MADYSON <3 SHERLOCK

Madison is my best friend. and i miss her every single day. This year she has attended Coupville middle school. And it has been the hardest time of my life. i hate it. but i am supportive of her because she might come back next year. Madison and i have been through so much. our stupid fight up to exploding tacos, every single memory with her i will cherish forever. This one time i went to her house and i remember spacificly it was the first night "low" by t-pain and flow rida came out. and it played oh i don't know how many times. the next morning we got up and went shopping. Over winter break when it snowed, i went to Madison's house for the day. We went outside and went on the frozen pond. we waited and waited for Cameron to get there because he was spoused to be coming. and then finally he showed up and told us he walked all the way from the green bank store caring his snow board all the way there. and that is like three miles from Madison's house. I have so many good memories with Madison and i miss her so much. i love her. Madison is my world. and i trust her with my life. i love you baby!

Ellie Whitcomb

She is one of the girls i am closest to. we have know each other since we where 6. and riden together for so so so many years. she is an amazing rider and i hope she knows that. always and forever! her pony, Randy, is the cutest thing alive! he is s little you just want to eat him up! but i wont i promiss. We are the JV setters in volleyball, but we always play one varsity game. so we arnt actually on JV or VARSITY. i love to hang out with her and have even more fun,just knowing she is my friend. I have been there everytime she has broken a bone and i kind of think they have been my fault. sorry ellie! But she has been so strong through all of them. She is my hero. i love her to death. Even if im the reason she dies...again, sorry ellie! But i still love her! the crazy adventures we have had, oh man they go on for days! since we have know eachother since like the beginning of life, it is very easy to have so many adventures! but the one i remember the most is the time i came first with my sister. She was coming to ride and as soon as i layed my eyes on her i knew it was best friend for life. I fell in love with all the horses there so fats and i was there so much, that every single day i grew closer and closer to her. One more was more resent. It was our "Redneck" fun. So me and ell where out in there front yard playing volleyball when ellie saw this HUGE beese nest in this tree. So me and her start throwing rocks at it! of course, missed evrytime! then her dad brings out this sling shit and starts hooting tenis balls at it! finally her brother came and chucked something at it and it just came falling down. There where bees everywhere bbut it was so much fun! i love her to death and if you dont know her, you really should!So this one time i whent to ellies house is the snow and jordan and paige came over. Disaster waiting to happen! we whent sledding behind the gator(thing with 4 wheels and goes fast) and we connected a sled to the back. hah oh damn it was SOOOOO much fun! i almost crashed into the house but... Ellie and i have been through so much. She is my other half. i never want to hurt her. She is my best friend.i cant say it any better. MY BEST FRIEND. put that in your mouth and suck on it because it doesn't get any better than us. Someday, we are living next to each other and we are gonna party a;; the time. (have you swoled the fact that she is my best friend??) because she is!!! i couldnt live without her. i would cry my eyes out until i dry. No i would kill my self because she has the other half of my heart. So i WOULD die without her. This one time i went over to her house because i had to feed my horse and she came out to help me and i was filling his water bucket and i dropped the hose and it whent every where and ellie like jumped into a bush and i was like crying i was laughing so hard. And we discovered that in a bush there is a chair and it is super comfy. And we played in the poop pile.  It was so funny. Ellie has always been there for me. and i try to always be there for her. I dont think anyone in the world could separate us. no matter what happened. i couldn't live with out her laugh and how stupidly funny she is. Ellie Whitcomb i love you to death. And you are my best friend. So stick that down your throat and suck it.

What am I?

A am a round snowball

I go soring through the air
when i am contacted
I come in all colors of the rainbow
When i hit the ground
you loose a point
you make a mistake
i am not forgiving
What am I?

A volleyball

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..

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.
