Spring Break

The first week of my vacation was hard to get through. My moms boyfriends son was visiting. He wouldn't leave me alone, he was the most worst 12 year old ever. He told me that if he remembered his camera, he would have taken pictures of me while I'm sleeping. Which I thought was creepy. When I responded "I'll just lock my door." he told me that he has a pick lock set and could open it. At one point he kept trying to hit me and would not leave my room when I told me to, and he kept talking back, so I pushed him out of my room at the same time he was trying to hit me, then I pushed him to the ground. He just made me so mad, then he ran and told my mom in a winy voice but I didn't get in trouble or anything.
          The second week of spring break was so much better compared to the first. My mom and I went down to Vancouver. I had a good time, I got to visit family, and went shopping in Metro Town for a prom dress. We went to so many stores and I was getting tired of shopping, then of course the last store we look in I find one I like. My break wasn't amazing but I did enjoy the second week of it.

Assignment #5

I think the English language is in a way being lost. Is it because of text messaging? I think it has more to do with evolution. How people are just changing as well as our surroundings. A while ago I remember hearing about how we only know about 2000 words, and now that we only use 800. It depends on the person as well, as there are still many people that do not take short cuts when talking or texting. One of the main reasons for me is that there is so much a person has to do in a day now. If there is a way you could make something easier or faster then why not. I don’t think we should put blame on text messaging. Text messaging in my opinion is very useful. If you have a quick question or need to remind people of something you can and it’s easy. However there are negatives. On the news, were a couple that texted each other the whole day. They live in the same house, but would only talk face to face for about five minutes a day. The rest they would text. I think that in a way it does push people away from each other. There are a lot of miss interpretations and it’s hard to say something sarcastic. Sometimes you can’t really say what you want to. I do think that texting has some relations to the English language getting worse. However Language is meant for communicating with one, another and as long as that’s happening I don’t think it’s  a big deal as long as people know how to properly speak and write, and are just using socially its fine.

After I Graduate

I'm not sure exactly what I want to do after I graduate. I'm thinking going to school at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, to become a social worker, take some courses in child and youth care, and preferably starting later in January. My mom, aunt, and uncle went there, and now my aunt teaches there. It would also be easier because my mom and I own a condo there.

Album Of The Year

I think that Katy Perry should have won, as she’s a great artist. I like her album because I enjoy most of her songs not just a few. She has sold many albums and has won about thirteen awards and has been nominated for many others. Her music covers many topics. One of the reasons why I enjoy it so much is because she has songs that cover lighter topics, songs that you can listen to and just have fun and relax with. I think that’s good to have music like that because there is so much stress and things going on in our lives that it’s good to have something that’s in a way an escape. She also sings about topics with deeper meanings, that many people can relate to.

Doritos

The ground began to shake, suddenly a boy with a Darth Vader costume walks in. The room went quiet. The lady stood stunned.  As the Darth Vader walked closer the two men began to sweat and tremble it was obvious all feared him. The men knew where their true fate lied.  The two men then provided a chip for him to taste. As the boy lifted up his mask to taste he showed no emotion. After putting the mask back on he gently placed his hands in a unique position in front of him. It was the moment of truth. Using the force, the onion ring n’ketchup set fire leaving nothing but ash. The boy used the force once more so the buffalo wings n’ranch would be in his hands. He then gave a nod to the lady and walked out. The lady then called for a guard to throw the younger man in prison. The man then started to cry and plead but nothing could be done.

A picture is worth 1000 words


I took this picture on an island while on vacation in Costa Rica. It was a lot work to get there. First we went from place to place comparing prices until we found the best one. It sounded pretty good our own private boat with lunch and snorkelling included. When we got to the beach where we would take the boat but when we got there the owner said we couldn’t use a credit card to pay, when the day before we asked if we could and he said yes. We drove all the way back to town which was an hour drive. Once we returned we looked at the boats as we waited. We there were many boats however ours was the smallest, a little fishing boat. It was a rough journey there, although it was beautiful there was somewhat of a storm coming and the waves were growing bigger. It took about an hour. Once we arrived it was beautiful and there were few others there, although it was too rough for snorkelling, and lunch was not as good as promised, we still enjoyed ourselves. Later a bigger cruise ship arrived with more people.  As the day came to an end the wind grew stronger, our fishing boat that we had arrived on got loose and was pushed to shore. We couldn’t take it back. Luckily the captain of the cruise ship said we could go back with them. The owners of the fishing boat decided to stay overnight on the island. The cruise ship was nice, it was way bigger and it had a hot tub and pool on the top, and the best part was that it was free.
