Day 13

Instead of working on my script, today I enjoyed myself. I got home, relaxed, and then went to my odyssey of the minds meeting and pretty much joked around and goofed off the entire time. I felt much better, and I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard. Laughing and joking are key parts to being a better person, and being a better person will make you happier. If this hadn't have happend, I probably would've had a boring weekend, and just sat around and did nothing. I am reconeting with old friends even more, which was one of my earlier goals, because I am with them for 3 hours one night a week. I also see them in school more often, and I am laughing and joking more.

Day 12

Today, I got to work on finishing up my script. I finished the story completly now, and I am going back and making changes on it. This is a good thing, because I started the script in mid summer. I always liked to make movies, but most of them were short and made up on the spot. I wanted to create a script for a movie, and then get it made. I feel better mentally, because I have accomplished something today. I even got an approval from some of my friends, they read it, and said they thought that it was good. It was tough to come up with the idea for it, and even writing it out. Once school started, it got even harder, because I just couldn't find the will to write it.

Days 11, 12, and 13

Ok, my goal for the last 5 days is to get to work on my movie script. It is my first one, and I am self taught (more of just write down stuff not in detail). I have a few videos up on youtube, but they are not scripted and they are just bad. I had trouble on pretty much all of them with sounds. The script I'm working on, I hope, that I can get some people to help, and maybe burn it onto a dvd so I don't have to watch it on a little computer screen. Basic storyline is that, Obama really screws up the economy, so he does not get re-elected. However, guerilla groups of democrates, think that is wrong, and begin to rebel against the Republicans, who now pretty much run the government. They dominate the playing field and keep the republicans guessing. The main charecters are: General Shepard, Captain Mcullister, and Seargent Johns. The rough draft is already finished, I'm just trying to go through, make minor changes, then get if typed up to hopefully start making it.

Day 10

Ok, on friday, my goal was to go have fun, and support Dixie at the football game more than I do because I knew it was going to be a tough game. I was planning on having a happy time with all my friends, and that completly flopped. I got there and everyone was standing in the student section. 1st, I couldn't get a seat close to anybody. When I finally did, they went to go to the concession stands, and they were gone for a while. By now it was already halfway into the 2nd quarter. When they got back, it was intense. I was cheering, rather loudly I admit, when one of Lindsey's friends says "Jeeze Liam, shut up!" I knew she was being sarcastic, but she said it in an angry tone, and it still hurt my feelings. I was doing ok, just not cheering and participating, when Lindsey asked me what was wrong. I told her what had happened, and I started to cry. No, I didn't flat out bawl, I just got all teary eyed, and my nose started to sniffle, and my throat got clogged. I was really embarrassed because we were standing in the front row, and it seemed that all the cheerleaders were staring at me. Well, Lindsey noticed, and talked to her friends about it. They apoligized, but I still felt hurt on the inside. Today, I showed one of my weaknesses in public. I feel that it can make me stronger now, because I can now overcome it easier, and hopefully, it will just never happen again. I felt better afterwards, but I'm not sure what all my friends think. Oh well, I'll just learn to deal with it.

Day 9

Today, I finished up my story, and it is quite interesting. I will bring it into school tommarow to show you Mrs. Ring. I incorperated all the words from this week and last week, because those are the ones I am having trouble with remembering. After writing the story, I can remember the words better, and feel better about the test tommarow. In writing though, I didn't put hints next to the words like you did on that one test. I am hoping to look over the story later tonight and hopefully I can give the definitions of the words as I'm reading it. I did try to use those words in conversation, but I kept confusing my family. They didn't listen (mainly my brother) when I tried to explain what they ment, so I gave up on that idea. I feel alot better about the quiz tommarow, and I will definitaly get a good breakfast, because I am going to the VPAM breakfast.

Day 8

Yesterday, my goal was to test out the ways that the internet said I should study, and hope for an improvement. However, I didn't get to do to much because of parent teacher confrences, and an odyssey of the minds meeting right after parent teacher confrences. I did however get started on my story using the vocab words, and already feel that it is helping me to remember them. It is only a few sentences long, and my goal for tommarow is to finish up the story, and hopefully remember all the words.

Day 7

2 Days ago, my goal was to figure out ways to study vocab, that would be easy for my learning style. I found that writing out the definitions, and making up stories using the words should help me best (according to the iternet). I didn't get to try it, because I looked at it late at nite right before I had to go to bed. I feel that I can do better now, and hopefully improve my grade in English class. I feel that once we get into having more homework, and doing more work, that my grade will definitaly improve, because vocab is our main grade now, and I'm not doing to well in that. But now that I've looked at ways to help me study, I hope that I can do better on the vocab tests, and not rely to much on doing the homework and class work.

Day 6

Today wasn't really a good day to do much, but I did manage to improve my social interactions with people. I talked to people more, and tried to talk to some new people. Improving myself, means improving my social skills, and since I couldn't do much today, I did this one. I felt better afterwards, because I have expanded my list of friends. I didn't do it as much, I only got like 1 new friend, but its a start. I feel that I can go to these friends with problems if my older friends that I trust better don't have solutions. Also, Lindsey keeps pressuring me to make new friends, and expand my world, so I did.

Day 5

This was supposed to be posted on friday, but because of the homecoming football game, and dance, I wasn't able to get around to it till tonight. As you may recall, my goal was to take the VARK test. Well I did take it and it said I have a multimodal learning style. I guess that that means that I can learn pretty much anyway, or that I use all/most of them to learn new things. I do know that I picked more than one answer for most of the questions, so I feel that I should be doing all of those things to help me become a better person in my studies. I found the ones where you were doing something to be most of my first choices, and I like to learn by doing things. I think that it is easier, because if you keep doing it, it just kinda becomes like a second reaction. I hope this will improve my studies.

Day 4

Today, my original goal was to take the VARK to test to help me imporve how I study. Instead, I got caught up with friends, that my goal changed. Today, I took a goal from the second week, and used it. That goal was to better myself physically by riding bikes. I felt better afterwards, and I now know that I need to excersize more, because I was a little bit short on breath. I did howeve complete another goal from the last week, and that was to hang out with my friends more often. Since school started, I've been mostly talking to people at school, and not with my original friends. My best friends, that I've known for a long time, will always be there when I need them. Yes, new friends are good, but I learned to hang on to old friends, because they are even better.

Day 3

Today, my challenge to better improve myself was to do my homework as soon as I got home from school. I found this task to be extreamly easy, considering the fact that I did not have to much homework tonight. I feel that even though I do not have alot of homework this trimester, that if I can get into the habbit of doing homework when I get home from school, I will be able to succeed later in the school year. I have also decided to keep on with the studies of my vocabulary words, for 15 minuets every nite. I am also trying to remember to take the VARK test, which is tommarows goal. I do feel that even though it has only been 2 days, I am already improving as a student, and as a person.

Day 2

Today, my goal was to study my vocab words for 15 min. I would give myself a C because I did study them, but I didn't study them for the time I would've liked. I tried to do this because, in my goal of become a better person, I have included that I want to be able to do better with my schoolwork at home. Even though I didn't get my full planned 15 minuets in, I still got in some studying which is why I gave myself a C.

Day 1

Yay, this all works. Hopefully you can see this Mrs. Ring. This seems like a fun project.
