Halloween!

Everyone allways gets excited over Halloween, it's one of my least favorite holidays though. Haloween scares me. I get scared at almost everything, and i hate being scared, and when Haloween comes around everything just gets worse. Haloween also breaks a lot of rules that we follow every single day. One of them is to not take candy from strangers, instead of taking candy from one stranger, we take candy from a lot of strangers. Sometimes you don't even get candy, i get pennys a lot of the time. Something else that is weird about Halloween is when parents bring up a baby stroller to the door, and they only have a one year old kid. Can a baby really eat all that hard candy? That would just be silly. The adult always eats the kids candy, and that is taking advantage. I mean theres that part in your life were you have to stop trick or treating weather you want to or not.

Something i like to do on Halloween is watch "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". It's something you just have to do on Haloween, it's a classic. The other good thing about Halloween is candy. That's about it, dressing up is okay too.

Things you have to do on Haloween:
1. Say "Trick or treat". It's a must.
2. Do not use a pillow case.
3. If you have a kid less then 2 years old, don't take him trick or treating.
4. Watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
5. Don't give out pennys. That's just silly.

Insomnia, Procrastination, and Yogurt.

Today is a yet another day filled with no accomplishments. It wasn't productive what so ever, besides this blog post of course. It's becoming a trend and that isn't good. I say that because I feel like I should always be doing something productive, even if it's nothing important. Coloring in a coloring book is productive and isn't important. Scratch that, point is, I need to stop procrastinating things and be more productive. There, now saying it makes me feel better and maybe I'll actually do it. Just this morning during the M.E.A.P., I almost fell asleep trying to answer the pointless social studies questions of doom. How was I supposed to know how French started in Canada? Most of what I learned last year s about the civil war. Why couldn’t they ask me questions about that? Why do we have to take a test anyway? They don’t bother telling you these things in school, all the teachers say it’s mandatory, that’s about it.


Well I suppose it’s my fault I’m tired at school. Usually I have yogurt in the morning on the bus, which of course, I forgot this morning. It’s the only thing that keeps me awake in the morning, no matter how long I sleep, which I about 2 hours every night, and on top of all that, I have insomnia. I usually get to bed at twelve, and I don’t fall asleep until about three, two if I’m lucky. I told my mom I have insomnia and that I should see a doctor, but I don’t think she believes me. And on top of ALL that, today I woke up at about 6:40 which is when the bus gets here. I scrambled like eggs around the house for five minutes to get ready, do all of my chores, make my lunch, and find some yogurt for the bus, which I left in the car anyway.

Things to note:

First, finish homework before anything else. Second, convince my mom I have insomnia. Third, get an alarm clock. And MOST importantly, DON’T EVER forget the yogurt.

Polar Pandemic!

“Stop global warming!” I’m sure you hear this a lot, but do you actually know what global warming is? Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Global warming wraps around the world like a blanket, especially the arctic regions like Antarctica where animals like polar bears and seals are struggling to survive. Though polar bears aren’t critically endangered they’re still vulnerable to high risk of extinction if we don’t take action to try and protect animals like polar bears, and the environment. Global warming also increases chances of flooding droughts and other naturally occurring storms. Hurricanes could also increase and could also be more damaging when they do.

I got concerned about global warming when I was in 7th grade and since then I’ve tried to make a difference by recycling more and buying environmentally safe products. I believe that we can all make a difference if we just give it a shot. We just need to take the time to put in our fair share. Throw away some litter found on the street, or recycle some clean empty pop cans, and take a cold shower once in awhile. If we all pitched in, we can make a difference and save those polar bears from extinction. We could even protect the world from deadly hurricanes, floods and droughts. Save the environment, save the world! To learn more about global warming click here. To see what you can do to help the enviornment click here.

Lunch-OUT

I left the unfamiliar surroundings of German class as the hallway practically exploded with people. Everyone knocking into each other, like bumper cars at the fair, except it lacks the smell of elephant ears and pizza. I was on my way to lunch, and I only knew one person in it. The rest were in the lunch after mine. I couldn’t spot her in the hallway as I was edging towards my locker; it was like spotting out a rabbit in the snow. Once I got to my locker about half of the hall was empty and I was hoping I could find a spot at a table when I saw my friend, she poked me and said hi as she sped down the hallway, I could barely keep up and before I knew it I lost track of her. I always wondered how she could walk that fast, anyways, I wandered down the hallways and finally found the lunch rooms, except they were both completely full, there were already people eating in the hallway.

I desperately looked for my friend but I couldn’t see her. I must of walked in and out of each lunch room about 20 times so I gave up, slid on the floor in the hallway, and munched on my food, hoping that I would see someone I knew, or at least be fast enough to catch up next time. I never even thought you could even eat in the hallways, so it was a new experience I guess. It was a slow lunch but it was sped up from my thoughts on how the rest of the day would go. People started leaving the lunch rooms and bunching up with their friends, filling the hall with conversation and laughter as they waited for the teacher to let them pass. I had nothing to do but get up and wait with them.

They let us thru and I made my way to 4th hour, slowly, but surely. I walked in the room just in time for the bell to ring, the loud shaking of metal against my ears like two symbols playing over and over again. My teacher had just announced that our schedules were messed up and we were now having the next lunch. My smile must have been pretty big considering the look I got from the person next to me, but I didn’t care because I had so many friends in that lunch that I was bound to find someone I knew in it. When I heard that, all my lunch troubles drowned away. Next goal, drown my academic troubles away.
