Journal # 11 Most Spectacular Place

I think that the most spectacular place I have ever seen would have to be this place I saw this summer in California called San Pedro's. It was a little city in California that my aunt took me and some of my other family to. It was right by the beach it was very beautiful. We went right as the sun was setting it was crazy because I had only been to the beach once before in my life and it was a very nice scenery, it was also very cold out there. There were not that many people out there but most of them out there was there to watch the view. I could see people out on their boats sailing some were even swimming. If I ever had the chance again I would go visit that place as much as possible.

Journal #10 Wikipedia Article

There was an article today about an Indian chess player that is the world champion. I think that, that is an honor to know that he was considered the best player in the world. I think that chess is a game that most people in this country do not take very serious. I was in the chess club for three years in my middle school and I still play. Most of my friends think that it is a game for people who are considered nerds and I think they are wrong, it is a great game and it causes you to think while you are playing. People think that since it is not a sport where you use contact then it is not a sport and that is wrong. Chess is a sport that we are sleeping on and I do not think it gets the credit it deserves.

Journal #9 AZ Central

I think that driving while talking on the phone or text messaging is very dangerous. I think that there should be laws that band people from doing so. When a person is driving there only focus should be on the road. If people are going to talk on the phone then they need to get a hands free set so they can keep their eyes on the road. There are many accidents caused each day and I think that driving while you are on the phone can be one less thing that people are being killed by that can be prevented

Journal #8 How's class going so far

I think that class has been good so far. I am not use to getting different assignments like these back to back, but I think that the work keeps me busy and I think that we are learning a lot in this class. I really like how we keep a journal in this class, I think that it is important to get all of our thoughts and feelings out even if we are just writing them. I really have no problems yet in this class. I think that I have to get use to having so many different assignments in class. I am use to turning most of my assignments in on the computer I am still not use to that.

Journal #7

Something that I noticed about myself today is that I always wake up on time no matter what day it is. I wake up every morning during the week to get ready for school. If my alarm is on or if I forget to set it the night before I still wake up at 6:30 every morning. I think that my body is so use to waking up at that time that it is just a daily routine. Even sometimes on the weekends I wake up early, but I usually just fall back to sleep.

Journal #6

I read an article about how sites like Myspace has complicated roommate issues when going to college. I feel that a person will find out things about their roommate no matter who they know or find it out from. I think that people should talk to each other more that way they can get a better understanding of what that person is going through and where they came from. Myspace should not be something that we use to build relationships with the people that we are going to be living with. The things that people put on Myspace sometimes is probably fake and you should not judge someone based off of something you read.

Journal #4

I don't know if I would like to be famous. I think being famous has it's good and it's bad sides, I think that one of the good things about being famous is that you get to have a lot of nice things and everyone knows who you are. I think one of the bad things about being famous would be that you would not get to have any privacy and you would not get to be with your family all of the time. I think I would like being famous but I think I would get tired of it after a while because you should always have people around you that are real and want to enjoy your success with you, not ones who want to use you and just be around for the money. So if and when I become famous I want people to know that I am still the same person.

Dare Journal #3

There have been many times were someone has dared me to do something. I'm not really the type of person to actually do a dare, but there was one time were I followed out the dare and I got into a lot of trouble behind it. I was about ten years old and my older cousin who was twelve decided that we should play truth or dare, and me being young and not thinking decided to play. When it came time for me to pick truth or dare I picked dare to show him and my other older cousins I was not afraid to play the game. So my cousin decided that he wanted me to run up to my moms friend and to flip her off. At first I said no then i thought about it and decided to go ahead with the dare, so I went up to my moms friend and did it, it was the worst mistake. Not only was I grounded, but I also got whipped for it too.
