Needing help finding a song for english!

I am trying to find a really good song to use for english class. I keep finding different songs, but u don't know if i could get enough out of them to analyze for a whole paper. I was thinking about using a faith hill song just because she has some songs that are very meaningful and i would be able to take them apart easily. I still have until thursday so i guess i will continue looking for one until then. I tried picking some country songs, but realized a lot of the songs were way to straight forward with the meanings!

Missing Someone!

This past weekend i went home and it went by way to fast! I went home to move in my twin sister, which made me really sad! It was weird moving her in and having to say goodbye to someone i am always with. I never guessed we would go to different school and neither did our parents. I don't know how long this going to different schools will last because its a huge adjustment for the both of us. I am very excited for her starting classes tomorrow and i know she is too. I am very happy for her, but miss her tons! Talking on the phone everyday makes me miss her even more. I cant wait to see her again in two weeks! She is my best friend and always will be!

Ishmael Beah!

I was so interested in everything that Ishmael said while he was speaking to us. I was really exciting about going and seeing him the day before. He was the first famous author i have ever listened to speak to us, and i was amazed by how normal he was after going through so many different experiences in his life. I would definitely have to say that what i enjoyed most about him was his amazing accent! He speaked enlgish very well too, which was kind of a surprise. My favorite part of his presentation was when he explained to us all the different things he experienced when he moved here. He had quite an encounter with salad, and hot water! I laughed for quite awhile when i heard him talk about this. I never realized how much we take for granted until listening to him talk about it. I loved it when he referred to the salad we eat as "grass". I love salad so it was neat to see another persons perspective about it that knows no idea where salad even came from! I think it was good that Ishmael stayed away from talking about how glory everything was that happened in the book. He tried staying positive most of the time he talked and didn't really look at it was such a bad thing like i thought he would. I think it is really cool how he was so positive and such a great person! He kept repeating throughout his presentation that what he went through made him the strong person he is today. He referred to us as all having this capability inside of us, which really made me think about things in my life! Overall i really enjoyed him talking and wouldn't mind going and listening to him all over again!

This Weekend

I am so excited for this weekend because i am going home! I cant wait to see my family and friends again even though its only been two weeks! I am going home to move my twin sister into college so it should be pretty interesting. I am very excited for her and i know she cant wait either. My mom is dreading Saturday, but i am sure she will be fine with the new changes! Friday can not get her soon enough! I have tons of homework to do over this weekend but hopefully will get most of it done in the car ride!

Peer Review

I think the peer review was very helpful. It def. helped me reading out loud with classmates because i was able to catch my mistakes as i read on. I think by reading out loud you can easily figure out what sounds good and what makes no sense. Both papers i read were really good. It was fun doing something as a group, rather then just sitting by ourselves and trying to figure out our own papers. The sheets you gave us to put remarks on will def. help me too while i as proof reading my draft before turning it in!

The Weather Outside!

I am so confused by all the changes in the weather lately! One minute it is chilly outside, and then the next it is warm. Its hard to decided what to wear in the mornings because its always cold out, and then decides to change at the last minute. I guess from now on i am going to have to layer up the clothing and then just take it off as the day goes on. I guess a sweatshirt can always fit in my book bag if i dont need it! I love it when the weather starts to change though. Fall is by far the best season!

Memior About myself

I am still trying to focus exactly on what i am writing on for the paper. So far i know i am writing bout my twin sister and i being best friends. I am going to go into the memories of our first time sharing a bed room and our first experience on bunk beds! It should be pretty funny so i am kind of excited to write it! I don't know exactly how to get three pages out of it, but Im sure i will figure it out eventually!

Tons of things to do

This week is really stressful! I have tons of homework and things i need to do before i go home for the weekend. I have been trying to get all my papers and studying done so i don't have to do it at home, but it's taking a lot of time! I am so excited to go home this weekend and glad we don't have class on monday. I am super hungry right now and can't wait to eat lunch. My first class today wasn't until eleven, so i finally got to sleep in which was really nice!
