First Month of High School

Old Friends New Friends
Have made some new friends but I have kept the old because I have many friends and friends are essential to life as we know it. Any lost friends can shatter the brink of reality and leave you helpless.

SHS Activities Attended
I tend to only go to soccer games and the occasional football games. Also I plan to the Global Float to provide a win. Also I plan to go to all the varsity football and soccer playoff games.

Funniest, Weirdest, Scariest Moments
When I got locked out the school and also wondering the halls after school is really weird, they are still full of life and people working there hardest to finish there after school ideas, and floats. Also when I got locked out on the first day of school and waited out there for at least 20 minutes.

Hardiest, Easiest Class and Assignments
The hardest assignment was the first cultural event because it was so unexpected and I really didn’t know how to do it and the event was a while away. But overall I got a good grade on it.

Top Five Current Events
Scientists discovered Ardi in Africa, Iran is claiming that they aren’t making missiles but everyone thinks they are, Livonia Public Schools are losing 4.9 million because the Granholm thinks it will be better for the budget, Barack Obama won the noble peace prize, and the runoff election in Afganistan.

Faces in the News
Ardi the major link in human to ape evolution, Hamid Karzia, and Abdullah Abdullah in the runoff election are some major faces in the news. Also Obama won the noble peace prize for his work in peace in the Middle East.

Interesting New Words
Loquacious from Walkabout and prehensile is one I got wrong last quiz. Also you could say I’m very lethargic in the morning. Plus Walkabout has provided a verity of new words to our vocabulary.

Popular or Memorable Songs
“Yellow submarine” by the Beatles is very memorable because I listen to it almost every day. Also “Don’t stop believin’” by Journey has been becoming more and more popular lately. Also “London Calling” by the Clash has been a favorite lately.

Popular or Memorable Movies
The last Harry Potter came out also there is lots of buzz about “Zombieland”. Where the wild things are I don’t want to see because it might ruin the original story.

Rumors and Gossip
Most of the Gossip is just “who’s going out with who” and “he didn’t just break up with her”. I really stay out of gossip, gossip isn’t a fun thing to get into.

Fads and Trends
I think flannel is in but I’m not going out just to buy a whole new wardrobe just to fit in and look “cool”. I tend to just wear a hoody and a t-shirt, and shorts or jeans.

First Cultural Event
Once I turned in my cultural event I was a breath of fresh air because it really shocked me on how hard it was. I went to Fort Meigs in Ohio, it was really fun because after my family went out to eat then to a Mudhens game.

Homecoming
I went and it was really fun because I hung out with a few friends and also the music choice was awesome. I saw many people I knew but they had dates, maybe next year I will go with a girl. Also the football game was great with a blow out of forty two to ten.

Advice for a Freshman
Just keep on top of things don’t joke around. Bring a ipod on the bus and try to have a cell phone to help you. Also make lots of friends and don’t make your teachers hate you. Also try to be on time the worst is getting a tardy and having to serve a detention.

What I’m Looking Forward to…
To just making it through the year and to just keep up my grades. Also I plan to get to know much more people. Also I need to study harder and not freeze up on a test.

Other noteworthy Achievements or Events Moments
I got locked out of the school and also I haven’t got a detention yet. I also went to the homecoming and the dance that was good. I spent much more time with my friends on weekends than last year, also card nights on Friday are really fun.

Culture

American culture is a blend of everything in the world with some spice of our own. Many people play football and baseball, these are considered American sports. Food is another thing people like hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, and Soda. TV shows tend to have fat, uncaring Dads and Moms that do everything but get along with the Dad plus at the end of the show no one important dies. Many Americans like a certain college and the adult raises the kid to like that certain college. Most Americans that like a certain college have rivalries but still have people parties and when their team loses then they get mad and yell at the TV. To sum up Americans have a sense of entitlement for colleges and love the comedy that is the Simpsons and Family Guy, food, and sports are a major blend of our culture.
My culture is mostly American with some German and British. Considering my name is British and my Dads been to Britain and has heard my name many times and it took getting used to, I tend to drink tea on occasion and much of British cuisine is like Americas but the emphasize on Breakfast more. I eat fast food at least once every two weeks. Also I really enjoy the home cooked meals and the occasional stir fry and ribs on the grill. My German heritage is usually shown on my Dads side considering I play soccer and my great grandma makes German food like potato salad and glace (dumplings). Also I am very picky when it comes to new foods also I have trouble eating other cultures food. Whenever I eat something new I always either like it or hate it. Much of my family is picky especially my dad, I think that’s where I get it from.
