Choir Trip

Our concert choir is going to UMSL tomorrow. I am really excited and have a feeling that we are going to do really good. Everything that we've been working on in choir has been getting really good, and all the pieces of music are coming together. Plus, The ride up there is going to be fun because I'm sitting by Brittany on the bus. I get to miss a whole day of school, that sounds good to me. Even though I still have to make up all the work that I missed, which I have to get today. Mr. Z seems to be pretty pumped about this too because he feels like our choir is really good, which I think it is too. Tomorrow we get to go sing at UMSL and students that are there for learning to be choir teachers are going to judge us. This should be a fun trip.

Thanksgiving Ruined

For my first Thanksgiving as host, I bought the biggest turkey they had in the store. I got home and prepared it as I usually would. As I was waiting for it too cook, I decided I might as well do some cleaning. I swept the floor and then decided that I was really thirsty. All we had to drink was water, so I figured since the turkey was still cooking I should go out to the grocery store and buy some drinks. My sister that was coming over for Thanksgiving requested to have some apple juice, but the grocery store was sold out! So I headed to another store and went to go see if they had apple juice, but they didn't. I thought this was crazy but I decided to go to the next store in town; no luck. I realized that I couldn't have any apple juice for my sister so I just got orange juice and drove back home. Then I forgot all about the turkey, and it is burnt! And that’s why we all ate hamburgers.

I Deserve A Day Off

I deserve a day off from school because I always do my work in school. Sometimes, I forget to do my homework, but I usually always do my homework and turn it in. Also, I have school five days of the week, that is way to much. I have to wake up early every morning and get on the bus at 6:30. I think that I deserve this break from school because I am a good student for the most part. I don't really do things that are bad or wrong. A day off from school would be a great opportunity for me to relax for a day and have no homework to do.

Flash Mobs

The article basically stated that there is a good side and a bad side to flash mobs. In some occasions, they can be used for entertainment. For example, if some young man wanted to propose to his wife through a flash mob, that would simply be sweet. On the other hand, flash mobs have been growing into something disappointing lately. Some flash mobs are being used to get what they want, or protest against things that they feel are wrong. Teenagers are starting flash mobs to go to stores and get free merchandise that they want by threatening through song. The London Riot had taken place and that was a huge downfall in the flash mob reputation. This is not a good thing for those who just start flashmobs to have fun. I feel that this matter should be taken not so seriously, for most people are just expressing there feelings through dance and just doing it to have fun, not destroy Government. Will the Governments' see this as disaster or delight? I guess this will entirely be the Governments' call. Governments are starting to think badly; and may feel they need to just say no to flash mobs.

If I were president

If I were president I would change a lot of things in the United States. One thing i would do my best to change would be our jobs being sent overseas. This issue has made many Americans not have a job, and also put a lot of people in a bad financial situation for their families. Another problem I would do my best to resolve is gas prices. Gas prices are much to high and should be lowered. With the gas guzzling cars being made today, most people can not afford gas at the price of almost four dollars. I don't know if this is really possible to do though because the demand for gas these days is high, and we are running out of it. Another thing I would do to help the economy would be to strive for better work flow. I would have more jobs be put out, like I mentioned earlier with the whole "overseas" thing. The last thing I would do, is ensure all equality for people, that's what I would do.

Election.

I honestly didn't really care who won the election. I feel that on both sides of the election, both Romney and Obama lie, because that's what they have to do in order to win. A lot of people didn't want Obama to win because our economy is so bad and they feel that he is the cause of this, but if you really think about it, the economy was already bad to start with when Obama got elected. It is said that people didn't want to vote for Romney because he was planning to ship our jobs overseas and not focus on the middle class. I don't really know what to believe in Presidential elections. I'm alright with Obama being president, I don't really mind him at all. He is a good public speaker, and seems to be able to handle things just fine.

The Fairy

I was walking down the old country road on a breezy morning, and I happened to see something unusual. There was a little girl sitting by old farmer Joe's pick-up truck. The strangest art of this encounter was that this little girl, had wings. Her skin was perfect and her cheeks were perfectly rosy red. The first idea that popped into my mind is that she was a fairy. I decided to walk a little closer to the strange girl, and noticed that she was looking into a mirror. It was a round mirror, one of the ones you would see at some big pageant. As I walked closer and closer I started to realize that she was humming a tune. It was a peaceful kind of sound, like sitting by a waterfall on a quiet night. I finally walked to her, and she seemed startled.
