Sleep overs

When I was at my church for the grand sleep over, it was the funniest thing in the world. Four of my little cousin are involved so when it came down to when a kid wouldn't share their toys or blanket some one was bound to say " Siiiiiiisssssssyyyyyy she wont share with me!". I It the most annoying thing that I could have ever witness, because it never ended through out the night. Then in my head, I'm just curious about what they expected me to do about it. The funniest  time was when my cousin was the first to fall asleep and she got whip cream all over her body. It was a pretty preachy night.

Friday: Papa Johns

​I'm going to make this quick I attempted to order food online but screwed it up by clicking too much shit. Then having to call to cancel it & tell them the correct order also I'm tired. Spending some quality time with my sister with movie & dinner in also gotta get my workout on tomorrow morning.

First College Visit

Yesterday I visited Penn State for the first time, while on my tour in the freezing cold many students were walking by going to their classes,dorms,etc. Even though every student seemed as if they were in a rush to get to their destination, nearly every walking by would chant, "We Are!". And the other students walking by would randomly respond by saying, "Penn State".

This Was My Temporary Home

I held the girl in my arms feeling helpless as the tears poured down her face and sobs ripped through the otherwise silent room. No one was making her feel better by saying that death was better than laying in a hospital bed and suffering because she had expected him to come home at the end of the suffering. And so, speaking clearly at her ear that was covered in the hair I was trying to keep off of her hot, wet face I told her, "It's going to be okay... He's finally home. One day, that's where we'll all be; home, together the way we belong."

"You're mom is gonna have to work it out" -Dad

My father is the funniest man I have probably ever met. So this past week I went to the dentist and found out that I need quite a bit of work done on my teeth. So I used my dad's insurance, which is the most basic thing you ever wanna get. They pay to get you're eyes checked but not to get glasses, they pay to get you're teeth checked but not to fix it. His insurance is basically saying, "You know now, so now you gotta figure out how to fix it." Anyway, I sent my dad an email asking him for the rest of the money, cause he doesn't pay for much us, and he said, "You're mom is gonna have to work it out." I really have the right mind to reply, " She been working it out for 18 years, so what's the difference of it now?"

¿Quién eres tú?

Mí nombre es Padre McEnroe y yo vivo en Santiago, Chile. Yo soy el director y el sacerdote en un colegio prestigioso se le llama San Patrick. Yo soy con la clase obrera, de pocos recursos y me considero algo igualitario.Yo quiero que personas tienen mentes abiertas. Todos de los personas merecen a tiene los oportunidades mismas. Entonces, yo intento aprendo esta idea a mís estudiantes.

Yo creo que los estudiantes que debe experimentar cosas que se ayudarán en sus vidas. Es importante los estudiantes que estén preparados para sus vidas. Yo quiero ayuda los estudiantes para experiencias difícil. Yo quiero ellos pienso para los mismos, y tomar sus propias decisiones. Los graduados de San Patrick que debe ser inteligente, creativo y justo. Sí fuera la verdad por todos de mis estudiantes, que he hecho mí trabajo.


Obvectivamente

Esta pintura se llama “Guernica” por Pablo Picasso. Es una pintura muy famoso. Esta pintura contiene muchos cosas differentes. Yo veo una bombilla, una vaca, un caballo, herradura, personas desfiguradas, una espada, un avé, un bebé muerto, una candela, una ventana, una puerta y fuego. Los colores en la pintura son apagados y oscuro. Yo veo negro y muchas matices de gris. Cualquier otras colores son muy apagado para que sean similares a una matice de gris.

Las cosas en la pintura y los colores le da un tono muy serioso y siniestro a la pintura. Los colores no muestran mas detalle a la pintura. Esta hace que sea más misterioso y un poco miedo porque que esta en la oscuridad es desconocido. Es similar que comó chicos son miedo a la oscuridad en la noche. Nosotros son miedo a la desconocido.

En actualmente, la pintura es una repuesta a la bombardeo por los Alemánes de un lugar se llama Guernica. Fue una táctica de asustar y fue muy innecesaria. Fue desleal y yo no estoy de acuerdo con los acciones de los Alemánes.

Subjectamente

Yo recuerdo cuando General Augusto Pinochet derroca el gobierno de Salvador Allende. Fue una tiempo con mucho tensión entre la clase alta, la clase obrera y la clase medio, porque esta cpn mucho tensión entre los izquierdistas y los momios. Todos de la gente fue en conflicto. Hubo muchos manifestaciones en las calles por los comunistas y los socialistas. Todos de las personas tienen problemas con la presidencia. Lo que fueron manifestaciones inofensivos se convirtió a una guerra entre los clases en los calles. Fue muy ridiculo y peligrosas para todos.

La tensión siguió creciendo hasta que General Pinochet toma poder.  Cuando el toma poder, el gobierno fue muy violencia. La situación fue muy miedo por todos de los clases. Yo recuerdo cuando los soldados toman poder en mi colegio. Yo no tenía poder. Yo era un figura de proa hasta que los soldados descubiertan que yo no cruzarse de brazos y aceptaria. Se hicieron muy pujantes. Yo sentía peno por los niños. Sé que tenían miedo.

Los ojectos en la pinura son muy simbólica. Yo creo que la bombillo representa los bombas y el explosión de la tensión entre la gente. Las personas desfiguradas y el bebé muerto representa la repercusión de los acciones de el gobierno. El fuego representa esta tambíen y además, los piensos intensos de las personas. El fuego es muy miedo y simboliza gravedad de la situación. Pero todos de los ojectos en la pintura tiene una significado grave. El avé representa escape y esperanza, y la herradura representa esto también.


Conclusión

La significado de la pintura es muy oscura pero, si usted mira más cerca, hay siempre tiene esperanza. Me gusta la pintura mucho y el pintor parece muy intelligente y realista. No me gusta la historia en la pintura, pero me gusta la oculto significado de esperanza. La significado de la pintura es muy oscura pero, si usted mira más cerca, hay siempre tiene esperanza. Esto es una mensaje yo siempre trato de recordar y confiar.

Good day

​Yesterday, I ate a salad on the bus that I bought at Traders Joe's while I was still in Philly.  It was delicious, except for the pistachios.  They were soggy, so I picked them out. 

That was the worst part of my day.
 

Awesome sauce

My sister was determined at the start of the year to get awesome sauce to catch on. Whenever she used it I would jokingly brush it off with the line from mean girls when Regina tells Gretchen that fetch wouldn't happen. Today I was surfing the internet and saw someones comments on a video. They said awesome sauce...I guess it did catch on. Now let's hope she doesn't rub it in my face.

Antsy Serenity

Today is a good day, I feel like I am going to have a good weekend, hopefully I get to go out. Sometimes I sit and think about what life would be like if my mom was less strict. I wish she wasn't so strict. I want to go places in the world and do things that I've never been able to do. If it is "protection" that keeps me away from experiencing new things, then I don't understand it. Why protect me from experiencing new things, while your there to possible help if anything goes wrong? Instead you won't be there when i do try it when I'm on my own i don't get that.
 This makes sense doesn't it?

​Through weeks of art class progressively i have been learning how to shade and create still life scenes into a detailed expression with out the use of colors but the tones of dark and light. Of course, like every artist, there is needed work of the position where my light source is coming from but other wise much time and effort has been applied to show my best art.

Fears

​It should be warmer out. It's to cold. I got nervous when it snowed yesterday. It makes me think the apocalypse is going to happen. I'm very afraid of that. I'm also afraid of cockroaches, the girls from the ring lurking under my bed, going up the stairs in the dark, oranges, the scent of pickles, and situations where people are upset because I don't know how to comfort them and feel very uncomfortable.

Dragon Fly Heart Camp

During my stay in the hospital i met a little girl who loved the little mermaid. She found out that i could sing and begged me to sing "part of your world" whenever we ran into each other ( which was a lot cause we were staying on the same floor). After some time she got heart transplant on her birthday and was so excited that she threw a disney princess tea party with all the patients. After that she left and i didn't hear from her in a while until she invited me to come to her camp that her and her mother founded which was named " dragon fly heart camp"  dragon fly is in the name cause her and her mother love dragonflies and mary land chester town is filled with them. she created the camp so that children who received heart transplants or has heart complication could have a good time like any other normal kid would at a regular camp. I'm very proud she created this camp from her experience and help others she's one of the people that have inspired from this day forward.

March 25

Today, while my class went off to a museum. I spent the day in the office. It's always funny to sit and talk to the teachers and faculty. You get use to them teaching to you and it's always interesting how the tone changes when you talk to them on an "non teacher- student" level. It makes me smile. The office always has something interesting happening in it.
