Week 31/32 Hudson Honors

I have reached my final blog. It is in my pleasure that I get to announce the following for the 2017/2018 Hudson Honors!

Most Interesting Part: The most interesting part for Comp/Novels is watching movies with our books. I thoroughly enjoy watching movies with books because 1- we get out of class for a few days to relax and 2- you never really realize how 2 different stories (books and movies/episodes) connect.

Hardest Part: The hardest part of Comp/Novels to me was reading The Catcher in the Rye. I fell behind in the reading portion because a lot was assigned to yourself and I never understood what was happening when we discussed.

Thing I Learned or Improved Upon the Most: I think, as most people would say is grammar. I couldn't enough say how much I've improved in that. I remember I didn't even know what an adverb was my sophomore year. Although it was tedious and made me want to rip my hair out, I greatly appreciate the 3 years I had to learn and attempt to perfect my grammar overall.

Favorite Memory: My favorite memory would have to be just sitting in class and random interruptions with bursts of laughter from Hudson. I think if there's one thing I will miss from high school, it would definitely be this.

Best Thing About Hudson as a Teacher: How enthusiastic and positive she can be even during hard or emotional times. Never fails to try and pump up the class on a boring quiet Monday. How much she cares for each student individually and pushes each of us to do our best and turn in our work. Also when she hints us in tests because, lord knows second guessing ourselves is toxic.

Thing Hudson Could Improve for Future Classes: Hudson could try to lessen the work load. This year wasn't too bad, but reading wise, to be completely honest, I barely read because there were too many chapters at a time or I just wasn't interested in the book. Plus the tiny words discourage me to read 3 chapters at a time because it makes me sleepy and there is just too much to read. 

Any Final Comments for Hudson: I am so glad that you've been my English teacher for 3 years. You have helped me, taught me, encouraged me, pushed me, and never gave up, for all 3 years. You have definitely made a mark in my heart, and will be a teacher I talk about in the future as a positive influence on me. Thank you, a million times, for being such a wonderful teacher to me.

Week 30 Senior Will

If I had to leave a will for the Juniors, I would give them the rest of my "oomf" for senior year. It's more than what they have anyways. They all have senioritis and need to slow down and be respectful. Just like in art with oil paints. A little goes a long ways. So that's one of the things I'm willing to them. The second thing I'm willing to them is an ounce of my respect. I think that will benefit most of them for the so fact that most of them are disrespectful to a lot of teachers and students. The third thing I'm willing to will to them is a little bit of knowledge. I think that if I willed this to them, they wouldn't cheat as much off one person. Their grades would also be higher if they actually took the time to learn instead of cheat. The last thing I'm willing them is some common sense. I think if they even had the tiniest amount, it'll benefit this entire nation. I think some of the teachers kind of enjoy their presence, but I think if they have all of this, they'll enjoy their presence even more.

Week 29: Words from the wise

Dear Juniors: Class of 2019,
       Greetings. If any of you are actually reading this somehow, and I hope that you are, I wanted to give you some advice for senior year.
       #1- Have fun. While you do have one year, it does go by pretty fast. Enjoy it while you can. I am writing this on 4/20 (hahah blaze it, jk) which means I have exactly one month left. It seems like a while ago I was counting down 8 months, then 7 months etc. Make do with what you have while it lasts. Some of you will still be with each other after high school, going to the same school. Some of you however, will be leaving for good. Make friends, make memories, and have fun.
       #2- Do your work. While you do have one year left, DO YOUR WORK. Don't fall behind. If you're like me, you would have had senioritis already. When I was a junior, towards the end of my year, I was getting senioritis watching my boyfriend graduate. In all reality, most of you technically wont be done with school. Think about it, you still have college. That mentality mostly helped me get through this year. Help yourselves and your teachers, don't fall behind, and do your work.
       #3- Be on time. Ya'll have a senior trip at the end of your year. You need to make sure you don't get too many tardies and you don't miss too much school. This also follows doing your work and senioritis, just show up to school, cause you will miss something from high school. Make do with what you have and help yourselves.
       #4- College and scholarships. DO THEM. Apply apply apply. DO IT EARLY. Trust me, its so hard to try to get it done later. If you apply to college early, great. Even if you don't know what you want to do. Scholarship wise, DO THEM ALLLLLL. Get as much money as you can. You'll need it.
       #5- This will be tiny things to help you.
                                         - Music: For me, being emotional as I am, this helped me SO MUCH in general throughout high school as a whole.
                                         - Gum: This is great after lunch when ya'll have nasty breath. You wont get  weird looks and people wont mind talking to you cause you wont be gross.
                                         - SHOWER: At times, you will go through lazy phases, but if you wake up and take a shower each morning or the night before, you will feel a lot fresher and be more prepared. Even dress up nicely.
                                         - Treat yo'self: Once in a while, you really do need to treat yourself               throughout senior year. You're a hard worker. You have a job, some might have sports or the play or other activities. Go with a couple other tense friends and treat yourself a little.
                                         - DO NOT DROP OUT: I can not express that enough. I don't care how        tough things get, don't drop out. The long term is gonna cost more than the short term. Just finish your schooling. You have less than one year. Do your work and be done.
       Finally, this is your last year. Finish it well. Good luck! I'm here if ya'll need help.

Week 28 Weirdest Compliment

I receive many many weird compliments. I go to a high school full of weird people too. People at our school have complimented me on my elbows, my skin, and even my pudgy tummy. Some people are legit about it but I feel like most of the time its a joke. If a guy was trying to make fun of me but in a sarcastic comment way out in public, I would probably accept it and take it as a legit compliment or I would say a weird compliment back because of the people at my school. I think one of the best compliments I receive is when someone tells me I am doing an amazing job at the task I'm doing at that moment. I like my work being recognized because it makes me feel like I'm doing something right. It kind of gets interesting with mixed feelings when someone gives you a nice but funny compliment. "You look beautiful today. You're wenis is really poppin' today"

Week 27 Professional Shania?!?

I would love to be a Geropsychologist for a day.
   1. I would know if I want to do that job.
   2. I would know what I would have to perfect and or focus on more for that job too.

I think you would definitely need an education for this job. You would need strong communication skills and an optimistic view to aid your patients. If you're upset while you're with your patients, it could make them upset as well. I think you would need extensive knowledge on cognitive diseases and late life, considering that you are working with elders. You'll also have to be able to think of programs and what not for your patients based on their wants and needs. I think this job would be a little difficult to do, but I think I can handle it.

Week 26 Unlimited Time and What I Could Do?

I was just granted unlimited time.
I would love to learn many many instruments, such as the violin, piano, Chinese bamboo flutes, harp, guitar, ukulele, different types of drums, and so on.
I would love to master different types of mediums such as colored pencils, ink, pottery, charcoal, oil, etc.
I would love to get an education in medical and psychology.
I would love to travel the WHOLE world and see all the abandoned parts, landmarks and 7 wonders etc.
I would love to perfect my photography and editing.
I would love to experience thrilling things like skydiving, hiking mountains, bungee jumping, and cliff diving etc.
I would love to earn a lot of money and get a big house full of things that I love to do.

Week 25 The cure of senioristis

After countless hours of research, I am proud to say that I have found the cure for senioritis. Some symptoms of senioritis include:
  • Laziness
  • Skipping classes
  • Failing to study
  • Failing to write coherent papers
  • Disinterest in school activities
  • Being distracted easily off school work
  • Having a hard time staying awake
To treat this dreaded senioritis, you can do as follows:

  • Setting goals to G R A D U A T E
  • Treat yo'self
  • Practice walking in your cap and gown
  • Take selfies with your buds counting down the days
  • Talk your feelings out
  • Pet an animal
Finally, with that being said, we only have 64 days left total til we graduate.

Week 24 My favorite Toy

My favorite toy as a kid varied. When I was really young I liked to play Hot Wheels with my brother. Then I went to Barbies and Bratz dolls. I had furniture and many many dolls. I also cut their hair because I thought it would grow back. Then as I got a little older I became obsessed with Little Pet Shop. I bought a place for them, I have over like 40 little pets. I remember being excited when I had 6 dollars, cause I'd buy another one. I slowly faded away from toys when I was about 10. Then I would play outside and go to the park and hangout with friends.
