MAKe-Up WORK!

So... back to the conversation about school.. and homework. After missing a week of school, I finally just got ALL OF MY HOMEWORK DONE!!!!! and it feels GREAT!!!!! It just seems like it takes a ton of extra time to get stuff done when your not at school. Or sometimes it is the exact opposite of that. Sometimes I feel like it is pointless to sit and class and do the same exact thing that you would have to do at home. Especially when it will be just be like 10 times easier just to take the work home.

Anyways- while I was gone, I had like a ton of homework! Imagine that huh?! Just kidding.... But it just felt like I had 2 weeks worth of work, rather than just a week. It even made me realize how advanced my classes are. Afterall, they are all college credit classes! I guess I just didnt realize it before.

Busy Busy BEE!!!

Wow what a day this has been at school. After being gone for like a week for a vacation- I realized that missing school is fun while your gone, but totally sucks when you have to go back and have a weaks worth of make-up work. It always seems like it is more of a hastle to do more homework then it is to sit in class all day and just do it as it goes. Afterall everybody hates homework right?! I DO!!!!! Iv gotta get back to doing some of that make-up homework! blah...

So afterI posted my last blog about "school" I started to think even more. I started to think about how much smarter exchange students are then us. Like really- they are the ones who should be struggling a little bit more than the American students.They don't even speak English as their 1st language, so you think it would be hard for them(especially in english class) but it isn't. I just dont get it.


Math is a different story though. The Chinese Exchange student told me how math in every country is about the same. Especially when you compare China and America. He also told me how easy the english language is and how easy it is to catch on. Plus, they have their little computer things that sit on their desk that translates everything for them ( I think that is unfair). I also learned that America recieves the most exchange students compared to the other countries. It is almost like the countries just generate the students and they all come to America. I guess that just shows us how America is viewed compared to the other parts of the world:)

School. S.C.H.O.O.L- a word put together with letters, that just totally dont make sense to me. Like why is school called school? who named it anyways... I was just bored so I sat here and analyzed it. Like why would you name it school? Can't it be called like Learning Expresses- or Your Future. Gees... I really don;t know what you would call it, but why school? hehe :)
So I kept thinking about "school" and started wondering what people in other countries call it. Do they call it "school" just in their own language, or do they have a completely other name for it. I sure don't know. Maybe i will just ask some of our foreign exchange students.

Writing...Not in General!

Since my theme is about school, and good grades I think I should be allowed to talk about writing... Especially since writing is such a big deal in school as well as the world and your everyday life. I mean can you really say you hate writing? No. Not until you narrow the word writing down. If you just simply say, "I hate writing, no matter what it is" is that really possible? Do you really hate reading then too? Because when I think of writing I think of penmenship and the notes kids write in class, the notes my mom leaves me, or even the grafity on trains. So personally-WRITING is such a BIG WORD in my dictionary.

So now its time to narrow that word down! When your sitting in an English class and all of a sudden you hear someone say "I hate writing" you can relate to it because you know what they are talking about. You know that they are talking about all of those hard, forcing assignments when the only reason you know they did it is because they had to write it to get the grade. Everyone that has gone through school can relate to this. Even if you are one of those that say "I love writing, no matter what it is!" But really, there is always some form or something you dont like to write about. Its not a bad thing at all- it is just part of your personality. And this is exactly what Im getting to... People love to write when they can express their feelings. And yes I know this sounds cheesy. But for example: When your assigned an essay about sports. And your a sports fanatic- your going to enjoy writing the paper. (AM I making any sense?! heh) another example: is ME! If I can sit down and write this blog and express how I feel, I will write all day everyday. Because it is soooo... nice being able to say what I need to say and write what I want to write. In other words: I LOVE THIS ASSIGNMENT! so thanks! :)

And I can give advice about writing too.... because i am that typical student who always, "I hate writing" and the only reason i write is because I have to for school. and in all honesty- sometimes i dont even do the assignment because I make myself write. But when I can write about something I enjoy, I LOVE IT!

MY GOAL

When choosing a topic to blog about, the first thing that came to mind was school. As my parents just finished preaching to me about my grades and work ethic I found myself thinking that I need to get it together as I was somewhat distgusted by the "rear-end chewing" discussion I just recieved. Even more, I sickened at the thought that I was failing. Failing at Education. When failing in education you are also failing at life in my point of view. Education is your future and my future is leading up to the beginning of life- on my own. So basically...
I am becoming a failure. In life as well as my education. My RESOLUTION:
working hard, and getting good grades. MY GOAL: getting straight A's :)

Anyways...back to my topic. Over the next few weeks i am going to blog and talk about what effort I have put forth, the advantages and complications, all the frustrating time consuming homework and everything else i'll face while reaching my goal. aka STRAIGHT A's!!!
( doesn't that sound good? ;) hehe.....

well...thats it for now! wish me luck and good grades!!
