What Now?

Now that Mr. Good is going to be gone, what now? Are we going to post on blogs? Is The Ego coming back? Whatever happens now I know that it has been a GOOD quarter. (Get it? Because Mr. GOOD... Never mind.) This quarter was fun and I never had a teacher like Mr. Good.

Even though we are going to have a new teacher I will still enjoy this class just as much. This class was great and it was relaxing. We came in and to start off we did a fast write which helped get our mind off of other things. Fast Writes helped me focus and definitely get my writing style a boost up on the reputation scale. Through all that I'm sure having Mr. Dwyre will be a blast and he will be a great teacher.

What I hope to happen for the rest of the year is the system not changing. I like the blogs and I like the point system. The blogs in a way made this class come together, it's a way where we can share with our peers without even being there. I like reading the blog posts and I love when people read mine.

So here comes the question again, what now? What do you expect? A great rest of the year? Yes. The blogs staying? Yes. Your peers changing? We lost one but gained a new one... Change is always GOOD.

Fan Fiction Gamer- I really liked this blogs "What I learned" and "What Now?" posts. They made sense to me but weren't too long. I also liked the colors and how the background didn't move but the blogs moved when you scrolled the page.

Thuy- I definitely liked this blogs colors and background. The blog post were great and they had really relevant pictures that were funny.

Matts Blog- The "Now What" post was excellent because he really seems like he meant what he meant. I liked the colors and how the blog is basic, sometimes the most basic things are some of the best. Over all this blog was outstanding.

"Get off my lawn!"

In our creative writing class we tried something different. We started a story with one sentence and passed it to the next person. They wrote one sentence and then they passed i to the next person and so on. When I got mine back this is how it went...

The old man with the bushy mustache raises his cane up high in the air. His temper rises upon the small children who fell beneath him. The old man, dressed untidy, coughs loud and clear to get everyones attention. Somehow, no one realized he was crazy and running around naked. The children were all in shock of the sight. The old man then began to dance to "It's raining men". And then they stopped dancing. The children, so full of fear, grew horns and bat wings. They started to overwhelm the bushy freak. The man had not seen that he accidentally stepped on a button that opened up the gates of hell. Oooh nooo! How terrifying... Meanwhile in Britain: Parliament blows up and they had a big party! Inside the party, James Bond was talking with the bartender saying how cheap the wine is. The bartender made a dry reply, since it meant he wasn't getting any tips.

Wrote word from word. Seriously.

Just in Case

Just in case the worry-heavy world
Should cast a final backward glance
To whimper at what might of been

Before the horror of trumpets
Blown by indifferent angels
Burns and hails  and turns to blood
The bone breath of form
And I am not this
And you are not that
And for a moment, briefly
We all weep the same tears
And forget the too-many names of God
And all the bitter, biting ways
We clip the wings of eachothers prayers;
Just  in case
I dont see you tomarrow
My friend, my friend,
I'll see you again
Where we shall be healed.
I'll see you again.

Your Eyes Will be Satisfied- I thought this blog was really cool first of all. The background is a lot more flashy than some of the other blogs, but thats what made it stand out. I like the posts. All the ones I read were  nice, fresh, and pretty funny. The pictures made me laugh!

Blogger907- In this blog the posts were really nice. I like the color contrast and the background is pretty cool. Thats what made me stay on the page. The posts had really good wording and they took time on their posts.

NATE YO!- I liked the theme of this blog and the background picture was sweet.  The posts were definitely interesting and I liked the word choice and writing style.

Remember

Remember the times that you could barely remember. The times you weren't even talking nor walking. Remember the worries you didn't have or the laughs you can recall. Its hard to remember when your brain wasn't fully developed.

Remember the things you don't want to remember, all the bad times that have made you stronger. Think of them as those mistakes you learn from. Some of them might not have been mistakes, what happens then?

Really in all reality the things that we remember are who we are. With all the good things and the bad things, the emotions we have had are the ones that have shaped us; the emotions and memories are the hands that sculpted who we are.
