T- thing you will take away
A- action you plan to take
B- barrier that could cause the
    action to end
B- benefit of seeing it through

T- the thing I took away from lindsays speech is that I should be prepared the summer before we go to college. I thought that was something important because if you slack off during the summer you are going to get overwhelmed when you get to college.

A- the action I plan to take IS to be prepared the summer before, simply because I don't want overwhelmed when I get to college. I want to know what to do and not get there and be clueless.

B- I think the barrier that would cause the action to end would be me procrastinating. I procrastinate all the time and I really need to break that bad habit because I really never get anything done.

12/20/11 Its almost here !

It's five days away and almost here, so cheer up because Christmas is NEAR !

I am so excited for Christmas this year. I get excited every year. It's just fun to wake up and find gifts under the tree in the morning, go eat dinner and spend tome with family and the ones you love. You always have curiosity about what your going to get or if you get anything at all. Its nice to hear the kids talk about what Santa Claus is going to bring them this year. Hearing the Christmas songs all over the radios.

Going shopping and finding gifts for the family is the best part. It's all about giving and making sure everyone is happy, or at least satisfied. It is just a joyful holiday where everyone is supposed to be happy and have fun!

12/19/11 Themis

As I looked down the list of my fellow Themis members, I see the people who have gained us some house points and some who have lost us some house points. Of course I'm not worried about the ones who have gained us house points, I hope they keep up the good work and gain some more. This whole competition between the houses should give these students who are losing points the motivation to go do better in school and try to get as many house points as possible. Now I know that I have lost some house points because of my grades and not blogging like am now, but I regain those by attending things like junior achievement or the black college expo.

Participating in this competition makes you wanna grill the underclassmen about why they aren't gaining points and why they are losing points, but as a senior, I have to think about what my point system looks like before I can judge anyone else's.
