Hope the reading went well and you are at the end of Act 1. There will most likely be a quiz on Monday over Act 1.
For today, free blog. Whatever you would like to talk about as long as it makes sense and is at least 7 sentences.
Have a great weekend.

Well im basically really excited for our cheer invite in the morning. But we have to be there way too early, and its going to be super long. It's against 20 teams that are pretty good, so I am a little nervous for our team. But I have high hopes for our team that were gonna do great! They usually get pretty wild and me and rachel always shove people in the middle when they won't play the "cheer games" at the end. its way too funny and thats probablly my favorite part of the whole day. So good luck to us tomorrow I think were gonna de greatt! yippppeeeeee :D!
For the new year I had made the decision to cut off my yarn from communications camp for many reasons. It was actually pretty significant and symbolic when I did it which is not initionally what I expected it to be. It all started when the new year was days away and I decided like everyone else in the world, what the hell am I going to change about myself for the new year? Then I realized I needed to make it something reachable and meaningful. After thinking endlessly I realized that when I cut off my yarn I would be choosing to cut off things from my life that are weighing me down. Of course, a million things ran to my mind at that moment endless things I have been holding onto for so long that just need to be let go and done with, for good. I walk around everyday with a grudge with numerous past situations, and people. For once in my life I finally told myself this is the time. This is the time for me to finally drop it. Forgive it. Leave it on the floor, or in this case leave it with the yarn, and move on. I can't be one of those people who pretends that I can forgive and forget, because I know myself well enough to realize that I, will never be able to do that. But is it possible for anyone to really, honestly, forgive and forget? Is it really just that easy to erase from your mind people from all of your memories that have truely hurt you? If so, I think that everyone would do it right away, and as soon as possible. But it's just simply not that easy now is it? I am truely a big believer in forgiveness and not in the cheesy kind of sterotypical line from a terrible romantic movie way, but in the real life opening your heart to that volunerable and raw part people rarley get to have the oppurtunity to see. I made a promise to myself. A promise to never let people or past hurtful situations to drag me down any longer that continue to keep stealing my happiness but instead I will rise above it and prevail. With a strong will like I have used to stay away from sexual and alcoholic temptations, I am postive from deep down within my core that I can do this. Sure, my best friends may not be behind my back in the choices I choose to make on the weekends, or lack of choosing to do, but like I said in my last free blog I like to see things in the bigger picture. These choices I make are hardly simple or easy but I make them because I know this is who I am and I will not change my values for anyone who will not accept them, even if they are people I truely love and care about. Most people my age look down to me for not drinking, smoking or having sex. Most days it is unbearable that hurtful things my peers have said to me and it's hard not to get down on myself and give into temptation but I contiue to remind myself "it's worth it.rachel it's going to be worth it in the end.you can do this.believe." Belief and hope is key to my life today, yesterday, and tommorow. So here's to letting go of every grudge, everything in my past ever holding me back, every regret I used to have, and finally letting the hell go.

i hate it when you do this to us. the free blogs in a way are the hardest. but for mine, im gonna talk about an epiphany ive recently had. i mean it is so cliche to say these years go by so fast, and it just hit me; 10 months from today ill be 18, or an actual legal adult. i dont know how to even get through life, let alone manage for myself. i mean yeah, im thankful for my parents and everything they have given me. but im going to have to start for myself soon. i will no longer have to always do as they say, but i will never again have the shelter that they offer me. im going to have to start providing for myself. my own income, my own housing, my own jobs and my own family hopefully. lets hope that i wont be to bad at it. how cliche though, i still feel like a 14 year old kid, barely knowing anything about life, living sheltered and not experiencing life. lets hope for the best in the future.
Well, I don't really know what to blog about. Maybe a lengthy rant? Nah. Those usually incite most of the class and make me look like a total douché bag. Well, something that did piss me off is that we had to have all our relatives over for Christmas. I don't even know why we celebrate it anymore. I mean, my family is an odd conglomeration of religions and I told my mom that it seems rather rude and singular to celebrate only one. My unlce and his side of the family are Jewish, my cousins are Muslim, My grandmother and mother are Catholic, my other aunt Protestant... And I don't even have a religion. So, like I said, pointless in everyway except in having us all together. Maybe, we should switch off. This year, have Channukah, next year Iid, then just have a get-together and so-on. Well, I dunno. Something besides Christmas, which is getting boring and extremely old. School has been interesting since break ended. I managed to flood Mr. Verellen's room by setting off the sprinkler... Oh yeah, and the guy who came to tile our bathroom did a shitty job, so now we need to finish it. That's pretty much my life right now. That and oodles of homework from unforgiving teachers who I'm convinced are sadists.
Well i will talk abut my weekend. This weekend i am hanging with friends but i am also going to be very busy. Today i got to just hang out and relax a bit. Tommorow i have to get up early and go to dance. Then it is my good friends birthday and she is having a party. I will probably end up hanging out the whole entire day with everyone. The only bad thing is i have so much homework this weekend. I have lots of projects that are due monday and i just got them. Soon finals are going to be creeping up and i hate them so much. I am really bad at test taking. I always tend to second guess myself. Then the new semester begins which i am really excited for. I am glade to get different teachers and hopefully my grades will go up. So that is kinda a break down of whats been going on lately. I really like these free writings by the way.
I'm choosing to write about how I've recently been trying to improve my grades. For the most part, I give school a half-assed effort. Because of that, I usually get B-average grades. I've kind of realized that if I apply myself more, I could probably get all A's. Yesterday I actually stayed after school for help in my math class. This is something I never thought I'd actually do. I don't know if I had some kind of epiphany, but I'm glad I've chosen to do this for myself.
Tonight I'll write about my current passion in life: my music. Lately, I have been going to the Kozy Koffee cafe and playing live for audiences on an open mic night every Thursday, and the audience there really seems to like the material that I write. I'm also in the process of creating a CD of my own pieces, which I will share and give to many people including you, Mr. Kay. It seems ridiculous how often I play my guitar - sometimes for upwards of eight hours a day when I have nothing going on with friends and such, and sometimes I play until my fingers bleed. I love it all the same, though. I take pride in the fact that I've never had one lesson and never learned from anyone - I've learned everything that I know on my own and I think that this is truly the way to learn an instrument. Taking lessons sort of cramps your style and makes you play similar to the person that taught you, and it's also much less satisfying. Sure, I may not be the most technical player, but I really do enjoy myself each time I pick up the instrument. I plan on debuting my album, so to speak, within the next few months. Look forward to the release by Ryan Moore entitled "An Abstract Introspect". Have a fantastic weekend, Mr. Kay.

By the way, Scott that was really deep - so deep in fact that it inspired me to write a miniblog, so to speak, about myself. I understand that entirely. I fear for the day that I move out of my house and the day that I graduate high school. I depend on so many people that moving on to the next phase of life is going to be a very difficult adaptation. I don't have a license or a job, so in many ways I'm still a child, at least more so than many others that are my age. I'll triumph through it though, I know I will.
This blog i would like to talk about some sports. There was a debate on sportscenter that caught my eye. They were saying tim tebow was the best college qb ever. This really gets me upset. Because i am not a tebow fan he isnt even the best college player right now! And to say ever is rdiciulous. Like carry sanders is one of the best ever because of the things he had done. His records will never ever be broken because they are so dominate.
Im going to write about how the hockey team went to oxbow to read and hangout inside the classrooms with the kids. I went to Oxbow for elementary and I had the chance to see all my old teachers. The kids looked up to us which was cool. Also, they wanted autographs which was pretty cool to give out too.
I walked into my second grade teachers room and she didn't even reconigze me. It was pretty overwelming. Going back there made me relize that everything seems so much bigger when your smaller. I can remember when I thought that school was huge. I had alot of fun and hopefully I get a chance to do it again.
Well today I'm going to talk about my weekend. For this weekend I think I'm going sleding with my brother and uncle. My uncle bought some really big tire tubes so we are going sleding this weekend. I think after that we are going to buy my brother some shoes for wrestling. THen we will probably come back home and play video games for the rest of the weekend. I found a video store were it doesn't cost 10 dollars to rent a video game. So hopefully we can go and rent some new games. I really want to rent this game called pure. Its a game were you build atvs from the ground up. So I'm pretty sure that is all I'm doing this weekend.
I would like to talk about how funny the show Home Improvement is. I mean its like one of those shows where they can keep it clean and still poke at adult jokes and its so great. Tim Alan is one of the funniest actors I've ever watched. But then there is Will Smith. Fresh Prince of Bel Air is soooo funny and Will can act like a complete idiot and still it just makes you wanna laugh your ass off. He acts out like impressions of those kids in school that think they're hot shit, the smart ones, and the normal ones like down-to-earth more. I'de have to say Fresh Prince of Bel Air is the funniest show I've ever wathced besides George Lopez. That guy just does the funniest shit I've ever seen I cant even describe it so I'm done I guess. Peace.

Im not too sure what to say today. I think that the Israel thing is a big problem and i think it wont stop until the U.S. picks a side. Were useto this kind of pressure so why not get it over with. We get involved in so many wars and as of late we dont try to do this. It happens eventually though and i think we could do a big difference. I do know we still have troops in iraq and afganastan but we could send some into Israel instead. Not sure how many sentances im at now and im 9 minutes late, sorry about that. Oh by the way did you read my message about thursdays post? I'll be ready to do some reading back on monday.
My brother got a tattoo yesterday, and I think that Jay did a great job. After seeing my brother get one, I decided to get a tattoo with my birthday money. I went to the same guy my brother did. I choose to get my last name across my back. I'm proud of my heritage, and I like to show it. Next I am going to get a tattoo of my parents name in german across my wrists. My tattoo took four hours to complete, and I was very pleased with the end product. I am most likely going to go back to Jay for my next tattoo. I think tattoo's are a way for people to express themselves in their own way. My back is very sore, and I can not wait for it to heal so I can see what it really looks like.
My internet was down for the last couple days do to the weather, we got it back early this morning.
This weekend was one of the most boringest weekends ever! On friday, I had a field trip. I went to Henry Ford Community College to take a Business Professionals of America (BPA) test. I had two one-hour tests. I was there for twelve hours though! We had about five or six hours of sitting around. Three hours of awards ceremony and two hours of driving! That is twelve hours all together! On saturday, I hung out with my friend and we did nothing but talked all day. On sunday I went climbing-that was fun but it didn't take over the boredom of friday.
here is how my weekend went. I left school for shanty after fifth hour. Under the careful direction of Jeanie the GPS we stopped in West Branch and bought thirty dollars worth food. Around eight we arrived at the cabin and promptlly began to play monopoly and cranium. I owned everyone in monopoly by owning over half of the board and had a hotel on all of my properties. Finally around five in the morning we went to bed and woke up two hours later. After we woke up we signed in for the competition and began practice. This course was really screwed up and had no flow. Around noon it was time for everyone 13 and uder to go so i went and good some food. Two hours later when it was my turn i wass super cold and i just plain sucked and didnt even place. On the way home the next day we stopped at Sonic, which is the best place ever. That was my weekend in a nutshell
For my free blog I would like to talk about the NFL playoffs. So far they have very suprising. Baltimore has been playing like they are the best team in the AFC. I thought it was a good win they had over Tenessee but tenessee could have easily beaten them if they had less turnovers. For the NFC the team that has suprises me is the cardinals. There a team that finished 9-7 in the regular season and have now beat 2 very good teams to make it the the NFC championship agains the eagles. I think that the Eagles will win it easily though. On the other side I think that the steelers will win it. The superbowl will be between the eagles and the steelers and the steelers will win it.
