Kevin's Blog-o-Stuff

Well, for my English class, I walked there, as usual, and sat down only to find out that we were to head to the library for an unknown reason. We waited for everyone to show up so the sub could take attendance, and we headed out. When we got there, we were greeted by our counselors who had a presentation ready, along with another class just eagerly waiting to get the presentation over with. As soon as we sat down, I immediately knew what it was about. The words "Financial Support" gave it away. We were here for scholarships and FAFSA and all that good stuff. They did their whole presentation, explained how to create an account and so on, and I honestly zoned out due to the fact that I had already done this. I signed up for the General Education Scholarship and filled in the application, i got pretty far, but hadn't started to the actual completion of any of the requirements because i was helping those around me. Before i knew it, the bell rang and we were outta there. I d...

Some high school students need to be told what to do all the time and reminded or threatened when they don't get the job done.  Independent work can be challenging, but I like it because it gives me time to work at my own pace, and take time to get things right. Independant work relies on me and my skills to manage the use of them. Usually, working within a certain amount of time ends with the result of a last minute, half assed assignment, but independant work with nothing but a request to turn it in makes things a little easier. The whole point of working independently is to know how well you can do things on your own, and i like that.

He ripped open his backpack and stuffed every conceivable item small enough to carry, and bolted to the exit. But he froze, holding onto the doorknob and staring at the white door that had a seal, awaiting to be broken. He stood there, stuck to the same footing and barely moved, he let go of the door, and checked his phone. He got a message saying that the plans were cancelled. He walked to his chair and took a seat. He turned the TV on and started channel surfing. Direct--The bell had rung, and his seat was dtill warm, all had left except he. The teacher asks, "Why do you wait until everyone leaves before you?" He clears his throat and says in a mildly deep voice, "I don't like to confront people when i get to point B, i just like to keep to myself, its better that way." He stands up...

1. The author that I interviewed made his story up and certainly caused me to think about it. 2. The author made it very clear that it was both a tragedy and a comedy, it was a comedy for the elements imbedded into his writing, and a tragedy to try and read, because of all the spelling punctuation errors made. 3. The author intended that that characters in his story be worse than "normal" people to show that he had different insights on others. 4. It just came to him.
