Today I read an article about how parents and teachers are worried that Halloween will affect high school students chances of passing the AIMS. I think that no matter what day or holiday it is students can pass the test if they really want to. If they study like they are suppose to then they should pass the test with no problems. I think that some will try to use Halloween as an excuse for not passing the test and really they just did not try hard enough. If they do not take this serious then it is them that will not walk across the stage come graduation time. It all depends on if they want to succeed.

I think that college life is totally different from highschool. I really miss highschool because all of my friends were all together and we got to see each other everyday, now we are all scattered everywhere and it's very different. I really love going to college though I like how I don't have the same class everyday and that I get out early everyday, but going to college is a quicker life. The way we do assignments are different and just about everything we do envolves using a computer or going on the internet. I still need to learn how to keep up but I will get the hang of it soon.

I read an article today about a part-time police officer who went to his girlfriends home and opened fire on her and five of her friends. He killed her and four of her friends but one of them pretended to be dead and survived the incident. After shooting the victims he then committed suicide by shooting himself three times in the head. I think that this was a terrible tragedy that probaly could have been avoided. I think that he should have just talked to her to try and fix the problem. Violence is never a way to solve a problem, in the end someone always ends up getting hurt.

Journal #14 A plan I came up with recently

A plan that I recently came up with would have to be this past week. My uncle passed away a week a go and my family decided to go to Oklahoma for the funeral. All of the adults decided to drive down there last Wednesday, so I decided to volunteer myself to babysit my four year old cousin and thirteen year old little sister. That was the biggest mistake I had ever made. The weekend started off well, but then my sister and little cousin began to argue and fight and that created a lot of chaos. Then my little cousin was playing outside and fell and got the littlest cut and she cried for a long time so I had to buy her some ice cream to calm her down. I think that this has been one of my worst weekends ever, I was so happy when my family came back.

Journal #13 My favorite commercial

My favorite commercial would have to be the Orbits gum commercial where the wife catches her husband cheating with his assistant. It is my favorite commercial because the wife and the assistant start arguing and instead of cursing each other out they called each other lent lickers and the wife called the husband a son of a biscuit eating bulldog head. Then the Orbits gum lady comes in and says if you have a dirty mouth clean it up with Orbits. The commercial is really funny because of the way they say things to each other. I think that, that is one of the funniest commercials I have seen in a while.

Today I read a couple of different articles about celebrities getting arrested and most of them were for driving while drunk and they have suspended licenses. I think that celebrities should get treated the same way as if they were a normal person driving while they were drunk. No one should get special treatment just because they have more money than someone else. Everyone should be treated equally when it comes to breaking the law, but that is not what is happening. A lot stars have broken the law many of times and all they get is a warning and I do not think that it is fair.
