For once I don't think i bombed a math quiz, it's an awesome feeling. On top of that and on an unrelated note I get to go on a trip up the mountains tomorrow and that should be awesome too. I need to use the word awesome some more, I MUST FIND MORE AWSOME THINGS!!!
Still undecided about where my future lies at least I narrowed it down to these three states now I just gotta choose. Hmm being a adult really blows oh well I'm tired of bitching about this.
It felt good to go out there tonight against them Nationals. I can't beLEEve I had 13 k's which tied my record and also a club record! Hopefully Roy Os. goes out and pitches his butt off. (we'll see)... Well, time to watch our close neighbors the Flyers!
So for the past week I have been applying to jobs because I felt that I would need something to do until the Summer. After a few days with no replies, I decided to give up. On Sunday I began to make a list of all the local stores around my way that were hiring, my list narrowed down to Staples and Target. After applying on Sunday, I didn't expect to get a call back from either, in fact I didn't. Today for some reason I felt like I should call one of the stores to check on my application. I decided to call the store closer to my home, Staples. While on the phone, I asked for the manager, he asked for my name, but he couldn't find my application. After five minutes or so he figured out that he was looking for "DaPonte" instead of "DaVonte", once he found my application he asked me a few questions about my school. Then to my surprise he said, "How would you like to come tomorrow for an interview?". My instant response was of course. Then he said, "See you tomorrow at 5...".
So today I received some of the best news while in school. I received an email to my cellphone which read "FWD: Emma Bowen". About several months ago I'd applied to an paid internship/scholarship, where I would work at a television station: NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, Comcast, or A&E every summer until I graduate from college. The paid internship would also give me $10,000 a year for college. While in college I plan on majoring in Broadcasting, and something else along the lines of digital media, so this internship would be perfect. Well, today when I received the email, I expected to read a paragraph telling me that I should apply again next year. But to my surprise, the email read: Congratulations!You have been selected for a phone interview on Saturday , April 16th@ 9:30am. "
Here are two wanted posters made by me looking for two characters in the movie "El Bola". These posters refer to the child abuse in the movie. Asking the viewer if they have seen either of these people, so that they can be found and saved or brought into custody.
So it's crazy. I was just sitting here in my E Band class thinking okay I think I will be okay. I'm caught up on everything. And I don't think I missing anything from none of my classes. I'm sitting here each class passing through my mind so I can think about whether or not I'm missing something or have anything I need to make up. The name Mr. Chase pops into my head and the word DAMN! comes out of my mouth. It just hit me that I forgot all about writing my daily stories and I start to shake my head. I just say to myself "Let's get it together Deja". Now here I am trying to get back on track with that.

My puppy is so overprotective of my nephew. Last night I finally put my nephew to sleep and he has a cold so it was a little hard for him to breathe he snored a little. Every time he snored my puppy barked which woke him up. I would put him back to sleep then my puppy did it again. We went the whole night playing this game.

Graders have been working with Kate
McGrath from Philadelphia Young Playwrights on a five month
playwrighting project. During this time students researched
Enlightenment Philosophers and investigated the evolution of ideas of
human rights. Then students choose an issue and a location to focus on.
They researched and began crafting monologues that focused on one or
more of our essential questions:
1) How do people find hope in the face of struggle? 2) How do people find ways to resist power? 3) How does individual change happen?
Throughout
the winter students wrote, revised, heard their work out loud, got
feedback, wrote, revised, heard their work out loud, got feedback…
The finished plays are the product of many, many hours of hard work.
