Summer, Summer, Summer(Almost)

A year has already gone by...My second last year of school, I can't believe it's almost over. I am so sad because my friends are leaving. OH HOW WILL I SURVIVE!!! I am gonna miss them all. We have been together for a long time. Well I will survive, I would be too busy to feel sad, I will miss them but Ican't let that get me down.

This summer I will be busy preparing for Vacation Bible School for my chucrh. I am going to be a teacher something that I never have done before. I must do new things is I want to pursue life fully. When I am not busy preparing  to be as teacher, I am going to be writing scenes to my script I wrote for Writer's Craft this year. My brain has already been getting ideas of what to do. I know that there will be two scenes before the one I wrote, and I am not sure on how many after. I know I will have certain scenes but I am not entirely sure on all of the scenes. It is a work in progress, I am hoping to come back next year and show my teacher my play.

My other goal for the summer is too improve my self-esteem. I ahve a really low self-esteem from what my friends and family have done to me in the past, I refuse to remeber all those things that happened, but they have taken a great toll on me, abnd have made my sel-esteem really low. So I want to improve it.

I have a busy summer that I am going to do, I hope that when I come back to school in the fall I hope that my teachers say wow Jess you have improved Congratualations.

Napanee Here We Come

          Once upon in an old graveyard oooooh oooooh ooooooh...no no graveyard, just a wonderful trip to Napanee for a wedding. This was a long trip, it was like 5-9 hours long on the road just no get to a hotel to sleep then drive for 2-3 more hours to get to the destination the wedding was at. We would have like snacks, like chips to eat on the way up. We also had a cooler filled with pop and sandwiches to eat also on the way up. We had to get everything ready and packed before we left the first day. We had brought cards and music and such to keep us occupied for then long drive up to Napanee. The season was summer so it was really hot. We were very stuffy in that vehicle. We had all of my family in the vehicle, plus luggage for the the hotel, and suits for the guys, the vehicle was full enough that if you were to move you would hit something, or someone. On thing I love to do on an adventure like this is look out the window. I like to see scenery. I would look outside and would see walls and walls of rock. Some rock was sparkly, some were wet, some rocks were big some other rocks were small. The colours varied from red roans, to browns, whites, silvers and maybe the occasional blue rock, or green rock, always with a hint of glitter that helped the overall appearance. The roads looked souless. The colour was a black that seemed like it had no happiness in a long time, not even the sunny happy yellow line could make it look alive like it had a soul, the black was just dark and filled with sadness.  The feeling of the movement created when the tires touched the road in a symphony of driving was relaxing. I could close my eyes and feel the serenity that they made, they were made to be together, but the road still screamed in darkness, even with the serenity the tires created. The vehicle was enjoying the breeze on his face, and the friendly engines zooming by with a happy, welcoming tone to them.

Love or Money?

Brace yourself it's going to be cheesy...eventually. Love or money, love or money, I would probably have to choose love. I have a goal in life, that goal is to have a family, and provide grandchildren and a son-in-law for my family before they die. Even though money is something I want so I can buy a whole bunch of stuff that I want, it's still going to be love. I am a hopeless romantic by far. People who don't know me well wouldn't think of that because I usually don't show that part of me for the public eye. Even though money has a value to it, so does love. When you truly fall in love in my eyes it means you will end up being together forever, and he/she won't leave you or go behind your back, you will be together forever and love every minute of it. I also do find that true love can be decieved as a very strong infatuation. You don't really know that you are in love with someone until you get togetehr with him/her. I find that if the feelings just suddenly disappear for someone it wasn't love at all it was an infatuation. I ahve had this happen to me multiple times, t's anoying and if your like me, and are waiting for someone to come that is "the one" your true love then it's even more annoying waiting for him/her. When you truly find someone you love you are always happy, even when times are bad you are still happy when you're with him/her. I though wish i could have love and money but I can't so love always.

Once Upon a Time There Was a Pink...Elephant?

When we were youngins like all the ones out there in today's day and age we, always mentioned how we want to see a purple elephant, or a blue duck something on the lines of that, well at least I did. I know it was far fetch'd and imaginary that I will actcually see an elephantv of such colour but, according to BizarreNews.com a pink elephant was spotted in Botswana, Africa. I found this little piece of info interesting. I never knew that my creativity when I was a kid actually could come true, it may not be a purple elephant but it is still pink. It is completly unnatural for a animal to be pink, never-the-less a baby elephant to be pink. Well actaully,  any animal to be pink, unless it's birds they are all kinds of colours. I was actually glad I came across this little article, the things you can catch if you are actually paying attention to your surroundings, is magnificant. This being an interesting thing, is actually a condition that animals can get, they then get labelled albino. This condition can cause elephants to go blind or get skin conditions beasue of the harsh sun in Africa. The elephant though noted it's condition and is proctecting itself by standing in the shadow of it's mother, and it can shade itself in trees around it.

Letter To Board

It has come to my attention that the board chooses to get rid of the unhealthy, and caffeinated foods, and drinks. Well maybe you should rethink that decision. The caf line has been in the school for the time I was in high school and years passed. I believe your choice is the wrong one. Think for a minute, students form other schools come for competitions for various sports and those students go to the cafe line. Your probably thinking "Great more students obese from our school" did you ever think that the caf line may not be such a bad thing. Yes some of the food in their is unhealthy, but it's the students choice if they want to buy I whole bunch of junk food to eat for lunch. Did you ever think  about the diabetics from other schools, especially who have been here before know that we have a caf line and expect to have sugary foods for them so they won't bring food themselves. Stuff is going to cost more because the school makes money from the caf line. Depending on what it's used for, if the caf line money is used for the school itself, all the repairs need, the extensions, the work that still needs to be done won't get done because the school has no money. If the caf money goes to the board, they won't get money. The school won't get money, and some of the future kids may have to get transferred to another school because the school itself will have to become smaller for stuff to get paid, and this school will still be up and running. It's one of the few left in this area. If it gets closed down then a whole outstanding huge group of students will have to get shipped of to other schools, and that's just issue bound. This school need to stay open, this school need to stay active...THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO HAVE A CAF LINE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING!!!! and THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO STAY OPEN!!!

Co-Prez, Is it a Popularity Contest...or Not?

Co-Prez, Co-Prez in my opinion is just a big popularity contest. Just think for a minute... think of the candidates of the Co-Prex elections, they are all popular. All the yeaers I have been in this school no one did anything, when I thought someone would do somehting, that person didn't do anything. The election for co-prezes every year is a waste of time. There is absolutly no point into co-prez. All it is is a big fat popularity contest. The people who get elected don't do anything at all, whcih pisses me off. They are elected to help this school, they are elected to do some good in our school, they are elected to make changes in "Crusader Country" the elections are just big popularity contests, the candidates feed us all these lies. They give us these wishes that they can never actually grant us. They tells us these lies, whatever will make us happy. They use what we, as a student body would like, and they manipulate us, to make them more popular. The Co-Prezes this I bet I know who they are, I bet this years co-prezes are going to be Trevor, indefinately and most likely Drew. I want a Co-Prez who will actually help this school, make it better for the ones who are currently here, and future students of this school. This school needs major adjustments. It needs better crowd control in the cafe line, better crowd control in the halls. It needs more computer labs available to students at lunch, not just the library, not just guidence. There is a lot of students in this school, that have homework to do on the computers. This school needs chairs in the assemblies, If the school wants to have us go through a long assembly, at least give us somehting comfortable to sit on. The school needs more places to eat lunch in the winter. The school gets fuller and fuller with students every year, the caf gets packed and packed even more every lunch. It is simpler in the spring because students can go outside but in winter, I mean come on, we don't want to go outside. I could go on and on but I wont. I could even be a co-prez, but then i can't because no one will vote for me I am just not that popular, to even get into the voting round. See what I mean. Students just look at the ballot and see which co-preze candidates that are the most popular, they don't even think about who will hel;p the school, they just think this *I know him/her, she/he is a popular person they will be the best co-prez ever." I am just stating the facts about what is most likely going through persons mind, when they choose the co-prez.

Unlikely Couple

My unlikely couple will have to be Juliet from the ever so popular Romeo and Juliet and the ever so fictional character of a T.V series called 6teen. I am going to take the role as Jonesy in this break-up letter to Juliet.

Juliet.

This is not working out at all, you are not my type, you are way to old fashion for me. The truth is I found someone else, who is much more hotter then you.

She is better then you in so many ways starting with...

Looks, she has me so much
She is not old fashion, she lives in the now and loves all the Jonesmyster.
She is so much hotter then you are, she wears mini skirts and you don't.

She wants some of the vitamin J you don't.

I could go on and on.

I am brekaing up with you, I will be much happier, and you will be much happier. We will all be happy, it is never gonna work out for us, never in a million years. Hopefully someone finds you that's not me.

Jonesy

It's Predictble, Cat Appreciation

This may be predictable for me to say because the students who have been in my class from previous years know that I love cats. Cats are cuddly, and cute. Their should be an appreciation day for cats.

First of here is a haiku about cats(I love haikus)

Small fluffy critter

or deadly little demon

you can figure out

I wrote this lat class but didn't have time to share it.

Anyways, cats these days are so easily overrun by dogs and other animals.

People always forget about the cats in the world. Cats may be fiercer then dogs, and less loyal, but that is because I am pretty sure that cats can tell if a person doesn't like them. I find that when a person doesn't like cats much, the cat doesn't like them and scratches the person. Cats may be those but their is still good things about them...

1) They kill mice and rats, people these days don't care much for rats and mice.

2) Depending on the size of dog people can't neccessarily sit on a couch and just cuddle with a dog, especially if they are a big, and outdoor dogs. Cats you can cuddle with them, they don't get really big. They usually stay a managable cudldling size.

3) Cats are a small animal, they barely get any bigger, cats would be managable animal to have aroud the house.

5) Cats purring is always warm and comforting, if your having a bad day, if you hear a cats purr you are calmer.

6)Cats are also quiter then dogs. Dogs bark, or yip and it gets incredibly annoying. You want a dog to stop barking, and sometimes they don't.

I could go on but I am going to stop...

Cats should have an appreciation day, they deserve to have more people to love them, they are easily compared negativly to dogs.

It's Predictable, Cat Appreciation

Graffiti, Good or Bad

When someone tags something it is usually really elegant, colourful, really well drawn. These people have a real talent for drawing, they just don't know how to express it in an appropriate way. I will also say that some things people draw in their tags is quite inappropriate, no everyone wants to see what they drew. Some of the things that are drawn could go on display probably because they are that good. Graffiti isn't all bad, like swearing, gang symbols and other stuff is bad. Sometimes it is advertisement and even though advertisement is really annoying it isn't necessarily illegal, it's just annoying. Their is also really creative tags. If someone were to look at it they would say "That person worked really hard on that." If I came across graffiti that someone put a lot of work into it, I couldn't agree to get rid of it, maybe even I came across really inappropriate graffiti I would take time to acknowledge their work then may want it to go away

I find the really colourful graffiti that's good and positive really lightens up a town or city if that particular town or city is really dull and gloomy.

In today's day and age I find their is more inappropriate tags, but in the possibilities of what can get drawn are more positive then negative.

One thing we all know is graffiti will never stop, it will always be constant in today's age. No matter how much we want graffiti to stop it wont.

So in the end I guess I can't really hate graffiti or really like it. It is another art from, just used in the wrong way. The taggers should possibly be acknowledged and get into some sort of program to use their gift for good instead of evil.

I can't just say I like graffiti because, even though I will take time to acknowledge the amount of time done into it if it was one of those "masterpieces," but I still won't support inapropriate graffitiwe don't need to see it. Now I can't say I absolutly hate graffiti because the other good, happy, amazing "masterpieces" I lik. I would however agree to bring down the tag total down a bit though, because their is places in the world where the graffiti count is very high, and it's basically all rude, inaproriate tags. If their is graffiti in a town or city it should be all good positive stuff, not bad and negative.

Thank-you Google for the pictures

Writer's Craft

Well Writer's Craft this year has just been a blast. I love coming up with ideas, putting them on paper, and seeing the final product. It is just so satisfying when it's all done.


We got asked to give feedback to our lovely teacher Miss Feick so here it is...


Feedback...

1. Assignments/activities I found interesting, worthwhile helpful would probably be the writing prompts a definent keeper. I used the Boris the Worm for part of my children's story. I also find that the writing prompts' help me in waking up for following classes. yes I may be still tired but I am more awake.
2. Assignments/activities that bore me, drive me crazy, or stress me out would probably be, well stressing me out not really any, but I always found interviews kinda boring, your just talking to one another and asking questions, getting answers their isn't much interest in them. No assignments/activities really drive me crazy, I actually found all of what we did pretty fun, but I am still not one for interviews.
3. Blogging is just awesome...I love it. I find that we don't have many opportunities to express our own mind, express our creativity. Yes giving us topics is a good idea especially on Monday, but we need more topics to blog about involving expressing our creativity, I mean isn't writing based on creativity, we need more creative blog topics. It feels good to just relax and just write on the computer.
4. I am looking forward to pretty much everything but more importantly I am looking forward to poetry. I love writing poetry, I used to do it all the time. I used to write about how I feel about a certain guy, how I am feeling toward my friends, and as well as myself. I use poetry to release any negativity I am feeling, towards a certain subject, and I also write about positivity. It is my sweet release of whatever I am carrying on my back. I have written so much poetry I can make a book, but I would take some out because I don't want anyone to read about that particular subject, I still wanna keep somethings to myself.
5. Anything else well let's see, it is definitely great to receive more gifts, and you know the class will appreciate anything that's free or sugary :) If it did happen it will be greatly appreciated anyways, it is great fun to see little mini skit demos to explain something for example like the right and wrong ways to complete an interview :p Other then that I am pretty sure it's a very good class in my opinion.

How is your Initiative

1. Well actually I am pretty good in all the areas of self improvement...except one. I believe if I really put my head in the game, I could get all my assignments in on time, and be above the average of the class, and rule it *shifty eyes plotting a plan* MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!.....Uh did I just plan diabolically on a blog....oops...I mean get all my work done on time to achieve my goal of getting in the 80s <*shifty eyes*> <*big smile*>
2. Well, what Miss Feick can do to make us remember this call for all of Eternity is, perhaps more learning skits, it is always fun to learn important necessities in life by seeing a skit. It can be funny, it can be serious, just seeing it if it is interesting will keep our attention and perhaps even learn it even easier. You can never go wrong with sugary snacks as mentioned before(of course you don't have to) <*planning* to get sugary snacks in our systems when they are disappearing in the outside world*> I will be the most popular person in the cla-*>...Heh was I diabolically planning again, I would never do anything of the sorts <*shift eyes*> Hmm what else...well...their is always the more exciting blog topics, not like boring stuff involving historic facts and such. More creative freedom when blogging, more our pick of topics for blogs...I believe that is about all I can think of....

<*DIABOLIC PLANNING...MUAHAHAHAHA, THAT WILL DO THE TRICK...DIABOLIC LAUGHTER*>...Uhhhhhh...<*shift eyes*>...Uhhhhhhhh......Did I Just Say that aloud.

I Can't Believe it's 2011

I can't believe it's 2011 already. Where does the time go.


I like a new year because birthdays come around once again, and it just so happens that this weekend it's...MY 18th BIRTHDAY!!! Wow when did I get so old like I mean 18. What I like about the fact that I am turning 18 is because I can skip all the classes I WANT!... I mean use this privilege wisely. I am a good student...honestly.


I have come up with a few New Years Resolutions this year. For example...


Become less indecisive
Get all my marks up to the 80s at least(I know I can do it, they are already close)
Better Homework completion


What I don't like about the new year is well actually what's gonna happen next week...the school beside us is opening. In my personal opinion I think it is a stupid idea. It's gonna be for younger kids just imagine what can happen when little kids are going to school beside a highschool. Buses are getting screwed up not to mention some of the druggies and smokers at this school(sorry if offended) Some highschoolers may go over their and cause havoc for the younger children, I mean, their is only a fence separating the schools. Even with the fence they could go on the road to the school. I am sorry, I know we need another school because Canada's popularity is growing, but seriously near a highschool, I don't like it but what can I do.


I also like the new year because in a way it makes me feel new, well rather then, it makes me feel like I can build on my habits and stuff, become new. I hope to see some improvements on the country's provinces, and even this area. I like our world and I want it to stay here.


Still I love the new year because birthdays return once again.Like mine... I AM TOTALLY GONNA BE 18 ONE THE WEEKEND!!! What I am excited about my birthday, is that a crime. Wow...when did I get so old.
