Inanimate Object

If I could compare myself to an inanimate object it would have to be a set of stairs. I am like a set of stairs because just like there are steps to the top on stairs, I complete any task because I organize my task into steps. This helps my mind become less cluttered and I finish my task more easily. For example, when I do my homework every night, I organize my tasks into steps like this:

1: Math

2: AP Euro

3: English

4: Spanish

5: Chemistry

6: Band practice.

This way helps me a lot. You see, if you just think in your head about what you have to do, and not what you are going to do first and at what time, then your mind becomes unorganized and you cannot complete your goal as easily or fast. Usually, when I write down my homework step by step with the times, I don’t get off track as easily and I complete my homework faster and better. If you do your homework by just thinking about what you haven’t done yet, than you jumble up your tasks and are unorganized. I am like stairs because I can do tasks step by step.

Procrastination

I have a problem with procrastination. I just can't seem to do my homework until later in the night. I just don’t have an interest in my homework and I cant seem to get on top of it and do it earlier. It relieves a lot of stress to do your homework ahead of time, so you don’t have it hanging over your head the whole day. When I do this, I feel a lot better, but my procrastination problem seems to be getting worse the past few days. I remember when I was in sixth grade, and I would be excited to do my homework every night and I would do it right away and have lots of time after. This is how I want it to be now, but I just cant because I have lost interest in most of my homework. Procrastination can affect your life a lot. You can lose sleep over it, if you don’t get something done on time, and if you have a more serious case, your grades can slip heavily. I don’t have this serious of a case, but I still notice that I procrastinate from time to time. I'm working on getting better though, and hopefully by the end of the year I will be doing my homework right after school.

The Office

If you know me, you know that I am a very big fan of the office. It is my favorite show because it combines hilarious humor with an interesting storyline. I am so big of a fan, that I know things about the show that not many others do, like every characters names, even the ones in the background, such as Luanne, who is seen from time to time in the office. Season 1 of The Office began on March 24, 2005 on NBC. It is based on the BBC series created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and developed for American television by Greg Daniels. The show still runs today, with four seasons finished and 65 episodes. The Office begins the fifth season on Thursday, September twenty-fifth at Eight o clock with an hour long premiere episode called Weight Loss. Weight Loss (AKA Summer) is about what happened over the eight weeks of summer in the office. Also, Dunder Mifflin weight loss initiative causes the branch to diet and become obsessed with their weight, while Michael pursues a friendship with his new HR rep, Holly. Also, Jim misses Pam who attends art school in New York, and last but not least Dwight, Andy, and Angela attend to unfinished business (love triangle).

A Journey I Intend to Take

I intend to take a journey learning new languages. I have always been interested in speaking a different language. In school, I take spanish, and I intend to take spanish all the way through college.
I want to learn different languages because I would like to travel to many different countries. I am very interested in experiencing foreign culture. I went to Germany, Austria, France, Luxembourg, and Belgium over the summer and got to experience peoples lifestyles there. By learning a new language, I could communicate to people all over the world, and get a feel for their different cultures. The world is so diverse and full of excitement that if we don't explore, we will not know what we are missing. Also, If you want to explore, you should learn new languages so that you can communicate with the people who live in the places you visit.
In my life, I want to go to every continent on earth. I also want to learn new languages so that I can get the most out of my experiences in these unique places.

Blog Expectations

My name is John. this is my super cool blog, which i wil pesonalize and make my own (but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the english language.
The expectation for this assignment is that i post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on text that i am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines ,movies , internet articles, television shows, trips to museums, etc.
Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8 am on that Wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. Taht makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points each quarter and are graded holistically (meaning theres no specific grading rubric). I also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what i have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
