Another blog...

Thanks for reminding me Luke!

I have to make today's blog quick because blogger is blocked on my computer and my mom wants her computer back...

I cant wait to start the workshop tomorrow with steve (i dont know how to spell his last name) I though what luke taught us on tuesday was really cool i want to see where steve wanted to go with all that. Though i am not exactly a writer or a film-maker, i really enjoy this because now when i watch a movie i can say to myself "oh thats plotpoint one" and its really cool for me to know that.

I love where the STAC t-shirts are going this year. My group came up with a pretty good one but we saw a bunch of other good ideas so its ok if we dont win as long as we have a good t-shirt :)

Goodnight bloggiepoo...i have to go cause mommy needs her computer back

WEDNSDAY

I am SOOOO glad that I had the day off today. I needed a day to relax. I can not wait until opening night of the dining room. the play is coming along PHABULOUSLY and should turn out to be really good.

on another note... i like the feeling of getting things done...my english essay is done even though its not due till monday and i like that. I dont hove to worry about it any more and i can just do things. I really feel good about this quarter. Like last night, i really do not have much to talk about right now so...goodnight bloggiepoo

...

Well, I sure am having trouble thinking about what to write about today because I am increadably tired and I just need to sleep. I am soooo excited for opening night of the Dining Room which is coming up fast. Other than that, i do not have much else to say tonight.

The New Quarter Begins!

Well, I made it through the first day of second quarter without getting in trouble. And now I can say that I'm pretty proud of myself. I love Luke's idea of thinking as the new quarter as a "rebirth". I leave all the crap from first quarter behind me and now it's time for a "DO OVER!". The activity we did today in STAC really was fun for me because it got me thinking about all of the things that I will be able to "do over" in the new quarter. I wiped all of my shit from first quarter out of my head, and started focusing on the present and working on making a better future for myself until the next time I am reborn.

DO OVER!

The first of my daily blog enteries.

Well, my second quarter in the high school starts tomorrow, and I am glad. I guess you could call my first quarter here in the HS a bit of a "disaster". I forgot assignments, blew off/procrastinated on all of my school work, and then had the balls to lie to my parents about it. Sadly for me, in this new age of technology, there is a little thing called E-mail where all my teachers can contact my parents and let them know about all of the work that I didn't do. I don't know why I have not learned my lesson yet, considering that I have been in the same situation on and off since the seventh grade; however, I keep digging myself into this hole again and again. Each time I do, the end result is always the same...I get grounded. Now, I don't like to be grounded. I'm sure that most people feel the same way, but now some of my teachers say that I need a support class like i had throughout almost all of middle school. I don't really mind being in a support class. I do not care if people think I'm special ed, but a support class requires a free period. I am a freshman STACie, so my schedule is absolutely full during the day. Now, my teachers have thought about this and came up with one simple solution...to leave STAC. When Ms. McManus brought this subject up to me my answer was just, "NO" , but my parents say that if second quarter is a repeat of first, then that will happen. That is one of the last things I want. Not only do I get in trouble, but now that I am in high school, my grades actually count for something. Even though I understand all of the meterial, I have low grades because of homework. So if I want to go to college, I better get my act together while I am still a freshmen.

With second quarter starting tomorrow, Luke suggested writing something on my blog every day for a little while to help me disiplin myself. I think this will help me because half my problem is that I dont have the self-disiplin to tell myself when its time to put down my guitar, sign off of facebook, and start my homework. This is the first of those daily enteries. I have already started my task of staying ahead on second quarter. (I actually did my english homework even though it's not due untill tuesday. Like ohhhh my gawd!) I think the biggest thing problem that I will face this quarter is my battel with procrastination. I procrastinate to the point where it's unrealistic to get the assignment done in the ammount of time that I leave myself. My guidence counceler is also putting me on weekly progress reports that will be E-mailed to my parents every week so I can't lie to get myself out of trouble and I just have to take it like a man untill I learn to do the work.

I'm optomistic about second quarter and hope that it turns out for the best.

Ideas for the magazeen

Well...because it is a winter theme, poetry about the winter (ik it sounds a little bit klishay but it can be done) also the artwork on the cover could include art of the winter, like show covered feilds and such..

Responce to the movies.

Well...that was defiantly a different experience for me. i have not done much movie making at all except for silly videos of my friends and i doing stupid things, so this was a really cool way to start out. Filming was definitely the part that was the most fun. The one major problem that our group ran into was coming up with ideas. At risk of Hurting other peoples feelings, i will not say why i think this happened, but there was a bit of a power struggle in our group as to who made the decisions and came up with ideas. No one would listen to each other and that part was just a mess; however, in the end, the film came out pretty funny. (not as good as "Understanding Hugo" of course but im a nooby. i will get there) Over all, i liked this project and now that we have done it for the first time, i think it would be better to do more and more as they get better and better.
