Break and coming Back

The past few weeks I have been on a much needed break from school. During this break I had gotten a lot of things accomplished that needed to be done. These things include organizing and getting ready for the brand new semester as well as sleeping in and going on a trip to Pasadena, California to work on floats that were in the Rose bowl Parade. This had also helped my attitude towards school change also it had given me a new perspective on being a senior. Right when we got back I had gotten homework from most of my teachers. I know that it stinks, Though I think it was a needed slap in the face that would get me back into the groove of school. I have also learned that I enjoy hearing poetry from what we have been doing in my AP English class. This had also helped me through the proceeding weeks to get back into school because if we just started out reading dense texts I do not know how I would feel about that. This is my first blog of the new year and I will try to be more on top of these things. Bye readers.

scholarship essay rough draft

Scholarship essay

                Many people do not know what they are going to do or where they are going to go in the future, but I know exactly how I would like to spend my future. As a long term goal I will study to become an Emergency Department Nurse. I see myself here because I enjoy medicine and saving people’s lives. To achieve this ultimate goal I will start small as a senior I am working towards getting my EMT Basic certification which I can then use to work at the local ambulance company, REMSA, or work as a patient transporter in RENOWN. After I begin working I am planning on going to the University of Nevada Reno, UNR. This is where I will further my education to becoming a Registered Nurse. The Nursing program at UNR is very well built for my goals. After working at either of these jobs I will try to network with the higher up people in these jobs which will better my career as I get further down that path. As a minor in College I will choose education. This is because if I ever lose my job I need a backup plan I have always found teachers to be fun and loving towards their students so I think that would be a very nice way to spend my time as well.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly is the book we are now reading in English class. This book thus far is pretty good. My favorite part is sun Victor, the stranger is on the ice cap all by himself and the people on the ship are yelling at him to come aboard so that he does not die in the attic on an ice cap. This part of the book bus far is my favorite because of how Shelly portrays everything that is going on with just a couple of letters. I know that the book is in the epistolary format which is writing with a set of letters news articles and journals. Since this is my first time ever reading an epistolary I find it very interesting to think in a new way to read this book. I also liked this part because I found it funny that there would be some guy on an ice cap floating around near the North Pole just chilling and as calm as can be. This part also set up the first chapter of the book because it is a flash back of Victor's early days, and that is what I think of Frankenstein thus far.

November blues

The November blues are not the best things in the world, but most people get them. I have not yet gotten a mental break down or any real down for that matter, but I have had my own sort of November blues that really have been bad for me. I have bee extremely forgetful which has been very bad for what I have left undone. I have forgotten many things throughout November which has been mostly homework or things that need to been done for school such as these blogs. I have been caught up all until the begining of November which I had forgotten to write a lot of. When I had looked the other day I had thought I had only needed three more blogs to be done the. I looked and I actually only had four of the ten that are supposed to be done. Then there was the incident with the yawning during my reciting of the Shakespearean soliloquy from hamlet. I am just glad that that is over and most likely not honing to happen again. I don't even know why I had yawned. I just wish that December is going to be better than November was.

Epistolary

The whole idea of an epistolary piece of writing is kind of cool. Having many letters or news articles or journal entries making up a novel or story. This had all came up because we have been discussing Frankenstein in my AP English literature class this had also been the type of book we at about to read as a class. This book is going to be Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. My friend thinks after reading a thousand leagues under the sea he knows what all epistolary ex are going to be like. In my head this is wrong because not all books that are written similar give off the same vibe as the book before it. With this I think that this book is going to be an amazing read. I have heard a lot of good things about this book and how the author, Mary Shelly, uses these letters in a great way. Although my sister's friend has ruined the whole book for me I think that I will enjoy it because it is a new way of writing that I haven't encountered thus far in my reading career. I also think that even though my friend said he wouldn't like this book he will turn around and like it by the end.

The year

Throughout the year of school many different things have happened so far and many different people have changed. This change has been both good and bad in some ways. Some of these people are better for the ways they changed thought some are words than what they started or they are just worse. I think that this might have at first been their own decision to change and become different then it transformed into someone else had been changing them to act a certain way or to thing another way. These people are the worst in my mind because the transform to the people around them. As an example someone might be hanging out with a set of friends for a while then all of a sudden they start acting like them, but then some freak accident happens and these people are no longer friends, and after a week they have changed again. These types of people just jump around from group to group or person to person changing. When should all this change end and when should some one finally stop changing just to become themselves. When some one does get out of this I think they become better for it. They set a better example and they chose the right decision to finally get their own person rather than being a sheep being led to slaughter.

The trip

I had been gone most of last week in a city named Elko. I know what some people are thinking, “what the heck is Elko,” I agree with that statement I had no clue where or how many people were in Elko. After we had left I realized that Elko is the place to be if you need to pre-order or buy things on black Friday this is because there are so little people in the city of Elko that everything is still there or not off of sale. One of the chaperons that went on the trip had gotten a PS 4 and was one of the first ones in line, and she didn't even place a pre-order or anything. Back to the trip though, I had a lot of fun on the Skills trip I hung out with some pretty cool people and I also danced a bunch. One of the songs that I danced to was a song named Gas Pedal and when the chorus of the song came on I went to the wall and twerked upside down on the wall. It was really fun and the teachers just shook their heads and laughed at that.
