blogging

I personally think that we have to blog way too much each month. I still dont see the exact purpose of blogging for English class in the first place. I dont think any students have learned anything from blogging besides that its annoying for a pretty low point grade.

Concerts

There was recently a local concert for the rock band Shinedown. Many people I know went to it and it makes me jelous because I really like the band. Also because I have never been to a real concert before in my life. I wonder if its as cool and exciting as everyone makes it out to be or if its not that great. I guess theres only one way to find out....

music

I think that listening to music while I work greatly improves my effiencity. I always seemed LESS distracted my having music playing in the background instead of no sound at all which kind of creeps me out. More teachers should let their students listen to music while they are doing an independent assignment.

High School

High school is.......just school. There is no need to compare school to something such as a jail or hell when its not. School defines itself and its the way it is no matter how the times change. High school is just the same as middle, primary, and other schools around the work.

sleep

I havent gotten enough sleep lately and its amazing how it affects your mood, attitude, and the way you talk. When you dont get enough sleep you usually get cranky and grumpy. This is true for me too like on school days. Sleep is very important to help keep us aware and readyto go in the morning.

First time driving

The first time I drove a car I can barely remember it because I was so young. My dad used me on the farm and as soon as I could reach the petals I was driving our truck. It was a 1992 blue Ford F-150 with a stick shift which isn't the easiest to learn when your little. My dad forced me to learn by leaving me in the middle of the field and telling me to bring the truck to him while he was working on the tractor. It probably took me 30 mins to drive half a mile over to my dad.

Cool Tech

The coolest piece of technology I have worked with would have to be on our John Deere tractor. We have recently installed a device that will track where you have planted and it will acutally guide you. Some models will drive the tractor for you and you don't have to do anything but turn around each time you get to the end of the field. The way GPS technology has advanced over the years is truly amazing.

I am gratful for...

I am gratful for my family being in good health along with myself. I am gratful for my friends and having both my parents still married. I am thankful for living on our farm and having a job. Living out in the country is great because I don't have any neighbors and there is so much space. I hope one day I can buy some of my dad's land and build a house for my own family.
