Another writing asignment

Right now in  our writing program we are working on reports about a person from the Revolutionary War. I have chosen to write about Molly Pitcher, because I think that the women who fought in the war don't get enough credit. Molly was an amazing woman who, when her husband was wounded in a battle, took up his position at the cannon he was helping to man. The battle was do fierce that at one point, a cannon ball flew right between Molly's legs, taking part of her skirt with it. She and many other women helped fight the war in many different ways, and I think that they don't get enough credit for it.

This Fall

This Fall, I would like to read more classic literature, such as Mark Twain, C.S. Lewis, and Jane Austen. I would also like to take a lot more pictures, as well as branch out in the style of pictures that I take. This should be easier to do than some other things, as I am currently taking a photography class at the local community collage.  Something else that I would like to do less, procrastinate on school work, as well as other things in general. In school I would like to learn more about world history, as well as more about our country's history. Something that I wish I didn't have to learn more about is math, I am almost finished with Algebra 1, and will be starting Algebra 2 in just a few weeks. I think I would enjoy school a lot more if I could just stop having to do math altogether, but as that is not very likely to happen, I guess that I will have to just push on and do it anyways. All in all I am hoping that this year will be a rather productive year for me, in school, as well as in everything else I do.   

September 11, 2001

We recently celebrated the eleventh anniversary of one of the saddest, and most influential events in our nations history. September 11, 2001, began just like any other day, people got up and ate breakfast, kids went to school, and parents went to work, just like any other day. I was only about seven when it happened, so I don't remember very much, but I do remember knowing that planes shouldn't be flying into buildings like that, and that the men who caused it to happen were not good people. Later that day, and in the days and weeks following 9/11, I remember wondering if we would become colonies like we were before the revolutionary war, or if things would be even worse, and we would become slaves, with no say over how we got to live our lives. As more and more time passed though, I felt more and more safe, after seeing how the American people banded together against this threat that affected all of us.

Some of the things that I want to accomplish this year.  I want to start getting up early to go swimming.  I have a license I should use it for something other than errands.  I would like to improve in all of my subjects, but I don't want to add any more to the list.  I wish that I could stay focused more and not get distracted by doctor who and books.  I wish that I could start eating better but I doubt that will happen.  I want to become a better violinist, I have a lot of room to improve there and I would like to.  I would like to get a good job and learn to support my self. 

So I'm back I don't have any thing better to wright about, so I'm just going to ramble on till I can stop so here gos.  We started school a little over a month ago but I am already tired of it.  I would rather be reading one of my favorite books or watching one of my favorite TV shows.  We started pathfinders two week ago.  I miss Enaea and Rosee because they went to boarding school and when they came back for their first home leave last weekend I was very happy to see them.  Dana had her birthday party when they where here but I could not go because I was sick.  My wrist has been hurting me for a wile and I don't know why and it is getting old.  I have tried ibuprofen and arnica and the next thing to try is advil but just thinking that word makes me want to barf so I don't know what to do about it. I recently started watching doctor who and fell in love.  My favorite doctor is the 10th but 11 is cool too.  I cant wait for "mark of Athena" to come out in about a week and then "the promise part 3 comes out soon after that.  My little brother got a new hamster and he is very fast in his green little ball.  A thought just occurred to me that I don't like riding horses and that I should, but I don't know why I should.  I'm weird like that which some of you probably know.  I am going to turn 17 on my next birthday and it scares me more than turning 16 did.  I think that should be enough more me to stop so by-by.
