Week of 2/7/14 Review

This week was pretty much like most other weeks except for the fact that I joined track. I am going to be doing Track long distance, but I'm still not sure in what events I will be competing in. I will be practicing everyday but Wednesday because I have Model UN. On Mondays I will be doing both Track and Soccer, with an hour break in between. I was very tired after Monday and Tuesday, but I feel that this will help me become extremely fit come soccer season and summer. In English, we began to read 30 Days to Empathy By: the 31. I like it so far, and it seems cool that we are going to write a book like this in class.

Week of 1/31/14 Review

This week was a short week due to cold weather that had school closed on both Monday and Tuesday.  I was surprised at the amount of work I received for the first day of the semester on Wednesday. I am not very excited about this short poetry unit that we are about to begin because I have never been a huge fan of poetry. I do like the idea of the Story In someones Shoes, even though I'm not entirely sure what I will do yet.
I have decided to join track and field for the long distance competitions. I will do it 4/5 days of the week. Only thing is I haven't told my mom yet and I don't think she will like it because she thinks I already exercise enough with Soccer.

Week of 1/23/14 Review

This week was finals week. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I didn't have school on Monday which was extremely helpful for studying, as I spent a long time studying for math.  On tuesday I had my math and French final, then I got to go home early. It was probably the worst of the finals day because I had math and as always, 3/4 of the class wasn't finished when the bell rang, so i had to randomly fill out multiple problems. French was ok. On wednesday I got to arrive to school 90 minutes late because I would have had lunch first. I had to P.E. after that and got level one fitness in Pushups, sit-ups, 12minute run, and Vsit. I also got 100% on the written portion of the test. Later I had english and that went alright. On Thursday I had Chemistry and World studies and both were surprisingly easy.

Week of 1/17/13 Review

Hey blog! This week has been really stressful because it is the week before finals. I have been talking to teachers trying to make sure my grades are as good as possible. I have had a test or Project due in every class but P.E. It has been very stressful studying for all these test and quizzes when I should be focusing on finals. I had a french presentation in french class which went really well. In English, talked about parallelism in speech and writing. This weekend I have soccer everyday including Sunday, as i have been invited to practice with the NPL Team(national premier league). I will have zero time for friends this weekend and will just study, play soccer, and study some more.

Week of 1/10/14 Review

This week was short due to two different snow days. They were Monday and Tuesday, due to extreme temperatures. On Monday it was -30 degrees!!! with a wind chill of -40degrees!!! Tuesday wasent as bad as Monday, but it was still below zero degrees. This week was also tiring, because my sleep schedule was completely off after getting used to waking up at 12 almost everyday. I will have soccer on Saturday and I hope it goes well. I enjoyed reading Black Boy over winter break.

Week of 12/24/13

Its Christmas break!!!  I am very happy that we are finally off for break; it means a lot of time to sleep, which is why I have been waking up after 10:00 since break began. I enjoyed class on Friday because we did very little, but still had fun and enjoyed myself. I had a lot of projects and tests on both Thursday and Friday. Over break I plan on going skiing and spending time with family here in Chicago. This break I have an ok amount of homework, considering a lot of it is extra credit. I have almost finished reading Black Boy, and I really liked the first part of the book, but the second, which is all about communism, is a bit tedious. I am enjoying myself and doing nothing for these last few days.

Week of 12/13/13 Review

This Friday was Friday the 13th, but luckily nothing bad happened to me except having to take a Algebra II w/ Trigonometry test.  This weekend we will go ice-skating on Friday. I hope I do well since it has been a while since I went ice-skating, and I also hope that my ice-skates fit. This week I had a test or quiz in every class. We had swim unit in P.E. and I am in the deep end. I enjoy the swim unit except for the fact that I always have to rush to next period. I can’t wait for Christmas break.
