirsty' but believe me when I tell you that the thirst is definitely real right now. This year is the year to make it count. I mean this year is to make sure everything is on point the year to not play around. So that is why I took it upon myself to say that I'm letting go of social media for a while just so that I can get my  mind wrapped around the fact of studying and stuff for ACTs and more important tests. I am so excited! But anyways yea that's basically all I have left to say on that matter just be ready for some more reminiscing and stuff for the next blog post too.

Chicago Poem

Chicago

When I Think Of Chicago
I Think Of Home
When I Think Of Home
I Think Of Chicago 

With All The Police Sirens
To The Want To Be Thugs
To The Many Parades
And To All The Disgusting Bugs

No Matter Where I Go
Chicago Is My Home 
No Matter Where I Am
Chicago Is My Home

When I Think Of Chicago
I Think Of Home
When I Think Of Home
I Think Of Chicago

Review on Week #37

      This week was just like any other week to be honest. As usual I'm still waiting until the last day of finals so that my summer can start because I refuse to be in school after finals and there is no reason to. But other than that I did get tickets to the summer jam. It will be a blast because there will be some really great people there that I have wanted to see for forever. Don't tell anybody but that will actually be my first concert and I'm curious as to how I would act because I already know I'm going to lose my voice. Lol but yes expect another dry blog post next week too.

Review on Week #36

      Well to be honest I am really done with these blog posts. Why? Well because it's getting closer and closer to the end of the year and my efficiency for school work is really deminishing. I'm just waiting until the last day of finals so that I can just get my summer started already. My summer is going to be oh so exciting, I can already tell. I mean my birthday is in the summer so what's not to love about that. But as you can probably tell I have nothing else to really talk about so I'll just continue to just talk about a whole bunch of nothing until I feel that I have reached a satisfactory amount of words.i wish that I could somehow put emojis in hear and have them be seen because then that would allow my posts to just look better.

Review on Week #35

    Well yea it's official.It is official that we only have like a month of school let. I am so glad for that because I have been waiting for the last day of school since the first day of school. Lbvs I really can't wait till the last day of finals. And when it's summer time my birthday rolls around! But I am still stunned/shocked at the fact that this fall I'll be starting up school again but only this time I'll be 16 and a junior, no longer 15 and a sophomore. These last 2 years have really gone by quickly I mean it felt like just yesterday I walked into the wrong the division on the first day of school. Lol but then again it feels like tomorrow I'll be walking across the stage at graduation and going off to college. I'll stop with my reminiscing now because I'm starting to think about the future. Haha but nothing really happened this week it was kind of basic also.

Review on Week #34

      This review will be another boring one because nothing really happened this week. Well Mother's Day was Sunday and my family and I kept up our tradition of going to the cemetery. We go to the cemetery to visit my great grandmother's grave. But it was a pretty chill weekend for me nothing really excited happened. Nothing as exciting as last weekend when I went to Six Flags Great America. Now that was fun! See I'm talking about anything just so that I can have a lot of words on here.

Group Quiz Break Up

            Well I was thinking a way we can break up the quiz groups are by like maybe sometimes divisions and birthdays. You can find out whose birthday is in what month and if there aren’t many in that month then you can add them on to another month with fewer occupants. But if that doesn’t work you could do the thing with divisions. That most likely wouldn’t work because there are so many divisions and it is least likely that there would be three people from the same division in the class. But other than that I can’t think of another way you could divide 30 people into 10 groups.

Anthology Poem

Candy Bloomfield (Kiarra Holmes)
My sweet sweet Violent Bloomfield
My baby is dying
My baby has died
We never really got to have mother-daughter talks
I’m so ashamed that I allowed cocaine to overtake my life
I would never get to hear my sweet grandbaby call me granny
If only I knew why you had your head down so much
Even though i’ve been high I still recognized your feelings
I'm so sorry that it took me this long to want to make a change
I can't believe that my baby is gone
I can't believe that my baby's baby is gone
Our family can never be the same again
I could no longer live if you weren't there either
So I tried to clean myself up I really did
But with no one here to be my motivation I just can't do it
I started the withdrawal stage
It was just so hard not getting my daily dose of the good stuff
So I went to my dealer and ordered as much as I could afford
Then I went in an alley and snorted away my feelings
Then I drifted away into a land where I was with my baby and her baby
There I laid in the alley next to the street by which my baby and died.

Review on Week #32

      Well here I am again. This week was another basic week. I really am just counting until the last week of school so that I can get out there. I don't know exactly what I'm doing this summer but I'm pretty sure it'll be a hundred times better than sitting in school. It's nearing the end of April and I am so glad because on May 6 Would be like 2 months away from my birthday. I'll be 16 years old and I sit can't believe it because I still have all my little memories from my childhood. I believe I'm still like 8/9 at heart and I love it.

Review on Week #31

      Well this week was kind of basic. It was basic because there was nothing really happened that was worth talking about. I mean it was the week after spring break and I did not want to come to school at all. I mean I had got so accustomed to my own schedule of sleeping in late and not going to bed until an early morning time. And me going to school just totally messed up the process. Tear Tear because I really loved that extra amount of sleep that I got while I was on spring break.

Review on Week #28

      Well this marks down that it is officially only 3 more weeks of swimming and I thank God. lol but it has been a long 3 weeks and it is almost finally over. This weekend was pretty cool, I Mean my baby cousin(Journey) came over and it's always a good time when she comes over. But besides that it was actually pretty chill. It was a day longer for me because I didn't Go to school on Friday but still good none the less. Ha but Yea I'm actually wondering what I'll walk into Monday because I know that I'm gonna get handed a stack of work like, this is what you missed. Then I'll be like really? Lol this week's blog review was so informal. But I didn't feel like being formal this week mainly because it was such a good week and I had to talk in a way I would normally explain stuff when I'm excited or interested in a certain topic. But I'm done with this I'll be back next week.

Review on Week #27

      Well this was the first week of the PARCC testing and I am just wore out! It was a bit confusing at first but I feel that it's going to be a bit smoother next week because we already know what to expect. Anywayyyyss I only had to swim two days this week because of the schedule and the end of this week signifies that we only have like 3 more weeks of swimming left. I just absolutely can not wait until it's all over with though because swimming is just not for me especially since I'm in the shallow end. But next week is Journey's(my baby cousin) week to come over and I'm excited because I get to see my little buddy again. But I'll do this little blog post thing again next week!

Review on Week #26

      Well I had an eventful week. I had started swimming in gym and I had to program on Thursday. I was so confused during programming because I just didn’t know what I wanted to do as in taking classes next year. But I’m just glad that I finally got that over with. I also have to make a speech about things that I am passionate about. That is a bit of a challenge because I don’t know exactly what I’m passionate about. I mean I like some things, but I don’t necessarily think that I am ‘passionate about those things. Well I'll think of something.

Review on Week #25

                Well I decided to do my own blog review this week. I actually find it easier to do than commenting on someone else’s blog. But this week was okay nothing spectacular really happened. But one thing I know is that next week is about to be crazy. Why? Well because in P.E, we’re starting swimming. And that right there is so going to put a bummer in my mood because I just don’t like swimming. Another thing is that I can’t swim, so that is another negative as to why I don’t want to swim. But I’ll just see how things turn out next week.

Review on Week #23

Well this week was a bit hectic with the snow day and all but the weekend was everything. I mean on Friday I saw relatives from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then there was a card game that involved all the family at my grandma’s house. And on Saturday there was a dance marathon that helped all the children at Luries Children’s Hopital. That was fun also because I was with friends the whole day. But other than that I had just got home on Sunday. It was not weird at all that I was not really home all weekend and it was great!

Seminal Events Project

Seminal Events of Richard Wright's Life

Review on Week #22

Well this week was cool. I actually got some work done in most of my classes and I am proud of myself. I got to see some real live performers from China. On Friday there was a Chinese dance show in celebration of the Chinese New Year. My baby cousin Journey came over so that was cool. But I couldn’t go through my Likes detoxification. It worked from Thursday until the night of Sunday. I just couldn’t do it because I would get on the app when I am bored so yeah. I got bored and ended up logging back in.

Review on Week #21

      Well this week was actually a pretty chill week for me because I rarely had to do much much work but it was still cool. I am so not prepared for this Chemistry quiz that I have tomorrow and that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that I have Chemistry first period and I know that this quiz will already take a lot out of me. But I watched the Grammys this Sunday and it was utter bs. Only performance that I even remotely liked was Kanye West and that's it.

Review on Week #20

Well the first semester is finally over and I’m so happy! Why? Well because it means that I only have one more semester until its summer time. And summer time for me means birthday season. Haha but seriously though I cannot wait until the last day of school. But my weekend was pretty cool because it was my mom’s birthday and we went out for her so that’s a plus. But also Journey came back over this weekend so that was another plus. But the negative is that it was a major blizzard Sunday and I was home bound for like 2 days.

Review on Week #19

      Well next week is finals and I am so nervous. Well I’m only nervous about the first day. You would be worried too if you had the periods I did! I have Chemistry first period. After that is World Studies. The last of them all is Geometry. Chemistry and Geometry have got to be by far the two hardest subjects that I’m worried about. One thing I refuse to do is be a crammer. A crammer to me is a person that’s all like “Got to pass finals!” and “I have to stay up all night and study!”. Yes I will never be one of those people.

Internet Ed Draft

Coming from a deep sleep, Ed wakes up as 43 year old, married business man. He wakes up in the his bed with the 43 year old's wife. So Ed is really shocked, he hurries out of bed and looks in the mirror. Only to see whom he looks like. He heard the wife say:  
"Honey? What are you doing?" She asks curiously. And Ed replied back:
 " Oh nothing just getting ready for work,"he said back urgently.      
So Ed decides to get dressed for work to see that his closet is full of business suits so he assumes that he must be a business man.  
After Ed is done with his getting ready for work he decides to be bold and ask the wife what his name was in a jokingly manner. So he starts of the conversation like:
"So, honey, just out of curiosity, what is my name and how old am I again?" He would ask jokingly with underlying curiosity. And she would reply back:  
"Oh honey you're so funny! You're 43 year old William and I'm 30 year old Cheryl!" She says back also jokingly.And he replies back:
 "Sweetheart  I may have asked you how old I am, but that doesn't mean I don't know how old you are!" He says back in a 'you're not fooling anybody' look. So Ed thinks to himself that he now has an age and a name so he allows William to guide the body to work. So as he gets to work he sees that he works in the Willis Tower. So now Ed knows that he is the heart of Chicago.He goes into work and all he hears is:
" What are we going to do Will?!”
"How's it going with the internet Will?"
"Good morning Will, when will the internet be working well again?!"
And Will's mouth automatically responds:
" Please do not worry there are technicians here that are doing all they can. they head of the technicians has informed me that they should be through with repair eking the internet before the end of work today."
After his response all Will (Ed) heard was:
 "Thanks Will!”
 "You're the best manager this place has had yet!", this statement comes from a long time employee of the Willis Tower.
Judging by all the questions and that last statement  directed towards him, Ed concludes that Will must be the manager of the Willis Tower. The day before there was an Internet breakdown inside the Willis Tower and that already has everyone on the edge. The technicians are doing all they can to get the internet back working and they should be finish by the time the end of the day is over or maybe even earlier depending on how bad the problem is. Now Will (Ed) knows that he has to work on his behavior the next few hours, so that he doesn't seem suspicious to others. He looks throughout the building for his office and he finally finds it with a sign that says
"William Petri 'Manager'".
And when Ed sees this he sees that he is very successful in this body. So Ed believes that since he's the manager, that he can just be in his office all day since the internet is down. But that is not even the case. As he's sitting in his office chair he just so happens to look outside to enjoy the wonderful view of the city that Chicago has to offer. And he spots an unknown object on its way towards the Willis Tower and he pulls out his office drawer and presses a button that all the coworkers know as an attack button. So as soon as he presses the button everyone in the building goes haywire. He is trying to get everyone to stay calm but it's just not working.
Then all of a sudden the head technician comes up to Will with a relieved yet now panicked expression. He tells Will that he and his team had managed to successfully repair the internet servers and that everything is back to normal. Will (Ed) suddenly has an idea that he can just get on his computer in his office so that he can surf the internet and leave the current body that he's in. But as he looks out the window he sees that he doesn't have much time depending on how close the unknown object is. In which now he can tell that it's a mini jet.
Will (Ed) looks out through his office door and sees that all of the employees took the alert very seriously and they are already very far away from the tower even the technicians. He hurries to his office and hurriedly logs into his computer. He knows that it'll take a while for the computer to boot back up so he looks at the status of the mini jet and sees that it's about five to seven minutes away. He looks back to the computer and sees that it's only 25% is loaded. He just hopes and prays that the computer boots back up in time to leave.
Five minutes later he looks back at the computer only to see that it's now at 99%. He looks 
back up at  the mini jet and sees that it is about to directly crash right into Will's main office window. 
He braces himself for the impact when the computer boots back up. He is so glad that he managed to 
set his computer to a setting where the internet automatically opens when rebooted. So right as the 
mini jet is starts to crash into the main window Ed allows Will to be back in control of his body as he 
is surfing through the Internet once again.

Review on Review #18

Well this weekly blog post won’t be full of hate. Why? I just found out that I did awesome on the Chemistry test we took a couple of weeks ago. I was so nervous on that test but all my studying paid off. Haha I had a grade of 118/100. That is actually a great accomplishment for me considering I don’t usually study. But this just goes to show that studying actually does help you a whole lot especially on test. Haha this is a major change from last week’s blog post since I’m actually writing this in a good mood.

Review on Week #17

      I don’t even see why I have to write this weekly blog thingy for now. Why? Well I’m not in the best of moods right now and just writing this blog is only making me even madder. Sorry if I don’t seem so enthusiastic to write this because I’m not. Hopefully I’ll be a bit more upbeat on next week’s weekly blog post. I just don’t get why we have to do it anyway since nothing special really happens during the week anyway. All that happens during the week are tests, tests, and more tests. Anyways I’ll write back next week.

Review on Week #16

Well here I am in 2015. Did anything change? Nope I’m basically still the same person. But I liked the way how Cps just had us come back to school and then cancel it on Wednesday and Thursday, but had us come back on Friday. That was just crazy and that is why I stayed at home on Friday because it would have felt like coming to school on a Monday. So my extra-long extended break felt pretty good and it really was much needed. Well I’m going to dread going back on Monday because, that’ll be my first time back in like almost a week.

Review on Week #15

      Well this week went just great. Why? Well because it was our last week before out winter break started. And in almost every class on Friday we barely did anything. But of course we had to do something in chemistry like always. Lol but I’m just glad that I get two weeks off from waking up early and school. Haha but I also can’t wait until Christmas, I wonder what I got? But this is my last review until school starts back in 2015. Well maybe I’ll be different in 2015 but, for now I’m still talking nonsense to make 100 words.
