Today I'm going to read a book.  I never read. I need to start reading. I heard this book was really good, hence that is why I am going to read this book. Usually when I say I'm going to do something I don't do it. But this time will be different. I swear.

This weather is freakin' gorgeous.


I'm so tired of scholarships. Has anyone started them yet? They are a pain in the @$$. Ugh.
I'm actually running out of things to say so I'm going to write a short poem.


My finger hurts bad.
I have a band aid on it.
I will be okay.

HAHA HAIKU.
Yeahhhh.

The group consisted of Devon Thomas, Jeremy Cothran, and Danielle Duncan creating a visual representation of scorn.

We chose to incorporate the emotion of acceptance and love as well as scorn in order to create a visual representation of the underlying scorn that people have.

The Emotion that we picked was torture, and we decided to do something a little out of the box with the emotion and looked at it from a different perspective.

When I was in middle school, we had to take computer class and learn how to type. I was SO annoyed that the letters weren't in alphabetical order on the keyboard. Like, what's the point? It's hard enough already to learn how to type without all the letters being scrambled up. My teacher told me it was because people used to have typewriters and if the letters were in alphabetical order then they would get stuck all the time. I guess that makes sense but then I was left wondering why nobody ever changed it back once computers were invented. 

They say you don't really learn anything in computer class but that day I learned that the world really is run by grown ups. It was really a matter of whether adults would want to have to re-learn how to type so that everyone in the future can have an easier time typing. Lightbulb...

Morgan leaves her laptop for a quick second just to come back and realize that someone stole it. She searches all over and no one claims to have seen it. Little does she know that her best friends the thief. Will guilt over take her emotion and bring her to admitting she stole the laptop?

Our film shows our interpretation of being defiant. It is seen in the most basic way everyday.

​My favorite place to get lost has to be at my neighborhood basketball court called Marshall States. Even though it’s just down the street from me I feel as though that the court happens to be my place of security. Playing basketball is one of my passions, but Marshall States offers me more than that. It’s where I go to think about my life and to just get away from everything going on around me. I have been going there ever since I was a little kid and I have grown to love the place.

 

            When I need to release some stress or some energy I go to the park. I could stay there all day and not even realize that I have a home to go to. Marshall States has provided me with some of the most fun and relaxing days of my life. Fun times have happened because I’ve developed new friendships while sharing memories with old friendships. I’ve had relaxing times because I can go there to get away and think about my life while getting some shots up on a beautiful day.

 

            I never had a place where I could go just to feel secure and feel like nothing bad was going to happen to me. Marshall States is the only place that made me feel that way. Whether it’s just playing basketball or having life changing experience there, it has always been a place that has been good to me. Fortunately I will always have special connection to Marshall States.

 

            Going to that park is my place to get in my zone whether it’s mentally or physically. I go there to get lost and tune everybody else out when I need a break from life or when I need a good laugh with my friends. No matter how much I get older I will never forget my place of happiness and stability was. There will never be a better environment that I can say has made like I’m above and away from everyone else. Even when I’m older and I’m back in my neighborhood, I will always back to enjoy to the place where getting lost is a regular thing.

  I quickly ran up in fear that something would happen to her. I had my gun at the ready and ran out into the bright light, it took about 5 seconds for my eyes to adjust but I could hear it right off the bat, we were surrounded.  I opened my eyes when I could and a zombie was directly in front of me, too close to shoot. I let out a gasp of horror but then I was relived as a club came out of nowhere striking the zombie in the head and away from me.  I was relived but I did not let my guard down, we still had a lot of zombies around us. Nicole and I were surrounded by at least 20 zombies,  there were already a lot on the ground from when Nicole ran up without me. I raised my pistol up and started firing, I did not count the shots this time, I just shot until my clip was empty and the slid on the top of the gun locked back.  I loaded the other clip fast, now only one clip left with 15 shots in the gun. I looked around and there were not many zombies left. Nicole was going around pushing the rest off the roof with her club.  “look over here” Nicole said and I quickly came over. I was feeling relived and nervous at the same time. i was just glad that Nicole made it out of that alive “this is where they were coming up.” I looked at what she was pointing at, and there was a ramp like thing and a few things they probably could craw up on. We both started knocking all ways off and on the roof off. Now the zombies would not be able to get up. “just?” I turned to face Nicole “promise me something”

            “yeah?”

            “be strong, and if I ever get bite, can you be the one to shoot me?”

            “im not going to want to….but if I have to….yeah I guess”

            “good” she pulled up her sleeve reveling a bite mark not so far away from her wrist, I just now noticed the blood on her hoody. She wore red so i did not notice this before. my heart skipped a beat, I almost fell down. I had trouble standing. Sweat came out of nowhere and I had tears in my eye

            “no I can’t”

            “you promised”

            “…but..oh come on this aint fair” tears were in my eyes now and I was borderline crying. I could not help but feel cheated. My hands were lose around the grips of my gun, my hands were sweaty now. I gripped the gun with a firmer grip.

            “do it!”

            “what do I tell Chris?”

            “the truth now go ahead”

            “..but…i..” I felt my hand on the grip, my heart was beating faster then ever. “ I love you” and that time I meant it. She smiled and nodded

            “I love you too…now kill me”

I  did love her, but that didn’t’ matter, not anymore.. I raised my fathers gun paused for a second that seemed like an hour, then I pulled the trigger. She dropped to the ground, a hole in her head. My hand was shaking and my stomach hurt now. I threw up.The sight of her brains on the floor made me sick and the look in her eyes.  I could barley stand it. I put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger

 

Every other summer, my mom's friend invites us to Delaware to spend a few says in her beach house.  The house is located right on the banks of Rehoboth Beach.  It is a beautiful, three bedroom condo with a peaceful view of the beach and the community golf course.  There are also many nice places to go on the beach, like to the boardwalk and to a million fancy restaurants.  There is also a community swim center that contains a wave pool and two regular pools.  There are also two hot tubs.  I really enjoy going to the beach and checking out the water and looking for sea shells.  My sisters and brother like to look for crabs and fish.

We spend the nights playing games like cards and dominoes while eating candy.  We also sit on the balcony and look at the stars in the warm summer breeze.  We finally go to sleep in our very comfy beds next to open windows.  The sounds of baby frogs fill our ears as we anticipate playing in the sun in the morning.
