This Quarter

Compatible Computers
This quarter was okay. I liked most of the projects that we did, and I learned some more things about computers, that I didn't know before. Out of all the projects we did this quarter, I think I liked the ABC's mixbook the most. I liked it, because I liked getting to decorate the book, and Mixbook has alot of different designs you can choose from, and I also liked taking the pictures, because it let us take a break from just doing work, and we got to walk around the school, and talk. One project I didn't like was the picture project where we had to take pictures around the school of different lines and designs, because I thought it was really confusing, and I thought some of the angles and things were kind of hard to find. I learned alot about movie maker and powerpoint this quarter. I didn't even know what Move Maker was until we started our lyric video. I liked the lyric video, because we got to choose our own songs, and pictures. I also learned how to site pictures and videos alot better this quarter. I feel a lot better about using computers now, because even though there are some things about computers that I don't understand, I think I know more than most people do.

Seven Doors

Alice in Wonderland - 1951 - Alice in Wonderland Image
I was walking around one day, when I happend to find seven identical doors right above me. They were each for a different place, and the voice I heard above me told me that I had to pick one of them to go into. I chose to go to Wonderland. Then, suddenly I found myself spinning in cirlcles, and everything went dark. Then, I hit the ground and landed into a garden of wildflowers. Everything was silent, then I heard a strange voice talking to me. It was this girl in a pretty blue dress with red hair, and she asked me what I was doing here. I told her the story about the seven doors, and having to choose one, and then I asked her if this was wonderland. She replied with, "Why, yes. It sure is." And then she started telling me a little bit about herself, and then she started giving me a tour of Wonderland. It was such a beautiful place. There were lollipops, candicanes, gumdrops, and tons of rainbows. It was very colorful. Wonderland is an amazing place.

Jourdan! (:

Best friends forever
I have known Jourdan forever. We used to be best friends, and do everything together, but then we kept getting into stupid fights and then we drifted apart. We're still friends now, and we're pretty close, but not nearly as close as we used to be, because we don't really hangout anymore. But I still consider her one of my best friends, because I know I can tell her anything, and she understands me. We know pretty much everything about eachother.. Like it's forreal crazy. We have so many memories. I probably couldn't even remember half of them, because we were best friends for about three years, and we used to hangout alot. We used to go to McDonald's, Walmart, K-Mart, the movies, the bowling alley, football games, and alot more. Last summer we spent most of it at eachother's houses. We have alot of inside jokes, and every time we hangout we always talk about all the fun times we have had and how many memories we have, and we're always laughing non-stop.

Guns

Terminator 2: Judgment Day
After watching the video, I don't think it would be right to take away guns from everyone, just because of things that some people do. I think you should be able to have a gun if you can use it responsibly. Alot of people use guns for hunting purposes. It wouldn't be fair to take guns away from them, because if hunting is one of their hobbies and it means alot to them, and they're using the guns the way they should be used then you shouldn't take the guns away from them too. I think you should only take the guns away from people that can't handle them, instead of taking them from everyone else. And even if they do take away guns, it's not going to stop people from getting them, and it's not going to decrease deaths, because then people will just kill people another way. I also don't think they should take them away, because it's in our Declaration of Independence.

Choir Trip


I'm really excited for tomorrow. Concert choir is going to UMSL tomorrow, and we're going to get to miss school. We're leaving at 8:45 and we won't be coming back until 2:15. We're going to UMSL so we can show the choir and the music directors there how good we are. Alot of people are surprised when we sing, because they don't expect our voices to be that developed in middle school. I think we're really good, but there are still a few things I think we could work on to make us better. When we go to UMSL, we're also going to be working with Dr. Henry, who is the choir director at UMSL, and Mr. Z said that he is really good. We're going to listen to the UMSL choir, and then they're going to listen to us sing, and we're going to get to work with Dr. Henry.

My First Thanksgiving As Host

urkey Brine Recipe, Thanksgiving Turkey Brine Recipe, How To Brine Turkey, Brining Turkey Article, How To Brine Poultry, How To Brine Chicken, Guidelines for Brining Chicken and Turkey
For my first Thanksgiving as host, I bought the biggest turkey they had in the store. After I went to the store and bought my turkey, I decided that I didn't need to put the turkey in the fridge since I was going to be using it for Thanksgiving the next day. I put the turkey on the counter, and let it sit. The next morning, I got up early, and then I put the turkey in the oven with the packaging on it and all. I set the time on the stove for five hours. It was only 8 am, so by the time the turkey would be done, all of my guests would be there. The first hour that I had the turkey in I started to smell a strange burning smell, so I went to check on the turkey. When I checked on it, I had found that the packaging had completely melting off, and some of it had melted into the turkey. At first I started to panic, and then I grabbed the turkey out as fast as I could, and then I tried to peel the packaging off, but it wouldn't come off. Then I found that it had all melted into the turkey, and the turkey was burned. And that's why we all ate hamburgers.

Thanksgiving! (:

Yipit — Saving You Money
I'm really excited for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday other than Christmas. I love Thanksgiving, because it's a whole day dedicated to food, which I love more than anything in the universe. I'm going to my grandma's house for Thanksgiving this year. I love going to my grandma's for Thanksgiving because, she makes the best food, because she makes everything from scratch. This year she has a 22lb. turkey, and it's been in the fridge thaqing out for about a week now. She's also making mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli cassarole, stuffing, corn, greenbean cassarole, rolls,  pumpkin pie, apple pie, cherry pie, six different cheescakes. I also love Thanksgiving because, I get to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, which starts getting me excited for Christmas. I also watch the annual dog show on Thanksgiving. I can't wait for Thanksgiving.

Flash Mobs

Flash mobs were made not too many years ago. Flash mobs are when you can communicate with someone without actually speaking to them. There are two different kinds of flash mobs. One kind of flash mob is when you do it just for fun, and another kind is for a special purpose. Although, flash mobs can be a fun way to tell someone something, there's a down side to them too. The down side of flash mobs is that they can sometimes cause riots to break out in large cities. But, most of the time now if a city knows that there is a flash mob being planned they will take a step ahead and prepare for it, by having police roaming the streets. Flash mobs can take hundreds of dollars of merchandise in just a few minutes. I think flash mobs are a fun and unique way to get your point across, and I enjoy watching them.

If I Were President

If I were president I would change alot of things. One thing I would change is, that I would make living, food, and gas prices alot lower, because alot of people are having trouble living in the economy we have now. I would also change how many days kids have to go to school a year, because I feel like nine months is a little much to just be spending time going to school. I would also change what time alot of schools start, and how long you have to go to school each day. I would make it to where school started at 10am, and ended at about 2pm, because I don't think you should have to get up at 6:00am, and not get out until 2:25, especially when you still have to do homework afterwards. It just seems like alot of wasted time. If I were president I would make this country better.

2012 Election

Barack Obama
I thought the 2012 election was a good presidental election, because I liked the results. I'm glad Obama got chosen instead on Romney, because Romney only wants things for the rich people, and Obama wants to try and help everyone else who needs help. If Romney would have been elected president, it would be alot harder for people to get food stamps. I wouldn't like it if I got my food stamps taken away, because I'm poor and I need my food. Also, if Romney would have been president, there wouldn't be student loans anymore. That would be bad because, I'm not rich and I'm not smart, so I'm going to need those student loans in about four years. I'm happy Obama got elected instead of Romney, because if Romney got elected instead, no one would be able to afford alot of things, and also beause I feel that Obama should have a chance to change some of the things he's promised.

Halloween


Last night was Halloween, and I thought it was pretty fun even though I don't go trick or treating anymore. Last night I went to my grandma's house in Arnold to hand out candy. There's always alot of people that go to her house every year. When I was handing out candy something really funny happend. There was a little boy who was dressed up as Spiderman, and he had a really big attitiude, and his mom was yelling at him. But after we gave the lttle boy his candy, he dropped his pumpkin basket down my grandma's hill, and all of his candy rolled out, and then he was standng at the top of the hill screaming.. My grandma thought it was funny, and she started laughing, and then I started laughing with her, because for some reason it was hilarious. It took the mom like twenty minuts to calm the little boy down, after he dropped his candy, because then she had him in a wagon, and he was still screaming, because she kept telling him that he was going to go home, and he didn't want to.

Hailey Colin
I have a friend. Her name is Hailey Colin, but I call her Haileyboo.<3 She's a loser, but at least she's pretty. She's really loud and outgoing, and she makes my day sometimes.

Robbing A Gas Station

Stratford police are searching for suspect in armed robbery
My friends and I have just robbed a gas station. My parents have just posted my bail, and they're wondering why I did something like this, because it's not something that I would normally do. This is what happend.. It was late at night about eleven or twelvish, and my friends and I were just walking around after we had snuck out. We were starting to get really hungry. So, we then went into QT to get something to eat, but once we got in theee, we had realized something.. We had no money. None of us did. We had money back at the house, but we didn't want to go all the way back, because there was a good chance we could get caught and we didn't want to get into trouble. We were still very hungry, so we just walked into the gas station, and we just started grabbing bags of cheetos, and we also got some slushies, and a few hot dogs. So, we then walkied up to the cash register, and acted like we were going to buy these thngs, but instead we reached over the counter, and just grabbed all of the money.

Monsters


Last night I has a very strange dream. It was very scary. In my dream, I was laying in my bed sleeping, and then suddenly I woke up, and saw a giant monster peeking at me from my closet. I sat up to see if it was real, but it had disappeared. I soon fell back asleep, but then I heard a banging noise on the side of the wall. I jumped up out of my bed, and looked at the closet, and again nothing was there. I fell asleep again, and then I felt something poking me. I looked up, and there was the monster standing above me just looking at me. I just stared at him in dis-belief. Then I starting screaming help. No one came, so then I jumped up out of my bed, and tried to run but the monster grabbed me, and started choking me. I bit him, and then I got away. After I got away, I ran through my hallway, through the kitchen, and then up the stairs to find my parents, but their door was locked. That was a very scary dream.

Fright Fest.! (:


I'm really excited about tomorrow , because tomorrow night is the first day of Fright Frest. (: I'm really excited, because I haven't been to a Fright Fest before, and I've always wanted to go. I also want to go, because I love Halloween.! It's fun getting scared sometimes. They saod that they're going to make it scarier this year. They also said that there will be zombies and stuff riding the rides with you. I'm going with my friends Alexis, Tyler, and Logan. (: We're like the four best friends. It's going to be alot of fun. I told my mom last night about going to Fright Fest and she said that I can go, but she also said that it's going to be really cold, because there's only going to be a high 50 degrees, and she also said that she watched the weather last night, and they said that it might rain, which makes me sad. I'm really excited.! (:

They Took Everything Except One Odd Thing

Staging a vacant house
Last Saturday my family and I went to my grandma's house for a family reunion. We left at about 9am, and we returned around 10pm. We had a day full of fun, and we just wanted to go home, and go to bed, but we got home we found something that we least expected. Someone had broken into our house. We walked in and everything was empty. They took all of the furniture, all of our clothes, and even our toilet paper. We were in shock. We went through the entire house, and there was nothinng there except for a little toy car in the middle of the living room. The car looked very familliar. But there was only me and my sister, so we wouldn't have toy cars, because we're girls. But then we remembered the little boy across the street had a toy car that looked just like that. So we thought that was very odd. And some of the neighbors told us that they had seen the little boy and his family walking around the neighborhood. I wonder if the robbed our house.

Shopping(:

Shopping!
Shopping is my favoritest thing ever. I could shop like 24/7. I'm always the happiest when I'm shopping. If I couldn't go shopping I would probably die. My favorite places to go shopping at are the mall, Gordmans, and JCPenney's, and Kholes. I like shopping at the mall, because you can find pretty much anything. I like shopping at Gordmans, because you can always find really cute things, that are always on sale. I like gettiing my shoes from there. I also like shopping at JCPenney's because they have really cute accessories, makeup, and perfume, and they're not that expensive. I also like shopping at Kholes, because I can always find really cute jeans there, and it's really hard for me to find jeans anywhere because I have to wear the petite sizes, because I'm so short.! But it's okay because I love being short. (: And the good thing about getting jeans from Kholes, is that they always come with really cute belts too. Sadly, I haven't been shopping since right before school started.

Cupid Story


"That's weird." , thought Cupid. "I've never shot the wrong person like that before." Cupid was sitting on top of a building, and he saw a guy and a girl, that he thought would look cute together, so he shot the guy, and then he shot the girl, and it was like love at first sight. Cupid had thought he did a good job by shooting them both, but he later realized it was a bad idea. He later saw the couple about three months later, and they were arguing constantly, and they couldn't seem to get along. Cupid was shocked. He always picked the right people to be together, but this time he had thought wrong. This was the first time he had ever done something like this, and he wasn't sure if he was a good cupid anymore. Maybe next time he'll think more about his decisions.

Photo Prompt


When I see the picture I think about meaurment. It reminds me of this summer when I was at my grandma and grandpa's house, and my grandpa was making a roof to put over their hot tub. He had to measure out how long of wood he needed, and how much space it should take up. After that, he had to put the wood up, and then eventually measure out the wood to make a roof. Then, he had to paint it, to make it look nice. They've had he roof over their padio and hot tub now for almost three months. It took alot of hard work to make that roof, and he had to measure out alot of different things. That is what this picture makes me think about.

Memory

10 Things You Must Know About Beagles




If I could have a magic bottle to bring back a memory, I would bottle up the memory of getting my dog Buddy. I remember when I was eight years old, I got my first dog. He's a full blooded beagle, and his name is Buddy. I remember we had to drive really far out into the woods just to gt him. It was in October, and it was really windy outside. I went with my mom, sister, and my grandma to go and get him. It took us almost two hours to get there. When we got there the owner came and took us out back to where the dogs were. There were four boys and only two girls. My mom said we had to get a boy, so I picked him, because he was really cute. I wish I could go back to that day, because he's so much older now, and I would like to be able to be a kid again. And also because, ever since we got him, he's been my best friend.

Softball(:

SME Softball
My favorite sport ever is Softball. I've been playing Softball for 5 years now. I love playing softball because, I think it's an entertaining sport, and your almost always doing something. I play third base, but I used to play first base. I kinda miss first base, because I felt like there was more to do, but I still like third base too, because there's a more important job, because you could get the lead runner out, and possibly save a point from the other team. I'm really looking forward to playing softball this summer, and practicing for tryouts for my freshman year. I'm going to be really nervous, because our softball team is really good. I'm just going to train and condition this year, and this summer, so I can be ready for tryouts. I'm just going to try my best, and I really hope I make the team. Softball is my life. <3

Buisness Letter

Festus, MO. 63028

August 29, 2012

Mrs. DeBolt
Festus Middle School
Technology Educator
1717 W. Main St.
Festus, MO. 63028

Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

My name is Stacy, and you love me more than Hailey Colin, Amari Fisher, and Kee-Kee Poo-Poo.  I'm 13 years old. I play softball, and I play third base. I have a dog named Buddy he is 6 years old.  I also have a cat named Izzy, but I don't like her because she scratched me. I love shopping more than life itself. I love my mom. She's my best friend. That's all about me.

I know some things about computers. I use the computer alot at hone, because I like to get on Facebook and listen to music on YouTube. Computers can be very helpful sometimes. But sometimes they can be really annoying, and I want to throw them through a wall. I like computer class, because some of the things we do are very easy, but sometimes I can get confused. I hope I can learn how to do more with computers.

I would like to learn  a little bit more about computers. I know alot of things, but I would still like to know more, because there's alot of other things I could work on. Some things that I'm interested to know about computers, and things I would like to do, are things that have to do with music or TV. There's also alot of programs that I would like to learn about. I really hope I can learn alot more about computers.

Sincerely,

Stacy(;

Indian Girls

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/indian-baby-names.html
I think the videos about Indian girls made no sense. I don't understand why someone would kill their child just because it's a girl. Everyone wants a boy because, they think that girls will cost them too much money in the future, and because they think that boys are better children to have. It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, because no matter what you have, it's still going to cost you money. If they're worried about when their daughter gers married, then maybe the boy should have to help and pay for the wedding too. They all say that they want a son, so he can get married and have a wife, but if people are all aborting baby girls, then there soon won't be any girls left to marry, and then there won't be any children at all. Girls have a big purpose in life too. I don't understand how a mother could kill her child because she's a girl. How would she feel if her parents would've done that to her? I just don't understand. I think the girls should stand up for themselves, and not let people treat them this way just because of their gender. I think everyone in India should except everyone for who they are, because they are still important, even if they are a girl. That's how I feel about what's going on in India.
