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.

Global Project
Over the last week I've been working on this project nightly. Monday night I got another website I sited it and pharaphrased it. Tuesday night I did some more research on my project, I found out alot of facts about it, so I sited that website and paraphrased the facts. Wendsday night I looked back on all the notecards that I did and made sure that I was satisfaied with them.
Thursday night I began to work on my outline and Friday night I worked more on my thiesis and my outline. Saturday I found another website that I liked and I even got to use the information that I found out in my outline. Sunday night I woked on my outline more and looked back at all my biblyographies and notecards making sure that they fit the standards. I set out 30 mins for each night to get the things that I needed to get done. I really helped and I think I'm going to use that method again.

Cousin's wedding
On saturday my family and I travled down to New Orleans for my cousin, Lauren's wedding. We were all so exited! Thank goodness that we all brought coats becasue the wedding took place outside....COLD! But it was all worth it, Lauren arrived in a carriage and walked down the aisle with her father. Then we went inside for the reception.
There was so much food, I probley shouldnt have worn a tight dress because I ate so much. Not to mention the cake! The groom's cake was a huge gun with bullet's because he's in the millitary, but it it didn't taste that good. By the time they cut Lauren's cake I was already pretty full....but I made room for two pieces. Her cake was strawberrie, my favorite! We had fun on the dance floor and Lauren looked so pretty!

Over the Weekend
This past weekend my mother and I took our cat outside. That seems like a pretty normal task to do but for our cat (Mildred) it was anything but. We got Millie at the begining of the year, she was hanging around at my dad's office and was clearly a stray, so we decided to take her in. Since she used to spent all of her time outside catching her food and finding a place to sleep, whenever we took her in she started getting fat.
So my mother and I went out and got a harnes and leash in order to walk around outside for some exersize. Well we've walked her around outside many times before however, today we walked her without the leash. And to my suprize, she didn't run away. My mother and I were thrilled that Millie was exploring outside wothout her leash and yet still wanted to stay by our side. I guess this was signifigant to me because it proves that Millie really does love us and loves her new home!
