Summer has finally ended and i have been in school for 3 weeks now. Mr.Sutherland is a pretty cool teacher and one of my favorite teachers this year. He makes english fun and educational at the same time. For Second period i have Mr. Martin who seems to be a pretty cool teacher with a weird sense of humor. Ap Environmental Science with Dr. Griffith's class is also fun, and art is alright. Math with Ms. Harrington is one of the strict classes i have been in in my life. Ap Physic is probably the most difficult class i have taken. School has been tough for me since i am not in the school mode yet, and i am not used to getting lots of homework every night from my AP classes. During the first week of school, i had no time to skate and i was getting nervous and stressing out already. The only homework that i enjoy right now is the english blog post because it lets me let stuff out of my mind freely while i am practicing my typing and writing skills. I feel that junior year is going be time to force myself out of being extremely lazy, cause this year is the most important year if your planing to make it in to a good college. My thought of an Ap classes does not even come close to what i thought it would be. I thought i would just be going at a fast rate then the regular ones but really it tons of studying and homework required to pass the class with good grade. Studying was never really one of my things, instead i would relax the day before the test so that my mind would be fresh during the test. Relaxing also keeps my mind form stressing, which is bad while your taking a big chapter test. I am hoping that i could get myself together before report cards so that i don't disappoint myself anymore than i am now, father more to prove to my parents that skating would not drop my grades in school.

  1. Chris,

    Paragraphs, paragraphs, paragraphs. It's fine to practice writing by letting your thoughts flow, as you say here...but then go back over them and break them down into smaller chunks, make sure they're organized the way you want, etc.

    Then we'll take a look at sentences.

    Glad you dig the blog assignment! I hope it works out and you get the type of writing practice you're looking for.
