12/2/09 Define the idioms and then use it to talk about something going on in your life

Get your goat, when you are very angry, or when someone pulls at a pet peeve of yours.

Get your goat - I was sleeping and my brother came through my door without knocking and took my pillow and whacked me in the face, I was very mad for 1. That I was awoken and 2. That He didn't knock and 3. That he was in my room in general. I hate my brother and never liked him and he woke me up all to say "Give me a piece of gum" This would be one of my stories on the idiom 'get your goat'

//11/11/09 Asta's Son was feeling very sad in the introduction of this story. His mother recently died and he feels even more sad. He is not rich and lives in a small hut. Not having much friends he is mostly alone. He goes to the church and that his is new home pretty much. //

-- 10/6/09 Besides Ulysses, what book are you reading now? What is it about? What are your feelings about it? I am reading The magician. It is about Nicholas Flamel and how he survived around 400 years. He meets these two teenagers and the teenagers become fighters and magicians. It is a good book so far and there is a sequel I am willing to read when I am done with The Magician

-- //10/5/09// Think of a 'snapshot' of something you did over the break. Write a paragraph using third person view.
 * Jon was sleeping so peacefully. He was laying straight on his back with his head higher than the rest of his body. His mouth was gently closed and his eyes were snapped shut. He wouldn't wake up even if you tried. Dead tired for none, but a reason he just laid there sleeping... dreaming. It was the holidays so I don't think Jon was ready to wake up soon. I think he enjoyed what he is doing.**

What does a 1 to 1 school mean to you. A one to one school to me means that school is much easier because typing is so much faster and more convenient. Good things about mac books are you can type usually faster then writing. If your pencil lead runs out or you forget your pencil you don't even need one with macs. You don't need to bring textbooks around which are a hassle, its all in your mac. Some cons about macs are that people get distracted and play games in school and don't pay attention. Plus, macs are delicate and can brake if you are not careful and can have technical difficulties.

Think of a topic: Scary Dream I woke up the next morning and my alarm was off! My mom came into my room and she said, “What are you doing! The bus took off four minutes ago! Get your backpack and let’s go!” I thought about how this would influence my new year. Would I get noted as a person who is always late? Uh oh... I went with my mom and I sat in the front seat. I was so embarrassed; I didn’t know what to say. The teacher probably would have looked down at me for the rest of the year if I get late. I thought about that for about half an hour until… Bang… just like that, I woke up in the hospital, my left leg is broken and as well as my right arm. The nurse came into my room and just as she walked over to my bed she turned into an alien! Just then, everything vanished. An extremely annoying sound occurred, about eight buzzes. It was my alarm! I woke up and I checked the date and it was the first day of school. What happened? Why did I see all that? Just at that moment my dad came in and said, “Morning sleepy head, I tried to wake you about three times, but every time I touched you, you screamed “NOOO!” What kind of dreams were you having?” “Morning dad. Thanks.” It was just a dream.**
 * My name is Jonah, I am a 13-year-old boy and I’m very excited for this new school. Mr. ohm is my new principle and he gave me a personal tour of the whole building. This campus is real big and I’m afraid I’ll get lost on my way to classes. I was assured that the students here are very nice.

Pretend you are Ulysses writing a letter to Penelope, your wife. Dear Penelope, it has been a long war. We have come across many difficulties and many confusions. The cyclops has trampled us and we defeated it by stabbing him in the eye. Our ships had landed on lotus land and we were trapped for awhile. I fought the scent and saved ourselves. We went to a island where a witch had turned her very old husbands into animals. We found out that we would visit the land of the dead. When all this is over I will see you at home!

If you could change something about yesterday, what would it be and why? If I am able to change something that happened yesterday, then it would how I stepped in a puddle and my shoe was wet for like two hours. It was really un confortable

My day was going pretty well I guess. I woke up dead tired because I stayed up too late. I didn't want to go to school as usual. My bus came a little late. On the bus I fell asleep until the bus hit a bump and I woke up. Really mad as I was I have to print for my classes.
 * How is your day going?**

I would visit Antarctica because I have never seen a a real live penguin in his natural state and it would be cool. I want to see them swimming and eating. Penguins usually hunt and that would be nice to see them. Everyone has at least seen a picture of a penguin. Has everyone really seen them in real life?
 * If you could visit any place on earth, where would you go? Why.**

If you could change MS, what would it be and why.** I would change how P.E. is only half a year. P.E. is usually very fun so being only half a year as it is, ruins the fun of it not being here on the other half of the year. I would change how lunch is only a short period of time and recess is less than lunch time. Also, I would change how clubs are only twice a week. School starts too early as well. I would change the time school starts and the time school ends.

 * Comment**: I agree with you because P.E is really fun and I don't really like having P.E for only half of the year. Also lunch time is too short so I have to eat lunch really fast- P.S- its Lisa Lee

Who do you admire? Dead or Living.** I admire my mom. Shes a great person and always there to help anyone that needs it, shes a really amazing woman and I'm proud to call her mom. She always puts effort into this family and we are all great full for her well being. My mom is always there to support, even when it is really something she does not want to do.

How would television or video games influence your behavior?** It would influence your behavior because if you watch a lot of TV then you could act stuffy and out of control. Socially as well, because you could only play video games instead of hanging out. As well as if you play or watch gory games you could act that way.

If I had to choose any superpower, how would I do that for evil or good.** I would choose the ability to teleport. It would be useful for when I were playing sports. Carrying or dribbling the ball and teleport really short and fast distances. When I have to walk a long distance I would just whiff up a batch of not walking there but instantly appearing there in less than half a second. This would be very efficient! No more walking! Just instantly being there. I wouldn't have to ride the bus, cars, or planes. I would enjoy this experience.

My day wasn't too good. In the morning I didn't feel like waking up at all. When my alarm was buzzing for about four minutes I decided to finally just get up. I took a shower, got ready for school. Waited for the bus and slowly, but surely came to school. On the bus I was still tired so I leaned my head against the window and the bus hit a bump so my head hit the window, my head still hurts. I came up the stairs and went to the upper gym for physical education. At the wait room did a few things, such as lifting a couple weights, and jogging on the treadmill. After about fifteen minutes we had to go on the mountain and hike up and down twice. We had to go all the way back up to the upper gym and we played dodge ball for the remainder of the period. Soon after I had to rush to Spanish class, It wasn't so fun. We did work all class. Finally class ended and I had to stay in the same room for advisory and we colored a poster. I later went to lunch, ate spaghetti and went to the library to relax. Now, I am in English 7G.
