My weekend has turned out to be very eventful. On Friday i had track practice until 4:30, then i went home and laid around for a little while. Then, i was driven back to school, and i watched the soccer/basketball game. Which was really fun, but both lost. On saturday, I had a track meet all day, and i tried to get some homework done, but it was very difficult. The reason why was because everyone keep on cheering on their team. I have to admit the track meet was a ton of fun.
Today my mom, sister, and I are all going to Mandeville for one of my old gymnastic coach's bridal shower. I have to admit i think this will be my funnest event of the weekend. The reason is because i get to see all of my old teammates that i have not seen in about 2 years. Then, after the bridal shower is over i will come back home, and finish the rest of my homework.

Global Issues
Instead of reading The Lost Hero this week, I have been working on my issue research paper. Which, is coming along okay. Sometimes, I just wish all of the information would just pop up right in front of my face. The hardest part i think about this process is sorting through all of the databases, and finding the right information. What i began to see in all of my information it was sort of all the same, which would not help me in the long run.
What i have decided to do this weekend is trying and find all of the information that is necessary. I have been successful so far, and i am going to keep finding all the information, so that i can get a grade that is what i deserve.

Tuesday: 60 minutes research
Wednesday: 60 minutes research

Total= 180 minutes

Free Write: Pinterest
Pinterest is the coolest website ever invented. You can find any thing on there like foods, cars, DIY projects etc. They coolest thing is you cannot get bullied off of the website. What you do is you repin post or you pin your own post. And you fine the coolest stuff, but now they might close down Pinterest in the new law they are trying to pass. Also, Pinterest just opened its website at the beginning of the school year. So it would be a shame if it had to close down so quickly.
The new law that they are trying to pass would close down a ton of websites. I understand some websites should be closed down, but one that should not is Pinterest. It always keeps my attention and there a new things that pop up everywhere. Sometimes it is not that good that it keeps my interest so well. I hope in the end that everyone will try and save Pinterest because i do not know what i would do without Pinterest.

The Lost Hero 2
This week i kept on reading the book named The Lost Hero which has been an amazing book and i wish i had more free time so i could read it some more. Where i left off from my reading was on the part right before the quest Jason, Piper, Leo are about to leave for a quest that everyone has deemed suicidal. So they do not have very high hopes. Rick Riordan writing is better than ever. Actually i was surprised that this book has been so good because they things that i have noticed is that whenever an author keeps the series going, the books are not always that good.
And again the words he use i also know what they mean so i am not always asking like what does this mean? His writing is better than ever and i wish i could show you how good the writing was. I cannot wait for next week to tell you a little bit more about The Lost Hero.

Free Write: A World Without School
A world without out school sounds pretty amazing, does it not? I always say I wish we did not have school, and how much easier my life would be. But would our lives be any easier? School can give a you a ton of opportunities if you just know how to capture those opportunities at the right time. Think about it would we even know how to do the simplest maths or sciences? Even though school is hard it is meant to benefit all in the long run.
I get it sometimes whenever you just wish you didn't have to take that one class that might be bringing your GPA down to a 3.33, but you know in the end whenever you go to college and your friends have to take that class that made your GPA lower, and they are trying really hard just to pass that one class maybe you can help them because you have already passed that class. Also, how would you get a job would we all just be a home? Who knows, but we should all be thankful that we have a chance to become successful in whatever career we may pursue.

The Lost Hero
The Lost Hero, is an amazing book so far I could barley keep the book down. It is a sequel to the Percy Jackson series you would think that the series would be done, but I guess the author was not ready to end the series just yet. So far the book talked about a new kid named Jason, but he has lost all of his memory and he has been brought to Camp Half-Blood. It is very intriguing because sometimes he knows how to speak Latin, and he knows all of the monsters names. The thing that has left everyone sitting on their seats is that Percy Jackson has been missing, and no one has a clue about where he is.
In the book I have noticed a couple of grammar mistakes, such as on one side of the quotation there is not a quote on one side. Also, I have noticed that there are a couple of comma splices, but I do not know if those were meant to be like that or not. But every sentence and paragraph have had many smooth transitions. I would love to recommend this book to anyone, because it is a wonderful book.

Free Write: Facebook
Facebook as you might know is kind of blogging, but in a different way. Facebook is really fun, if and only if you use it in the right way. This website could come to many disadvantages and advantages. One advantage that I have come across is that you are able to contact one of your friends even if you do not have their cellphone number or if they do not have a cellphone. Another is you can see how this one person is growing up, and you can tell everyone what you are doing or how you feel.
But then, if you use Facebook in a bad way many consequences can come your way. For example if you create a new profile and have a secret name and you start bullying someone, then you could harm this person in a way that we cannot even know. In the worst cause that person you were bullying could commit suicide. Another disadvantage is if you give out personal information such as your address. We have heard stories before that someone put their address on Facebook some stalker came to their house and took them away. One disadvantage that is not so bad, but is still bad is that Facebook and is great for procrastinating as i can tell you from personal experience. So what i am trying to say is that always be careful when it comes to the internet.
