Since school started I have been stressed out of my mind. I have tons of homework and extra-curricular things to do and this darn thing just added to my load. I must say that as fun as it was to wrack my brain trying to single out an important event in my ever so exciting life...well it wasn't. Some of the problems with my paper: not much dialogue, very childish, I probably could have used better built sentences and also could have made the story flow better than it did. In fact the paper is probably going to make poor Professor Elliott cry and have nightmares for some weeks to come. Sorry Professor. Sooooo not looking forward to writing another paper..
Band!!
haha...its me:)

Narrative.....
Ugh...all that I have to say about this narrative is that it is stressing me out like none other. I have been wracking my brain all week to try to find sufficient words to put on the paper but nothing seems to be coming out. It seems like everyone else in 150 has just the easiest little time doing things like this but not me. No. I choose to do things the slow and stressful way. After today it will all be over though. THANK GOODNESS!!

Exerpt from "Night"
This is one of the most powerful excerpts I have ever read in my life. It is about Elie Weisel, the author, and his father and their imprisonment at Auschwitz. The mother and younger sister had died previously and the father, son, and two sisters were the only ones left. They were called out of bed and told to walk in a line to a man who would either point left or right. The father and son were both directed left and soon realized that they were going to the crematory. As they got closer and closer to the flames the father started to break down because his only son was about to be burned and he didn't know how he would be able to bear that. The son, however, had different plans. As soon as they got to the ditch, he was going to throw himself on the barbed electrical fence, a much quicker way to die. As the moment of truth presented itself, a guard pointed them to the left yet again and they were led off to another prison.... What courage these two individuals must have had in order to overcome something as tragic as this. I can't imagine how I would have ended up in life if I would have had to endure such a thing. The struggle being both the fathers and sons, makes it so much personal and makes you realize some of the things that we as people living in this great country take for granted on a day to day basis. . . Think about what you take for granted, and change it.

Abbreviated Me....
So…me in only a hundred words? Well to start off, I’m awesome. I love to shoot and swim, and I do both competitively. Things that make me happy are food, friends and music. Things that make me upset are lots of homework and ditzyness to be cute. Things that happen on a daily basis are extreme lack of sleep, excessive facebooking, texting and daydreaming. What I want to become in life, a music teacher. Something that not everyone knows is that I had a brain surgery when I was young... Anything else you want to know? Feel free to ask!
