Who Really Knows Me?

I have been waiting for this free topic blog to come up but now that it is here I have nothing to talk about. I always talk about how annoying school is to me and about negative things but I think I should focus more on me for a change. I feel like only a hand full of people in TMA know my true personality. I think people in the school think that I'm quiet but I'm really not. I’m extra friendly and pretty much get along with everyone. I feel like those who really know me can say that I’m outgoing yet a little weird ( but not in the bad way). I would like to find a way to be comfortable acting the way I do at home in school because I act like two different people. I don't do it on purpose it just happens. This is my fourth year in this school and I have not spoken to everyone yet and that kind of bothers me a little. My goal for the end of the year is to have a conversation with majority of class so they can get to know me better. I don't want the people that I graduate with to see me 10 years later from now and don't greet me just because we never spoke. And for those reading my blog I think you should say hi next time you see me or make a conversation it will help me with my goal.

The News

I was watching the news this morning and I really do not like it. Yes it is informational and yes it does tell me the weather but it is so depressing. Its like every single time I do get to watch the news it is always about something bad that happened. If it is not about someone getting killed it would be about some disease spreading around or something. I really think that the news should speak about the good things more often. It sometimes looks like these news reporters are so used to talking about deaths that when they say it on tv its like they think its nothing. They would say something like only two people died like that is okay. When these bad things happen they do not only play it on the news once they play it over and over again and that gets very annoying. The little bit of good things that they play gets shown about one or two times then its back to all the bad things. Instead of showing all these crimes all the time influencing people to do more crimes, they should find a way to get the number of crimes to go down. I think they should schedule when they play the bad news. In the morning the good news should play to keep people in a happy mood before they leave the house then around 5 they can play the negative stuff.I know if it was that way I would watch the news more often.

Today I will be writing about what I learned in one of my other classes. A class I choose to write about is my college class. I enjoy going to that class because Ms.Young tries to make our senior year as easy as possible by helping up organizing our college things into different categories. I think this technique will definitely help me in the long run. She has worksheets that breaks down our top college choices and informs us about the tuition, activities, and contact information. She also makes sure we apply for our colleges on time and gives us information about several college fairs. This class helps me because as this point in life I'm confused as to what I'm suppose to be doing right now. Everything is overwhelming and going too fast. I have deadlines to meet back to back to back. I'm glad they put this college class in my schedule cause it definitely gives me time in school to focus on college. Another thing I like about this class is that guess speakers from college come to speak to us during this period and I get a chance to her about the college without leaving the school building. During these lectures by the colleges We get a chance to ask questions and get a feel of what costs will be coming out of our parents pockets. We also learn about different scholarships in this class. This is important to me because I know college is very expensive and I want to save as much money out my parents packets as possible. This class is very beneficial to me because it helps me prepare for college and keeps me on track.

Ms. Hegeman's Class Be Like....

So I think I should just do the blog that has to be about class because I have a lot of things to get off my chest. I really try my very hardest to get to school on time but it really hurts to wake up early.I tried waking up at 6:30 but it just does not work. I just turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. Sometimes in class we get too much work and it gets annoying. I think Ms Hegeman should do fun stuff more often to keep me alert in class. Doing grammar and reading for two periods straight can get boring after a while. Then in class Ms Hegeman told us that we have to present for 45 minutes. I don't understand how that is possible. Yeah it is in groups but who really wants to stand in front of a class and talk for so long. Five minutes is enough. I think Ms. Hegeman should ask the class what we would like to do and incorporate it with the lesson that she wants to teach. I really and truly hope that college is not like this. I hope its not boring. Ms Hegeman's class is not boring 100% of the time... only 90. Sometimes its funny when in class Ms. Hegeman complains about people eating and then turn it in to a lesson about unhealthy foods. She always says how candy is not good to eat in the morning but I think people are still going to eat it no matter how much she preaches. Maybe she can make it a lesson or something.

I DONT LIKE SCHOOL

My Blog

I really cannot wait until senior year is over. I want to just graduate already , I want to finally be on my own but most importantly I am tired of all the work. I don't understand why teachers give so much work all at one time knowing that their students have other classes and that we have to do this college stuff. I always wonder with the amount of work they give if they have a life outside of school because I know it takes hours to sit there and grade all those papers. This year is just too overwhelming and it is only the beginning. I have to keep up with my school work , figure out what colleges I want to apply to and still make time for myself.  It is crazy how I got “senior-itis” before senior year even started. I keep hearing people say how this college process is stressful, so wouldn't it make sense for to get us started now? It is almost October and no one told me what I need to do yet. I have so many people around me who have experienced this process but where is the support? I feel extra lost and I dont know how to make it stop. I never knew senior year would be this annoying. I thought it would be fun going on senior trip, getting ready for prom and graduating. No one told me its this bad before we get to the fun part.
