This week in English class we are working on a essay about Midsummer Night's Dream. We have to write about gender roles and Shakespeare's views on them. I think that's what we have to write about. I lost the prompt, I have to ask for another one. I'm really behind on this essay. We were supposed to have the outline on Monday, and I didn't do it. We were supposed to do two body paragraphs by Wednesday and I didn't do it. The first draft is due tomorrow and I'm behind. But its alright, I'll get it done. Also in class, we talked about the different type of gender roles and stereotypes. I remember hearing that someone hated when people call women females. She said if you call a woman a female you're calling her a person with a vagina not who she actually is. We talked about a lot of female stuff. It felt like anatomy class again. That's what happened in English.

We may never see WT again. That really sucks. Yesterday for english class, we went on  a trip to BAM. It was  a good experience and it was fun to see other schools perform Shakespeare. And it was really cool to see our school perform. I know it takes a lot of courage to perform in front of people so I am really proud of my classmates for doing that. Anyways the trip yesterday was enjoyable. I like the pizza and apple juice they gave us because it was free and it was pretty good. I don't know why people were complaining about the pizza, how ungrateful can you possible be? I also liked the last game of yosemite we played. I came in 2nd which was really frustrating since it was the last time. There was too much pressure... I couldn't focus. Finally, I liked watching the performances from other schools not because it was Shakespeare but because they were confident enough to perform in front of people. I enjoy watching people take risks or something like that. Overall it was a great experience and a great opportunity we were all given. 

English

In English class we are reading a book called Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare. I believe that is the title. Anyways it's a book about a love square and two fairies which cause problems with the characters. I don't really like Shakespeare in general because it is hard to understand. I don't like things that are hard to understand. But I manage to get my work done so it's cool. In class we read and act out the play. And now, as an assignment, each group in the class has to perform part of the play in front of everyone. I don't like being in front of people and I don't like acting. I used to act a lot in my church and for competitions, but I don't do that anymore. It really makes me uncomfortable. I don't like being in front of people. ANYWAYS, the part I like about reading Shakespeare in english class is when WT comes. His games are so fun and they're very interactive. He gets me interested in Shakespeare at times which is crazy. I really like when we play yosemetie. I don't know how to spell that word, but you know what I'm talking about. I won twice in that game. Every time I win, I feel like a bad-ass. I love that feeling... it doesn't come around often. WT also taught us combat moves to use in the play. They look realistic but they're fake. I thought that was cool. Well, that's what we're doing in english class. 

Five Guys

Five Guys Burger and Fries is a great fast food restaurant that obviously sells burgers and fries. A lot of people say that this restaurant has the best burgers ever. In my opinion, all of there food is pretty good. But, I can't really tell the difference between burgers. Anyways, the burgers at this restaurant are way too expensive. Its like 8 dollars just for a cheeseburger. Honestly its not worth the 8 dollars. It fills me up, and its really good, but i always regret spending my money there after I eat. Anyways, when they give you fries, they give you them in a cup. I use that cup to get a beverage since the food is so expensive. A cheeseburger with fries is like 13 dollars. Imagine if I got the whole meal. You have to get medium fries though, so the lid can fit on the cup nicely. I did this yesterday. But I had too much fries so I saved them. When I went home my dog smelled them and jumped on the bag i saved them in. I didn't want the fries anymore after that. There were a lot of fries left. My dog is feeling better by the way. Ms.Hegeman told me to give an update of my dog. So there it is.. 

Class Stuff

I recently just started to take statistics with Mr.Rich. At first, I thought this class was going to be difficult. It turns out that it is extremely easy. We spend the whole class on the Do Now which can be done in like 30 seconds. I love his class. I like the fact that he's chill. He's not strict. People talk in his class a lot and I can also sleep in his class. Since the class is 1st period, it gives me time to rest, and it's easy so I can still get my work done. Today in Tomlin's class, Mr.Washington fell off a chair. It was so hilarious. He was leaning back and somehow fell forward. It was so hard for him to get up too. I love this guy, he is too funny. In Forensics, we have to draw a piece of cotton from the view of a microscope. It's just a bunch of lines so that was pretty easy. In Mr.Washington's class, we watched the movie "Higher Learning". It's a good movie but I don't really like the acting or the story line. I'm grateful that we're watching a movie in class though. In English class, we cursed each other out in Shakespeare's language. I didn't participate in the activity because I had no idea what I was saying. However, it's different from writing notes and stuff, so it was cool. And that's the last class I have... so yeah. 

My Dog Is Sick

My dog is sick. Her name is feefee and she's a shitzu. Apparently, something is wrong with her spine. She can't run, it's hard for her to walk and it's hard for her to get comfortable. She's forced to stay in a cage all day until her spine gets better. She was also given a lot of pills. Usually I would feel bad for a dog going through pain, but with this dog, I really don't care. She's so spoiled, and now she's getting spoiled even more because she's sick. I know she's a dog, but it's ridiculous. I hate that. And I know she hates me because everytime I walk into a room, she follows me and starts barking at me viciously. It's like she's protecting my siblings from me as if I'm dangerous. Everytime we make eye contact she has a look in her eyes like a wolf about to attack.This has been going on for 6 years. Even after I finish playing with her and feeding her, she would still bark at me like she's wants to kill me. She's so annoying. This happens in the morning when I'm waking up and at night. Sometimes she even bites me. She doesn't or hasn't bitten anyone else from what I know of. When we first got her, she used to bite me to the point where I would start bleeding. Scars would be there for weeks. I usually love dogs. But this dog, I truly hate with a passion. She's so unappreciative and sees me as an enemy. And I'm the one who picked her out at the shelter...smh. I can't wait until it's her time to die.That means no more noise, no more picking up poop, no more wee wee pads, no more smell of dog food, no more throw up on the carpet, and no more walks.. Life would be good again.
