I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND A FEW DAYS DOING A FREE WRITE. I LIKE WRITING ABOUT ANY TOPIC AND NOT HAVING ANY CRITEREA. IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ME TO EXPRESS WHAT I AM THINKING. AND AFTER WE ARE DONE THE FREE WRITE, THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SHARE CAN SHARE TO THE CLASS. THAT IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO.

assignment 5

before the year ends i would like to make sure that i am caught up in all classes. i would also like to improve my effort academically.i would like to improve my grades and try to better my relationships with my teachers. especially mr.bonnett because its his last year teaching at oss. i am going to try hard to achieve these goals and work towards them. that is how i am going to try to make grade eight more memorable.

In my poetry anthology I chose the song In The End by Linkin Park. I chose this song because i like the way it sounds and i think it has a good message to it. in my opinion, the message of the song is that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't get everything that you want. But that doesnt mean dont try. Because if you dont try then you wont know if you could've achieved what you were trying to achieve.
My top five favorite songs right now are In The End by Linkin Park, Woah Is Me by Down With Webster, Take A Minute by K'naan, Photograph by Nickleback and Maybe by Sick Puppies. I like these songs because they all sound good and they all have meaning to them. When i like a song i usually listen to it alot and try and memorize the words to the songs i like so i can sing along to the songs i like because i like them. for example, i listened to the song take a minute by k'naan thirty seven times in one day trying to memorize the lyrics so i could sing along to it. also, when i like a song and i dont understand a part of it i like to listen to it until i understand it and i think about it until i know what the artist is trying to say. i have memorized the lyrics to take a minute by k'naan, woah is me by down with webster and in the end by linkin park. i just recently listened to my first lnkin park song and i instantly liked it. after that i went on my laptop and listened to as many songs by likin park as i could. i really like them and i think they are a great band.

creativity

      I liked the video. I thought it was creative. I especially liked how the thing was able to make a car out of a box. I would rate the video 7.75 out of 10. I would rate my creative abilities a 6 out of 10. The reason I rate myself so low is because i have trouble coming up with interesting stories that fit the criteria for the assignment that i am working on. I hope to better my creativity skills in the future.

my 2010 most memorable moment

     I honestly don't have just one memory of the year 2010. I had the best summer of my life. Cameron, Mathew and I had a blast last summer going bridge jumping every day. We decided to act like complete idiots all summer by doing stuff like jumping off Breanna's deck onto her trampoline.
     I also really enjoyed Christmas break. I went to Victoria to spend time with my dad. While there, we went to a place called Wildplay. It's basically a really huge, outdoor junglegym with three hundred ft long zipplines and monkeybars that are suspended over eighty feet in the air. There is three levels of the corse starting with blue (the easiest), then red (medium) and then black (advanced). Me, my cousin and my two uncles made it through the entire corse, starting on blue and finishing black. Some obsticles were so unbelievably hard that I'm still not sure how we managed to make it across them.
     One of my most memorable moments of 2010 was our hockey tournament in Merritt. We had such a great time! We ended up winning the entire tournament. During the time that we weren;t playing hockey we went to DQ and played on the playplace until the manager kicked us out. Then we went to McDonalds at eleven o'clock pm and ordered a DoubleMcgangbang. It's a burger with four patties, two chiken patties, eight buns and the works. Jarod Street (a player on my team) and I ate the burger in three minutes and fourty seven seconds while my brother videotaped it.
     2010 was a great year. I have to say that it was probably one of the most memorable years for me. I look forward to see what lays ahead in the year 2011.
