“I’m worried about him”

            “I think we are all worried about him” 

            “But he is my brother” Jacob looked up at Jen “iv been a bad older brother, iv been immature and mean” Jen frowned and shook her head in disagreement

            “No, you care about him, maybe you don’t show it, but that’s just how siblings work.” She took his hand “that’s why you never wanted to tell anyone about us, you knew he had feelings for me, and you don’t want to put that on him”  Jacob looked up, he had tears in his eyes “itle be ok”

            “its been two days almost three, he needs to eat”

            “I know, we tried but he wont eat…look for now you need to be our leader, and eventually your brother will snap out of this”

            “I can’t be my brother, im not meant to lead”

            it was two days later and Justin still sat in the dark room.  No one visited him since Chris went in there, and Chris himself was being very quite. Dan and Eve really wanted to see their brother, but Chris told everyone to let him be. No one questioned why.  Jane tried her best to make Chris feel better, but Chris seemed to be in his own world most of the time, although he was not completely shut down like Justin.  John and ted continued practicing parkour in the open parts of the store, everyone knew that they used parkour like a drug. They said that the flow and the movement was more then good exercise and getting better at running away, it was a way of life, it helped get your mind of things. They were parkour high.

            Rob was being quite too but he was never a really loud individual in the first place. He spent most of his time sleeping, and looking around in the parts of the store that no one went to. Julia tried to hang out with Dan and Eve but they were not as interested as they usually were.  

            No one was the same as they usually were, Jen and Jane were the only ones that seemed unaffected. When Jen was not with Jacob and when Jane was not trying to make everyone else feel better they would have their girl talk.  They both had their secrets they kept from the group. No one knew about Jen and Jacob except Jane, and no one knew that Jane was falling for Chris. 

            They talked for a long while about things they should do. Jen wanted to tell Just about how she was going out with his brother, and Jane really wanted to tell Chris how she felt.  

            “just tell him, that’s what I did with Jacob”

            “I don’t know…” Jane looked down. It was now the third day since smitty went into his dark room.  Things were quite

            “ARM YOURSELFs!” came a loud voice, everyone recognized it as robs, who does not talk much but when he does, you know its him. Jane looked up and rob came around the corner with his paintball gun in hand. “there are people not zombies approaching the store!”  both girls got up and ran for their wepons. Soon everyone was gathered at the main entrance. All armed, except for Just, who was still in his dark room.

            Zombies were all around the front entrance, but some of them were turning around to run somewhere. All of a sudden one of the zombies dropped, and then another and another. No one noticed as the zombies dropped the figure charging at the zombies from the other side until a huge buster sword came by and sliced a zombies head off. it was now played out like a show a man, with long hair goggles and what appeared to be a robotic arm came was killing zombies with a sword, and other zombies were falling out of no where.  The slaughter continued unile there were no zombies left. The man now stood in front of the main entrance. He had his massive sword by his side and was just staring in. he seemed to be waiting for something to happen.  It was a stare off

Hey stephen
you're not sorry
I'll be missing you
you're still the one
You belong with me

Hey stephen
Two is better than one

I just got back from work. I am not tired but my back hurts. I have nothing to do and am wide awake. I hate when I'm in these situations. Television never entertains me when I'm in this state and I don't enjoy computer or video games. My friends (including myself) can't drive, so if i wanted to hang out with them I couldn't.  I don't know what to do. I want to eat. I'm not hungry but that's what I do when I'm bored. It's a terrible habit. I'm working on breaking it. Actually right now I'm breaking that habit because I am not eating and am not going to eat until breakfast time comes tommorow morning.

If you look at me then my half sister Zoe, you could tell there was some resemblance but not really. At 11 years old she is already as tall as me if not taller. Her eyes are small but round going with the cat green color of them, my own are brown and almond shape. She has a heart shaped face while I have been told my face is rounder. My hair is longer, dark with a odd mixture of waves and curls. Zoe's on the other hand hits around her chin, has a gold color to it and is extremely curly.
 
 Even outside our looks is completely different. We have very different personalities to the extreme. How to simply condense down are major differences? Well she is off the wall, loud, bubbly, toughness 24/7. Though I can be loud at times I am actually quiet and reserved, out side of it and it plays up more in comparisons to her. If you put the two of us in a room she would run around while I write or read a book.

 The list of our personality, likes, actions, even our appearances differences continues to grow. To some degree it makes me wonder why did I wish for a little sister. But then again it doesn't. I adore Zoe more then anyone. Since we were little I always dotted upon her and cared for her. I use her as an inspiration to work hard so that she has a good role model to look up to. Even if we don't get to see one another often I always let her know where to find me so she can have me to talk to and get support from. Never would I let her down because we are sisters.

Doing this project I learned that procrastination is really bad. When you procrastinate you get less done and your final project won't be the best that it could be. Even though I feel like in some areas I could have done better, overall I'm proud of my project. If I were to do this project over however, I would use my class time more effectively since we were given several class periods to do it. I liked this project because it helped me learn my vocab words by applying it into a short story.

This Project is about some of the major things I do in my everyday lifestyle.

 For the third quarter, I was assigned a project where I present to you a typical day in my life. This project was done over a three week period, where we created lines for us to act out, and edit with our peers. After our lines were edited, we were then able to record and create a video. In my video, I present to you my self preforming each part of my day, with a spanish voice over and subtitles. 

  I learned a lot from doing this project, both Spanish, and things that can be applied outside of class. One thing I learned was managing time once given an extension. Sure, the extension's great while it last, till very last minute you're panicking over the project. I learned a lot of Spanish from this. I can describe my day pretty well, and congregate these terms well after doing this. 

  Like most project I do, I like and dislike it. On one side I dislike it, because I feel as if I could have done so much more with it, like many other projects that I've done. On the other hand, I'm happy with the end result, which is a piece which presents my day with accurate Spanish and silly faces. 

  If I were given a second opportunity to do this project, I'd defiantly redo a lot of things. I'd add more parts of my day, better lighting, more creative elements…. I could make a list of things I'd like to do differently. Haha. 

I enjoyed this project. It was fun. I got to go over my daily routine in Spanish, and create a video showing it! Sure, so parts of my final product were a bit sloppy, but it was pretty enjoyable doing. It had me actually think about why I do certain things each day.

Due to me not being able to access the link where I place my dropbox final, the link's right here.: http://db.tt/ldlEqBe

If there is one thing I learned during my time in Malawi, it is to take pleasure in even the smallest things. 

He asked me, "Do you know how big the universe is?" 

I thought about it. I only understood that it was larger than I could ever expect. 

So many people don't understand how unimportant they are in this universe. 

He said, "The only thing that makes you worth anything is making someone else happy." 

In this project I learned how to conjugate more and put sentences together properly. In my final project I think my pronunciation and verbs were used correctly that was the most important thing to me. My design being okay was a bonus.
If I could do this project differently I would get better pictures and have words on my imovie. I wouldn't change anything I did in my process I followed and did everything I had to do.
I think this project was okay. I feel like since we had so much other work it took away from me enjoying it and having a different final project.

"Okay, run from the first floor up to the second floor, back down to the first floor, then up to the third floor, then back down to the first floor, then up to the fifth floor, and finally back down to the first floor."

My eyes widened in surprise.

"Ready?"

I stepped onto the first step but my legs wouldn't move. He chuckled and gave me a motivational push.

"Come on LeLe, you can do this; let's go."

I sighed. Forget about a healthy lifestyle; prom better be worth this.

Giana woke up with the sun shining down. Today would be a good day, she promised herself that it would. How could it not be? So, she got ready for school, ate breakfast and walked out of the door. School passed by without fault, in fact she had gotten her English test back with a big, red "A" on it. She did A Cappella after school and started to head home around five. It was dark, chilly and there were storm clouds high above her. How had the day gotten so gloomy? She didn't mind, really. If it happened to rain, well, she loved the rain as much as she loved the sunshine.
Then the rain started to fall and drench Giana's clothes, bounce off of the tip of her nose and saturate her head causing her straight brown hair to wave and clump together. She looked like a wet dog; she didn't care. She strolled to the middle of the street and spun in circles, holding her face up toward the sky and smiling as the drops of cool liquid hit fell across her face and streamed down her neck and chest. She felt something. Something in her told her she was being watched from somewhere behind the trees that lined the sidewalk.
At first, Giana just didn't care. She went along her merry way, dancing and spinning on the midnight street. But she kept feeling the eyes on her and she stopped her play and looked into the line of trees. It was too dark to see anything, but she thought she saw a shadow. Perhaps it was a cat, maybe she was just seeing things. She didn't stick around to find out, she walked down the center of the street at a steady pace towards her home. A block down and she still thought she felt eyes on her, watching her, studying her.
Giana, unwisely, turned into an alley. She always did, she was close to home now and this was the fastest way to get there. Once she was towards the end of the alley she heard a soft whistle. She froze. Was this person dangerous? If they were, why had they warned her of their presence by issuing a whistle? Maybe they thought she wouldn't react quickly enough, maybe they thought she wouldn't recognize a threat and that she was a silly child. She turned and saw a dark figure who was slowly moving toward her. She couldn't tell who it was from here, but they didn't seem to be much taller than her. As this stranger came closer she saw it was a boy, he appeared to be about her age (16), and his eyes and hair were dark and sharply contrasted his extremely pale skin.
Giana caught this stranger's eyes and found herself trapped in their depths. Who was this stranger? She had certainly never seen him before. He smiled slightly at her, more of a smirk of his deep red lips. She smiled a small, shaky smile in return and asked his name. His reply was a wide smile, he was so close now that she could see every one of his flawless, white teeth… and the sharpness and length of his fangs. She shuddered and her hands began to tremble, but she couldn't find the will to move away. She was curious about this boy. She let him come within a foot of her and then stepped back. He stopped his movement forward and stared into her eyes.
And then she went blank. She couldn't speak or move; she was trapped. And within a moment he was right in front of her, his mouth an inch from hers. He moved his mouth to her ear and whispered softly, "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." Well, it's not like she could do anything about it even if he were going to hurt her. She was stuck. What had he done to her? Her mind started to spin in wild directions of the things that this boy could do to her.
And then her thinking stopped, all of her thoughts ran into nothing because suddenly his soft mouth was on her neck. She felt the heat of his breath and then a sharp pain before she felt him sucking from her neck. She knew he must be taking blood, his elongated eye teeth and surreal speed before showed that he must be something more than human. Who knew he'd turn out to be a vampire? Like a real one that took blood to survive. But soon even this wonder died away from her thoughts because she was slowly filling with heat. Everything was slowly become warmer as he drank from her. She didn't have it in her to think and wonder about what was happening to her because she was floating away from herself. And then his mouth was gone, he kissed her and his tongue filled her mouth… And then he was gone.
Giana walked the rest of the way home in a daze and when she got there she went straight to her room and locked the door. She looked at her neck in the mirror above her vanity and gasped in shock at two small holes where neck meets shoulder. They were tiny and glistened slightly; she thought they were beautiful. She had never experienced anything like that before, her entire body had felt as though it was on fire. And the boy? He was beautiful. She had never seen anyone as amazing as him. She drifted to her bed and collapsed onto it and fell into a heavy sleep full of dreams of the beautiful vampire and his soft mouth.​

1. Some things that I learned from doing this project are more involved with using the Mac. I was able to learn new things about programs like Imovie, Garageband, and Comic Life. I feel as though these new skills would definitely be able to help me in the future.

2. I really like my final project, I like my music, and other little details that I put in it to show my personal life.

3. One thing that I would do over is choose my steps, so I could take me pictures. For example, I said "seco con la toalla" which means that I dry myself with my towel, and obviously, I couldn't take a picture of that. So instead, I'll choose my practical steps, so I could have more images. I would keep my music the same though :).

4. I enjoyed this project, because you can be very flexible with it, and you can show who you are. It gives you a lot of room to be creative, and it also gives you a chance to better yourself with the programs no the laptop.

What did you learn from doing this project? (skills, life lessons, words etc)

I learned a lot of Spanish. Having to write and talk about things that happen in my everyday life taught me many new words and how to use them. 

 

How do you feel about your final product?

I'm really happy with it. Though there are a lot of technical difficulties, I think it was one of my best pieces of work in Spanish class.

If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same?

I'd put more time into the presentation to avoid having last minuted problems. 

Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?

I really enjoyed this project. Using comic life was a great amount of fun. It gave me the chance to be really creative. :)

Mi Rutina Diaria (: 

What did you learn from doing this project? (skills, life lessons, words etc) 
I learned how to say all the words i used in the movie, also how to conjugate the words correctly. I also realized all the stuff I do during my day that I normally take for granted. I was able tot make the movie and have it flow and be something interesting to watch.


How do you feel about your final product?
I think it turned out really good. I think I should of had a closing slide or something, but I thought it was interesting and funny. Also I tried really hard for it to be something that people would want to watch.


If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same?
I would try and use other programs and mix things up, also to try and add other things I do during the day. I used still images maybe next time have it be video, but i would continue to use a song and have subtitles. I think them two things really worked well. 


Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
I did enjoy this project. I love making movies and stuff and the topic of it wasn't to hard either. It was about what we did during the day, but there was so much person creativity which was great. It was fun!
