Friday

Yay next week is graduation but I am sad because I didn't get an invitation to the senior award ceremony but I should've gotten one because I have a 3.62 GPA and a was suppose to get a stash for MESA so I am going  to go talk to Ms.Delondi during nutrition even though some people said she wasn't going to be here because tomorrow she is getting married I hope someone is in there who can help me.

Wednesday

Exactly one week till graduation I am really excited!!! I am going to have a dinner at my house after the ceremony and then 2 weeks from now I am going to fly to Guatemala I just can't wait for school to be over!!!! Um I don't know what else to say because nothing much has happened lately. Today they gave yogurt for breakfast I hope I don't get more sick because it is cold. I am having trouble with the final for this class it is hard I don't know how to do it.

Tuesday

So after everybody being sick I got sick this weekend. On Saturday I woke up and my throat was killing me. Then towards the afternoon I started sneezing and this time it wasn't allergies. Then on Sunday I felt like I had ran the marathon or like a tractor had passed over me my body was aching and I still went to church but I was almost falling asleep and wanted to go home so the rest of the day I was on my couch sleeping. Yesterday I woke up better and today I feel the same. So I am sad because I don't think I am going to get a school scholarship today some students got chosen for an interview at school for another sponsor scholarship and I wasn't chosen I really hope I could get one. The senior award ceremony is on Monday.

Friday

WOW another week done!!! There is basically one week left till graduation! I am so excited!!!!!! Today we are having a Senior Magnet Luncheon it's going to be lots of fun but I think we are only having chips and soda for lunch. I heard they are giving out certificates but I don't know for what I just heard that it's not for everyone and that some people are going to say why didn't I get one. I am excited today is going to be a fun Friday. And then Monday we get it off because it's Memorial Day Holiday so we don't have to come to school. 

Thrusday

Well this morning it stinks in the hall. Like very bad I don't know what it is. I guess someone through a stink bomb. I wasn't here yesterday because I had to go to Cal State Northridge to pick my classes. I am taking 5 classes that are 16 units. I hope I can handle it. My route is taking the Crenshaw bus get off at Hollywood take the metro red line to North Hollywood get off at the last stop get on the Orange line get off on Reseda and take the 744 which takes me straight to the school.

Tuesday

Today I don't have much to say. Nothing much is happening anymore because we are almost done with school. Oh yea I am so happy because now I am passing calculus with a B after thinking I was going to fail now I am passing with a very good grade better than first semester. I don't really have final test well I do but they aren't test they are more like group projects. For English we have to do a very big project and the worst part is that we have to present it honestly I would've preferred to do an essay, I find that easier. For economics we are watching Wall-e and Monsters Inc. then we are going to do a poster but the whole class together. For ECS we have to do a final challenge it's a bit hard though. And I don't know if I will have a final for my fourth period.

MOnday

I am so excited we are almost graduating. The school is giving us 8 tickets for our family and friends to come to the ceremony.  I think I will have tickets left over. I know my grandmother, my dad , and my mom are coming for sure but I don't know if any of my aunts can make it. Maybe two of my cousins would like to come. I am still not sure. I am done with classes I am passing all of them I just want to raise my grade for my 4th period class.

Thursday

Today is my last AP test. My teacher told us if we wanted to go study during our second and third period but I am too lazy either way if I study I don't think I will pass this test is very hard. There is only 2 weeks of school left I am so excited because I finally have a C for math all I have to do is finish a workbook so that my make-ups will count. I am so happy to graduate I am having a party and now I just can't wait.

Wednesday

I finally got my report card today. I am happy because I still have a B for AP Macroeconomics I thought I had a C but I don't. However I am sad because I have a B for my elective class Physiology. I didn't think it was going to go down that much for not doing a couple of worksheets it was only like 2 or 3. Hopefully I can raise it to an A because I am almost running out of time. And I thought I had a D now for AP Calculus but on my report card it still says F. But in reality I am really close to a C.

Monday

I am a bit upset because the senior award ceremony got moved until June 1 and it is at 6:00 PM that is soooo late and I was happy that it was going to be next week on the 21st. Tomorrow I have another AP test it's for US Government and on Thursday I have another one for Macroeconomics. I don't think I am going to pass any of these test it is just too much information to remember and I don't really want to study so I just wasted my time this whole year in that class but oh well I am just looking forward to graduating and going to my vacation which is only a month away.

Friday

Yay today is Friday again!!! I am so sleepy and hungry today!! I didn't eat breakfast because we didn't have any milk at home and I didn't eat at school because I don't like what they are giving today. Today I am staying after school to watch an Avengers movie with my friends I hope it is fun. I also want to go to the store to buy my mom something but I only have $3 maybe I can buy her a balloon or a rose. I also have to make her a card because I haven't had time to. Yesterday I took the AP Spanish test it was really easy except for the part where we had to record ourselves most of us couldn't work the machine and we couldn't hear the recording because there was a lot of people taking the test so it was hard to see and the microphone wasn't working. Have a great weekend everyone!!!1

Wednesday

Today it feels like Tuesday. Yesterday I took the AP Calculus test at the gym it was freezing in there!!!! The test wasn't all that hard but it wasn't easy either. I am hoping to get a 3 I think I can do it. Tomorrow I am going to take the AP Spanish language test that should be a piece of cake. Today my friends are all taking the AP Literature test so I am going to be all lonely during nutrition but I think I can handle it it's just 15 minutes. I should go spend like 10 minutes in the rest room and 5 in my locker.

Monday

Here we go another week to start. My weekend was okay. On Saturday I came to help for the incoming ninth grade orientation it was fun but I had to leave at 11 even though it wasn't over yet. Then we went to visit a friend with my mom I wanted to go because she has fraternal twin grandchildren but they weren't there so I was bored. Then me and my mom went to the market and then we went home we watched a movie on netflix and were just lazy then like at 4 we cleaned the house and got ready to go to church. Then on Sunday we went to church and went to JcPenny .

Friday

Yay it's Friday!! But I don't have anything exciting to do this weekend. Next week are AP exams so I have to study. I was going to help Ms.Torres with the incoming freshman orientation but I want to spend time with my mom since my dad is working Saturdays now I don't want to leave her alone and maybe we can go to the mall since we have two coupons where you can basically get something for free at the store that is worth $10. I feel tiered today. And my mom is having some trouble with the Food Stamps we would receive and now they don't want to give any to us and we really do need them.

Thursday

Today it feels like a Wednesday I think it is because I usually have test for calculus on Wednesday but since this week we had 2 tests my teacher made the second one today. Yesterday I opened my first bank account!!!! I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I opened it at Bank of America. We waited an hour to be helped!! I was so tiered of sitting there but time went quickly although it felt a bit long. Then it took an hour for us to process my bank account. SO I was at the bank for 2 hours so when I got home I was tiered and didn't study much for my test today I really don't get this chapter so I didn't know what to do.

Wednesday

Today I don't have much today, just that time is passing by really fast and graduation and vacation is getting closer. I am looking forward to next month it will be really exciting. I have to update my blog for the robotic challenges, I had actually forgotten so I am a bit behind.

Tuesday

I am so happy!!!!! because I got a full scholarship to CSUN!!!!!!!!! I might even have like $1000 left over for me! I can't believe it my parents were really happy. Now I just have to go to my portal and click accept the scholarships then I have to make an appointment to go choose my classes. Now all I have to worry about is how to get there. So next week are the AP tests I feel a bit ready for Calculus but not for Macro Economics nor U.S. Government test, tomorrow my teacher is going to give us a test and he is actually going to grade it and put it in the grade book which is really bad because I think I have a C again and I can't have it get any lower.

Monday

So on Friday I went to CSUN I got my name changed and I don't have to take the placement tests because I am college ready. Today they posted my award letter from what I understand I didn't get a free-ride which I really hoped to get. I think I still have to pay like $3,500 which is a lot of money my parents don't have so now I feel sad. I am going to go talk with my counselor during the next period hopefully she isn't busy and can help me and hopefully i can get a scholarship now or else i am going to start applying fir more now,

Thursday

So tomorrow is Prom!!!!!! WOW time flew!!! A lot of people aren't coming tomorrow because they are going to go get their hair, nails, and make-up done for prom. I am not going to go to prom I think I kind of want to go now but at the same time I don't. But I think I am not going to come to school because I have to go to CSUN it turns out that I haven't received my award letter yet because my name on my FAFSA and on my application don't match so now I have to go in person and change my name.

Wednesday

I think these weeks are passing by quickly because I have a lot to do on my agenda so time flies and I don't get to cover everything I need to do. Today I am taking another make-up for Calculus I studied a lot since Sunday so I should be ready I hope I do good on this one that way I can finally have a C in the class. I am having trouble with the robotics challenge number 3 I don't remember how to do it and everything that I try that I think is right is always wrong I don't know what else to do. Hopefully we get it today we only have until Friday I think or tomorrow nobody has gotten it in my period but in Period 3 one person solved it really quickly I think he took robotics already.

Tuesday

So this whole time I have been waiting for CSUN to send me an award letter describing how much money I am getting from FAFSA and from scholarships and how much I will have to pay and they still haven't sent it. I believe it's because I haven't sent in my fall semester transcript which I had no idea they needed they didn't even like tell me that I was still missing it. Hopefully I won't have to pay much or else I will go to community college because I am getting lazy to bus it to CSUN everyday.

Monday

The weekend flew as always. My weekend was fun though, I went to a wedding and spent my afternoon playing Jenga with my family. I studied for my calculus test a little. There is only like 10 days and a month left till school ends. I am so excited for the summer!

FRIDAY!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!! Finally it's Friday. There's only about a month and a half let till school ends YAY!!!! SO excited for graduation and for my vacation at Guatemala. I haven't been there in like 4 years so all my cousins are all grown up and it will be lots of fun. This weekend I might go to an orientation at Northridge and a wedding if my dad doesn't go to work because my mother can't drive in the freeway and I still can't drive. I don't know how long it's going to take me to learn how to drive. I can do it but I mess up on my turns so I just gave up I think all I need it lots of practice but I don't have time for it and now we have an SUV which I really am scared to drive one because it's big and two because I don't want to mess it up but someday I will learn and buy myself a blue BMW.

Thursday

Yay this week is going by a bit fast. Yesterday I took a make-up for Calculus today is the second part I think I didn't do too well though but I am trying. I have a headache this morning. Northridge hasn't updated my portal with my Award Letter which I am really nervous and excited to see because it will determine how much my parents will have to contribute I really hope they don't have to pay anything because my dad doesn't have money to pay he doesn't even have a job currently neither does my mom. And if we do have to pay I hope I get one of the High School Scholarships that will be very exciting but I think they prefer to give the scholarships to students who are going to a better and more expensive university.

TESTS!!!!!!

I am happy I think I did good on my Macro Economics vocabulary test today. This should help me get a higher B or maybe it will stay the same like last time. All I am glad of is that I think it was pretty easy so I think I did good. Last night I also studied for my Calculus test tomorrow and I memorized all the formulas I am happy because I feel ready but then when I see the test I blank out and do dumb mistakes like in the last test I could've gotten a C I only needed 7 more points and I did a lot of dumb mistakes but oh well I just hope I can get a C or even better a B I really do need it and I would be so happy I just hope I don't fail or get a D again. 

Monday

My weekend was fun. It was my parents anniversary on Saturday so we went to eat breakfast at IHOP the food was delicious because now instead of pancakes they give french toast we ordered the strawberry french toast and the banana french toast they were really good except a bit too sweet. The bad thing is that the prices have gone up I don't know if it's because of the french toast. Then we went to a quinceanera at church it was a lot of fun there was a candy table with good chocolate and candy. My goals for the week if to pass my Calculus Test and my Macroeconomics test. 

Wednesday

Yesterday was the first day of school and it wasn't so bad. I was tired by the end of the day because I had to study for another Calculus Test. He was a bit mad at us because he said that we aren't trying hard enough and that we should start writing our letters to colleges explaining why we can't go. So my goal for today is to do good in my test, which will not be easy at all. I really am scared of failing the class but I think that if I do good in this test then I won't need to take anymore make-ups.

Thursday

So today is parent conference and I am not looking forward to it because I still have an F for Calculus. He gave us back our make-up and I got a D isn't good but at least it isn't an F again. So I should currently have a D but when he checks yesterdays test I will have an F again. And he still needs to check last weeks test. I am so scared now I feel like I am not going to pass the class now. But I am not the only one struggling almost 90% of the class if failing. I don't understand how a guy who would always fall asleep in class, would never do his homework, and would hardly try on the test ended up passing the class with a C last semester and he is doing the same thing this semester thinking he is going to get a C again. I hope my teacher somehow helps us out or else I am doomed.  

Wednesday

Sometimes I don't like to tell people that I want to be an Elementary School teacher because they say no that's not a good career. Then I start doubting myself and thinking if I should change my major but I don't know what else I could be. Is it really that bad to become a teacher now a days? Or is it just because they don't get paid much? I understand that a lot of teachers are getting fired but there always has to be teaches because there will always be children who need to learn. I think it's okay for a women to become a teacher because their husband will work and together they should have enough money to maintain the family. But I don't care what negative opinions people have to say I am going to accomplish my goal. Thank God there is people who will always support me along the way with their positive words of encouragement and I know I am not alone there is a lot of other people going into the educational field as well.

Tuesday

I am tired today!!!! I just want it to be summer vacation already!!!! So that I can go relax in Guatemala with my family who I haven't seen in like 3 years. I think I really need a break from all this stress because I am getting a weird pain in only one part of my head close to my neck. It's actually scary because of so many people getting cancer. But I know it's nothing, it's probably just stress because I don't have any other symptoms. My mom said that if it continues then she's taking my to the doctor because it's not normal for my head to hurt but I hate going to the doctor.

MoNdAy

Yay next week will be spring break. This week will be exhausting before I have a break. I have a test for Calculus on Wednesday. I have a rough draft essay due on Wednesday and final draft due Friday for English. I have a Multiple Choice Question Test of Chapters 1-8, 11, and 12 for Macroeconomics. I have a lot to study for this week I hope I have time and energy to do it and that I will do good in my test. Sometimes I study a lot and still don't pass my test specially for math. But I am confident that I will pass this time.

Friday

Yay it's Friday thank God!!!! I feel so tired this morning I wanted to sleep in. My interview went great yesterday it was actually a lot of fun talking about myself to three other people who were asking me questions. I wanted to talk more but I think I had nothing else to say although I forgot to mention something I remembered later but I think I will be fine. Now I have to wait until May 21 to hear who won the scholarships at the Award Ceremony I can't wait until that day. I basically can't wait until May because that is our last month of school and then I graduate and I can go on my vacation with my mother.

Thursday

Today I have my scholarship interview at school!!!! It was suppose to be yesterday at 3:00 but I had my Calculus test which wasn't that bad but still hoping for at least a C, because some questions were hard i left a couple blank and there was a lot of algebra to do to simplify the equations. So I rescheduled my interview to today and it is at 3:20. Some people said it only lasted 10 minutes others said 25 minutes. Hopefully I am not nervous when the time comes so that I can speak freely to them and I hope I can answer the questions they will ask me. I want to speak to them like a normal friendly conversation with my friends. I really need this scholarship but a lot of people applied so wish me good luck!!!

Wednesday

Today is the day of my test! I am scared I studied all afternoon and I was actually starting to understand the Chapter but today I feel like I forgot everything. I think I am not going to pass. There is always another chance to pass the make-ups but they are even more harder and if I don't understand the chapter now I will never understand it. This is very overwhelming. I am not even looking forward to spring break because we will have to come take make-ups.

Tueday

Today I have to study really hard all afternoon for Calculus  I am starting to understand the concept of ln a little bit better but I still have to study more!!!!!!!!!! I want to pass because I currently have an F and I am not sure if I got a better grade on the makeup last week. I am a bit excited for my interview on Thursday.

Monday

This weekend was very hot. It felt like we were in July. My goals for this week is to study hard Monday and Tuesday and be ready for my test on Wednesday. I am also having my Scholarship Interview on Thursday. It's going to be a tough week but I know I can do it. Spring break is close so we can have a break.

Wednesday

Today I don't have much to say. Nothing exciting or important has happened lately. I am just trying to raise my grades up and trying to finish all my work and start studying for my Calculus Chapter 5 test next week. I have to start studying now because it's going to take me a while to study since I had a lot of trouble with this chapter.

Tuesday

Today in first period everyone looked tiered even our teacher kept yawning which is very unusual. It's because of the time change. Now it is really dark when I wake up and I just want to keep sleeping because of that. But I like it because now it gets dark late so I can stay after school late. I still have to do my English homework during third period I am glad we are almost done reading a book only one chapter left. It's a bit boring because it's the same thing over and over again. 

Monday

I had a great weekend with my family and friends. Except for Saturday because it was the MESA competition and me and my friend got disqualified because our box was too big and it didn't fit threw all angles of the hoop. We were really mad because almost everyone got an award except for us. But then on Sunday we went to buy our airline tickets to go to Guatemala during summer vacation. My goals for this week is to try my best in all my classes and have fun because next week is going to be stressful I already know what's going to be happening.

Friday

So happy that today is Friday. This week flew by I don't know why time is going by so quickly. Yesterday was open house but I didn't come because they weren't going to give out report cards and my mom hates to go up all the stairs to the third floor to see my teachers. Out of all my years in high school we have only visited my teachers like 3 times. Today we come out early so it gives me more time to work on my MESA project. The MESA sweaters came in yesterday I like them and tomorrow I get to wear it to the competition I am so glad they were free.

Thursday

Today I failed my first period vocabulary test it was hard because there was a lot of words to memorize. I suck at these test because I don't have photographic memory. I have to sit there and read over the list like a 100 times to be able to do good in the test. Yesterday was an exhausting day, but today it feels a little more chill. I can finally stay after school and work on my MESA project hopefully we can finish it by tomorrow. I think I am done with my final project for this class and hopefully I get an A for it. 

Overwhelmed

Today I feel sleepy. There's a lot happening this week. Today I have to take my make-up for Calculus during 5th period and after school. I also have a lot of homework due tomorrow and I have to finish my MESA project. I am very stressed out. I studied for my make-up but I am still scared and nervous there's still some concepts I don't get. But I am hoping he didn't make it so hard plus he did it last minute so maybe it will be the same as the first test but with different equations and numbers. I hate studying my old test because then I realize how easy it really was except for some problems here and there. 

National Pancake Day

Today is the National Pancake Day at IHOP. This morning I went to IHOP to eat my free pancakes. I went a little to early because it started until 7 and I got there at 6:30 so I had to wait but the pancakes were worth waiting because they were really good with some hot chocolate. The purpose is to raise money as charity for the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. Go eat your free pancakes it ends at 10 PM and give your donation.

Goals for the Week

My goals for this week are first most important to pass my AP Calculus make-up test on Wednesday. This means I really have to study today and tomorrow. The make-ups are always a lot harder than the regular tests. Next I have to finish my MESA Egg Express project because the competition is on Saturday. When I tested it on Thursday only 2 out of 5 eggs broke which I think is good for my first try at this project. 

Friday

In my English class we are reading the book called "Into the Wild", by Jon Krakauer. This book is about a young man bravely sets out alone on what turns into a majestic journey to explore the beauty and wonder of the world. Throughout his travels, which ultimately lead him into the wild and wilderness, he seeks and ultimately finds pleasure and joy along with a sense of truth and purpose he has been yearning for all his life. Along the way he meets and deeply touches a cast of others who are all in there own ways also looking to escape or move on from the past and enjoy life again. He leaves his family after graduating college, burns all his money, leaves his car, and decides to go to Alaska. But he dies from hunger because he was never prepared for his adventure. Do you think someone life this is considered a crazy person?

School

I think school is important for everyone because we learn important skills that will help us out in the future. Even though some classes do seem boring and it seems like we will never use what we are being taught we must still try hard because it's a requirement. I think that if a person knows that they don't want to continue in school and take a career then they should stop coming to school and just waist there time ditching classes and instead go out and find a job in which they will be working in for the rest of their lives. I am happy because we only have about 3 months left of school and this means I will graduate soon. I do plan to continue my career path at California State University, Northridge I know it's not the best college but it's better than nothing.

Tuesday

Today is a very cold windy day here in Los Angeles. The weather is very weird now a days. This morning there was a terrible train crash in Oxnard. I am not sure if there were any dead people but I know there were some hurt. So yesterday me and my friend worked on our MESA project and I got Rhino Glue all over my fingers and it wouldn't come off. I was scared but until today in the morning that I washed dishes it started to come off so now it's less thank God.

Monday

Today has been a good morning so far. My weekend was great my mom bought me the Wii U and I have the Super Mario Game 3D. We also visited my aunt's house so I got to see my cousins which I hadn't seen in a long time. Well my Calculus teacher is back from his trip, I was getting use to doing nothing for 5th period but now we have to start again he has missed a lot of days now so I don't think he will be missing anymore. Have a great Monday!

Friday

YAY! It's finally Friday well this week went by really fast. Today I have to stay after school to start on my MESA project because it's almost pre-lims and we haven't started. Me and my friend Ana are doing the EGG Express. So we started a new project it's a racing game.

Thursday

So we are finally done with our Trivia Game. I think mine is okay I should've added more questions but it's not that bad. I wonder what we are going to do now. I am guessing it's going to be a guided practice and as always we will have a project to do afterwards which is similar to the practice.

Wednesday

Wow it is already Wednesday, I guess this week will go by really fast and soon we will be in March. I finally got accepted to California State University of Northridge, I think that's where I will be going because I would like to go to a UC but they are far and I don't want to dorm. Today my mom texted me saying that she recieved a call saying we have a meeting with my counselor at 2 p.m. but I think it's a mistake because we never made an appointment and I don't know what she may have to talk about with us.

Friday

Today I am happy because my mom bought me some flowers! I guess she's my valentine. I am happy that we get a 3 day weekend even though I know that I don't think we will be going out anywhere but at least I get to sleep in a little more. Hope everyone has a nice Friday and weekend! Happy Valentines day!

Thursday

So yesterday I was really tiered because I had to help Ms.Torres set up and clean up after the Magnet Honor Roll. I was so happy because I got awarded with a medal for being in the honor roll all my four years of high school. Except that when I got home my mom wasn't in a good mood so she didn't even tell my Congrats. She was in a bad mood because she had gone to sell her pastries but some drunk man walked passed her and purposely bumped her tray and all her pastries fell so she didn't sell anything instead she lost her money. Happy Thursday everyone!
 

Wednesday

Today we are having the Magnet Honor Roll Luncheon. I am not that excited this year I think it's because I didn't make it into high honors in fact, I always wanted to but throughout my 4 years in high school I have only been rewarded for honors. I have been wanting a sweater that's why I wanted to get high honors but it's okay. I have to help set up during 3rd period. I think we will be having subway, chips, soda, and a dessert. That has been the menu for the past 3 years.We are now working on our own guessing game I can't make up my mind on what the subject of my questions should be.

Tuesday

I am not sure if we will continue our Guessing game. My teacher said we will do independent work soon I wonder what we will have to do probably some kind of game related to the guessing game. I don't know if we are going to put the Try Again option on the guessing game. Have a happy Tuesday! :)

Monday

Today wasn't such a good morning for me. My mom got mad at me for not listening to her. I hope that when I get home she will not be mad anymore. Yesterday was a good day. I went with my uncle to the movies we saw the Sponge bob Movie because my little cousin wanted to it was okay brought back my childhood memories I used to love watching Sponge bob. Later I went with my parents and grandmother and we ate Hawaiian BBQ I like that food a lot. Then we went to church and that was my day.

Friday

Well I totally failed my AP Calculus test yesterday, it was really hard. I skipped a lot of problems and the ones that I tried I either didn't finish them or I am not sure if I got the correct answer. Yesterday I got an email from Fullerton but unfortunately they are having a problem with my name. So my mom has always put Jennifer Lopez Eufemia in most of my paperwork but in my social my last names are switched and I have a middle name so Fullerton can't connect to my FAFSA because my name doesn't match. Hopefully I don't have this problem with the other colleges but I am going to go talk to my counselor today during 4th period I am shy though so I don't know how to ask her. Have a nice Friday!

Post

Well the first grading period is coming and today I think grades are due. That was really fast. I am glad I completed all of my projects for this class. Today we have our first AP Calculus test and I honestly didn't study a lot as usual. The good thing is that my grade won't appear in my first report card. I think I should have a good grade for AP Macroeconomics. I hope I can get an A this semester and maybe a B for math. I wonder what kind of project we are going to do know with Scratch. Wish me good luck for this semester.

Tuesday

Nothing new has happened lately. But I have become very lazy at getting my homework done. Yesterday we were just finishing up the work we had not done yet. I am not sure what we will be doing today but I think I am done with all of the work. I have an AP Calculus test soon well on Thursday so I have to study a lot because there's a couple of formulas I need to know.

Journal Entry / Blog Entry

Our last activity was the Summer Story. It was easy all I used that was new to me was the Broadcast block to change the scenes. I used different characters so some of them had to either change costumes when the different scenes came or they had to hide or show in the different scenes. The background had to change to show the different scenes. There was also a dialog going on.

Journal Entry / Blog Entry

To do the alphabet project I learned how to use the Broadcast block. I also used the when clicked or when a letter is pressed on the keyboard. Then the letter would change costumes and would say something for 2 seconds. It was a bit difficult because some of the animated costumes wouldn't work.

I finally finished the baseball project and it actually wasn't that hard. I used the go to x_degrees and y_degrees block so that it would always start in the home base. Then I used the glide _secs to x_degrees and y_degrees. I also switched the costumes that way the sprite turned 90 degrees and I put wait_secs and again the glide block. And I put everything in a forever loop so it continues to go around the baseball field.

Yesterdays challenge was like a baseball game. We had to make scratch move from home to base 1 to base 2 and to base 3 back to home. I still haven't finished because I can't make scratch turn. I think I have to use the forever loop and the turn _ degrees but I can't get it how I want it to turn. I am not so sure how to do it.

In the Dialog Project, I learned how to make the scripts talk. I made a boy walk in the park. And all of a sudden his friend sees him and they have a conversation. The block you use to write a conversation is the say hello.

What do you remember about Scratch from yesterday?  What do some of the blocks do?

From the Name Project, I learned the simple steps for programming in scratch. I learned how to pick different sprites or how to upload them from my computer. I learned how to make the sprite move by using the green flag block, the forever block, and the move _ steps. You can also make it turn/spin or change colors.I learned how to make it bounce when it touches the edges. I learned how to upload music from mp3. I also learned how to make the sprites change costumes which makes it look like they are dancing.

It's Friday!

Yay! Finally it is Friday this week went by really fast. My Birthday is on Sunday! Actually its me and my mom's birthday, we were both born on the same day. She's turning 48 and I am turning 18! Wow I never thought this day would come. My mom says she has a big surprise for me. I think we might have a small party on Sunday in the evening. I am excited!

Yay! today is Thursday, this week went by really fast. I am excited to get home and start my scholarship applications. I finally have some to apply to. It was very hard to search for the good ones. Today we had coffee cake, milk, and an apply for the breakfast in the classroom. I had been wanting a coffee cake for the longest.

Breakfast In the Class

Today we started the Breakfast in the Class. We had Cheerios, Milk, Orange Juice, and some Crackers. I think it was a great start, it didn't really interrupt our class because we ate for the first 15 Minutes and then we went down to the book room.  I actually ate all of my breakfast even though I ate at home but I am usually hungry during second period but not today. I just hope they keep giving good breakfast food.  

Tuesday

Yesterday was the first day of school and it went by quick. Tomorrow we will start the breakfast in the class, I can't wait to see what is going to happen.

Second Semester Starts Today

Happy New Year! Today we started second semester at LA High School. I am in the same class for ECS B. My friend Harold is no longer in this class because he had to retake Pre-Calculus B, so now I am lonely. Hopefully this semester won't be as stressful as last semester. Only less than 6 months left until I graduate.
