"Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc."
My weekend started really well, but ended up turning bad on Sunday. Friday evening I just ended up relaxing at home, hanging out with my older brother. We watched our favorite show on Netflix, Trailer Park Boys. On Saturday I started my first shift at my new job as a hostess and Fox and Hound English Pub. After I got off at 9, I headed over to my friends Ally's house for a sleepover. We ate a bunch of junk food and watched the movie Gone Girl. Ally has a sleepover room in her basement where there are two bunk beds for us. When I got up on Sunday morning, I must have forgot that we were sleeping in the bunk bed room. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood up and hit my head right on the metal bar of the top bunk. It hurt really badly. I went home and thought that i'd just have a headache for an hour or so but that wasn't the case. The pain kept growing and growing. In an attempt to cure myself from the headache, I took a three hour nap. When I woke up, the pain was excruciating. There was so much pressure in my head and walking around for more than 30 seconds made my head throb so much that I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. My parents rushed me to the ER to get it checked out. We ended up spending 5 hours in the ER waiting to get me a CT scan of my head. It ended up checking out okay, the doctor said that I just have a bad concussion. It definitely wasn't how I expected my weekend to end.

"Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?"
What I tend to do when I have a lot of things to do it shut down and not get any of them accomplished. I'll have so much to do that I don't even know where to start and it gets overwhelming! Between school, trying to find a job, spending time with family, homework, and trying to balance a social life, it's hard to get every school assignment finished, or even enough sleep for that matter. Teachers assign so many meaningless or "busy work" assignments that seem like just a waste of time, so I'll either not do them or put little to no effort into them. Assigning work that takes hours doesn't help me learn the lesson and isn't doing the students any justice. Its cruel and unfair. Teenagers are expected to join clubs, sports teams, extra curricular activities, have a social life, have a job to save money for college, and spend time with family. Where is the time to relax, sleep, and actually enjoy our teenage years? Teachers should focus more on teaching the work in class and being productive in the eight hours of the day that we put aside for school. If teachers would just condense all of the assignments and projects they give us, our lives would be so much better and we would probably be more likely to put effort into our school work. Cut the bullshit out of school, we don't need to color or how to cut and glue things onto a poster to know the subject matter. I'd rather just write a few paragraphs about what I'm supposed to know and learn rather than color pictures and make a poster.
If I didn't have to take these unnecessary "requirements" to graduate school, I could focus more on subjects that I'm going to actually use in my life like math, reading, and sciences. I shouldn't have to take art classes, cooking/sewing, PE (especially because I played two sports for school during freshman year), or any of the other classes that the school district makes us take in order to be "qualified" to attend college. I'd much rather have a more open schedule to take classes that I plan on entering a career field relevant to them. Honestly, I'll never be an artist or an athlete so why should I have to take those classes, which increase my school work load greatly, when I could be taking business classes or learning about real-world things that high school doesn't teach me? It seems like a huge load of shit and waste of my time. A lot of things students have to do in high school is just bullshit. We're not in elementary school, we don't need to know how to color in the lines or how much glue to use; we need to know how to open up a new bank account, manage our finances, how to take out a loan, etc. Not everyone has responsible parents to teach them these things, therefor it should be added to the common core curriculum, and the unnecessary subjects shouldn't be requirements anymore. We should be able to personalize our education to our needs and future. It would increase student's focus on the important classes, increasing grades as well.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.
My weekend was actually pretty great! Friday night I went out to dinner with my parents, brother and grandpa at Oklahoma Joe's. After dinner my mom and I went swim suit shopping for my Spring Break trip to San Diego.
On Saturday morning/early afternoon, I went fishing with my friend Steven at Lenexa Lake. Sadly, we didn't catch anything because it's a little too early for the fishing season. Saturday evening, I went out to dinner at Kyoto's with Ally, Hannah, and Sam to celebrate Ally's birthday. After that, I went and saw American Sniper. I really enjoyed it, it's probably the best movie I've seen.
I slept in until about noon yesterday. My dad and I took our dogs to the dog park. It was such a beautiful day so of course it was really crowded at Shawnee Mission Park. When we got home my dad and I played catch. I also cleaned up my DeMarini softball bats to get them in good shape to sell them on craigslist. To finish up our Sunday, my parents and I went to Jose Pepper's for dinner. My weekend was pretty great!

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN
Email is a form of communication through the internet. People use email for business, to get a longer message out to many people at the same time, to send pictures, and for a more proper way of communicating. Emailing is definitely a more formal way of communication; you use complete sentences and proper grammar.
