Week 1A – Music That Defines Me

I listen to a lot of different types of music. Like country, rap or hip-hop stuff, or the alternative kind of stuff like Boys Like Girls or… I can’t think of anything else. But that kind of music. When I’m in a good mood, I’ll usually listen to the music that makes you wanna dance, like hip-hop. Or rap, yo. :) Or when I’m sad I’ll listen to the slow alternative whatever or country music. What the music says about me is that I like many different things and depending what mood I’m in, I’ll listen to that type of music. Other generations will probably look back at the type of music I listen to and think what I think about my parents music, which is dumb and sounds very old.

Week 6 - Every Setback has an Opportunity for a Comeback

This has happened to me a couple of times. In 8th grade, I tried out for the dance team just for the heck of it. Even though I didn’t make it, I ended up liking it. I took dance lessons with my friend after that. A year later, I was trying to decide if I was going to try out for the team again. Not making it was a huge setback for me and it worried me. I ended up trying out for the dance team and I made it. :) So that was a huge setback that had an opportunity for a comeback.

Week 5 - Grizzly You

If I was going to be a transcendentalist and being stranded for 6 months alone, I would want to g to a pretty island in the middle of the ocean. I would go here because I love the beach and ocean and I could get a pretty good tan :) Another reason why I would go her is because I could see sooo many things that you usually don’t see in Illinois. Like palm or coconut trees! Ew, the bugs there might be scary though. I hate bugs. Yuuuck. That would be a huge hardship for me. So would trying to be finding something or making something to eat. I can’t really cook. I would probably have a better outlook on life and not take as many things for granted if I actually was stranded out in the middle of the ocean. Even though it would be hard to come back to civilization from a beach, I probably still would. I would miss my family and friends wayy to much. :)

Week 4 - Dumb Laws

So a lot of these laws that I have looked up are sooo dumb! So I’m just going to name a few… :)
- You may not take a picture of a rabbit during June.
- It is illegal to tickle women.
- It is illegal to NOT drink milk.
- It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers even if you have no windshield.
- that makes no since.
- It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.
- It is illegal to use a lasso to catch a fish.
- It’s illegal for a frog to croak after 11 p.m.
- weird.
- It is illegal to lay down or fall asleep in a cheese factory
- Horses may not be kept in bathtubs.
- It is illegal to wear your boots to bed.
- It’s against the law to rollerblade on a state highway.
- It’s illegal to drive a camel on the highway.
- you can drive camels?
- No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of a car.
- You may not step out of a plane while it’s in flight.
- It is considered an offence to shower naked.
- Law forbids eating in a place while it’s on fire.

Wow. These are realllly dumb!

Week 3 - About My School

Go, go Olympia High
Victory is our battle cry
With colors blue and white
Fight, fight, fight, fight!
Spartans will overcome
We know were number 1
Striving always for the best
Go OHS!
That's Olympia High School school song :p One thing about Olympia that you should know would be that it is literately in the middle of corn and bean fields. The worst thing about Olympia is how it’s so far away from some towns in the district. The best thing about Olympia High School though would be how most people out here are nice. Also, football games and pork chops. :) Yuum!

Week 2 - A Specail Meeting

If I could meet anyone in the world, it would be my Uncle Tracy. He’s my mom’s older brother and he died before I was born. He was in a car crash and died two weeks later from breaking his neck, or something like that. My cousin who was two at the time had to live with my grandparents after he died. Some questions I would ask him would be…
- How was life growing up? I hear about it sometimes from mom and Aunt Carrie, but I can’t from you.
- Do you miss your family?
- Were you ready to go?
- How old would you be right now?
- Where would you and Arron live?
- What would your job be?
Even though he’s gone now, it would be nice if he could really answer some of these questions.
