Jacob Adams post 2

Everyday school gets closer and closer. And while school isn't the best I am surprised by the amount of school hate I'm seeing on here. Its not that bad is it? School is a magical place where you can find people from all backgrounds and personality types. you have kids that would rather die than fail a test, you have some that didn't know it was possible to pass a test. schools have there shy quiet kids while also having its fair share of loud obnoxious kids. there's normal people, there's weird people, high school has it all. except free lunch and subs. So I am going to share my junior high/high school experiences. I remember in 6th grade when teachers were getting us ready junior high they would talk it up like some scary place. if you forgot your paper they'd look at you real serious and say "you think you can lose your paper in junior high? NO you can't they won't hold your hand over there!" I wouldn't admit it but I was a little nervous because I can lose a paper from time to time. in my mind 7th grade was gonna be 180 days of me losing papers and being yelled at by teachers. turns out they just give you another. who knew. That wasn't all I was nervous about I had countless thoughts of things that could go wrong. Where will I sit in the lunchroom? would I be with people I know? will I get lost? will Griffin bully me? so many questions but not enough answers. So after a year of 6th grade teachers telling me junior high was prison rules I started my first day.

I walked in the building it was huge and I didn't know anyone. first bell rings and I stroll merrily to my class a little nervous it would be full of strangers. luckily my good pal Chase was in there so if it was terrible at least I knew someone. This kid named Chandler was in there was well, I didn't know him but he seemed normal. This post is getting a long so I'll have to continue my legendary stories in another post and tell you good people why high school isn't so bad.

Channy's Journals #11

You may be confused as to why the number of this journal entry is eleven. I am going to be numbering these backwards so it will be easier for me to deal with the fact that I am going to be writing these all in a matter of a few days. It will be kind of a countdown sort of deal. That way when I am done writing these I will feel even more relief when the countdown reaches zero. Hopefully, this will also make reading these more difficult and complicated for Mrs. Long. What these are going to be is just like a collection of everything that is happening and has happened over the course of the past two months. Some of these journals may also be just me writing stories. I wrote a story for one of the journal entries last year, and I thought it was somewhat decent at the time. I read it recently and thought it was absolute garbage. So hopefully I can come up with something better than a omniscient figure watching over a troubled teenage girl, protecting her from the elements of a rough upbringing. While I think the idea is interesting, it’s been done too many times before for me to make it special. I wouldn’t say I have a certain writing style, but I am really hoping to improve upon that in the coming school-year. Speaking of which, I am ecstatic for the start of school. I look forward to trying not to break my Chromebook again this year. I look forward to seeing everyone and getting back into the hustle and bustle of a regular school day. I cannot wait for basketball to start so I can finally enjoy the games as a spectator, as I don’t plan on managing again this year. This is because I still won’t be able to drive for most of the season. This really doesn’t matter, it’s just an excuse not to do it. Anyway, I am ready for August 14^th, and I’m ready to offer scathing reviews on everyone else’s journal entries. Ciao. 

Blog 5 Carson Smith

So the past like 3 days I've been watching a lot of Netflix. I've watched One Tree Hill like 3 times already but I'm watching it again. Well I was until my Netflix started working. I guess that was Gods way of telling me in needed to blog since some people are already done :( I did finish my comments today, but I'm positive I'll have this done before August 14th. I say I'm regretting so much already. I also just ordered my book Friday, so when it comes in I'll have to hop right on that. I've been really busy with basketball, but now that we kind of have a break I should be able to finish. Oh wait. Tennis starts back Monday so I'll be extra rushed trying to get shots in begire or after practice. Oh and of course I have to run. These miles when school starts back are gonna kick my butt, but getting up at 6 is going to be worse. I'm excited about tennis thought. It's going to be hot, but I'm ready to make a run in state with my doubles Partner, the one and only, Bailey Jo;). Am I the only one that could be totally satisfied with sitting in bed all day watching Netflix? I'm not sure what it does to me but one minute it's 1:30 and I look up and it's already 5:45. Wow. I got a new bed and that doesn't help me any... well it helps me sleep:) Summer is really winding down. Either tomorrow or the next way will be August. I can't really keep up. You never realize how fast time flies. Life really is short. I'm hoping I can get a few more lake trips in, spend more time with friends, go shopping, etc. before school starts back. I realized that this summer assignment really has me dreading school. As I get closer and closer to getting this done the less I dread school. I'm just ready to get my junior year started! (Over with actually) So to the ines reading this: we only have two weeks left so make the most of it!! See you all soon

Seventh Blog - Tatum T.

So next week is my last week of volunteering. I volunteered at my moms work. She works at Family Counseling Center as a supervisor. Basically there, I can interact with clients in PSR and get experience with people who have mental health. This summer has been pretty great spending my time there. At first I was really nervous since I didn't know what to expect but eventually I grew to enjoy working there. So I've decided to work there next summer and on days we're off on during the year. Since now I realize I'm actually going to genuinely miss them. The staff were sweet, they'd laugh like hyenas the moment you look away, and do a bunch of arts and crafts. Not only did I learn more about mental health, but I learned that people who have mental health, aren't so different from us. They're basically normal people living through their every day lives just like us. I also learned new things, like coping skills for my anxiety and ocd, I learned how to make wreaths and it became a new hobby of mine. Wreaths are pretty easy to make and I made two in one day. It's really fun and relaxing, in honesty it might be a new coping skill of mine to use in spare time. But, I also have been learning that, people aren't so bad when you get to know them. Well some can be bad but not everyone is a bad person, no matter how different we are. Wow it sounds like some kind of thing you would hear from the breakfast club or something. I also found out yesterday that my costume for the masquerade has been shipped!!! Which means I'll get to go to the masquerade which is super cool!!! I have to focus on my summer work, I have about four more blogs to do. I'm gonna have to go ahead and comment on everything since I've lost track of the comments. I also realized that the chapters in that book are actually a lot longer so I may spend an entire day just to finish it. I hope everyone's having a wonderful summer! It's been nice to learn more about you guys, and I can't wait to start school with you guys again soon. Whoop Whoop one more year until senior year!!  - Tatum T.

Mallory Felton 6th blog

This is my 6th blog, getting close to being done!!! In this blog I'm going to tell you guys what I want for my future, some things may be far fetched, but whatever. As of now I'm high I want to buckle down and get foo d grades and have fun at the same time!b I want to be the best I possible can in sports as well! After highschool I hope to play college softball.. but if I don't it's okay. I want to be a nurse practitioner! I think it'll be best for me honestly, Bot to mention everyone in my family has done some sort of nursing in their life, some of my family are doctors! So I've always been around that type of  atmosphere  and I've always loved it! I love the thought of helping people! At the same time my mom thinks I should be a lawyer because I can "argue with a brick wall" which sometimes can be true... sometimes my mom is a brick wall, she don't budge and you can't hurt her. But I don't know if that's my calling, I don't even know if nursing is my calling. But what I do know is I don't want to be living from pay check to pay check, and that inwant a happy family! I want two kids, hopefully a bit and a girl... but I can't pick that so let's just hope that's what I get. I want o be the mom that's always doing something with their kids, and that cooks really good and makes desert for every dinner, like my mom. I want my kids to be involved in sports, but I won't make them. And hopefully I find a husband that will want all the same things! I want a guys that's all about me, that will work his butt if for his family and come home to spend time with us. I want a "family night" every Saturday night. Well until they get older then we will have to change it because they will be busy with friends or some thing. I want yearly vacations and bonding time! And most of all I want everyone to be happy!!!!

Mallory Felton 5th blog

Hi guys, I'm on my 5th blog. These are a lot easier than they sound, well once I find something to write about. The beinging  of my summer was great and I did a lot but now close to the end I've done nothing at all. Between basketball and my laziness I'm taking care of my nana that just got out of the hospital yesterday for surgery! To be perfectly honest I've been so stressed out because my nana has always been my second mom, she cared for me, loved me, supported me. And I've now figured out it's my turn to do that for her because now is when she will need me the most! I don't mind cleaning her house for her, making food for her. I would never do that stuff at my house, which makes my mom mad. But you don't think how short life really is until its someone's life that you love or your own! As for me it's my nana's, she's not old at all, mid 50's. But she's been through a lot and her body just doesn't want to take it easy on her. Shes a retired RN, which had the biggest toll on her body. All the walking and lifting from her job caused problems in her back, the stress from day to day life and doctors visits have given her kidney stones and lets be honest those things aren't something to mess with!! She's had many pticedures and has bounced back like no one I've ever seen after everyone of them! She's defiantly and fighter, and my biggest role model! If it wasn't for my nana I wouldn't be the woman I am today! She's taught me so much and when I act up she's not afraid to voice her opinion!! She's my biggest fan, the first to know if something's wrong, loves me no matter what, and she's there for anything! And I hope I could be just like her! I'm great full to have her influence in my life!!!

Mallory Felton 3rd blog

Hey guys, my third blog, yay. In this one I guess I'll tell you how I expect this year to  go. 11th grade, wow. I expect this year to be excitinG, we are getting closer and closer to our last year of high school! And I'm also so scared because I have no clue what my life will have in store for me! This year will be one for the books though, hopefully the Girls Varsity basketball team will take state, we sure do want it! And not to mention softball, may not win state but just playing is exciting to me, it's by far my favorite sport. This year I'll also be joining the tennis team, and I'm so nervous because I've never really played. But there's a first time for everything right? So maybe we can go somewhere with tennis as well! As some of you know lotti, briley, carmen and I all went to state for track, but just to let you know, we got second to last and that's only because another team dropped the Paton. But the experience... and getting out of school was fun, maybe we'll get lucky again this year. I expect myself to be more focused this year, I've never done bad in school but I want to finish my last two years really strong! I want to really out do myself this year, become a better person, not get walked all over and to have more/ better friends. But most of all I want to really figure out what my calling will be for after high school. I know I'll go to college, but I don't know what for. I don't know what I want for myself yet, so it's time for me to buckle down this year and figure out! I wish all my other classmates the best of luck this year and that they make the most of it, because as you can tell we are all realizing it doess NOT last forever.

Tenth Blog Post Of The Summer -Dezarea Jones

Hey Guys! How has everyone been? It has been pretty hectic since my last blog post. Around June 10th my grandpa was sent to the hospital because he had a diabetic ulcer on his foot. While in the hospital they discovered my grandpa had a heart problem. Instead of his heart beating the right way it flutters. They talked about shocking his heart and open heart surgery. Well they decided to shock his heart here recently. Before they could shock his heart they had to stop his heart completely. Pretty scary right?..  Well the good news was it worked! His heart was beating normally again! On July 22nd my grandma was admitted to the hospital. The night before she came to the hospital she couldn't feel her legs and couldn't stand on her own. My grandma is really really overweight. So she has had many health problems but hasn't been to the doctors in 15 years! Anyway, the doctors at St. Bernard's said she has congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure is when blood doesn't pump to the heart right. She is still in the hospital and we don't when she will be home. When she is able to come home, I am going to stay with her for a little while. Yesterday, July 24, we went to the hospital to see her before my grandpa had to go to the heart doctor. Remember how I told you that his heart was beating the right way again? Well, it is beating irregular again.. In about a month my grandpa will return to the hospital to have cardiac ablation done. "Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your rhythm problems." "Cardiac Ablation Procedures." MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia. Web. 25 July 2017.  If you don't mind, I was wondering if everyone would take a moment and say a prayer for my grandparents. Thank you. Until my grandma gets out and my grandpa gets back from work I am dog sitting for them. Well one of their dogs Reba is about to go into heat so she won’t leave my dog Wade alone. So my grandpa is on his way back to Arkansas to come and get her to take her with him. Oh, I almost forgot to tell y'all, my grandpa is a truck driver. So I’ll just have their black pug Nana. Anyway, let’s change the subject. I recently remember that we have to take the Accuplacer. Does anyone know what score we have to make? I have to talk to Ms. Shey about when I can go and take it. So it looks like I will be taking some practice test online. This is now over 350+ words so I will be ending it in a minute. So it is currently storming and my lights just flickered. I was like “Nooooo!” It would get majorly hot in my house is our electricity was turned off. This is my 10th blog post so I have 1 more left!! There may be some exciting news in my next blog post!:) See ya later! Have a good summer!

Mallory Felton 2nd blog

 Now that I've gotten my rant post out of the way I guess I can't tell a little about my summer. Besides all the basketball and couch sitting it's been pretty fun. I went to the beach twice, once we went for a ball camp in fort Walton flordia but had to leave early because of a tropical storm. The semiconductor time I went with my dad to daytona flordia, and let me tell ya, party city. They week we was there was a blast though. I watched sooo many beautiful sun rises over the beach, people being stung my jelly fish, dolphins jumping through waves really close to shore, and of course the drinks who thing they can catch one. The majority of my time was spent on the beach trying to tan, which didn't work because I literally can not tan, I think something is wrong with me honestly. But I also sent a lot on my time in the water, I don't know why though because it was freezing and anytime I got in I broke out because of my stupid allergy, it sucked. But I had a great time though, may not have been worth the 15 hour drive there and other 15 back but at least I got memories that will always be there. Well at least until memory loss kicks in. The rest of my summer has been spent in a gym or even on my couch, surprised? I'm not complying though because basketball works off all the food I eat while in the couch, but the couch work out all the tiredness I feel after practice, so its all good. I've had a productive summer in the court honestly. I've finally gotten my three point shot down, I'm getting less careless with the ball, my shot selection has gotten better, and I've just became and all around better player this summer and I'm super excited for this season and what t has in story for me and my teammates, hopefully god will be on our side and guide us to win state.  I know that's what we all are going after but I think our team deserves to win, we are so dedicated and focused and we all love the game!! This summer has helped us all so much, everyone has improved and we are ready to take on whatever is thrown at us!!!

Mallory Felton blog 1

As we all know High School is the worse time for teens. Most of them anyways. This is one of my favorite topics that I could continue on for the rest of my blogs if I could, but I won't. Riverside highschool is NOT like the high schools you see in tv, where everyone have at least 5 best friends, or where they actually have fun at school. No Riverside is filled with numb hearted boys and girls. I would say men and women but everyone in Riverside is too immuture to be called men or women. I personally think that everyone at Riverside, both boys and girls need a reality check. What we students don't understand is, big butts, big chests, being rich, being popular, won't get you anywhere in life. You see we come to school to ridicule people, we don't come to learn. We come to make fun of the quiet girl in the back of the room who dresses funny. Not once do we think about her story, Not once do we think about what she goes through, NOT ONCE do we think if she's hurting, yet we hurt her more. At Riverside it's all fun and games, our education doesn't matter, even though that's what will get us through life. We come to school trying to look cool, to make people believe that we are rich, that we are popular, When will we decide to take off that stupid mask? When will realize that the opinion of these immuture boys and girls won't matter when you're working a night shift to keep your family fed? When will we realize we will never see these people again? Or are we doing this to cover up the problems in our life? Not to make friends but to make ourselves feel better, but is it working? This is what I mean when I say high school is he worst time for teens. We are trying to find ourselves in a society that won't let us. Girls, are supposed to wear make up to look pretty, we have to be skinny, have big butts, and a big chest just to even be excepted. Boys on the other just need to have good hair, hurtful jokes and the ability to hook up with every girl he sees. Cruel isn't it?  At Riverside guys are cool for getting with 7 girls throughout the school year, but if a girl who texts more than one guy automatically gets a bad reputation. I think we can all agree when we say this isn't fair.. but life's not fair, right?

11th blog Cara Williams

AHHH IT'S MY 11TH BLOG.I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! These blogs aren't hard at all. They are actually pretty fun once you get past the word count ! I think I'll make this like any of my other blogs and just talk about my day! Well I woke up around 8 this morning . My mom wanted us to go school shopping. I think it may be a little to early for school shopping but oh well. I would rather be early than late anyway. Getting some school clothes made me think about how fast this year has gone by and how fast the last school year was. When I was younger I felt like it always dragged on but last year it didn't feel like that. I think when you have senior friends you're just trying to spend all this time with them before they leave you. A lot of people I really like left last school year. I know I'm going to miss them . I'm not really close with anyone who is a senior this year except Bethany. Bethany and I talked every single day. I definitely know I'm going to cry when she graduates. My yearbook class is also filled with a whole bunch of seniors . That's stressful because then when they leave all the extra pages are going to be put in us juniors and sophomores. Especially since Mrs.Goodart has seen the work we can do. I am so anxious about this school year. I just want to be my very best! I'm good in school until around March and then I don't care anymore. I don't plan on being like that this year. Nothing is going to stand in my way of applying myself to the best of my abilities, or at least I hope! I start my first job this up coming Wednesday. I am so nervous ! I feel like  our whole class is growing up and it's crazy. I remember when we were in 6th grade thinking about how cool we were because we were the oldest in elementary haha. Now we're almost the oldest in High School and I don't think that's cool. I feel kinda sad. I got some great news a couple days ago.  changes are coming my way! I just cannot contain my excitement! But I haven't told anyone ;) I don't particularly like surprises but I think everyone else does ! So that's what I'm going to do. Well I am officially done with blogging ! All I have to do is read that silly book! Bye guys;D

Blog 6 - Tatum Tornkvist

School is slowly creeping closer and closer, I'm planning on writing two a day at least and commenting as much as I can before school starts. It's about time I finished this summer assignment. I see everyone's having a good summer and having fun. That's really nice. I've been doing my usual thing, and thinking about what there is to do before school starts. Thinking in general about life. So, I have two? One more week? Either one or two weeks left of volunteer work; I'm actually sad that it's coming to an end for now. I'm actually sad that school is going to begin again since I get to dwell back into the stress hole again. But I'm also happy to see everyone again, see how they're doing, how things have changed in the course of a few months. There's so much to worry about, and so much to look forward to. I'm actually not ready for senior year either. It's scary because, there's so much I want to do at school, so much I want to cherish already. Maybe something new and interesting will happen. Here is, well where I'm going to vent a little. I, didn't want to say before because I got nervous people would be quick to judge me or something crazy like that. But, last month, during the middle of the month I finally went to my psychologist to get properly diagnosed. I was hitting the depression hole around that time and trying to understand what has been going on. I've been getting the proper help and they finally figured out what has actually been going on. I have been diagnosed with Social Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I'm sure some of you are familiar with those. If not I'll explain a little of what each is. Social Anxiety is pretty self explanatory in it's name; it's when being in social situations causes anxiety. OCD is basically obsessive thoughts which lead to obsessive compulsions. The doctor said my OCD causes my Social Anxiety, and it actually explains a lot since I can't properly socialize, and being in large crowds, social situations, groups, standing in front of people. It all gives me anxiety. I always thought that if I said the wrong thing- I'd end up making a fool of myself or weirding people out. When I get to know people though, they're not so bad. Maybe I'll manage to conquer it this year, I hope so. I hope everyone's having a good summer so far and that ya'll wrap up your summer assignments before school starts! - Tatum Tornkvist

Blog 4 Carson Smith

Today I'm feeling encouraging so I'm gonna feel this blog with encouraging words straight from my heart or brain. Whatever. As teenagers we are all so stressed. Stressed about school starting back, our summer assignments, relationships, friends, parents, etc. Theres so many things we can worry about that don't even deserve to be worried about. Teenagers should be able to live stress free. You all need to know that God has a plan. So there's the girl or guy that you like and they won't even give you the time of day... well who cares? There are over 7 billion people in this world and all you need is 1. God has that 1 very person for you picked out. You may know them already or you may not. You can't worry about what you can't control. Be patient and things will fall into place. What's means to be, will be, I promise. Maybe you're parents don't get along or you and your friend or boyfriend/girlfriend are fighting. Relax. Maybe it's rough now, but it gets better. Don't rely on things like drugs or alcohol to get you through it because it will never work. Pray and you will feel so much better, because he always hears you. Oh and eat that cupcake because God made your body in his image and you don't have to look like a Victoria secret model. Dang 350 words of encouragement is more than I thought. If you work hard, it will come. Work hard in school. How you do in school dictates your whole future people!! Don't be "too cool" to study or too lazy to take that AP class or do you're homework. When you look back on high school you'll want to be able to say you did you're best because that's what matters most. You don't have to have to most money, best clothes, newest phone, because none of hat is gonna matter one day. Be nice; it will get you so far! Doing things for others gets you a long way and we need more helping people in this world. If you got anything out of this remeber to BE PATIENT!!!

10th Blog Cara Williams.

Hello! I AM SUPER EXCITED ITS MY 10Th FLIPPITY FLAPPING BLOG. I didn't feel like blogging  yesterday so I am doing it today early. Well yesterday I woke up around eight in the morning. I was getting ready to go to that job  interview. Did I tell you guys that I caught a cat the other day and it's crazy and I accidentally let it go in the house. Well before I got ready for my job interview I had to look for that freaking cat  and I couldn't find it anywhere. I think I heard it once but I didn't know where it was at . So I just gave up and I asked my brother to look for him while I was in town. Klorissa  and I both had a job interview at the same place, I think I told you guys this too. We both went together because we thought that would be easiest and because we're good friends. When we got there I think we were both pretty nervous.  Her interview was right before mine.  Her sister and I both told her to go in early to make a good impression. She went in and five minutes later she came out. She didn't look happy so I was worried but she got the job. I am so super happy for her! Then  it comes my turn for the interview  and I have to met I did not want to go in at all! I was super nervous and Klorissa  and was rushing me out of the car!  Yes I did that to her too but I was more nervous now that she had the job!  I went in and the guy was kind of weird but not even five minutes of talking he told me I was tired too! So now   Klorissa and I  both work at the same place!  He didn't schedule her till next weekend and next week for three days is when I work. I think that he was going to work me on the weekend with Klorissa  but he knows were friends so he said he wasn't going to do that. Which kind of upset me because I'm nervous and excited and I don't want to mess up! Especially when I don't know anyone there!  I first have to get some work shoes and black yoga pants before I go of course . I am done with this blog so bye:)

Blog 3 Carson Smith

My friend from Florida is down for a week. It's always fun to see her because she only gets to come down once a week. Her name is Elizabeth Spurlock. She has really brown curly hair and brown eyes. She lives in Apopka Florida. I met her when I was reallly young because her grandparents live in Lake city. Her grandma and my gran were always great friends. Once a year, or sometimes twice, she comes down. We always swim, go out to eat, and spend the whole week together. When we were younger she would come and go to VBS with us at church. One year we went to the lake and spent the weekend. Another time we had this huge blow up water slide. Elizabeth would always come down for Christmas and see her grandma and grandpa until her grandma died about a year ago. I remember Haven was staying at my grans and she woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me. Sherry and Larry (Elizabeth's grandparents) were in Texas for work. They went one night to get ice cream and as they were crossing the road Sherry was hit by a car. It was so unexpected. Sherry was one of the sweetest ladies in our church and like another grandma to me.  My gran was devastated and we hated to see Elizabeth go through that. Haven, Delaney, and I all got her gift to remember her grandma.  We had to go to her funeral and now Elizabeth doesn't get to come see us as much. Her grandpa had a rough time dealing with it and had trouble getting time for her to come down. We're glad she has gotten to come down this week. We always have fun seeing her. Today we went to eat in Paragould and we're going swimming later. Tomorrow we're getting up early to get breakfast and then taking her to Memphis to catch her plane:( I hope one summer we can all go down to Florida to see her. I hope you all have an out of town friend!! It's sad to be away from them, but it makes seeing them so much more exciting! I love Lizzy, and maybe one day some if you can meet her:-))

9th blog Cara Williams

Hey guys it's currently 12:51 AM on a Thursday. I was going to start this blog at around 10 but I got caught up. So today (Wednesday)  I guess I could say I had an OK day. It wasn't the best but which day is best. What can you consider a good day or a bad day? Well today started off with my mom yelling at me. She asked if I could go get the mail which I did in her car. My sister then dropped my nephew off so we could take him to his two month check up. As I was getting him ready I got thrown up on ha ha. It's actually not funny I got it on video. Which is good content for my private account. While my mom and I were in town we got lunch. My order got messed up, there was guacamole and tomatoes everywhere .  I was pretty grossed out. I decided  to throw the untouched food away it was just too much for me .  As we were at the doctor I got thrown up on again! Then we went to Walmart and my mom wouldn't let me get what I wanted. Which if you know my mom she never lets me get what I want anyway.  When we got home I went straight to bed and took a big nap. When I woke up I saw that I had missed a call from a number I didn't know. Now I told you guys and my last blog that  I had applied for three jobs in hopes that I would get a call. I called the number back  and it happened to be Murdocks.  That isn't necessarily   The place I wanted to get a call from but at least I actually got a call for an interview so I am thankful. If I do not get this job I think me and klorissa  can get a job at some café.  Hopefully I get a job before school starts back. We don't have too long and I know that isn't what anyone wants to hear but that's life. As I was getting on Snapchat I got a message from Klorissa.  It was a picture but I didn't really want to see and then I thought two other times ha ha.   I wasn't upset though and I was just shocked. I guess that's how life works out sometimes. When people tell you that someone isn't good for you I guess you should believe them.  I know some people don't believe that and they have great outcomes. But for me that hasn't happened so far, I've always seen the good in people who can't even see the good in them self .  I guess that's what I get treated badly. Now this is that me trying to be sappy and trying to get people to feel bad for me. It's just my life  and I have come to except it.  I'm starting  to think I don't really have feelings  and I know 16-year-olds shouldn't feel that way but I do. I kind of feel like this is maybe a diary or journal so I feel comfortable typing this. But when we get back to school or when I see that people can actually read this I'll probably be embarrassed. That is OK though because that is life and life is embarrassing, crazy,  and dramatic. It did make me feel better that I could help someone today though. Cains friend Jesse spend the night.  He hit something and he thinks he broke his thumb! I have to admit  it was kinda  funny  but I did feel bad. So the skills I learned from nurse camp helped me out. I gave him a thumbs splint and put ice on has them. Hopefully he just jammed it but I guess we will find out in the morning.  I'm sure this is way past 350 words so I'm going to go. Bye!

FINAL BLOG BAILEY JO

This is my very last blog and i’m so very excited. I mean i still have ten comments to do and read or whatever but oh well! I’m done with these! Raise your hand if you hate boys! I bet you all did. So I’m going to tell you why I hate them. I started talking to this boy around when school was about to end. We talked for 4 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. He was truly the second boy i have ever fell in love with. Well you know how boys are playing with your feels and what not. I bought him a $50 hat because he said he liked it. I better get that back because boy. you ain’t special. Well we hung out two weeks ago for about 5 hours. We kissed for the first time and let me tell ya. Best kiss I have ever had. I was tired of waiting because I just wanted him to be mine. I told him how I was tired and a whole bunch of other things. He says “I honestly don’t think this is going to work out.” BOY YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU WANTED ME FOREVER. YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME FOR THE FIRST TIME 3 WEEKS AGO! I never replied and here I am. Boys are awful. Stay single my friends. Speaking of him being the second person I loved. The first one is my best friends brother and we dated for 2 1/2 years. It was awesome. Wanna know how I broke up with him? I said “Hey your ex is cute.” He says “who babe?” I said “me.” i walked off and he started crying. I felt so bad. I just didn’t love him anymore but I thought it was soooooo funny. Most of you already know who I’m talking about. Im literally obsessed with him. I have like 200 photos of him on my phone. This was 4 years ago. Boooom chicken soup. Oh and Klo. Why did you have to tell our story about me and Carson not showing up. We thought you weren’t going!

8th blog Cara Williams

Hello. It's 11:05 pm .  I didn't blog Monday simply because I didn't want to. It's now Tuesday and I can barely remember my day. I think it started around 8 this morning. I had to wake up klorissa  because my sister wanted us to look for jobs with her. So we got ready and we didn't dress up. My sister came and got us  and she was dressed like she was going to church on a Sunday morning. She even had a resume. She had about eight jobs on the resume and I couldn't even prove my potential in any of the jobs I applied for.  I applied for San Fran  bread, McAllister's, and Murdocks catfish . Yes I know that isn't very many places but everywhere I had went asked if I was able to prove it I was over 18 or 21. They also asked for my Social Security number and even my drivers license number. I might  apply for some sonic's in Jonesboro or places online. I would like to have a job before school starts back so I can get used to  all the work I'm going to have to do. At least one benefit of having a hand me down car is that it's already paid for. Which means all I have  to do is pay for car insurance but it is more money when you are a teenager.  I would like to spend my money on things I cannot afford now. Not that I will make a lot of money only making minimum wage. But I can   At least splurge on make up and not feel completely guilty. I really like make up I just don't like the cost of it. I would also like a nice dress for prom  even though I would only wear that dress once. I feel like I have had a stressful day. I have gotten thrown up on by my nephew about  five times. I have also had the privilege of getting yelled at over text message.  What had happened was my sister spent about $50 on some make up or make up powder. Which is a lot of money. She had thought  she took it  out of her Dillards bag. But around 10 tonight she couldn't find it. I searched the whole house and even asked klorissa if  she had seen it .  It was absolutely nowhere to be found. Until Klorissa remembered she made us throw away one of her bags at farmers market. She was skeptical and didn't think she had left it in the bag she told us to throw away. klorissa  and I decided to go to farmers past  my curfew by the  away and to look in the trash to see if it's in there . I had to sneak out of my house which was pretty scary. I dug through that trashcan which was pretty gross and guess what I found that make up powder. That's pretty much how my day went and so I am exhausted and mad at my sister. Good night! ( this is 514 words!!!)

Blog 3 Carson Smith

    Well here's my 3rd blog of the summer, and I really know I'm behind because Bailey is Shiraz of me. WOW!! I just got back from a short vacation. Me and some of my family took a trip do Orange Beach, Alabama. It was a lot of fun!! We got down Thursday about 1 and went to the beach and then Friday and Saturday we got up and did the same thing. We'd go to the beach, go to the pool, grab a snack at the condo, and we took a nap or two. I really wanted to go parasailing but we never had the time. Our condo room was on the first floor of 15. We couldn't see the ocean from the room, but it was great not having to take the elevator all weekend, we could easily get to our room, and the pool was right outside our door. Me and Haven would go sit by the pool at night and wait for boys to come up to us. We got three guys' snapchats. The first night we were there we just cooked a pizza for supper, but Friday night we went to The Crap Trap in Florida, and Saturday night we went to the hangout. My mom posted a picture Friday night and said "The Crap Shack" like really mom. The hangout was a lot of fun. They had live music, cute boys, and really good food. We took lots of pictures, many of them we were forced to (gotta love moms). We also bought a huge Swan floaty!! We took it in the ocean and it was so much fun. It was even funnier when my mom and Angie got on. You just had to see it. Sunday morning, they were a little sore, but the laugh was worth it. We got up and came home that day. I hate riding in cars for like 9 hours. It made me sad coming home because it was such a short trip. Overall, it was a great vacation, and I wish we could have stayed longer! The ride home was a killer, but I would go back tomorrow! I love summer vacations :-)

blog 10 Bailey Jo

I honestly have no clue what to write about anymore. Today we had basketball practice. We really didn’t do anything too extreme. It was actually fun. We did shooting competitions, dribbling drills, post moves, and 3 on 3 cut throat. The new athletic directors kid was playing with us today. He’s actually really good. He had us all by surprise. His name is Thatcher and he’s going into the 6th grade. He’s not even coming to Riverside this year. He goes to Nettleton. After practice I drove my Meme to the heart doctor. She’s fine right now. She’ll get better too. Tomorrow I’m taking the Accuplacer again. Klo is going with me too. Lord y’all need to pray because I hate taking computerized tests. After that we’re going to the school for Student Countil. We will be there until  two in the afternoon. OH MY GOODNESS. we’re getting chuck-fil-a and i’m so excited. That’s my favorite food. I don’t know what to talk about now. I’m watching this tv series called Gypsy. It’s about a therapist who is obsessing over a patients ex girlfriend. I might add that she’s married to a dude. Now she’s lesbian with the patients ex girlfriend. She’s lying to the girlfriend saying her name is Diane and that she’s a reporter. Her real name is Jean and she’s a shrink. She’s got some real issues. I think she needs a shrink to talk to. Speaking of that. She just went to talk to her shrink. That was weird. But actually kind of cool. How many words is this. I usually say that to add more words. Am i there yet? Okay i’m done doing that. It’s actually kind of funny. Okay bye! IM DOING MY LAST BLOG TOMORROW!!!

7th blog Cara Williams

Hey guys, it's 11:08. I decided to do my blogs late again. I kinda feel like that was a big mistake . Now I barely remember my day. I'm so close to finishing my blogs! I should be done by the end of next week. I'm super itchy . My mom told me it was because of my sun burn but I wasn't aware that sun burns become itchy. I now believe the sun is the devil. I never want to go outside again. Shameless is pretty good. I am almost done with the all the seasons on Netflix. Have you guys started and series on Netflix? Have any of you guys finished the book we were suppose to read? I've been thinking lately about the people in my life . Or even the people who were once in my life but aren't before . Not to get super serious and leave people running away but have you ever felt wished you could redo something? Or wish things have never happened the way they did. That's what I seem to find myself doing nowadays. I hope that this new school year will fly by . I know everyone says they miss school once they are gone but I'm just ready to get my diploma. I'm kinda hoping that I'll be able to travel someday . I find myself getting sick of seeing corn fields and flat land. I don't know what I'm really even talking about or how long this is . Maybe I just have cabin fever . My mom saw a kitten in our yard today. I didn't believe her until I saw it . I wanted to catch the kitten so I got food and it eventually came to me. It started walking away and I panicked. I grabbed the kitten and it hissed at me. I screamed and let it go. I don't think it will ever come back to me. I wanted to catch it before my evil cat dexter got to it. Maybe I'll be able to catch it tomorrow .  I say I a lot in these blogs. But they are suppose to be about yourself right? Well I go to go .Bye!

Ninth Blog Post of The Summer - Dezarea Jones

Hey Guys! How is everyone’s summer? My summer has been pretty basic so far. All I’ve done is play on my Xbox with my sisters, summer assignment, spend time with Trevis, occasionally go to my neighbors, play games on my phone, Netflix, and lay around the house. Sounds pretty boring, right? Yeah, I know I should get a life. Oh, I’ll be back I have to go eat. Alright guys I’m back! So this is my ninth blog post so that means I only have 2 more! I’ll be happy to finish all the blogs, but I will miss reading everyone’s blog posts. I’m just gonna ramble on about different things till I get to 350 words. It is so easy to get distracted when you listen to music and try to do these blog post. I’m trying to think of things to talk about or tell you about what I’ve recently been doing. Instead I’m singing It Will Rain by Bruno Mars in my head. Well that song is over, maybe I can concentrate now. I have 176 words that means I am halfway done with this blog post! The game I play the most with my sisters is Call Of Duty 1 and 2. Well they have decided that we should play the zombie one instead of people. Bri who is 13 is actually pretty good. Bri and I have a system going when we play zombies. On the other hand playing with 2 ten year olds.. Emma and Haleigh like to play the zombie one but they don’t even last 2 minutes before they have to be revived. It’s honestly pretty funny when we play because of their reactions to the zombies. I now have 285 words so I’m almost done with this blog. Yeah, I know this blog post is pretty crappy compared to the ones I usually write, but oh well! Oh, I finished Gossip Girl a couple of days ago. I’m not gonna give away the ending, but you’d never believe who it is! I was completely shocked, but I should have seen it coming. There were clues throughout the whole TV series, but I didn’t pay close enough attention. Okay guys, this post is now over 350 words. I think I’m going to end it here! See ya later guys! Have a good summer!

Eighth Blog Post Of The Summer - Dezarea Jones

Hey Guys! Thank you all for praying for my second family during this tragic time! The prayers are greatly appreciated! There was a beautiful service held for Marlon, Trevis’s grandpa, on July 8th. I was proud of how strong Mendy was. I couldn’t have been as strong as she was! July 9th we went to Nettleton Cemetery and had a beautiful funeral for him. While we were at Marlon’s funeral his daughters Wendy, Mendy, and Cendy sang a song. I haven’t ever heard them sing and together they sound so good! July 10th, my family and Trevis’s family all went to Lake Charles for the day. We cooked out and just spent the day having fun. Bri, Trevis, and I would swim out to where we could barely touch and dig holes. It was always fun walking then you just fall into a hole. I got out of the water because I was waterlogged. I hate being waterlogged. When I decided to get back in Dakota wanted me to play with him in the water. He doesn’t like to go out in the water past his chest. I played with Dakota for awhile before I got splashed by Trevis. Of course that only started a war. He couldn’t get away with splashing me. We splashed each other till I decided to swim away from him. I tried to get away from him, but he just followed me. I finally gave up and just started to float. About 10 minutes later we all had to get out so we could eat hot dogs that Steve made. I really don’t eat around his family (I have no idea why) so I just ate some chips. Lately, I just haven’t had much of an appetite. If I don’t eat Steve gets onto me until I eat. It wasn’t Steve or Mendy that asked about what I ate this time, it was Dakota. He told me I should eat something other than chips. Let me remind you that Dakota is 6 years old. He is one of the sweetest little kids I’ve ever met. He has grown to be attached to me when I’m around. It gets on Trevis’s nerves, but I don’t mind him being around. Basically, we had a day away to have some fun. I think that everyone just needed a day to get away and have some fun. Anyway, this is now over 350 words so I think I’ll end this post. See ya soon! Have a good summer!

Fifth Blog of the Summer - Tatum Tornkvist

Yet again, nothing really interesting has happened the past week. I've been relaxing and planning on fishing with Misty though. Fishing is one of the most relaxing things in my opinion. I can't hunt since I don't know how. Plus I'd rather not shoot a gun. but I can fish. It's pretty enlightening since it helps me focus on everything and nature.  It's fun too since it requires patience and you gotta try to reel in the fish to catch it. Last time I went, turtles kept eating my bait. Speaking of turtles, I got a pen for my tortoise so she can stay outside all day. It's not really a turtle pen, it's actually a rabbit pen. Pretty funny place to keep a turtle in. But it's something for her to stay in with protection and sunlight. She'll also grow! I hope she gets larger over time. I realize schools getting closer and closer. I'm halfway done with my journaled bullet points, and almost done with my blog and comments. I don't even know what to wear! Gosh, there's so much to worry about. The comic con days are among me and schools slowly creeping in. I feel like summers are getting much shorter now, which is a bummer since I get to be stressed again. Yay. Hopefully this year will be good since Mom and Dad seem to tell me all the time that I better enjoy these two years while they last. Well, they even wish they were still in highschool! How weird is that? Though I'm excited to see my friends again and hear their summer stories. Maybe they're interesting or even fun to listen to. I always like listening to other people's stories since, I don't do a lot during the summer besides eat, sleep, hangout online, game, or cosplay. Besides that, that's about it. It's sort of sad to think though, but in reality it's super hot and there actually isn't much to do. Plus we spent all our money on the con so that's why we haven't vacationed. I'm really excited to go to San Antonio. Not only do I get to see a really, really big city but I also get to see and hangout with a friend! Which is awesome! Anyways, I hope everything's going great for ya'll. - Tatum T.

It's currently 11:02 pm. I wasn't going to do my blog today . I had to wake up at 6:30 this morning
To get ready for a bridal shower . Spending my day at a bridal shower in Missouri filled with people I don't know wasn't really fun. As soon as I got food in my stomach I went to sleep. I don't know what to talk about . I'm kinda getting sick of social media . All it ever has been is drama . That doesn't mean I'm going to delete any of it but you know. I wish I could be done with this summer assignment already but at least I'm not the only one not done . I bet you guys wish you could be done too. You don't realize how bad a sun burn effects your life until you try to sleep on it . This is the worst I have felt in a while. Klorissa keeps calling me a baby. Maybe it's just tough love but It's definitely not nice . I'll just have to remember it next time she complains about something. Have y'all gone on any trips ?   I wish I could go to the beach with tons of sunscreen! I think the first Friday back at school my mom is taking us to the lake . I don't know why she would make it the first week of school to fake a miny vacation but I guess it's better than nothing . It's almost August and that stresses me out. I'm worried about my classes and seeing people . It's not like I haven't seen any of these people before it's just so different with last years seniors being gone. Hopefully I'll get a job soon . I don't want to have to take turns driving with my brother. Everything has been stressing me out lately . I think its just college and future grades stressing me out . I got told your junior year is suppose to be your hardest . That's not really something you should say to someone going into their junior year . I'm not sure how long this blog is today. I don't think I'm going to do a comment because I'm exhausted. Already slacking Haha. I will  just do 2 tomorrow and catch myself back up. Bye!

blog 9 Bailey Jo

Hey you guys, I just made the biggest mistake of my summer. I promised the to Lord I wouldn’t make this mistake but I did it. I feel so guilty right now it’s not even funny. So if you’re reading this and would like to talk feel free to text me. I really need someone to talk to.   Don’t assume the worst because what I did wasn’t even bad. It just an old habit of mine. Hold on I’ll be back. I gotta go to the store. I’m home now. I got subway. Moms not home and it’s just me and Cayci here. Mom thinks I always have boys over but honestly I’m too lazy to get out of my own bed. I didn’t want to die of starvation so i got up to eat. Dang i have the worst headache of my life right now. Probably because of what I did earlier. Nah guys I’m just kidding. It wasn’t even bad! But still. I promised the Lord I wouldn’t and I still did. Okay moms on her way back with T bird. T bird is my step dad. He’s awful. If you want to adopt me go ahead. I’m not stopping you. I would rather have my drug addict, 1-3rd degree battery, butthole of a biological dad than him. He makes me wanna punch him in the face sometimes. One time I did because he’s a mean drunk and he was yelling at my mom so I punched him in the face. I got in trouble. He didn’t. I was like what??? Oh well though. He had a knot on his head for the longest time. GO ME! One time I slapped him in the face because he told me I sucked ay sports when he can barely hit a softball into the outfield. How did I get on the topic of Tbird? I don’t even know. Is this enough words. I’m going to say it is. Oh well if it’s not.

Hey guys . I almost forgot to blog today! I'm starting to feel like these blogs are sort of a stress reliever. It's 8:46. Way past the time I usually start on these blogs. I'm on the verge of falling
Asleep. But I can't yet because I have to finish my blog of the day. Last night Klorissa, Mallory and I were going to ride around . Since mallory doesn't have wifi we stopped at the library ( don't tell the  librarians think it makes them mad). As I was pulling out of the library my car died. I was worried ,
I definitely wasn't going to call my mom . You see my curfew is at 9:00 and she specifically said " no riding around ".  Well I check the time and it's 9:20! Talk about bad luck . I decided to call my brother . I wasn't sure if he'd help me but it was better than being stranded or having to tell my mom. He actually managed to come help me. He had to tell a little white lie or two but he learned from me , the best . Well we eventually got the stupid car to start and I'm off'! Excited and ready to go back to Mallory's. We  barely  get a block away from the library and it dies again . I sure was frustrated and I bet my brother was too considering I had to call him again . We get the car going and he drives it back to Mallory's while I follow behind him with jos truck. It didn't die on him THANK GOD. Us girls just decided to stay in because that car Drama was enough for one night . We stayed up till four in the morning which was also a big mistake . I was just full of bad ideas yesterday. I had to take klorissa home and guess what? MY CAR IS DEAD! I finally decided to call my mom. She sure was mad at me haha. I didn't tell her about the night before which was bad of I don't want her mad at me ( that rhymed). She came to help from Jonesboro. Talk about a nice woman. We got home and Klorissa decided to stay at my house for a while . We went swimming before the weather got awful . I look like a lobster . That's what I get for staying outside for almost 5 hours with only tanning lotion on! I'm sure  this  is past 350 words so I'm going to go.bye!

blog 8 Bailey Jo

It’s 6:52 on a friday and i’m currently watching this weird clown movie. My step sister Cayci wanted to watch so of course me being the nice one said yes. So this man called to schedule a clown for his little boys birthday party and there were none available. The dad found an old clown suit and put it on to put on a show for the kids birthday party. After the party he couldn’t get the suit off. He ripped his nose completely off because he was forcing the red nose off. He ran away from home because he didn’t want to hurt his son or his wife but he ended up at some camp site and ate a kids finger off. After that he got a gun and shot him self and came back to life!!! Then he went to an apartment and some little kid came knocking on his door. like come one kid. be smart. Don’t go knocking on some random people’s doors. Well the dad ate the kid complexity and the wife came and found him. She licked him in there basement and now he’s trying to eat his some. The son is smart though and not going near him. That’s how far along I am in the movie. it’s kind of weird to me. Oh my gosh. My dog is under my covers and started panting real loud. That just scared the crap out of me. You guys should be proud of me. Ever since church camp i have only cussed like 10 times. It’s been 2 weeks. I haven’t done anything bad either. I haven’t.....well start naming off things and i haven’t done it. Thats how much of a good kid I am now. I’m going to stay this way too. On my next blog i’m going to talk about my love life so stay tuned.

Hey guys . I bet you thought I forgot about blogging today but I didn't . It's 5:40. I'm currently sitting in Klorissa's house. She's arguing with her mom but what's new .  We're heading over to Mallory's . Update it's 7:04. We tried to go to Mallory's but she wasn't answering her phone. She doesn't have any wifi. Which is frustrating because we're spending the night with her later and I'm almost out of data. We came back to Klorissa's  just to pass the time . Her sister got her tonsils taken out and she won't drink anything. She's dehydrated. Hopefully she doesn't die. She won't listen and drink according to klorissa anyway. Her step nana wants us to come eat BBQ. I'm not a big fan of BBQ or big parties. It's not that I have social anxiety I just don't like talking to people that much. Maybe that's social anxiety I'm not sure. We're watching something of Carson Smiths , all I know is that her feet hurt . These blogs still haven't gotten any better. But I like to see what people post and if anyone comments on my stuff. You'd think it'd be easy talking about basically nothing but your day. But it really isn't. Klorissa's mom just spilt something all over the floor. I'll keep you updated . It was her sonic ice how  tragic. Oh I forgot to mention Klorissa cussed infront of my mom today . Klorissa lied to her mom and said she just said hell. But she definitely didn't say hell. That's like not even a sin compared to what she actually said . She said " who the F do you think you are". I wouldn't actually spell the F word on here because I'm not a sinner. I think I have add. I keep changing what I'm talking about . Can you guys tell if I have add or not? I also realize in my last blogs I have several typos . My grammar isn't the best either. I think I have around 320 words . It's not like you guys care but I put that anyway. It helps me get to 350. Oops I just told my secret , but it's not like you guys don't do it either . Do y'all think Ms.long gets on here and reads our stuff or she's just waiting to see who didn't do it on the first day back. I'm kinda worried about AP English. I'm obviously not the best at essays and that's what the whole year is basically going to be about . I'm sure you guys can tell I'm not the best by my blogs. Well I'm way over 350 by now so see you later .

I think I should tell everyone about my near death experience in Dallas, Texas this summer. It all started when me, Brittney Sain, Lotti Hoffman, and Coach all headed towards Dallas. At about 12 am Coach needed to stop and get some gas. We all went inside to use the bathroom so coach was all by him self. Wr got back outside and he was in the car so we assumed he was done pumping gas. We start to head off when we hear a big “SHHHHH”. Turns out he left the hose in the car!!! I never laughed so hard in my life. He didn’t break it but we all jumped up. We thought it was going to explode! Now once we got into Dallas we played two games. After those we went to go find something to eat. We get losses because who knows their way around a big city anyways. He goes to make a u-turn and all of the sudden we’re going though a WRONG WAY ROAD! We start yelling and screaming and coach is saying calmly “chill out, i got this.” CARS KEEP HONKING AND USING BAD FINGERS TOWARD US!F Finally he finds a way out and we all peed our pants I swear. So this was my near death experience this summer. I actually have a lot of them but this was the funniest. I never told mom what happened because she would probably never let me ride with him again. Is this long enough? I’m going to say it is. I still haven’t figured out a way to comment. Someone is going to have to show me. What book are we supposed to read again? What do we do when we read like 2 chapters or something?  Peace.

I just got done reading Cara’a post so I’m going to tell you all about my day today. I woke up at seven this morning just so I could go take the stupid accuplacer. Turns out I passed one and didn’t pass the other. I’m going next week to take it again. Once that was over with I went to post workouts at the gym. I got there and once practice started coach Hoffman says “we’re going to run 5 laps 4 times so it’ll be a mile.” The whole time while running I was thinking “Bailey, all you gotta do is fake an injury and you don’t have to run.” I soon realized I need to get back in shape so I didn’t complain. Once the last 5 came along I was swamped. Im pretty sure I was about to have an asthma attack. Practice wasn’t even that hard. That’s just how bad out of shape I am. After practice I took a four hour nap. Hallelujah. I woke up and realized I haven’t ate all day so I basically forced my self to eat pineapples then i soon remembered I might get heartburn. I got so sick to my stomach because heartburn is the worst. I didn’t eat until like seven. All I ate was a chicken strip and some strawberries. I haven’t been hungry lately. It’s kind of weird because Im usually eating icecream all day. Did I mention I love icecream. Back to the story. I went to the park around eight and hit some softballs with my sister Hannah and her baby daddy Jarred. I almost hit Max ,hannah’s baby, with a softball. I never felt so bad in my life. All he did was laugh though so it’s okay. Now Im chilling in an ice bath because i’m sore. I have played basketball everyday since last Friday and I still have practice tomorrow. This actually isn’t that bad by the way.

Hey guys once again. I don't have anything to talk about so I guess I'm going to ramble on about my day.  It's 1:08 and I am laying in bed . I got up earlier but I needed to come get my phone from my room . I decided to just stay and my room for a while . I don't really like doing these blogs if I'm being honest. Did I say that In my earlier blogs ? I don't remember. I finally got the surgical glue off my hand because I'm not a wimp. It's healing now. I hope I don't have a scar. Does anyone even read my junk or just ignore it? I think klorissa and I are going to look for jobs later. I need a real job so hopefully I get one soon. I don't really know where to apply for a job. It seems like every single Job I have applied to just doesn't want me . I feel like it's because I don't have any job experience except for babysitting. Cotton picker Kevin is at my house . He is swimming with my brother. My nephew is also at my house . We have recently discovered his love for bananas and his feet . He's been trying to talk all day , it's just comes out as something like " goo goo gah gah" or whatever . My mom is making me go to the dollar store . She likes to coupon and it's annoying.at least we have tons of washing powders so our clothes can stay fresh and clean . I only have 258 words . That's frustrating. My Dad had to fire his cousin from work today . But don't feel bad for my cousin . He did something very stupid . What have all have you guys been doing this summer? Has anyone gotten them a job or put they struggling as much as me? Does anyone have any jobs that they know of looking for help?  I now have 323worfs . This blog kinda feels a school day just dragging by. I'm typing this at the dollar store parking lot if you wanted to know . I'm pretty sure I ran over my brothers basketball . I guess I'll find out when I get home . I didn't  see his basketball. Well enough talking I'm at 374 words . See you tomorrow blogger.

This post is going to be a little more on the serious side. Have you ever wanted to quit something you have always loved? Well that’s the way I feel. I have loved this thing ever since I was in the first grade watching my sister do it. I wanted to be just like her. I started this thing in the second grade and I am currently still doing it now. I hate it. It’s not fun. It used to be fun and all of my friends loved it. I no longer have good friends because of it now. We all drifted apart due to the competitiveness of this hobby. I maybe have one person I talk to and they don’t even know I feel this way because they are too close to the situation. I want to quit but my heart won’t let me. I literally feel depressed everytime I do this hobby and when it’s over I pray to the Lord for ending it. All I wan to do is go to college, find a loving guy, and start a family and a career. It’s hard to when this hobby takes away all social interactions you have. The only people I talk to about this is my boyfriend and my friend from Arkansas Sting. They don’t even unfderstajd how I feel. I guess it’s hard to explain it all. Okay I’m done being all sappy and depressing. I’m just talking gibberish right now so it looks like I wrote more. Peace out!

2nd blog Cara Williams

So it's currently 10:06. My Mormon didn't start off good . I got woken up by the door bell ringing non stop. I thought it could have either been a murderer or the termite man . I jumped up and ran to the door . I was pretty angry  to find out that it was just my dad who had locked himself out of the house .  I then walked outside to my mom yelling  at my window to let my dad in ( which I had already done). I went back to bed but I couldn't fall back to sleep. My mom then called me 30 minutes later to tell me that I need to clean because the termite man was on his way . I got up to tidy up the house to notice that my wound on my hand was leaking. Yes leaking . My mom put surgical glue on it ( even though I told her I wanted that to be my last option). And the cut seemed to leak through the surgical glue . That sound pretty gross and it looks gross . I would show you a picture but it might not sit well with your stomach. I sent a picture to my mom and she had the audacity to tell me I had to peel the glue off . There was no way I could do that, but she said it was either I do that myself or I go to the doctor . I'm not big on doctors especially when I'm pretty sure I also have a sinus infection. Maybe I'm dying I don't know . Klorissa told me I was being a baby about the cut on my hand . I'm pretty sure that if she had the cut on her hand she'd probably over react too . I don't know how long this is. It always frustrates me if someone uses things like " idk" or " brb" in blogs like this . I just don't get it . I know I'm probably not using proper punctuation but at least I'll spell out my words . I got on google docs to see how many words I have left . It said I had about 337 words so far . Shameless is getting pretty good . I think lip and the orange haired brother are fighting. I don't know his name . I'm not good with names but I can remember birthdays good . I now have 390 words . That's pretty cool I guess . Until tomorrow dudes .

Griffin Anderson American hero: By Jacob Adams

As the new school year approaches I am reminded more and more that Griffin  Anderson will not be in our English class. After Countless nights of crying myself to sleep I decided to tell the story of the boy that made bald beautiful. We can all agree that Griffin is the best person that we know, and that we should be thankful that he graced us with presence. I personally am a better person for having known him. Knowing the Griffster as well as I do I know he made his decision with the well being of others in mind. He simply could not be in this class because he knew there were other young minds that needed his leadership and wisdom. If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye you don't have a heart, heck I'm crying just writing this. I know it will be tough for Ms. Long not having her favorite student in her favorite class, however she will get over it in time.

The many amazing stories of Griffin have become the stuff of legend and will be passed down through the generations. It has often been said that Griffin's frown can light up a room, and that his two cents is worth no less than a dollar. Across America it is widely known that he cured snow blindness in cats, and invented the wheel. Before sliced bread there was Griffin. I was a firm believer in the elusive sasquatch until Griffin informed me he didn't exist because he had killed that dirty creature with his trusty lawnmower blade. I couldn't believe my eyes when he showed me the boots he made out of his fur. Speaking of lawnmowers Griff is what you would call a mower whisperer. Give him five minutes with your mower and he can have it running better than when it rolled off the lot. Since I'm only required to write 350 words I'll stop after these words of encouragement. when your having a bad day remember your not as good as Griffin.     

blog 3 Baely Joh

This is my third blog and I already have no clue what to talk about. Oh yeah I play for this new AAU basketball team. We’re called the Arkansas Sting. My coach is from Beebe. So far we have only got second in almost all of our tournaments. Lotti is also on my team. We went to Dallas this summer to play. We didn’t do too good but the experience was great! The very first tournament I went to we got second place. I love this team. They make me feel like I have a family. I wish our school team was this way. We fight constantly. Back to AAU. I absolutely love everyone on this team. They always pick you up. We have this girl and her name is Jelly so we gave everyone else nicknames. We have peanut butter (she’s brown. Yes it’s funny), knife, spoon, plate, sour period (this is me only because I wanted to be the period at the end of a sentence but I also wanted to be sour cream and onion chips so we combined them), and there’s probably more but I can’t remember. Everyone on the team already knows all of my secrets. Scary right? Pretty much everyone in the school already knows too because I have had so many things rumored about me it’s not even funny. In a few weeks is my lash tournement with them this summer and I’m going to be really upset. It’s in conway. it’s a national tournament which means College coaches will be there. Everyone Pray for me as I will probably mess up like usual and ruin my chances at college ball. :) peace out.

blog 4 Baileyyyyyyy Jooooo

I for real have no clue what to talk about now. My name is Bailey Jo Fisher but if you call me by my last name I will cut you. The reason is because my dad chose drugs over me so I choose to omit his last name from birth certificate. It’s almost finalized and I couldn’t be any happier. I’m 16 years young and my birthday is January 24th of 2001. I’m like 100 pounds. I’m just kidding. Who tells people their weight anyways. Hit me up if you wanna date me. Ill love to change my last name to yours. ;). Okay enough with the nonsense. I can tell my medicine is wearing off because I can tell I’m getting more pissed than usual. Can I say pissed? Or is it a bad word? Too late I already said it. I get ticked at like everything everyone does. I can here my mother chew with her mouth closed and it sets me off to the point I leave the dinner table and eat in my room. Does that tick anyone else off? I especially gets ticked when my step dad is in my presence. He don’t have to do anything and I’ll get ticked. It’s not like he doesn’t anything anyway.

Tenth Blog of the Summer--Klorissa Hamilton

This Blog is going to be a little different than all of my other blogs because this time I know what I'm going to be blogging about. It's not going to be fifteen hundred different sibjects. I am going to make this blog be about my best friend. Her name is Cara Beth Williams. She is sixteen years of age and has a status of single. She likes to be rude and drink Chinese teas, with round bounce circles in it. I just want her to know that she is lucky to have me as a best friend, and there's no other who would put up with the attitude she gives off on an hourly basis. Due to cara Beth Williams being my best friend, I just want all you fellows to know that she is my best friend and it's a mistake to hurt her. However, if you can't put up with her attitude, then I truly understand. It's hard for me to put up wth it. Heck, when she comes to my house all she does is give off attitude. However, she did help me deep clean my room the other day, so why am I complaining? Yeah, I don't know either. I thought this blog was going to be easy because it's about my best friend, but it's actually a lot harder than most of you would think. I just want you all to know that my best friend is a copier. I started watching shameless, so she has to too. That's okay thought because if you've ever saw any of it, you'd know that it's totally worth watching. Oh yeah, back to the topic of my best friend. I'm at her house today and while she's blogging about who knows what I'm watching her adorable nephew. I would say she's a slacker at baby sitting, but I don't mind watching him. I would just like to give her praise for actually cleaning her room. Like actually cleaning it all the way this time. Praise her for making her floor be visible, and all her clothes being hung up and put where they belong. It's not an everyday thing that her floor is visible. I once felt like entering a black hole when I stepped into her room. Lol. Don't tell her I'm cracking jokes about her room. Haha. But I thank her for introducing me to bubble teas, and listening to me complain, and gossiping with me, and being thee when no ones else was. Like I say in almost of my other blogs, I think this is three hundred and fifty words, so I'm gonna call this a done deal. Toodles. :-)

1st post Cara Williams

So this is my first post . I guess it's standard to talk about how my summer is going in at least one of these blogs. So why don't I make it my first one? This summer has been kinda boring , I haven't went on any trips and I haven't done anything exciting. Everyone is either going to the beach, church camp, or joining in on some type of sport. What I've done is babysit some rotten kids that seem to get hungry every hour, babysit my nephew , and go to nurse camp . It's been fun babysitting my nephew except for Constantly getting thrown up on, pooped on, and kicked. The other kids I've had to babysit  are frustrating and lets just say I don't get paid enough for what I do. Oh nurse camp was fun. I got to learn how to make  an arm cast, stop bleeding, put in stitches etc . I forgot what all I did but if you want to know peep my Instagram @Cara_beth__. I even got the most enthusiastic award while I was there. Which I'm not really sure how considering as soon as they called my name my face turned as red as a tomato and I got  super embarrassed. Are we allowed to talk like this in our blogs? It kinda feels like I'm writing in a journal except I'm actually typing and people can read this without my permission.  My parents have been cool this summer. They put a new liner and salt water in our pool. They have also let me drive around and hang out with people as I please . I do have a curfew but it's not like I go anywhere anyway. I'm kinda rambling on but two days ago I had to do yard work and I wasn't happy about it . I had to move this heavy metal thing with my brother and I don't know if he dropped it or I did but I smashed my hand . I now have a cut on my hand and the only thing I'm upset about is now my hand is ugly. Well I have nothing else to talk about. See you later folks.

Ninth Blog of the Summer--Klorissa Hamilton

Hey guys, I'm back. How sick of me are you? Not very? Well, that's good. I'm about sick of myself to be honest. Lol. The last three months of summer I told myself over and over again that I would get a job and save money and blah blah blah, and yet here I am sitting at my house with no job and no money. I'm kinda bummed about it because I really wanted a job, due to my love for money being a lot, but oh whale🐳!!! <<< haha. See what I did there? Instead of saying " oh well" I said "oh whale" like the animal. Haha. I'm funny; I crack myself up. Okay, time to get back on topic. I think I'm going to go job hunting Wednesday or Thursday; if anyone wants to go with my, feel free to do so. I'd love for someone to go with me. I don't really like being in Jonesboro by myself, however, I'll have to her over it sooner or later because I'm not going to always be able to drag someone to Jonesboro with me. It's just a scary place. There's always a place getting robbed, or people getting shot, or drugs deals, and all that nonsense scares me. I don't know. Probably because I'm just a big baby, but oh well. I told my self I didn't want to work at a restaurant because I'll smell greasy, and dealing with food all day doesn't sound like fun. However, I don't wanna work at a gas station because i don't wanna get robbed and get shot. Nonetheless, I assume I'm going to have to work at a restaurant because I'm only 16 and my choices are limited. Very limited. I just want money, and in order for me to get money I need a job. Okay, changing subjects, I guess. I assume today is going to be simularnto yesterday; sitting at home with nothing to do, but stare at the tv. I'm not complaining thought because I'm almost finished with shameless and it's bittersweet because I wish the seasons were endless, but I'm so ready to see how it ends, and start a new show. But like I said in a previous blog, I don't know what to start, so if any of you guys know of any good shows, then comment and let me know, or text me and let me know. But I feel like this blog is three hindered and fifty words, so I'm going to end it. I hope you guys have a great day. Toodles. :-)

blog 2 Bailey Fisher :$

This is already my second post today. I’m going to talk about how basketball changed my life for the better and for the worst. I started playing in the second grade and I could tell that it was going to come a little easy to me at first. I play on the 4th grade team and started. I played all of elementary then eventually I got to high school. Coach Womack used to scare me! He was my first coach who wasn’t my family member or someone really close to me! He ended up making me love basketball even more than I already did. My seventh grade year I played up on Jr High and started as a post. Yes. I said post. My eight grade year was great! We won District! We beat a butt hurt team who already beat us twice. They had shirts made out saying 38-0 but little did they know they’re 37-1 now. My ninth grade year was okay. We got a new coach. No comment on that. We were the youngest team in State. We got runner up in regionals and made it to the second round in state. In regionals i had an ingury and if you were there you would know i was limping pretty badly. Turns out I have Plantars Fasciitis. It basically feels like I have a charlie horse every time I take a step. It hurts worse than spraining an ankle! The doctor told me two weeks ago that i may have to have surgery in a few years. Ill be out a full year. I’m doing everything i can now to prevent this from happening. Basketball used to be the love of my life, but now i hate it. It’s no longer fun. Sometimes i want to quit but I don’t want to let my teammates down. It’s whatever though. This year is going to be great!

blog 1 Bailey Fisher :P

It’s, yeah I don’t even know the date because it’s summer. I do know the time though. It is 1:08 in the morning because who goes to bed before two in the summer anyways? I haven’t really had a good summer so far. Everywhere I go I see something that reminds me of the past and I get distracted by whatever I was doing before. Oh yeah, I went to church camp. It was great! We talked about forgiveness and learning to love yourself.Well, that’s what I got out of it. I already love myself (I think I’m prettier than all of you). I gave God all of my emotional baggage again this year at camp and I feel 50 pounds lighter! Still having a hard time forgiving though. You got to forgive and forget! That’s the most important thing you can learn! Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. (I bet your singing Hannah’s Montana). Someone tell me what all we have to do for summer assignment again. I already forgot. Is this long enough? I’m going to say it is. Bye.

Eighth Blog of the Summer--Klorissa Hamilton

It's currently 11:54, and my body had no intentions of getting sleep tonight, so I thought, "hey, what better way to spend a sleepless night other than getting one step closer to being done with a summer assignment." I couldn't come up with a better reason, as you can tell by reading this. I've posted two blogs today, and currently working on my third for the day. It's been a very boring day, if you can't tell from how many blogs I've written and what the last blog was about. I guess I'm just going to carry on about my life and give you guys another careless Blog to read. I have all these life wishes, and goals and I want nothing more than for them to come true. However, I don't see how any of them can be accomplished when I have days like today where it's so boring and the most I do is turn the volume up on my tv. But, I guess my wish of graduation with as many college hours as possible if kind of being chased, considering on day like today I work on my summer assignment. Heck, I don't know. I just want to be successful and prove to my family that I can be somebody and will be somebody. Prove to them that I'm not like the crazy nut jobs who have no jobs and complain about how bad their life is because they chose to make nothing out of it. I also have a goal of becoming a better person and being more kind, but that's really hard when people intentionally tick me off and push my buttons 24/7. Howvwe, I have to say that I have gotten better. Well, to some degree. Not to mention the goal I have of drinking water all the time, and cutting out the sodas. That goal is being accomplished as much most of you are completing your summer assignment at this moment. Yeah, Um not very well. I mean come on. It's hard when restaurant have these super cool soda machines where you can choose from many different flavors, or when your family drinks mouth watering coke right in front of your face, or when all your family being on the boat trip is a cooler filled with sodas and beer. No guys I did not drink any of the beer; I drank the soda. That's what I'm getting at. I'm going to try my best to accomplish my life goals, but as you can tell some are going to be harder than others. Anyways, who ever reads this, I hope all of your life goals are accomplished and all your wishes come true. Toodles :-)

Seventh Blog of the Summer--Klorissa Hamilton

I'm back once again, and not sure what to blog about, once again. What a surprise, right? Haha. No. I guess I'll just ramble about what all I've done today. Well guys, I woke up this morning around ten o'clock, and came in the living room and watched Netflix. I bet you can't guess what I watched. ;-) that's right, shameless. Haha. Anyway, after watching an episode of shameless I went into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of fruit loops. I have to say, that bowl of fruit loops was pretty dang good. Moving On with my day, I watched another episode while I stuffed my face with fruit loops. Then I decided that it was nap time, since I didn't get much rest last night. So, I laid down on the couch, realized how freezing cold it was in my house, and got my happy self up and went and got me a blanket. Then I made me a nice warm spot on the couch, where I took an amazing nap. I woke up around 1:30, and realized no one in my house was up either, but hey, I wasn't complaining. I got up, went outside to feed the chickens and the five or six pigs we have. (I'm not really sure how many. I think it's five, but who is counting) oh, and I fed the duck, if that counts. After that, I came inside and unthawed some chicken breast. While the chicken breast we're unthawing, I put shameless back on and watched it. After an episode, the chicken was unthawed, so put it on a pan and stuck it in the oven. About that time the rest of my siblings who are here with me woke up from their dead sleep. They instantly asked what I was cooking, thinking I was cooking for them. Smh. What were they actually thinking? Me cook for them? Haha. But, me being the nice human that I am, I told them I was cooking for them and I did. Along with chicken breast I made mac and cheese and mashed potatoes at their request. I may have accident almost caught my kitchen of fire in the process, but that part doesn't matter. All that matters is I got the food done, and into our stomachs, and the kitchen is still standing. I didn't burn it down. Thank God. Anyway, after that I watched some more of shameless, typed a blog, and then took a mini nap. I am now typing a basic blog of how my day has went and what I'll I've done throughout the day. I hope you guys enjoy this lame blog about my day, and hope you guys don't have as boring of a day like I had today. Toodles. :-)

Sixth Blog of the Summer-- Klorissa Hamilton

We all have that one animal that we despise the most, and mine just so happens to be mice. They are so disgusting creatures. They can carry diseases and are just plane out creepy. Let's get to the main point in wanting to get at. Okay, so, one lovely evening while sitting at my house on the couch with my sister, my brothers girl friend, and my best friend, my sister yelled mouse. Of course we all instantly jumped up and screamed. I asked her where she saw such thing and she informed me that it had ran under the couch. We all jumped up on the couch in fear that the mouse would ran out from under the couch. I decided that that nasty creature was no welcome in my home, and didn't need to be alive running around in my home. I went and got the closest "weapon" I could find, and that seemed as if it would do the job: a broom. They all laughed at me and told me that couldn't kill a mouse if that was the last thing to do on the face of this earth. My little sister informed that when I went to hit the mouse with broom, that the mouse could slip through the spaces. I laughed and asked if she had a better idea. She suggested that I get the mop and use that, so I did just that. I blocked off the area where the Mitch and living room join with the kitchen table chairs in fear that the mouse would get away and run into the kitchen. After blocking that off, I gave the broom to my friend, and kept the mope to myself and raises up the first section of the couch hoping to see the mouse and kill it. It wasn't under there. So, we lifted up the middle section to the couch, and it wasn't under there. With high hopes, we lifted up the last piece to the couch, and that stupid thing wasn't under there. So we just sat there for a moment hoping to see or hear it. Then, all of the sudden, my brother girl friend yells and says she has seen the mouse and it ran to the middle section of the couch. So, instead of lifting the sections of the couch one by one, we lifted all theee of them up, so we could see it if it ran. But it wasn't there. Needless to say, we gave up looking for that thing after searching and screaming for about a half hour. We put the couches back down, unblocked the kitchen from the living room, and put the broom and mop back where they belong. We loved the rest of the night as if none of that happened, and then, toughly three hours later, my sister screams and informs us she had saw the mouse run under the first part of the cough. Needless to say, the mouse is still alive, which it shouldn't be, and we did not succeed. Obviously.

Next Blog of the summer - Tatum Tornkvist

Nothing too much actually has happened this week. So far I've been working on Wednesdays and Thursdays as usual. I also have been gaming quite a bit the past week on a game called Overwatch. Sometimes I get bored though just sitting there, I've been meaning to try and go outside. So far that hasn't been going well because not only do I not want to go out because of the heat. But I also don't want to go because there's really nothing to do. The fourth was sort of fun. I spent the day on the computer as usual. Mom and Dad were gone for the day doing their own thing, so I stayed home with the dogs and gamed. Today I've been feeling a little sick to my stomach. Maybe I should stop eating Burger King for a while again. In honesty- I really don't know what else there is to say. But I'm just typing things that have been interesting this week. Oh and ya'll may be wondering about the game. Overwatch is basically a team based game, you go on different servers against a team made of players. If you capture points, or even hold out your point when time runs out. You and your team wins. I'm trying to get up to level 25 so I can start the competitive campaign. If I do that, basically I play with other players but with my ranks on the line. Lets say I'm diamond for example. If I'm a diamond rank (Diamond is one of the highest ranks) and my team wins, I'll get more points. But let's say the team is built more on defensive and the players choose not to benefit the team. If the team and I lose. Our points get lost and it can bring our ranks down. Meaning I could go from a rank Diamond down to a gold or bronze. It's pretty extreme and intense in honesty but I've been getting used to it so hopefully I'll get in on the campaigns before the season ends. After all it's all about having fun right? Anyways, I hope everyone's having a good summer haha. - Tatum Tornkvist

Fifth Blog of the Summer-- Klorissa Hamilton

Hey guys, I'm back once again. I figured I would blog today, and get one step closer to being done with this summer assignment. I guess I'm just gonna free talk on this blog because I'm not sure what to talk about, but what's new? Haha. I just wanna start off by expressing my love for Netflix. Without Netflix, my summer would be complete crap. Well bad, maybe not complete crap, considering I did go to the beach. Anyway, I started shameless at the beginning of the summer, and there are 7 seasons.  Let's just say I'm on season six, about to be on season seven. A couple days again, I watch one and a hall seasons of Shameless, and it was the best day of my life. It was a constant day of Netflix, and it made my heart so happy. When I wake up, I watch Netflix, when I lay down to sleep, I watch Netflix.     When I get bored, I watch Netflix. It seems as though Netflix if the answer to everything. After I finish shameless, I plan on starting bates motel, unless I find something else that catches my attention. Heck, I don't know. All I know is I love me some Netflix. I guess there is a down side to Netflix. It mkes people lazy, or it does me at least. For instance, I am watching Netflix right now, and tying this. I've been trying to type this blog for the past thirty minutes. All my attention is going to my show, and maybe that's why nothing ever gets completed. Lol. Oh well. I'm still typing aren't I. Haha. Switching subjects now... I have been home along this weekend and it was the best thing that has possibly happened to me in weeks. I was able to sit, sleep, and even eat in peace and quite. No babies crying, no fussing, no fighting, and no arguing. What's a blessing it was. I'm sure some of you can relate. But only relate because none of you have one million sibling like I do. Well, I take that back. I wasn't completely home alone, madalyn was here with me. However, there was still peace and quiet for the most part. I'm not sure how many words this is, so I'm just going to keep rambling on like usual. I'm not usually the type that likes to cook, but with it just being me and madalyn, I don't really have much of a choice. I either cook or starve to death because the good lord knows madalyn can't cook, much less she isn't going to. So I cooked, and cleaned while she sat on her butt. What's new thought? Haha. Oh my!!! I really wish there was a way to tell how many words I have typed all ready. Yeah, I'm not about to count every single word I've typed, so I guess I'm just going to estimate. Anyway, I hope you guys are having a fantastic summer. Toodles. :-)

As school is slowly creeping on us, I've been thinking about how I want my jr. year to go. This is a really important year to me. I want to be on top of everything school wise. I want my grades to be as good as they can be, so I can be ready when my senior year gets here. How I do in school has always been important to be because it will reflect how the rest of my career will go. When I get done with high school I plan to go to college at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. I want to be a registered nurse and work somewhere near here. I've thought about going to ASU only because i would be close to my mom, and she would be slot of help when I'm in nursing school, but I'd much rather move off. U of A is my second choice, because the campus is beautiful and I've always been a razorback fan. When I'm out of college I hope to get married and have 2-3 kids. I'll probably live here because I want to be close to my parents so they can help with my kids. I hope my kids enjoy sports and the lake as much as I do. I think about my last two years and high school, and sometimes I wish I could just fast forward to when I have my life completed figured out.... if that ever happens. I can't wait till I'm in my own house with my little family, have the job that I've always wanted, and be able to look back on days like today. Before I know it I'll be graduation high school with tons of responsibilities  and feel totally different. You can see I have a big expectations when it comes to my future, and how it's turns out depends on right now. You never realize what little things can have such a big result.  I'm dreading school coming up, but I'm ready to get my last few years of high school out of the way.
