Our Brost on "City upon a hill" In bronacular

​Dennis Mawson, Kabbour Rizq, Zayd Alsardary

A brodells upon a hill.

 

The bronely way to brahvoid this shipwreck and to brovide for our bro-sperity is to follbro the counsel of madden, to do justly, to love mercy, to walk bro-ly with our Brod. We must party together in this frat as one bro. We must entertain each other in brotherly broffection with natty ice and madden. We must upbrold a bromiliar bromerce in all madden losses and other unbroly conduct. We must delight each brother, make brothers bronditions our brown brojyce brogether. Loose brogether, laybro brogether, and suffer brogether. Always having brofore our eyes, our bromission and brommunity in the party, our bromunity, as bros of the same frat. Bro shall we keep the bro-unity of the bro, and the bond of madden. The lord will be our bro (broseiden, king of the brocean.) and delight to party among us, as his bros, and will brommand, a bro-blessing upon us in all our games, bro that we will see bro more of his brodome, brower broodness, and bruth, than formerly we have been broquainted with. We will find that the COD of the internet is among us, when a bros worth of two six packs shall be able to pwn a thousand noobs. When he shall make us party and bro, that bros shall talk of broceeding botations, The cod makes it like Brohio; We must brosider that we shall be as a Brodells upon a hill, the eyes of all bros are on us, and… Tl;dt, broever, we shall brummarize.

 

All bros must bro together in the same frat in order to enjoy the broness of their natty ice and games of madden and ultimate Frisbee, the life of the bro must be always brogether, and never bropart. If a bro will work with his fellbro bros, then he shall have brocess, however if a bro loses touch with his bromances, that bro shall lack the brobility to broceed. If all bros stick together, we will have as many good parties with natty ices, madden, Frisbee, and plenty of noobs to pwn, as there are affliction shirts in brodells, hence to say, we will be like a brodells upon a hill.


City on a Hill, the Echols way

Our version of John Winthrop's "City on a Hill" speech, written in the vernacular of Ms. Echols by Jeff, Bach, Will, and Thea.

Okay, so we have these little people living on a teeney weeney little hill and they’re all “We’re tiny little people and everyone’s looking up at us and stuff!”  So then one of them is like, “Praise Jesus!” and other spiritual religious-y stuff.  Yayyyy, Jesus!  He’s awesome.  But the tiny little people have to work together and COLLABORATE, right?  Woooo, collaboration!  And everyone ELSE, the rest of the world, is watching them like WE’RE WATCHING YOU TINY LITTLE PEOPLE!  And Jesus is watching them too like AHMYGAAAAD, I’M JESUS!  So then the tiny little people have to do a good job of being nice to each other and working together or people will be like “You tiny little people suck and Jesus sucks,” AHMYGAAAAD!  And that would suck, becaaaauuuse, Jesus is really awesome and he doesn’t suck!  So, yeah, and now... the tiny little people have to work hard and care for each other and be a community, WOO, community!  Because otherwise they’ll die OHNOOOOO AHMYGAAAAD!  So, guys, like, for real, seriously, collaborate and stuff, YAYYYY!

Nailah's and Johniera's NHD project: Navajo Indian Boarding schools

NHD Benchmark Reflection

 

            Johniera and I chose this topic because Ms. Laufenberg suggested when we were searching for project ideas. We chose to present it as a  documentary because there was an endless amount pictures available to us to show the Indian boarding schools and the affects they had amongst the students. We ran into trouble when my computer broke 3 weeks prior to when it was due, which limited us in having a lot of time to find pictures. Disregarding the stress that came along with it, the final product turned out nice. The collaboration and communication went well in our group. If I could do it over, I would add more video. I learned about the Native Americans and the trials and tribulations they went through, throughout the times of European explorers. I also learned about how their heritage was desecrated through the times because of the boarding schools.

A rant inspired by Tracy Morgan

You can't even imagine the things that I've seen. A cat climbed up the side of my house and ate my window plant!. I once witnessed a petite Chinese florist tackle a homeless man who stole a bouquet! The Kool-Aid man broke my chimney! Paula Deen used Pam. This is the best I can do on short notice. The rest are exclusively about cats and I don't want to get repetitive.

Espaol Q3_BM

I listed out some of the things I'd do in a day, and put them in order form waking up to having lunch, which is half way through the day. 

Well, after doing this project I learned that being able to speak the basic words of a daily routine from waking up to sleeping and all that in between in spanish. And that can seriously benefit me in the future, when something comes along and is somehow relevant to it.  

My final product isn't all that though. I could've done some more work and added more creativity to it. 

If I could do this all over again, I'd consider on adding the creativities, and some humor to it. 

The project was tolerable, it wasn't that big of a pain. Overall I was ok with this. 

Blind

​I went to the eye doctor today. My new contact prescription is -5.50. I did the math, and this means I can see clearly for 18 centimeters in front of me without correction. It's a good thing for glasses and contacts because nothing interesting happens within 18 centimeters of my face. 

Why do we make it seem like high school is the end of the world?


Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Letting this "bitch stole my man" drama cloud your judgment

When truth be told this boy isn't even worth one drop of the perspiration rolling down your forehead

 

Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Letting these childish labels like jock and nerd mess with your head

When you know they don't control your future

Knowing that one day you might see Johnny begging you for a dollar

And your thinking "Dang, I thought he was gonna be a baller."

 

Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Your following the head cheerleader so you can get a status boost

While everybody knows in the real world that

Coattail riders have little self worth

 

So why are you putting High School on a pedestal?

Knowing that it’s just a 4 year phase

An obstacle in your way of

Living up to your full potential

 

So dry your tears

Dust yourself off

Stop being a puppet

And just be yourself

 

And realize that everything is gonna be ok

As long as you realize that High School doesn’t last forever

That statuses fade away

And remember to keep High School off that pedestal

Because it’s not even worth looking up to

 

 

 

 

 

Manders reflexion forgot to do

This project was really helpful for me. Yes I made some mistakes but I learned so much more spanish did Then I did before doing this Project. It was really fun and really interesting. Like I said thier is a few mistakes in my final product but I believe it was pretty good. I think I will get a B. It's not perfect because I will admitt I procastinate but I think I turned out really well and funny.

When you left my heart fell apart

There was no sunshine, stars - there was no reason to stay alive.

I wish I could go back in time, and tell you everything you meant to me.

There is nothing I can do now, but cry at nights when I close my eyes and see your face. 

I don't know if you were a bad man or not.

All I know is that if I could go back in time, I would spend more time with you.

Well, I guess all I wanted to say is that I'll always love you dad.

Daily story- March 2

This weekend I got to see my friend Kirstin, who is a sophmore at Regent University. She and her boyfriend Joel got engaged this fall and this was the first time I'd seen her since. She was telling everybody about how they met- it's the most adorable story ever.
Kirstin had just started her freshman year at college and she went to an "ice cream social" with her friends. They were all standing around talking when this guy walks up, Joel. He knows everybody but Kirstin and gives them all hugs. Kirstin jokingly says, "what, I don't get a hug??" and Joel makes this weird/awkward face and just kind of walks away. Later that evening, Kirstin is in her room and somebody knocks on her door. She opens it up to see Joel standing there. He goes, "Your Phillies suck." She lets him in and they argue for hours and hours. And now they're going to be married. I guess it's not the most glamorous love-at-first-sight type of story but I love it. It's like, he's so shy when he first sees her that he can't even say anything and runs away, but then he can't stand it that he missed his chance so he's going nuts trying to think of any excuse to talk to her and the only thing he can come up with is that she's from Philadelphia, so she must like the Phillies...
