If you could switch places with or be anyone you wanted . . .Who would you be? OR . . .?

Hello all.

You know I don't miss class unless I really need to . . .I have a stomach bug. Yuck. So does my husband and the girls-it's a lot of fun at my house! And now my son.

Today's blog is what you would have written on Friday, I am hoping not to lose our momentum too much. BLOCK 8-be sure you work on last week's blog too.

If you could switch places with anyone (real or imagined) who would it be? Why? For how long? Where would you go? What would you do? Create a little story. Have fun!

I am editing this post this AM because of the primary results last night (and because I feel a little better right now and can think). You may choose to write about your thoughts on the primary last night-be sure to not write in an insulting way. You may just try to put your thoughts out there. The polls had Obama winning by double digits. McCain was out of money this summer with is staff resigning in droves. Now look who just got a second chance. Do you follow politics? Are you intersted in what is going on? Why? Why not? You may even check CNN.com or BBC.com or any other news you like to watch for more information. You may even try looking at a source you don't normally look at for a different perspective.

Enjoy,
Mrs. Gaboury

Be sure to post.

What were we sposed to do 4 the essay again?

Extra Credit

The book I am currently reading is F451 by Ray Bradbury. I personally think that the book is so-so. I wouldn't say that I don't like it, but at the same time I won't say that I love it. It is interesting in the way that it is some what suspenseful in parts and that the author goes into great discription about the surroundings in the book. Although some parts are long and not very exciting to read. Besides those parts I think that the ideas expresses in the novel like growing ignorance are true and catch my atention. The book has made me think about how people arn't told about all the things they should know about. Also, how some people don't even care enough to pay attention to what is going on. I've also seen that the worst this issue gets the more people who care push to try and change what is happening. That part makes me believe that the problems in Fahrenheit 451 won't reach to be as severe in real life. This book should be used in school to help encourage people to look at what is happening around them. As a free reading book I would say that this book would be more entertaining with people who like to think about life and have the patience to stay concentrated even on the slow going parts of the book.

Reflection

I can't believe that 2007 is already over and that the new year is here. There are so many things to look back on over the year. One of the biggest things that happened this past year would have to be graduation. It was so different leaving the middle school and going to the high school. I hadn't even been back to the middle school until a few days ago. Graduation was exciting and happy because we were all moving forward, but at the same time a little sad that we were leaving an old school. If I were to give this any song it would have to be the song that was played at graduation. It's not a very creative choice, but it fits. Another big event was my family trip to Italy for two weeks. I haven't every had a better vacation than it. We were there for two weeks and visited Rome, Florence, Fano, and Venice with day trips to Assisi, San Gimignano, Siena, Murano, and Burano. I loved it and my song for this event would be "The Great Escape" by Gwen Stefani because there isn't a better escape from everyday life than going to another country. The third major thing in '07 was my birthday which was on September 7. I finally turned 14 so now I can get job...but why would want to do that. If you couldn't already guess which song I'm choosing it's Happy Birthday. The fourth event was the construction on our house. For the past few months we've had workers coming every day to fix or change something. It's still going on but they don't show up every day and now we have a new front entrance, north entrance, garage, luandry room, and several closets. The fifth thing that happened would be Christmas. My dad's side of the family came to our house for Christmas day including my Aunts and Uncles from North Carolina and Colorado. Even though it was kind of boring it turned otu pretty good in the end.

My New Year's resolution is to remember to do my homework for Math and Science. For some reason this past year I kept forgeting I had homework in those classes. As for the rest of the stuff I want to improve in, it can wait for monthly goals. Starting in February I'm going to try to procrastinate less...like thats every going to happen.
