Untitled the movie

So we recently watched a movie in class about a boy named William Miller and how he followed around a rock band. I absolutely loved this movie! I think even if you are not writing a profile you should watch it. Its a cross between a chick flick and a great kids movie. But watch out no kids should really watch it. But I absolutely loved it! Great choice Mr. Andy!

The Wonderful World of Bowling

So I have this bowling class on Mondays and Wednesdays and its kinda cool except for the fact that I absolutely suck! I suck so bad that I should be a pin that gets knocked down. So here I am in this class that I really really suck at bowling like games of 81 and 54. And for those who dont know a perfect game is 300.... so you know from that that I totally suck. Well to add insult to injury my instructor Coach Mays is walking around and comes and looks at my paper..... He finds that I not only suck at bowling I also suck at Math, I didnt add up my score right. This is about the time that I was really about to give up, but I knew that I had to get through two games. So I'm bowling on my second game and the ball gets stuck on my ring finger and when I swing back to throw the ball it falls behind me..... I was literally about to melt to the floor from embarrassment.

First College Football Game

When I was ten, my dad wanted to take my mother and I to an Auburn football game in Auburn, Alabama. I had never been to a real football game and I had no idea what to think.

We got there three hours before the game. My dad took us to a tailgate party for hamburgers and fries. Then he took us to the shops around campus for some shirts, sweatshirts, and cheerleading pom-poms. I wasso excited and so pumped by the time the game started, I couldn't sit still.

We had wonderful seats, right in the middle of the feild and about ten rows up. I felt like I could literally reach out and touch the players. We soon found out that football really wasn't what I was into. I wanted to watch the cheerleaders.

After the first half, the cheerleaders, band, and marenettes all came out and gave a wonderful halftime show. But soon after half time I was ready to go. My parents on the otherhand were not. So I slept threw th second half. At the age of ten I was exausted.

Hansen

I moved to Brentwood, Tennessee when I was eight nd in the middle of third grade. Where I had moved from we had played outside and rarely listened to the radio or watched tv. The first song I ever heard the radio, after the move, was "Um, Bop" by Hansen. From that moment on I was in love!

Two weeks later I bought their cd. I played the same song over and over again. After six weeks of that my dad was ready to Um Bop that cd in the garbage. About six months later my mother bought me Hansen Concert tickets. I was so excited I almost peed myself. But I knew that come two months from ten I was going to see Hansen in real life!

When concert day came, I was so excited and ready to go. I remember that day was the longest day I had ever experienced.

Clicks

The first time I was introduced to "clicks" was when I move to Brentwood, Tennessee from Columbia, Tennessee. I was in the middle of 3rd grade and was behind. I had no idea what I was getting into.

As I got use to school I began to notice who was a "popular" kid and why. These kids where the ones who knew each othe from diapers. They did everything together. Then I began to notice the "football jocks". At the time there wasn't a school team but there was the Brentwood Blaze team. Then there where teh Brentwood Blaze Cheerleaders. This is wear I fit into. My mother signed me up and I was so grateful for the fourteen instant friends. And like every school we had our "nerds" or "gamers". These kids where the classic glasses wearing, greasy haired boys, with an occassional girl.

Two Stories

We had to read two memoirs this week in English. One was about this kid spying on a family in New York, and how he thought the family was weird for not having a tv. I personally think its not normal in my everyday life not to have one but I do not agree with the kid to judge them just because of the tv situation.

Now the second memoir was about a girl who was obessed with a band member of the stones. It showed what happens when someone lives in a fantasy and suddenly tht fantasy gets crushed. The girl didnt realize that fantasy doesnt always turn into reality and sometimes its best to live in a fantasy than experience things in real life.

Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment

"ESTJ (Extra version, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment)
You are practical, realistic, and matter-of-fact. You are decisive and quickly move to implement decisions. You organize projects and people to get things done, and focus on getting results in the most efficient way possible. You take care of routine details. You have a clear set of logical standards, systematically follow them and want others to also. You are forceful in implementing your plans.

Famous people with your ESTJ personality include: President Lyndon B. Johnson, Harry S. Truman, John D. Rockefeller, Rev. Billy Graham and George W. Bush."


I took the test Mr. Andy assigned us to on facebook. Although, I believe I gave completely honest answers I don't think that the ESTJ is really my personality. So I definitely don't think this test is legit and I would not tell anyone else to take the test. Of course, this is solely my opinion.

He also asked us questions to answer about our spirituality....
Do you have a spiritual belief or practice?
Yes, I'm a Baptist.
Is belief itself a problem?
I do not think belief could ever really be a problem. Humans need something to believe in. Even people who do not believe in God still are strong believers that there is no God so it still allows them to believe in something.
How important is tolerance of differing beliefs in regard to this topic?
I really do think in today's society that tolerance in different beliefs are very important. If we did not have tolerance then everyone would be in conflict all day long and every day. No one want to live in a world like that.
Do you believe in a divine being or higher power?
Yes I do believe in a divine being... Which is God in my opinion.
How do you relate (or not) to this concept of a higher power?
In my religion I believe that God is like a father who will guild all his children. And like many people experience, I think I can relate a lot to my Father. See he was always there for me and will always be there for me. Now, like every child I have disobeyed but at the same time I have apologized and asked for forgiveness. So I can relate to him as a child does with a parent.
What is the relationship between the physical and spiritual world?
The relationship between the physical and spiritual world is ever important. If you are good with God and his followers in the spiritual world then he will grant you different things in the physical sense. Also the more spiritual you are the more "the devil" or other people try to test your faithfulness.
How important (or not) is spirituality to your personal identity?
I would say that my spirituality is very important in my personal identity, because when people see me and watch what I do they will see a Christian and someone who cherished what she does.
What is your attitude to people whose views on spiritual matters differ from your own?
I always try to have an open mind to different views on spiritual matters. In my opinion my way is correct but I also enjoy hearing what others have to say or what they think. Many people that are Christians are not that open but I've always been taught to be kind to your neighbors. And I take that to the next level and try to invite them into things and give them the chance to be open with me and have an open mind to my beliefs and things.
Do you believe your spiritual beliefs (or lack thereof) continue to change over time or generally stay the same?
I definitely think that spiritual beliefs do change over time. The more you talk to others and get a better understanding of what the meaning is about what you believe then you will start to "tweak" what you think.
What is the importance of change or its lack?
Change is very important because if change doesn't happen then the world wouldn't be where it is today. Everyone needs change and everyone changes. Change is a part of life.

Assignment

So for homework we are suppose to write a blog about our writing history and rhetorical situations.



Well I guess I should start out by saying I'm not a writer. My teachers in the past have always put red all over my papers. Some have said that I dont put in enough effort but yet I try my best. But some people dont realize there are people that just cannot write a good paper and I of course am one.

So another part of the assignment was to talk about our history on rhetorical situations a.k.a. speeches. I am not good at speeches. I get so nervous my face becomes red and looks like a chili pepper and sometimes I can pass out. The was one time in 3rd grade, my teacher asked me to stand up and tell the class about me. Well I couldnt even get my name out before I passed out. Next thing I know I'm in the nurse's office with a wet rag on my forehead.

I once read a story about a man going into the jungle by himself to live for a year. He ended up getting attack by some local natives who thought he was crazy. They said anyone man who thinks he can go into the jungle by himself must be crazy. So they attacked him and he ended up dieing of some kind of disease anyways. But when I get up and talk to an audience by myself I feel like that man who got attacked.

College....

Everyone says that college is the best time of your life. I have spent 6 days as a college student and I am having the best time of my life. I started out waking up this morning late. Luckily my phone rang and woke me up in time for me to get to class.

My dorm room isn't exactly neat. I woke up with my lamp crashing to the ground. As I layed there laughing I was also really embarrassed because I didn't want my roommate to wake up. I got up when I thought the coast was clear and she was back to sleep to pick up my lamp. Then I proceeded to get ready in the dark because my roommate, Katie, doesn't get up when I do.

Well by noon, I had my first class with Mr. Andy... can you say a hoot! I've never imagined that I would ever have a teacher that would be open about going to bonnaroo. I love the fact that I have a hipee as a teacher!
