Bloggin' At School Every Morining

Yes, that's right. I blog at school in Digital Photography class. In fact I wrote this post and the last post in Digital Photography. I look at ALL your blogs, to see if anything's new. Now I know how y'all (I had the urge to type "y'all"!) felt when I didn't post for a long time. Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm bored now. Everyone's working on a project that I got done at the very begining of class. It was very easy. Plus, I have a sub, so there's not much goin' on. There's a lot of absent people too.......YESSSSSS!
Startin' on another project....Peace!...........

ohmygosh! Here's my project! (It's going to be awesome when it's finished!) :

In this project, each of you will be asked to complete a demonstration using a combination of copy and pictures. ("Copy and pictures"?? I don't get it.) You will need to work with a camera partner on this project. First, you must come up with some type of "How to process" some examples are these (Oh. I get it now.) :

• How to tie a shoe
• How to change a light bulb
• How to make a sandwich (A sandwich?! xD)
• How to wash your hands

Before any pictures are taken, you must submit your step-by-step process. For each step of the process, you will then have your partner take a picture. The process should contain at least 10 steps, but no more than 20.

When finished, you will compose a packet which contains the pictures that will have the step of the process typed below the picture. I will assist with the layout of the project once the steps of the process are created and all of the pictres are taken. You will recive 2 grades for this project. One for your submitted step-by-step process and one for your pictures identified with the steps. Good luck!

Don't worry family, no one got up and started taking the cameras out when I was typing this. They stayed on their computers, doing whatever they were doing before the project was given. My partner is still working on the last project anyways...I think...Okay, she's not. Plus, there's a lot of absent people, remember? So, yeah. No one's going to pick up a camera today. I know what you're thinking!: "Start now and get it over with!", right? Well, the problem is that I can't think of a "how to process". I have to friggin' think, okay. Some suggestions would be nice. =)

..::Book::..

Ok, this book is flippin' boring. (I'll get money for reading it, but it's still boring.) I haven't read it since 2 weeks ago. The title is How to Win Friends and Influence People. It sounds like a handbook for life. The author makes it like a diary type thing. He refers to himself as "I", which sorta makes it confusing. I don't wanna read what this guy has done! He also talks about many, many people and quotes them. In some quotes, I don't even understand them. I'm a teenager, I wouldn't get that kind of stuff. In one chapter, he talks about how to get something you want without asking for it. His example that I found to be understandable was of someone named Stan Novak of Cleveland, Ohio.


"Stan came home from work one evening to find his youngest son, Tim, kicking and screaming on the living room floor. He was to start kindergarten the next day and was protesting that he would not go. Stan's normal reaction would have been to banish the child to his room and tell him he'd just better make up his mind to go. He had no choice. But tonight, recognizing that this would not really help Tim start kindergarten in the best frame of mind, Stan sat down and thought, 'If I were Tim, why would I be excited about going to kindergarten?' He and his wife made a list of all the fun things Tim would do such as finger-painting, singing songs, and making new friends. Then they put them into action. 'We all started finger-painting on the kitchen table-my wife, Lil, my other son, Bob, and myself, all having fun. Soon Tim was peeping around the corner. Nest he was begging to participate. 'Oh, no! You have to go to kindergarten first to learn how to finger-paint.' With all the enthusiasm I could muster I went the list talking in terms he could understand-telling him all the fun he would have in kindergarten. The next morning I thought I was the first one up. I went downstairs and found Tim sitting sound asleep in the living room chair. 'What are you doing here?' I asked. 'I'm waiting to go to kindergarten. I don't want to be late.' The enthusiasm of our entire family had aroused in Tim an eager want that no amount of discussion of threat could have possibly accomplished'"


I read this on one of my GQE test days. Later that same day, me and Amanda went to Head Start to work with mom. Too bad she wasn't there to help us in the big room. (The big room is where the little kids go to play.) We were with Shane or Mr. Matlock's class the whole day. We were in the big room when one of the little kids hurt his head. (It was sorta my fault, so I felt really bad because he started crying.) I sat him on a chair and started to rub his head while the other kids started to get in line. I asked him if he wanted to go to the nurse, and he said no. Then the other kids and the teachers left the big room and I asked him again. He still said no. He stopped crying by this time, and we needed to get back to the room for snack. I told him that we needed "to go to the classroom now." I went near him to grab his hand and he kept swinging his arms and feet around, so I tried my best to apply the principle. I asked him if he wanted to go home. He said yes, of course. So then I told him that if he went to class, he would get to go home. He STILL wouldn't budge! I tried everything I could think of! I was soon fed up and picked him up. Manda was with me and she said, "You need to let him walk." I set him down and grabbed his hand. Well, he fell on the freakin' floor. Luckily mom came out of a room near by. She picked him up by the hand and we ALL walked to class. That principle did NOT work for me. It was either that, or the kid was just way too stubborn. (Oh yeah, I actually left him in the big room "by himself")

My First Ad

(I HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU CAN CLICK THIS TO MAKE IT BIGGER, BUT GO AHEAD AND TRY IF YOU CAN'T READ IT.)

Yes.

You wanted more, so I'll give you people more.

I'll be thinking about the story as much as I can, because I have no idea what Bob is going to go through.

Goodbye Sticks!

I am Finished!

Yes, the lovable stick people that you know in The Book of Jon (and Friends) have finally ended their career. I finished it on Friday at school, during 3rd period Spanish class. We had "Half Game Day", and that meant that we could do whatever we wanted! (Some guy even pulled out his freakin' laptop!) I had nothing to do, so I'd thought that I'd finish up Dolly, since I had the book in my backpack for Rachael to see during lunch. I love all my characters. So Give them an applaud for entertaining you! ^^

Quotes:
"I want pickles and Ice cream, Dangit!" - Fred
"Hair! OMG!" - Dolly

"Look! Bill Cosby!" - That one Guy who tried to capture Dolly

"Well this feels suckish." - Dolly
"Moo!" - The Stray Cow

(If you have anymore quotes that you remember, I'll put them up!)

Here's my awesome picture that people tried to duplicate:

I took it while walking, so that's why its a little blury.

Pictures I took in Digital Photography

(That's with no Flash and my partner took it.)

(My Partner!)

P.S.

I did this in school! Shhhhh!

(How else did ya think I got these on here??)

My First School Days

Hm? If I could describe it in one word, it would be: Boring. Yeah, it's boring, but the days go by fast. I thought today was Tuesday. I like my red days, but I hate my blue days. I would like both days much more if I ditched my math class. That one is so BORING!! I almost fell asleep yesterday in that class from listening to my teacher talk so much. (He has a deep, boring voice, so I could go night-night in that class if I could, and I don't usually fall asleep in class at all.) Anyways, here's my schedule:

RED DAY:
1st Period: Digital Photography (It's kinda boring in that class too, because we haven't done anything with the cameras yet.)
2nd Period: English (That classroom is THE coldest classroom ever! Plus, the teacher has a fan blowin' on him!)
3rd Period: Spanish (I have my old middle school Spanish teacher for this class, so I know her rules well and what to do. One of the easiest classes)
4th Period: Nutrition & wellness (In that class, we learn about food. We will get to cook it too.)

BLUE DAY:
5th Period: Digital Photography (Yes, I have this class twice. It's like my first period EVERY day.)
6th Period: SRP (Stands for Student Resource Period. We use this class to do homework and other pieces of crap stuff that I hate. We also use this period to go do make-up work in another class if you have an SRP pass.)
7th Period: Integrated Math IIA (I did Integrated Math IB in Summer School.)
8th Period: Chemistry (It's okay. I only say this because I like the teacher. He's cool.)

There it is. Now, don't ask me, "How's school?"

The Book of Jon (and friends)

Hello relatives! I have been writing a story for a while now. I had totally forgotten about it until cleaning my room one day for our new bed arrival! I found the little notebook among tons of other crap. I opened it up and there was my Jon story. It's about this guy who has many health problems. Throughout the story, I keep on mistaking Jon's twin for him. Anyways, I was thrilled that I had found it, because I had written it over a year ago. I then got the inspiration to write about Jon's twin, which is longer then the first story in my little notebook. The stories have slapstick comedy in them. And It's rated PG because of rude humor. (Sorry Ari and Ian, mommy can't read it to you.)
I took the book over to my grandma and grandpa's house on the following Sunday, because I knew Annea and Rich were going to be there. All I can tell you, is that they were cracking up at it. I then wrote and ended the third story that same day. I can't tell you the title of it, because that would give some of it away. I've been thinking of a way to put my stories on here without tearing the pages out. And on my computer, I can't draw or anything that would look like the original. So, I will keep my little notebook in the car and if you wanna see it, just tell me and I'll bring it inside wherever. Trust me, you WILL laugh. I am currently working on another story in my little notebook. It's entitled Dolly.

Imma Tour Guide! =D + A girl named Rachael

Today, I had to help TapeEar and my friend, Rachael, find things in the high school. (Classrooms and lockers) TapeEar did find things on her own, like her locker. (Which she might not use.) I did have to help Rachael find her locker. Her mom thought that the lockers were only downstairs, but some are upstairs too. Rachael said that she looked all downstairs to find her locker. No luck. Her mom can't climb stairs, so I took Rachael upstairs to find her locker, leaving her mom, and mine and TapeEar's parents behind. Rachael told her mom to wait for her right by the auditorium. We finally found her locker in the Spanish hallway. Right before we did find her locker, a voice on the intercom said that people with the last name that starts with an "A" and these Kat people, were to meet their parents in this room number I can't remember now. Rachael's last name is Arredondo, so we were worried that we wouldn't find her mom. All three of us went downstairs. I found my Tousan (That means "father" in Japanese.) easily. But when we went by the auditorium, we didn't see Rachael's mom anywhere. Rachael went in search for her mom and then found us again, with no mom. The last time we saw her, she made her way to the bathroom. I guess she found her mom, 'cause we didn't see her again.

About Rachael:
She is my "Besty" as TapeEar says. We see her every Saturday at church. I met her, I guess, at Saturday church, through TapeEar. She did spend the night with us sometime in July. She's sorta like Tiffany, but not THAT much like Tiffany. (Oh yeah, Tiffany's in Arkansas right now, with her aunt. She won't be back for a year. o_O) Rachael's an awsome buddy of mine! She's half hispanic, like me and TapeEar, so we speak Spanish to each other, which is fun! We've been friends for a long time and I hope it stays that way! ^^
