Story #18

"Get in the passenger seat"
I responded "ok".
"First you have to adjust your mirrors and your seat."
I thought to myself "wrong", then I said "No first you have to put your seat belt on."
My dad turned around and asked "you think you know more than I do?"
I laughed and said "No, you just don't know how to follow rules and asked him are you gonna pay the ticket?" and put my seat belt on.

Story #17

Waking up completely sore to pouring rain and then to top it off looking at your clock and seeing 7:02, you just want to stay in bed. Then you roll over and strangely think about another meeting with your principal yelling at your class telling them how horrible their attendance is, so you get up and go.

Today

Today I am going out to breakfast for my dad's birthday, even though his birthday was actually last Tuesday.  I am sitting here waiting for my mom to get out of the bathroom so I can get a shower. She is taking sooo long.

Later on, I am going to have band practice with Fawn and Freda.  It's be too long!  Then, I have work from 5pm-9pm.  I hope it's not stressful.

School tomorrow is going to suck.  Once again, I am going to be exhausted!

I Hope It's a Nice Day

I have work today. I hope it's nice. I hope everybody working there is really happy and nice. I hope the people coming to eat are really happy and nice too. I just want the day to go by fast and smoothly. I hope I won't be stressed today. I think it's going to be busy though because it's so nice out today.

Sister Chat

Deja: Hey sis how was ya day?

Dymond: It was okay, I got some lemonades for us to share.

Deja: Ooh lemme get some!

Dymond: I wanted you to hear this song by some Boo, I mean Bo Burnham. He has this song I heard it over Rozzie's house...

Deja: Oh so is he like white?

Dymond: Yea but he has this song she let me listen to and it is so funny. He just be clownin so many people. He was talkin about this one girl and he was like "He did a girl named Macy all day and it turned out she was dyslexic so he wound up doing the YMCA.

Deja: Yup

Dymond: Oh my gosh! you dont get it. YMCA is Macy but she can't read.

Deja: Haha I get it. That is a little funny

Dymond: A little? That is clever and hilarious!

Deja: Right.

Time

Something I just noticed: The timestamps for these posts aren't the actual time. They're off by what looks like five minutes. It is the same as 'SLA time.' I heard that 'SLA time' is on purpose, to make it look like less kids show up late for school. I bet whoever decided to do that to time doesn't realize they're probably doing more hurt than help. If high school students get used to always being a little late and nothing happening, what will they do in the real world? After all is said and done, who cares if you're five minutes late to school? Let that teach you not to be late for things that could be more important. Right?

baaabysitting.

I'm inside babysitting on a Saturday night.
Watching Big Time Rush; sad thing is, I actually like one of their songs.

&Patchy the Pirate is on the movie I'm watching.

I want to learn a new song on guitar, but I don't know what to learn. I'm going to go to bed now, goodnight.

Sun Drop

Today I went to work at Acme from 12pm-7pm.  It's been a long time since I have worked on a Saturday.  I used to work Saturday nights but they switched my schedule around so I have not been working them in a while.  Anyway, when I got to work today, I was told that Canada Dry was doing a promotion for their new soda, "Sun Drop", and that I would be in charge of giving away hundreds of free 2-liter bottles to customers.  I also received a free t-shirt to wear while giving out the soda.

Four hours went by and half of the supply was gone.  By the end of the night, I had reached the quota and gave away all of the sodas.  My boss was pleased.  Funny thing is, I still have not tried the soda.

La Rutina De...

What did you learn from doing this project? (skills, life lessons, words etc)
I never took the time to notice all things that I did everyday of my life. I guess it was because of this video that actually noticed that I have a routine and even though it's not very efficient, it's the life I live today. It made re-acknowledge the things I go through and be grateful that I have it easy compared to others that are less fortunate in this world.

How do you feel about your final product?
I'm not saying I love it - because I didn't get to include everything I wanted to, but it still works because it manages to capture my daily life.

If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same?
I'd probably add more music or audio. I feel as though I could do more in some places. But, then again, I can't say that I am not pleased with what I have now.

Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
Definitely. I like that I got to incorporate Spanish into my everyday life by describing what I do. It was fun to record and pick the parts that I wanted to put in. But, overall, it was one of the most fun I have had to doing benchmark, if I am not mistaken.


Last Friday Night

Last night I stayed at my cousin, Kristine's, house. We played 500 Rummy, labeled people in a magazine after celebrities they looked like and ate. Then we went out with Mike and hung out with Mike and Paul, who we caught up with at the park, for like an hour and it was actually kind of fun. Then when we went back home we hid in her room, which is when my night got amazing!!!! (Hehe) I was lying there and my Kristine was on the phone with her boyfriend. We had her iPod hooked up to an iHome that lit up in different colors in a rhythm that was only slightly off beat of the songs that I was semi-dancing too. I lifted my blue blanket covered in clouds, stars and crescent moons and put it over my head. And then I laughed hysterically and talked about how "freaking amazing" it was that the blanket was changing color and the different pieces light up in greens and neon blue-greens. And then Kristine ducked under with me and we watched the blanket change from a night sky to the daytime in an alternate universe. It was pretty freaking amazing.

With my Grandma

A simple conversation

though, with you it is so much more

drawing circles with our words

jumping through hoops just to understand their meaning


You've spent years watching me grow

yet my simplest accomplishments still astound you

An A? Yes!

Applied to college? Wonderful!


I remember when..., you tell me

and we laugh together

though I don't remember the events you recall

and know I never will


It's a funny thing talking to your grandma

the clash of different times and places

the internet user and one who's never read an email

our differences are immense, large and seemingly impassable


But we overcome them.

We always have. 

la rutina

What did you learn from doing this project? (skills, life lessons, words etc)
what i learned from this project was how to talk about my daily routine and how to conjugate the word and also a few new words that we do not usually use in class.

How do you feel about your final product?
I feel that the project could have been better, my routine is explained to the best of my ability and the project is the best i could get it though.

If you could do your project all over agai
n, what would you do differently/the same?
Next time i would add more of my routine and go deeper into each one and use different videos to show what im doing. 

Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
I think i would of enjoyed it a little more if it was working with other people and talking bout what we do the same or something like that. i just liek working as group better.

Jennifer Rutina-Diaria

​In this project i learned how to use my daily routine and put it in spanish. my final project was pretty short but its my morning routine before i leave for sla. If i could do this project over i would do my project on my daily weekend day. I did not really like this project because I hate recording videos for school projects.


Incident Z (Chapter3sec2)2.25.11))

“I’m worried about him”

            “I think we are all worried about him” 

            “But he is my brother” Jacob looked up at Jen “iv been a bad older brother, iv been immature and mean” Jen frowned and shook her head in disagreement

            “No, you care about him, maybe you don’t show it, but that’s just how siblings work.” She took his hand “that’s why you never wanted to tell anyone about us, you knew he had feelings for me, and you don’t want to put that on him”  Jacob looked up, he had tears in his eyes “itle be ok”

            “its been two days almost three, he needs to eat”

            “I know, we tried but he wont eat…look for now you need to be our leader, and eventually your brother will snap out of this”

            “I can’t be my brother, im not meant to lead”

            it was two days later and Justin still sat in the dark room.  No one visited him since Chris went in there, and Chris himself was being very quite. Dan and Eve really wanted to see their brother, but Chris told everyone to let him be. No one questioned why.  Jane tried her best to make Chris feel better, but Chris seemed to be in his own world most of the time, although he was not completely shut down like Justin.  John and ted continued practicing parkour in the open parts of the store, everyone knew that they used parkour like a drug. They said that the flow and the movement was more then good exercise and getting better at running away, it was a way of life, it helped get your mind of things. They were parkour high.

            Rob was being quite too but he was never a really loud individual in the first place. He spent most of his time sleeping, and looking around in the parts of the store that no one went to. Julia tried to hang out with Dan and Eve but they were not as interested as they usually were.  

            No one was the same as they usually were, Jen and Jane were the only ones that seemed unaffected. When Jen was not with Jacob and when Jane was not trying to make everyone else feel better they would have their girl talk.  They both had their secrets they kept from the group. No one knew about Jen and Jacob except Jane, and no one knew that Jane was falling for Chris. 

            They talked for a long while about things they should do. Jen wanted to tell Just about how she was going out with his brother, and Jane really wanted to tell Chris how she felt.  

            “just tell him, that’s what I did with Jacob”

            “I don’t know…” Jane looked down. It was now the third day since smitty went into his dark room.  Things were quite

            “ARM YOURSELFs!” came a loud voice, everyone recognized it as robs, who does not talk much but when he does, you know its him. Jane looked up and rob came around the corner with his paintball gun in hand. “there are people not zombies approaching the store!”  both girls got up and ran for their wepons. Soon everyone was gathered at the main entrance. All armed, except for Just, who was still in his dark room.

            Zombies were all around the front entrance, but some of them were turning around to run somewhere. All of a sudden one of the zombies dropped, and then another and another. No one noticed as the zombies dropped the figure charging at the zombies from the other side until a huge buster sword came by and sliced a zombies head off. it was now played out like a show a man, with long hair goggles and what appeared to be a robotic arm came was killing zombies with a sword, and other zombies were falling out of no where.  The slaughter continued unile there were no zombies left. The man now stood in front of the main entrance. He had his massive sword by his side and was just staring in. he seemed to be waiting for something to happen.  It was a stare off
