Stretch Mark#3

One of my other stretch marks was that I made homemade cookies. They were made from scratch, and I had found the recipe on this bag of dried cranberries. I’ve always baked out of the cake mix boxes,and so far that was it. Never had I baked anything out of scratch, this was my first time. When I had the idea of making it, I thought of who to give some to. I was in my 6th period Mr. White’s class, with the freshmants. One of them asked me if I baked or cooked, I said yes. So they asked me what do I like to cook, I told them I liked to bake more than cook. That is when they recommended that I should bake them some cookies. I thought about it, and at first I was spectacle about making them cookies, because I was thinking they wouldn’t like them. But they convinced me into doing them, and I thought I could use this as a stretch mark. So it was good for both of us. I told them I would bring them the next week, that week past and I never brought them the cookies. They were disapointed in me and called me a liar. I’m never good with making promises. I felt bad, so I went to the store and bought all my ingredients:butter, brown sugar, dried cranberries, white chocolate, and the rest I had at the house. I made a couple at first to see how they would taste, so far everyone liked them. So I made the whole batch and brought them to 6th period. All of the freshmants came to me,”did you bring them?” Not all the freshmants got some aonly the ones that I really talk to. So before they took a bite off the cookie I made them take a picture, for evidence and they liked the cookies.

This week was not so good. The semester is almost over and I have an F for English,and P.E. I am done with all my P.E. credits, but I do need five more credits to graduate. I think I will have to graduate during the summer, no doubt. But even if I had all my credits, I wouldn’t want to graduate on stage. I just dont want to get dressed up and worried about my hair getting messed up. I haven’t been to 2nd period in the longest, and I have only been there two days. I noticed that when I go to class I do my work and if I would have been there more often, I would have raised up my grade. I regret not coming to class on time. Also I didn’t go to prom, and missed out in a lot. I didn’t do much my senior year,and wasted my time. Now I have to spend my summer in summer school. This week went by fast, and school is almost over. Maybe if I at least try, I could pass my English class with a D. I want to attend City College, but my grades don’t look so good, so we’ll see.

This is the new grading period. In 2nd period we have been reading 1984, still. That book is so boring, I cant read it because I get really bored and dont understand it. If  the teachers assigned us an intersting book to read maybe I would read it. But all we have worked on is that boring book. I havwe an F so far because I dont come to class, or I always come late. I need to catch up on all my work, and come early. I dont remember much what happend this week, but only coming late to class, not coming to some of my classes. In my other classes I am doing better. Its only 1st and 2nd thats holding me back. It is because I dont come early. I really need to improve  in all my classes. I’m not sure if  I will even graduate on time. I might have to graduate during the summer. I dont want to waist my time going to summer school, I want to have fun and hang out at the beach. Get a tan, sleep go to Six Flags or Great America. But in order for me to get that I need to work hard at school.

This week was ok, I don’t remember what I did for this week. All I know that we got out early. The schedual was stupid and confusing. It was testing for all this week. We got out early on Wed. at 12:45,   Friday at 12:45, on the other days we got out at 2:55. Which is pretty stupid, its almost the same as getting out at 3:20. I liked getting out early, and not having to do any testing. Im glad that I am a senior and not have to worry about doing any test. Your more free, and I didnt do much. I haven’t came to school on time at all. Its hard for me to get up and leave early, because I am so use to leaving my house really late. I really nbeed to work on it. I havent been coming to 2nd period in almost a week. Usaully I come Monday and dont show up the rest of the other days. But I havent been there in almost a week. I wished the schedual stayed the same as testing week. We get out early and we dont have to do much. By the end of the week I hope to come on time.

This week was ok. I was really stretched out because I needed to turn in and catch up on my work. I have been doing all my blogs so far.Better than last year, I hardly did them. I am not happy with my grades, especially my spanish class. Just because I did not do one assignment I got a D. It was my friend’s birthday this week,the 15. Me and my sister got her balloons and took her out to the Cheesecake Factory. It was me and my sister’s first time there. Some of our other friend came with us, and we lied that it was one of their birthdays.The waiters came in with ice cream and some candles. We sang happy birthday to them, and we were so full, I took my plate home. This week was also Day of Silence. I participated, and had all my signatures signed. Except for 1st period because I got to school late. In class we watched videos and answer questions. I was shocked to see that a lot of LGBT get harassed a lot. I am glad that I supported them, I learned that they have a hard time coming out because people will judge and be mean.

Stretch Mark#2

This was my second stretch mark. On April 16,2010 I participated in the Day of Silence. It was to be silent the whole day,to support anti-LGBT bullying, name calling and harassment. I was silent for 2nd period,till 7th period. I did not go to first, because I came in late. Who ever participated had a pink slip, and all their teachers had to sign to show that they were silent through out the whole day of class. I had all my signatures signed, except for 1st period. In 2nd period we watched a videos and answer some questions. One of the questions said to predict the percentage of how many gays get harassed. I predicted it was 50%, and was surprised to see that it was actually 86.2%. I didn’t know how bad it was for LGBT. In the videos their are teens who say,”thats so gay.” Those teens don’t know that saying this is hurtful towards gay people. Just because they think something is stupid, doesn’t mean is gay and you don’t have to say,”thats so gay.” We also seen a movie for my 3rd period class, and answer some questions. It was not hard for me to be silent through out the whole day, because I don’t really talk a lot. I realize I only talk when I really need to, like if someone is asking me a question or when I’m w/ my friends. I learned that people need to watch what they say to others. People don’t really know people like they think they do. In class we learned that, its better to not know then to pretend you do know. Like when you criticize someone, you think you know them but you really don’t. I’m glad I did this, because it help me understand what LGBT go through. Its hard for them to come out because people are always judging.

This week I have been doing good. I caught up on my work, but I still don’t come to school on time. I was doing good in Ms.T’s class, but I haven’t been there since Monday, so I don’t have my Do Now’s. I have been reading my outside reading book. I want to finish it but I don’t have the time to read, and the book 1984 is sooo boring. I do not like it, it makes me want to sleep. So far all we have done is read and we did the Socratic Seminar, but I was not in class that Wed. I need to turn in all my class work, and my grade will go up. I do my work, but sometimes I don’t turn them in. School is almost over, and I’ve only done one Stretch mark. I need 9 more to go. I want to visit some places, and cook something. I also want to get my tattoo very soon. I cant wait, I already know what I want to get. A lot of events are coming up, graduation, prom, and other stuff. I hope to graduate on time because I don’t want to graduate during the summer.

Spring break this year was boring, and the weather ruined everything. Because it had rained I didn’t want to go out. All I did was sleep really late,wake up late, and work. I tried reading the book 1984, but it was boring. I did my homework, and read articles for my 7th period class. I caught up on work and raised my grade. But spring break for me was not good. I did spent time with my cousins, that was fun.They are really funny, and can make me laugh. I watched the movie PRECIOUS and PEARL HARBOR. Those movies were good, and I ate A LOTTTT OF junk food over the break. The latest I slept was at 4 and 6 in the morning. I also drove my cousins car. I need to work on how to break/stop the car, I do it to hard. I hope I can learned how to drive soon so that I can buy a car. I want a Lexus or an Acura. A black one. I also did one of my stretch marks. I need 9 more to go, I’m trying to volunteer in hospitals and working with animals. But I can’t find any places. Overall the only thing I liked about spring break was not waking up early. 🙂

This week we did not have Ms.T in class because she was getting married. When I checked my school loop I seen she left us all a common. She was going to post up her wedding pictures. I have not checked them yet, but I will. I did good in school this week I still don’t come early to 1st but I get all my work done. All we have done in class was read and write in the package paper that Ms.T left us to do. The sub was nice, we were nice to her. We’ve also watched a movie, it was boring to me, but I what surprised me and took my attention was when the paster was coming on the the lady. I was shoked to see that. So far this week was good and I have done the work. I didnt turned in my work on Friday becuase I came in really late like around 3rd or 4th. The school was really empty a lot of people did not come. I was bored in all my classes, and we didn’t do much.I n some of my classes we watched a boring movie and we did work in only one of my classes.

Stretch Mark#1

For my first stretch mark this semester, I went out to eat a different culture food. I was tired of Chinese, Italian and all the other foods we eat daily. I wanted something different. I remember always passing by on South Van Ness a restaurant it read Limon. So I looked it up on Google, and it was Peruvian food. I never had that type of food, and I really wanted to try it out. But I never had the time to go because of school, and work. I had the Saturday off of 3/20. I asked my mom if she could take us to eat. So we parked and walked in. The place was really nice and colorful. The vibe there was laid back and it gave off some latin culture, also the place was a bit small. You could sit on comfortable seats by the windows, or in the middle of the restaurant. When they gave us the menu, I didn’t know what to order. I didn’t know if the food would taste good. I asked the waiter who served us,name Ricky, what was good in the menu. He said everything is good here. But he recommended the Ceviche was really good. But also it depends on what you like to eat. We first ordered drinks. They were really good. I had the Strawberry lemonade, and my sister had the Mango lemonade. It was the best drink I’ve had and were really fruity. For the main dish my sister had the Ceviche, which is fish,shrimp cooked in lemon. My mom ordered Chicharon de pollo, and I had Lomito Salteado. Which is steak with french fries and sauce all over. The plates were small, and I think their main ingredient they use is lemon,thats what I tasted the most. Over all I liked the food I recommend anyone to try it out. And the employees are really nice.
