Most interesting part of class: When Miss Hudson asks us for our opinions, asks a question about the story we are reading, and asks about our selves. it is literally the most awkward thing i have ever experienced!
Least Favorite Part of Class: i really don't have a least favorite part of class. but if i were to chose one..... it would be when i realize i'm the only one into what we are learning. i look around and see people sleeping, staring off, whispering, passing notes, doing other homework, etc. its really depressing.
Hardest I Laughed in This Class: there are a lot of times when i laughed really hard and they are about things that shouldn't be in the classroom soooo i'm sorry but i cant say what i was laughing about!
Favorite Memory of This Class: i loved the stories! i wish we had more stories and a little less grammar! i know im taking comp and novels next year!
Best Thing About Hudson as a Teacher: the best thing about Miss Hudson as a teacher is that she is open to what people have to debate. she listens and most of the time understands. i like how patient she is and how she helps when you need it. i appreciate her a lot for providing me with the stories and history we went over in class! and even though i don't really like grammar, i enjoyed learning it. it made me feel a tad more smarter.
Things Hudson Could Do to Make This Class Better For Future Classes: do random writing days! About what ever someone wants to write about! sometimes, people need to vent. it would be really cool if we could take it out on paper in English class! major debates would be cool too. things you have to go into detail with and argue points. annnnnd that''s all i can think of. just a few more fun activities.
Final Comments For Miss Hudson: I really love you as an English teacher! you are good at listening and helping me understand grammar! plus, i greatly appreciated your rides home from play practice! and i love hearing you laugh! its a great laugh! you're such an interesting person and i couldn't think of anyone else who i would want to be my English teacher! THANK YOU!!!!!

Week 31: Just a Little Friendly Advice
FRESHMEN:
Even though you survived the most famous hardship of school, there are still a lot of things you need to learn. here's a list!
- DO YOU! No one likes the person who changes for the people around them! even though it can be excruciatingly painful to hear a label put on you, it is natural. besides, it is not a favored thing to be a person that jumps around with their mood and personality. You have a certain personality type. You may be able to get along with most or all people, but there are certain types that are your buds! stick with them!
- KNOW YOUR LIMITS! i know it is exciting to pick any class you want to take, but make sure you know and remember how much you are comfortable with doing. Yes, there are half butt people that try to do the minimum and slip by, people who are the average Joe or Jody and are okay at some things, and people that are over achievers. But you need to know and remember which group you fall into. going out of your boundaries is good; just don't push yourself over the edge. remember, you have 3 more years to rack up those credits!
- BE YOUR OWN FRIEND! yes it is nice to have your best bud(s) by your side and do a lot of things together, but in some situations, you need to be your own friend. their are some things you can't trust to tell your bud and you should just keep it to yourself. also, don't rely on your friends a lot. rely on yourself because they most likely wont always be there. but you will always be there for yourself. "it's just me, myself, and i. solo ride until i die cause I've got me for life."
- KEEP TO YOURSELF! it isn't appreciated when someone gets into another person's drama and it does no good. it may be tempting to help or get involved. but just don't. no one wants to hear what you have to say. even sometimes people ask you what you think and you need to develop a gut feeling about people before you tell them your thoughts and opinions. they may not be like what they seem. give friendships time. don't worry about everyone else. worry about yourself! "am I getting good grades? are my best buds doing okay? am I eating healthy? am I taking care of myself like i should be? am I happy?" these are questions that you should be asking yourself.
- DON'T STRESS! stressing out is really bad for your mood and your over all health. so don't stress out. if your relationships with people are stressing you out and you can't solve it, then just drop them. they aren't worth it if they can't pull it together. besides, what relationship is good if it stresses you out? and with homework and finals; study a little extra! take it slow and get into what you are learning! if things more than school are stressing you out, find healthy ways to get rid of it! take a walk, work out, step outside, sing, resolve the problem, etc. There are so many alternatives to being stressed out! drink tea or coffee! do yoga! do something! just ENJOY YOURSELF!
- GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT! if you take a class, give it your all. no colleges or employers want to see bad grades. if you can help it, aim for A's! Study hard! Work hard! if you join a club, be ready to give it your all! same with a sport! improve what you are weak at and stay steady with the ones you are good at. If a relationship/friendship is going downhill, try to resolve it. if it is for the better;end it. at least you can say you gave it your best shot!
- STAY ORGANIZED! it is way easier to turn in work on time if you stay organized! if you write down your homework assignment right when you get it, you wont be able to miss it! organization is impressive and shows how much you care about your grades and life. work ahead when it is appropriate.
- KEEP AN OPEN MIND! what you think you want to pursue as a career right now may not be the same when it is time for you to go into a field. our lives, personalities, relation ships, opinions, and even perspectives change! experiment now while it doesn't cost you any or much money at all!
those are some things to think about going into sophomore year. Have fun!
Week 30: My Wish To Make World Peace
Aunt Lisa,
I HOPE YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE RIGHT AWAY!
My superstitious friends told me to wish on 11:11 to have good luck last night, but i'm not a superstitious person. i did it just for the heck of it last night... and crazy to say.... I THINK IT WORKED. i don't know how and i don't know why, but I've been having "good luck" all day today!
I didn't get to set my alarm clock after i made my wish because i passed out. but i woke up early and wide awake. isn't that weird?! then, i look outside and it is a bright sunny day. breezy. warm but not hot. my favorite kind of weather. the forecast said it was supposed to be the high of 55 and storming. but this weather is the polar opposite of the forecast! luckily it was nice, i didn't have clean pants to wear! I got in the shower and the water was perfectly warm. i got out to get dressed and had my favorite outfit on the hanger and clean. After getting ready, i was invited by the smell of BREAKFAST! but my dad was supposed to be at work.... he had a big smile on his face and told me he took the day off to spend time with me. he pointed to a plate with over medium fried eggs with bacon strips and biscuits with sausage gravy. and a tall glass of milk accompanied my a BIG warm cinnamon roll. While i was hurriedly stuffing my face with comfort food, he assured me i didn't have to hurry because i wasn't going to school. we were going to go do fun things together. he had me chose where to go and i said i would tell him after i finish eating and brush my teeth. and i finally made my decision, the Peace Corp. i presented my case to the lady at the desk in the Peace Corp tower and apparently she wasn't superstitious either. so i prayed for someone to let me up to the guy in charge of this place and my help came. the security asked me to recite what i told the secretary and they seemed convinced. they took me to the very top floor and i spoke with the man in charge commanding to speak to the president. and so he did. I gave a long and heart filled speech to a camera that interrupted all TVs, radios, phone, computers, and other devices and i was on broadcast. ALL AROUND THE WORLD. i have been getting interviews ALL DAY! i hope you're proud of me. you inspired me to do this. we will do this together. i love you! oh, and im on a plane RIGHT NOW to get you! see you soon!
Love, Jessie <3 (:

Week 29: Nicholas Cage Answered My Suspicion
Ever since I moved to Washburn, I've been intrigued by the structure and age of a house on the block across from mine, on Adams street. Its made of brick and the bricks need to be tuck pointed. It needs major help but I think it could be a really awesome house! I LOVE how old houses were built and looked like back in the day. And how relationships were... It seems like people had more respect for each other back then... Well anyways, I want to see the inside. People have broken into this house before, but i'm not a bad girl. Sooo I will wait for my chance in the summer when the man that owns it mows his grass! Buuuut i will likely never see the inside and that makes me sad ): But this last weekend, Nicholas Cage was sitting on my porch when i got home from school. He called me over and asked me if there were a hidden treasure in town, where did I think it might be? he told me it could even be a mile from the end of Washburn cause his map didn't clarify exactly where it was so he needs my help. well long story short, we walked around town looking in places for treasure and i remembered that old house and told him that it wasn't locked. we went inside and the place was run down. i heard its been vacant for over 30 years. it needs a lot of help but we were there for one thing, to find the treasure. we looked in all sorts of secret hiding places and we ended up in the attic. there were boxes everywhere. bats, raccoon, mice, wolf spiders... i felt like Indiana Jones fighting through the cob webs. We found an old wardrobe and busted it open. old clothes inside still smelled clean like regular goat milk soap and a little musky. i picked up this wedding dress that looked like it was from a summer wedding; lace on top going down to the waist, short sleeves, silk pouring down the dress to the floor. it was an ivory color and had a tag on it that read: "Owen, you are the love of my life. Never forget that. Since i couldn't give you daughter to pass this dress to, please fins a young lady with a heart of gold that will cherish it as much as i did. My diamond and pearl gold necklace and earrings are in the bag with my veil. please give those away as well as the dress. I love you darling. -Ella"
I grabbed the bag with her veil and opened it up. The diamond and pearl gold necklace shined in the sunlight that was peeking through the window curtains. my heart dropped. the earrings were tangled in the necklace and needed help. i out them in my jacket pocket and said i found nothing except the wedding dress and the card on it. i read the card and skipped the part about the necklace and earrings. He thanked me for the help and left Washburn on his motorcycle. i put the earrings back, left a note on the inside door knob explaining what had happened, and left my number hoping the old man that owns the house would find it to talk to me. well, i got a call from him a week later to meet him at the house. we sat at the kitchen table and he had the dress laid out with the earrings and necklace. he explained to me that he is close to the final chapter of his life and he wanted me to have the dress. He told me that someone with as much adventure, wonder, and a heart to protect others deserves his wife's wedding dress and diamond and pearl gold necklace and earrings. of course i was honored, but the dress was a size 8. it was too small. i dont think he was worried about that. this dress was my motivation to start losing weight. by the time i want to be married, i will fit the dress perfectly. if i somehow wont be able to fit into it, i will give it to my daughter.
