My name is Sarha G. Im in Mrs. Kennedy’s 6th hour. I am reading The choice. I am half way through my book right now. It is a really good book and hard to put down. My book is like the girl next door kinda thing.Travis likes her and is single and Gabby lives next door to him. Gabby has a long time boyfriend who she says she loves. At first even though Travis attempts to be neighborly Gabby seems to have a grudge against him. But they start being friends now. Travis and Gabby started spending time together and they got along really well. Even though Gabby has a boyfriend she loves she keeps liking Travis and thinks he is hot. This book has really become exciting because Travis kissed Gabby and Travis knew she had a longtime boyfriend. I am really liking this book and cant wait to finish it. See you soon, Bye!

My name is Shana K. I’m in Mrs. Kennedy’s 4th hour. I am reading New Moon. It is the 2nd book in the twilight series. I thought the first book was good and saw the movie and it was good. So I decided to keep reading them. It is good so far. Once I start reading I don’t want to stop. That’s why I am so glad that Mrs. Kennedy doesn’t make us do stupid reading logs because then you have to stop and do that and it’s so annoying. I just like to get a good book and enjoy it, not write about it. Wouldn’t you? Even though not all of you read, I know that, or at least like to read if you have to. So Edward leaves Bella and I think that is sad and stupid. She doesn’t know what to do with herself now. She tries not to think of him, but it’s hard not to. I’m just waiting for Edward to come back because I know he has to, or what else would happen. Because there is not much of a story without the handsome Edward Cullen around. And his family left too. So what’s up with that? Because it’s supposed to be about vampires, but they left, so no vampires. Then what’s it about? Lol(laugh out loud), sorry, I’m rambling on about stuff you probably don’t even care about. Wow, this is long, I didn’t know I could type this much. I’m gonna go now I guess. Hope you liked my comment, bye.

My name is Ashleigh S. My books title is Confessions of a Serial Kisser. I’m in Mrs. Kennedy’s second hour. It’s a really good book so far. I’m about half way through it right now. At first I didn’t think that the book was going to be very good. I mean, the main character is sixteen years old and she had never been kissed (seriously) by a guy before! I seriously thought it was going to be one of those books that ends up being about a girl who gets her fist kiss under the stars and it was so romantic and yada yada yada, blah blah blah.(gag) lol But it’s not even close to that! All of a sudden she reads this book and is infatuated with getting her first “Crimson Kiss” and how she needs to “live her fantasy”. So she just randomly goes up to guys she doesn’t even know, like random guys in Starbucks, and kisses them. I mean, who really does that?! Come on! It’s a really good though, seriously. I really like the main character, I’m always on the edge of my seat, always wondering what crazy thing she’s going to do next! Can’t wait to finish! See you tomorrow, Bye!

To Love One’s Self

In my struggle with myself,
There is no poetry
In my quest to understand,
There is vanity
In my ordeal of decadence,
There is no beauty.
In my search for transcendence,
There is mockery

This countenance I bear,
This visage that I wear,
Hides helplessness beyond repair
A parody of man,
Claiming greater pain
Where I grant the world my love,
I give myself disdain

Why, then, do I seek glory,
If man would soon forget?
For what cause am I exalted,
If they never comprehend?
Can wings grant me ascension
If their plumes will burn to ash?
Where revelation beckons me
Will I have the power to oblige?

This countenance I bear,
This visage that I wear,
Is but a mask that cloaks despair
A parody of man,
Claiming greater pain
Where I grant the world my love,
I give myself disdain

I will never be a sainted hero,
For a darkness fills my veins:
The perversion of my vanity,
The filth of its refrain

The causes of my servitude
Are traced to my ineptitude
Leaving me ashamed
Ambition deep inside of me
Will yield inside to vanity
Leaves myself to blame…

This world demands a hero,
To cast away its chains
A champion of rectitude
Who cannot be restrained

This countenance I bear,
This visage that I wear
A pale façade beyond compare
A parody of man
Claiming greater pain
Where I grant the world my love,
I give myself disdain

This world, it lacks a hero
While cities writhe in flames
Somehow, I hear it calling,
The message it contains:

“You can’t afford your servitude
No room left for ineptitude
You have no other choice
Cast away insanity
Be freed from what was vanity
In redemption, now, rejoice!”

This doubtfulness impaired,
My fortitude repaired,
Released from dark in which I was ensnared
Where hate will pressure onwards,
I will make its efforts vain
I have learnt to love myself
And rise above my pain

I know I am the hero,
Who shall cast away the chains
The one to ride on wings of dreams
And free humanity of pain

I shall raze those left to servitude,
And shatter all ineptitude
I will cry my heart’s refrain:
This love that burns inside of me
Stretches on for all infinity
I am bereft of my disdain

Comment on The Shack by Lindsey T

Hi everyone, I also read The Shack. I loved how this book was so unique. This is the first book I have ever heard about that talks about a man meeting God. The conversations Mack had with God seemed so real, like I was there with them. I think my favorite part was when Mack got the chance to walk on water with Jesus. That is something I have been wanting to do my whole life. Mack was very lucky. I also liked the garden Sarayu was planting. Mack kept saying this garden is beautiful, but it is a mess. Then, in the end, the garden ended up being Mack’s soul.

We are finally done with our creativity commitement and overall I don’t really think it helped my creativity out. It was really just really a relaxing and peaceful couple of weeks. I didn’t really have to many dreams that I could remember so that part of my commitement wasn’t too succesful. I should have tryed something different that would have challeneged me a bit more but I did enjoy doing this commitement.

Comment on Creativity Commitment by Brittany W.

Overall, I would say the commitment wasn’t a failure.

I found a new way to to keep my my mind in focus while doing homework. So that is always a plus. I don’t feel any more creative than I already was, but that’s okay. I will probably continue to listen to music to keep my mind focused, it works quite well.

The debating hasn’t made me feel any more creative, but I think it still helped me. The commitment said that it “exercises your brain”, and I can feel that. It also feels good to have someone see your opinion.

Ugh, procrastination.

When I have more time and I’m not so stressed about school, I think I’ll actually try doing the eating breakfast, excersicing, and 8 hours of sleep combination. I really think that could work for me, because I have such a funny sleep schedule and never have breakfast unless it’s a delayed start. I’m sort of upset that my commitment didn’t work out for me, though. I was so sure it would in the beginning. Then about a week and a half went by and I started to lose hope. So, maybe that’ll work.
