Ciara's Say

Creative Writing

2005-12-09T11:06:00.000-08:00

Creative writing is a very fun class. You also have fun learning in here. We have done so much in the past couple of months. I even learned how to do poems. I'm this old and just now learning how to make up a poem. All along I didn't know that it was that simple. I've also learned the stressed and unstressed syllables. I'm not going to say that this class was easy because it weren't. I was even thinking about getting my class changed at the beginning of the school year because I felt like it was too complicated for me. But i learned that if you pay attention, you would find yourself doing just fine. Overall, I really like this class and I wouldn't mind taking it again or a class similar to it.

Blogging...

2005-12-09T10:52:00.000-08:00

I personally feel that blogging was pretty cool. It was also interesting. Blogging help people express their feelings better. The reason for that is because they don't have to give their real names or information out. I really don't have any deep secrets, so it didn't do much for me. But on other people behave they may have felt that this was really helpful.

Something I like about blogging is that you could get responses back from other bloggers. That's really exciting to me. But overall, I really enjoy blogging.

After high school

2005-12-05T10:59:00.000-08:00

After high school I plan on going straight to college.Well, I plan on taking the summer off and just chill for that little minute. Once the fall come, I hope to be in Deakonis, which is a school of nursing. That's if I get accepted in there. If that don't work out, I'll go to a community college. Anyway, I plan on being a 4 year nurse. After that I want to afford a big house and a nice car. So that's how I plan for my future to be.

Next week

2005-12-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

Next week I'm going to be pretty excited. Next Friday will be my last day up in this class. Overall, I did enjoy this class. Well, to be honest, when I first started this class I thought that it was going to be hard. That made me want to exchange my class with something else. But I grew to really like this class. I've learned so much. I wish to take a class similar to this one next semester. I'm really going to miss this class.

Article: Student's Being Banned

2005-11-21T11:32:00.000-08:00

This particular article was about students being banned from blogging. I feel that it isn't fair to the ones who know how far to go on blogging. Yes, it is pretty dangerous because you could put too much information on your blog. Someone could then track you down somehow and do anything. The reason that I feel that they shouldn't ban the students from blogging is becuase I feel that it is the teacher's responsibility to tell them all how far they could go on blogging. So, that's how I feel about this whole situation.

Poem: Heat Wave

2005-11-21T11:14:00.000-08:00

"Crack" was what I heard
Because the sun was a chariot of fire
I was so hot, I could have melted
"Splash" is what I heard in the water
Most animals tried to hide from the sun under the water
Everything looked perfect outside from the inside
The river was running the water the rocks
My bow-wow laid under the trees for air
It seemed that nothing can make it go away
What's weird is that if you looked on the ground it would look wet
But I knew that it was nothing but the heat
The chariot of fire seemed to have gotten worse by the minute
I brought my dog inside and cut the fan and television on
There was breaking news at the bottom of the screen
That's when I realized that there was a heat wave out-doors

today

2005-11-21T10:57:00.000-08:00

Today I plan on going to the mall once I get home from school. Then when I get there I 'll head straight to Subway. From there, I'll go to American Eagle and Famous. Once I get done shopping, I'm going to go home and do my homework. After that I'm going to eat something, and then head to sleep afterwards. So, that 's what I plan on doing today.

Today

2005-10-17T11:32:00.000-07:00

Today I didn't have to do much in my classes. I have to say that my school day has gone by mighty fast. Now the only class I have to go to is Food and Nutrition. That's the class where I cook in. Anyway, when I leave from that class, I getting on my bus and going straight home. When I get there I'm going to work. Once I leave from there I'll be heading straight to the mall. I'm going to get something from American Eagle or Famous. Once I leave from there I'm going to go home and get ready for the next day. That's how I plan for my day to go.

Newspaper article: Modern Diaries

2005-10-17T10:55:00.000-07:00

This aticle is pretty interesting. College students from different colleges posted some things. They were saying that they use to have diaries, but now they are turned to a blog. When you're young you don't realize that many things that you write about in your diary isn't so personal or important. The older you get, you see that half of those things could go onto a blog. You could let people from over the world read it.

Blogging is pretty cool because you could express your feelings on it without anyone knowing who you are. That's what many people do. Diaries were once very personal, but now people post their diaries on the internet, but anonomously.

Parkway also have a policy. It states: When a student in the Parkway School District gets on the Internet and makes a threat or expresses suicidal thoughts, school personnel handle it as they would if that student had written a note to a friend saying such things: They pull the student into the office and call the parents. I agree to that policy. I feel that every school district should have a policy like that because it could be much more serious than you think.

Beautiful/ugly

2005-10-11T11:32:00.000-07:00

That particular story was pretty interesting. I say that because you would of thought the killer was someone who really adores a certain woman. It was something like that but kind of opposite. He killed the woman while she was ice skating. The killer was spying on her. I guess that he was obsessed over her. Anyway, 5 policemen tried to come to him and arrest him, but he killed them all. Overall, that story was very unique.

My Creative Writing Class

2005-09-23T10:51:00.000-07:00

My creative writing class is very cool.I like this class because it gives me an opportunity to be creative. Most of the time I can express the way I feel in stories. This class also increases my ability of being a better writer. This class is also fun. I say that because my teacher is very nice and fun, also. We can work on the computers for most of our class assignments. So overall, this class is really exciting, and I hope that I can take it next semester.

Hurricanes

2005-09-22T10:58:00.000-07:00

I really don't know what's going on, but there are all of a sudden so many hurricanes occurring all over the world. Ever since "Hurricane Katrina" came around, I've been seeing many other hurricanes and bad storms everywhere. One of the new hurricanes is "Hurricane Olivia", which was also bad. I don't think this hurricane was as bad as "Hurricane Katrina", but I do know it was bad. Anyway, I want to know why hurricanes keep all of a sudden occurring. I wonder if it has anything to do with how the weather keep changing.

Anyway, I'm so glad that we can't get hurricanes down here because I would'nt know what to do if one ever came. For one thing, I can't swim. So that's a reason why everyone should learn how to swim becuase you never know when a terrible incident may occur.

Overall, you should always be prepared for the worst.

My School

2005-09-20T10:57:00.000-07:00

My school is pretty cool. Well at least I could say that now. When I first started going here, which was 2nd semester of last school year, I didn't like it. The students up here were very sweet and kind to me, but I still felt like I didn't belong here. Coming from a city school and going to a county school is a dramatic change. Everyone out here seemed to be pretty weird to me. Students up here were on "different pages from me". What I mean by that is that they done things a little different from me, who was once city school student. Anyway, I guess that I didn't like this school too much because I missed my old school and friends.They were very cool and kind, also. So, the end of the school year came around and I was so glad that I can't even explain it.

School started back up, and I'm back in here. This year seems much better because I am able to meet more new people and plus the people I met last year. It's also my senior year, so I'm really enjoying it. So, I have to say that my school is pretty cool.

If anyone can relate to this, please write me back A.S.A.P.

How I feel about the BLOG

2005-09-14T11:26:00.000-07:00

I agree to everything in the rules. I feel that it's very safe not to put your school and all your information on here. I say that because if you do put all of your correct information on here, there are many people who would try to do illegal things. They may try to stalk you or anything. It's very dangerous. So I truely agree to the whole rules list.

If we were to put our real info on here, there would be a big confusion. You would be wondering how this particular person know so much about you. Whoever thought to put false info on blog is a genius, but not literally. Also, the blog is a nice way to express the way you feel about many things, so I like it a lot.

Being a KID

2005-09-14T11:04:00.000-07:00

When I was a young little girl, I had so much fun. As a kid, I would run around outside and do many other fun and exciting things. Now, since I'm much older, all I do is go to school, home, work, and the mall. Yes, going to the mall is pretty exciting to me, but playing outside with your friends still seemed like much more fun as a child. Anyway, I feel like I don't have anytime for myself, now. When I was young I use to play in the mud and make mud and pizza pies. I also use to play stuck in the mud, house, freeze tag, etc. Growing up is a pretty interesting thing to go through, but still being a kid is still more fun than anything else in the world.

When you are a kid, you do "kiddie" things. You don't worry about how you look, dress, or act, you just be you. All of those things come up on you when you get up in age to the point were you want to attract others. You look, dress, and act a certain way so that they wouldn't get talked about.

Well, to sum everything up, I personally miss being a kid. So if anyone can or can not relate to what I'm saying, please write me and tell me why you agree or disagree to being a kid.

Hurricane Katrina

2005-09-09T11:20:00.000-07:00

Hurricane Katrina, which took place in New Orleans, was one of the scariest things I've ever seen on the television. It was so terrifying. I feel very sad for the people that got caught in it. After the hurricane, those people didn't have any thing to eat, sleep, or drink for days. There were people caught on tape stealing out of stores. They were taking many things like televisions, food, drinks, etc. The sad thing about that was most of them got into trouble for it. I feel that they should have gotten whatever they wanted at that point of time. Although there were some people taken a vanage of the incident in the wrong way. There were females getting raped by males. I personally feel that that was pretty ignorant.

Anyway, if you are related to anyone that was in that terrible incident, or even want to talk about it overall, feel free to write me. You could sat what and how you feel about the whole situation.
