Research Paper

Hellooooo theree!! This past week our class has been working on a research paper about trials. I chose the Dr. Sam Sheppard trial. Its not that bad if you think about it. Yes you get homework almost every night for it, but on the flip side, it doesn't take that long. The note cards were pretty tough, but the works cited and title page are really easy! I just got done filling out my outline which is an essay structure on how to set up your paper when you start typing it. Its VERY resourceful and will help you a lot if you become its friend. Like me unfortunately.......but lets keep that a secret! ;) Hopefully this week wont be as tough for English class, hopefully it will go by quickly so i can get my sleep in. Other than that, i guess it will be ok. I need to start focusing a little more in a few areas from other classes besides English and this research project. Grades are great by i could do a little better than what i normally do. Well whatever you do, take my words of advice. And thats by not hallucinating about this project. Well see ya soon.

Keeping up with English 10

Hahaha i thought the title of this blog was funny! anyways....hello again! I'm here at home typing this boring blog when i should be finishing up my note cards for my research paper. But whatever, this is due by midnight so i should do it. Last week Mr. Potter had handed out the worst nightmare of my life......a research paper. As you can realize, thats one of my weakest points in English, especially when you are a given a specific topic that doesn't really interest you. And that my friend, is Trials. You know like when you go to court for a crime or felony? Well thats what were doing. I chose the famous Dr. Sam Sheppard case, where a guy named Sam Sheppard was accused of killing his wife apparently......It's pretty interesting, but i can't really find a good internet ("database") source. Therefore, i find it easier to focus on my book sources rather than my internet sources. I mean this doesn't mean i wont use my internet sources, but i will mainly find my information from my book sources. :) Other than that, all i need to do is get done with filling in my note cards, then the rest of the project should be pretty simple i think.........man i just wish this week will be over with! I have soccer games on Tuesday and Thursday, so for all you falls sports players out their.....you know what i'm talking about. It's difficult to get homework done at night when you either have a night game, if you have practice, or if you have a job. If this is you....i feel your pain :( Well  imma get off and finish my project. See you at school, and goodnight! ;)

English Class 9/7/10

Today in English class it was supposed to not be as exciting, but surprisingly....it was! i was expected to take a test (which i in fact did study for Mr.Potter) over Fiction and Non-Fiction. It isnt the most exciting topic in the world, but when you have a fun teacher like Mr.Potter, time flies just like that and u learn better when u have fun. haha instead today we worked on poetry. we read a few stories that were kinda confusing but eventually got the hang of it, and we had to answer questions about those stories. I thought my favorite was "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost because it was easy to understand because we did it as a class. and thats pretty much for today.....we got new seating charts, i cant sit next to my buddy ~Evren Gokcen~ or ~Abby Hersey~ because Mr.Potter wants us to meet new people every week so at the end of the year we wont have to be like....."oh whats his/her name again?" But i guess thats understandable...Hey! my buddy Evren is still close to me! he sits behind me. Did i ever tell u guys the story of how we met??? Well lemme tell ya! I was in kindergarten and my younger twin brother Nicko was in his class, and it was Evren's birthday on April 25th. He invited nicko to his party and i came along because i got jealous. And i met him at his house. Our first conversation was...Evren: "Whos that?!?!?!" (Sarcastically), Nicko: "Oh its my twin brother, Costa" and i gave him a pat on the back and then we kinda introduced eachother and left things like that. So in other words he was being a bully and saying u cant be here, i didnt invite you! Yeah and if ur reading this, i do remember it! HAHAHAHAHAHAH then here we are now. Only 15 minutes in of writing this pointless blog for one person to read it and comment saying..."it was good" got u know what?...imma get tired of doing this. ok well thank u for reading my first blog, hope u liked it and commented on it. Ill see u in class, imma bout to pass out now, pce
