What if?

What if
Love is like laying in the sand
What if laying in the sand could start your life over?
If you lay there and you see someone that catches your glance,
Then you can't take your eyes off them.
You can't stop thinking about them.
You think you might be in love.
Laying there with them next to you,
sends chills up your body.
You want you to relax.
But you cant.
Not with them so close.
Because with him so close
Your heart skips a beat.

Stitch


Stitch is a yellow thing. He has the body shape of a cow and has a round head on top of his neck. His body has dots that are the shape of sprinkles and are all colors. His mouth is the shape of a football and he has red lips and black teeth. He has three eyes that are blue with purple strikes so he can see 180 degrees. He has red eyelashes and two antennas on the top of his head with round balls with blue dots on them. He has two spikes on top of his head like ears. He has spikes along his back that are rainbow color. Under his feet he has four rollerballs so he can move around quickly. His whole body is yellow. The spikes on his back go from red, pink, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and green. His head is an oval. On the two spikes on his head he has purple hair coming out of them like grass. His mouth is open with his 8 teeth sticking out like buckteeth. He is super cute and I think you will like him once you get to know him. In the background you see a green trash can. The moos is in the right corner with no reflection. Hi is standing on pavement. It is dark out side. Pitch black. He is standing where no one has stood before..

ICE SKATING! we slip and slide around for like an hour, running in to eachother and this one time she slid into me and i got like a frikken concusion! it hurt! So Jordan Carter came and they have a gator thing which is like a green vehicle that goes fast.

Claymation essay




Ellie and I were partners on our claymation project on Francisco Coronado. This explorer was an interesting person. It seemed odd to think that an explorer in history risked his life and the lives of others to search for seven cities of gold. That sounds more like a character in a fable, not history.
The most enjoyable part of the project was being partners with Ellie. Every day we worked was fun and enjoyable. The partnership worked well for both of us because we planned ahead and completed our work before it was due. Ellie and I got together a couple of times each week to make clay figures and scenes and to take pictures. If my partner’s mom or schedule wouldn’t let them do that, we would never have gotten the project done because it was very time consuming and there was no way to complete this project only during class. Recording the audio was probably the most fun. We had so many re-dos in audio. Ellie was the narrator and I took care of the technical work and dialogue. At the end of a couple of scenes we could be heard laughing or making fun of each other on the audio, but we deleted those recordings. Overall, having Ellie as my partner was very beneficial because we learned to work together and we received a good grade too.
The technical parts were difficult because other people (besides Ellie and me) had access to our work and could tamper with it. We had photos deleted from our videos, audio removed and whole videos deleted. Ellie and I spent way too many class periods re-doing work or looking for our photos or videos on the computer. Even though we were ahead of schedule for taking photos for our scenes, the technical challenges made us get behind schedule. It was challenging enough to complete the project and upload the photos, make a video, get the audio to match the video and do it seven times, but to keep losing it was absolutely frustrating. It was especially difficult to get the audio to match the speed of the photos and flow with the rest of the video. At the end of the project, we added all the single videos to one single big video. We need to make all the videos Quick Time files and then save the videos to the desktop. Four of our videos were missing, deleted, gone. We couldn’t find them on the hard drive for two days. By far, the technology of this project was our biggest challenge.
The most important lesson I learned in this project was to make a separate backup on a zip drive or some other media so our work could be restored without having to start over. It was very challenging to have to re-do photos and audio. I found it a huge waste of time to constantly re-do parts of the project because they were missing on the hard drive. When a part of our project was deleted or moved, and we could not do anything about it, our scene was late and our grade was lower than we wanted. In the future, I would like more control in keeping our project safe by saving it to our own backup. It’s very frustrating to have no control over what happens to our project when it is saved on the school’s computer and we have deadlines to meet. Also, in the future, I would like access to the computer program at home so we can work on this at home. Then if we had extra photos to add to our scene, we could add another clay character and take extra photos and go directly to the program and add them without having to be at school. It would have been good to have the audio at home too so we could make those changes because it was often hard to get the project done on time. Finally, we found it was very important to PLAN AHEAD for anything we did have control over.
In conclusion, I had fun on this project even though it was extremely long. I enjoyed learning a new technology and hope to enjoy the final video if it ever gets finished once we find our missing parts. I also learned a painful lesson to rely on yourself and your own backup and not to trust the school’s computers as the only place to save my work.

Well there's this kid. named river. so when i first met him, i was like Wat a freak! who names a kid river, but know we are closer than life. he is pretty stupid and gets WAY to hipper some times but that's what makes him river.

Lindsey.Phalen.Angela.




After Tuesday, I'm pretty much sure that walmart will never let us back in. On Tuesday(no school) i went over town with phalen and Lindsey. When we first where over town we went ice skating. About 45 minutes later, i had fallen about 6 times, Lindsey about 1 time, and phalen...none. So that had to be taken care of. we where not leaving without her falling more than once on that rock solid ice. So after we whent ice skating we went to the mall and had panda express. OMG I LOVE THAT STUFF! anyways, then we just walked around the mall while my mom and my sister looked for a present for my cousin. We found a photo booth. Sp we took our first picture and then then felt things getting thrown at us...ohhh Lindsey was pissed. so there where like 2 Lil kids out side throwing candy at us. Then we went shopping in walmart for like 2 hours. We first got just random outfits with ugly clothing on. then took some pictures. then it got interesting. we went out and got boy clothes,like men clothing. so big baggy pants, shirts, hats, sweatshirts, and shoes. i think. and OH my god that was pretty funny because3e my pants, WOULD NOT STAY UP FOR THE LIFE OF ME! so i had to stand with my legs as if i was doing to splits. Then we got footy full suite pajamas for Christmas. i looks like Santa clause because it was all red with white dots. Lindsey's was light and dark blues stripes, and phalens was red and green stripes. and then we just went around putting lots of random hats and glasses,scarves and stuff on. and there where clothes EVERYWHERE by the time we left. it was such a fun night and i love spending time with them. Love you Pay Pay Love you Lin Lin

High School


Next year i am hopefully attending Archbishop. i have just this year been thinking about it. There was an entrance exam the first week of December and i was very scared because my English is not so good. but besides that i hope i have a chance of getting in. There school program is very very good there and if you have that on a collage transcript, it is very good. There volleyball team is the best in the region and i love volleyball and i made a premier volleybal team over town becouase i want to play so bad. i cant wait till next year and i hope i get in. I am kind of tired of people giving me crap about going there and saying our high school is better because i hope you know that by you saying that makes me want to go there even more. So please be supportive of me. Because i know you guys are all that good of friends.And you love me.

Thanks
