One Direction Infection

         About three weeks ago the most wonderful thing happened! I became a directioner, oh my gosh I'm obssed. They are the these five guys that all tried out for the X factor individually but didn't make it own there own so one of the judges decided to put them togther. Even though they lost the X factor they were still signed and have there own album. Louis is the oldest in the group and likes to prank the boys, Zayn is the quiet and mistryious one, Harry is the flirt and has curly locks, Liam has a birth mark on his neck and starts off all the songs. And last but not least is Niall.

      Niall is the one that I'm most obssesed with. He has blonde hair that he's dyied since he was fourteen. He is Irish so he has an irish accent and it's the cutest thing in the world! Niall finds everything funny and absolutly amazing, he's always laughing even though it may not be funny...hhaha. He loves eating food espeshally Nando's, which is a fast food restront. Niall loves garaiffes.....not really sure why, Niall is also very akward mabey thats why he likes garaifes.

Over the Weekend

     Over the weekend I hung out with my two closest friends, Anna Lee and Logan. We met up at Mia Padres, to eat mexiacn food because I was craving gracomolie. Then we walked down to the crosswalk right by prowe and waited till it was our turn to cross, we were standing there forever. Then we reliezed that we had been pressing the wrong button. So after we finally got across we headed over to mcdonalds and each got a mcflurry. Then we walked over to prowe and ate it right outside the red mango.

      Then we went inside barnes adn noble and looked around, then we went to different stores trying on clothes. After that, Logans mom picked all of us up and we went to Logans house to sleep over, we talked about one direction, justin bieber and more. Then we decieded to go to sleep and I called sleeping on "the egg" it's this really big, comfortable chair that Logan has. Anna Lee tried to convince me that we could both fit....but we couldn't. So we promised her that the next time she could sleep in "the egg" haha!

More French Books!!

        This week in our French class we had to read another french book. The book that I picked out was by the same auther as the last book that I read was last time. The name of the book was called "Animaux du Monde" which translates to 'Animals of the World'. That author must really like animals because she likes making books about them. In this book she talked about the parts of the world where certin monkeys live, how much they weigh and what they eat.

     She also talked about sharks (my favorite!) she talked about the different types of sharks and where they live. She also mentioned what some of them ate and and how big they where going to grow up to be. I liked reading this book because it made me read slowly and think about what the words ment and what they mean if put together. Hopefully we will have more of these assingments!

French Book

    Each week we get a bunch of assinments in our French class that we must complete, this week it was to read a French book. The book that I picked out is called "Plus Grand, Plus Vite, Plus Fort" by Steve Jenkins. The title of the book means 'too big, too fast, too strong". The book is about a chettah and all his animal friends. 

       In the book there is a whale, a mouse, a jellyfish, a spider, an eel, a snail, a snake, and a turtle. On each page there is a different animal and there is a long discription about that animal. Such as how much it weighs, how big it it, where it lives, what it eats. This a difficult task to do however I liked it because it was like decoding stuff!

The Vow

         Over the weekend I did multiple things, all of which were fun. On friday night I went to the basketball game, it was crazy! The girls one with 3 seconds left, we were all going crazy! And the boys one with 5 points I think....anyway after the game was just as much fun I had teo people sleep over and we were up most of the night.

         Then on saturday Logan, Anna Lee, Mary Micheal, Isabell, Mallory Baldwin and I all met up to have lunch at La Madalines and then we went to the movies and saw The Vow. It was good but I thought it would be better, I guess I set my standards up too high for it. However I thought that the ending would have been better, it was kind of a disapontment.

This weekend

       Last weekend I went to the movies with my two friends, Anna lee and Logan. We saw a movie called "The Women in Black" it was a horror movie, which was not the best idea for the three of us. The theatre was PACKED we had to sit on the 3rd row at the bottom so things were REALLY in our face whenever stuff poped out! I sat by this girl that was hilarous, she kept making the funniest comments while Anna Lee was laughing because she was so scared.

           The movie was about a mother who sent her child to live with her sister and the sister killed the child. The mother got mad and commited suicide, and starts haunting the old house. She gets mad at everyone and everything, she possess children into killing themself so she can get her revenge on the town. I was extreamly desterbed by this movie. I think the next movie we go see is going to be Big Miracle....which is about whales.

Nervous Conditions

         In class we are reading a book called Nervous Conditions, the author is Tsitsi Dangarembga. At first I was extreamly confussed because reading this book is almost like a code that you have to decode to understand. The book starts off by the main character saying that she is not sorry for her brother's death. This of course caught my eye because I had never herd of such a thing, naturally I was courouis so I kept reading.
 
       While I was reading I had to keep the sheet that Dr. D gave us in order to find out who she was talking about. I found out that her brother Nhamo was killed in 1968 and she was only 13 years old. She also goes on by saying how she was always jelous of her brother because he got to go to school because he was the oldest and the boy, while she just had to sit at home. I wonder how her brother did die, since they live in an unsafe area mabey he was murdered.

     I have also been woking on my Global Issues project, going to nootletooles every night and making sure that I have what I need. I have been practicing preparing my qoutes and putting them into the correct format. I split my time up into 30 minutes every night which really helped me.
