 Happy Halloween! I left class early but we started working on questions from yesterday.

Happy Monday! Today in class we went over the poem “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The poem was taking about the amusement and risk of acrobats. The risk of walking on a single wire with no safety just balance and skill. This is a very hard task to complete and can teach you alot of things. I don’t have cheer practice today!

 In middle school everyone knew who I had a crush on. On Snapchat there was a is your crush comparable with you quiz. I took the quiz for fun seeing what it would do but my answers to the quiz were posted on the story that the quiz was on. I was so embarrassed that everyone knew because I didn’t know if he also had a crush on me. It took weeks for it to go away and people to stop talking about it. I have never liked that guy scene then.

 I knew our football game Friday night against Druid hills was over when we missed the touch down. We were down by 2 point with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. We were on the 20 yard line so close to the inzone. Our quarterback made a long pass to his team mate in the inzone but sadly the pass was cought but not in bounds. This gave the other team the ball leaving no hope for our last points to win the game.

 A day when I had no fun at all was the day I took the ACT. I was very stressed all week leading up to the test. I got into that class room and started the test. I sat in the test room from 8:00am to 2:26pm it was the longest test I have ever taken. I went home and slept till dinner. It was the most boring, not fun, draining day ever!

 I would like to say I’m sorry to my mom. I love her so much she is one of the biggest parts of my life. She has been there for me every day no matter what without fail. I want to apologize for the days I was mean or not nice. Growing up at a teen girl leads to a lot of mood changes and learning to control that. So I want to say sorry and thank you for being the support in my life for everything!

 I used to know how to knit. I would hand knit big blankets and gave them to friends and family as presents. This is because it was something that was relaxing and I enjoyed to do. I haven’t knit in a few years and now I don’t know what to do. If I where to start knitting again I would need to relearn how to knit.

 When I turned 16 not even a week after having my license I had a car accident. I got rear ended in a parking lot. However I was at fault for the accident, this is because I was adjusting my parking when a car pulled though spots to cut across the lot. The car came up straight behind me and as I was backing up the cars hit. This accident however didn’t cause any damage to my car.

 

 Happy Friday! Today In class we presented our poems. I gave a summary of the poem “The Gift Outright”. I can’t wait to cheer at the game tonight!

 I have to much free time on the weekends. I always spend my Saturdays sleeping. This is mostly because im tired from cheering the Friday before but I still have nothing to do. Even on Sunday I sit at home not really doing anything. This shows you how I have to much freetime on the weekends.
