Week #32 Hudson Honors

Most Interesting Part: Well, probably the Beowulf skits. I am not really a good skit writer or performer, but I always enjoy the skits. Oh, and also all of our random conversations during class are pretty great too!

Least Favorite Part: The reading of the stories. I just get so bored and almost fall asleep and then I have to go back and reread it so I understand what actually happened.

Thing I Learned Or Improved Upon The Most: Well, probably the excellent adventure. It helped me learn how to cite and also how to write a story better. Also I improved on the grammar.

Favorite Memory: My favorite memory would probably be the skits or us ranting to you and you just laughing. Also I really enjoy our random conversations during class. Those are pretty interesting.

Best Thing About Hudson As A Teacher: She always lets us talk to her and helps us with homework when we don't understand it. Also she gets us and that's really nice.

Things Hudson Could Improve For Future Classes: I really don't know. Maybe make the reading more interesting somehow, but i don't know how that could happen.

Final Comments: Have a Great Summer!

Week #31 Words From The Wise

First of all, I can't believe were almost seniors! It's crazy. Now for the advice part, always do your homework and stay on top of it because as soon as you start slacking on the homework, you will never catch back up and your grade won't be good. Make the most of your high school years because before you know it, you will be where we are; being super surprised that were almost seniors. Get involved with as  much as you can because you will have lots of fun and wont regret it! Only stay with the people who make your high school experience great, otherwise you will regret it later on! Overall, just be yourself, do good in school, and make the most of the time while you have it!

Week #30 Who Are You?

Well, the five people I would have reteach me about myself would be my mom, my sister Kassidy (and I would let Kendall help too or she would be mad), my grandparents, Madison and Andrew. My  mom would tell me all about how we argue a lot, but are pretty close. She would probably tell me that I love chores just so she benefits from it, but in reality, I don''t usually do chores. She would tell me about all the animals I have and how i love animals. She would tell me that i am a pretty good student. Kassidy would tell me about all our fights and that she is my sister and she would tell me all about our love hate relationship. Kendall would try her best to tell me about myself, but it probably wouldn't be very efficient. My grandparents would tell me about how close we are and everything I do with them. They would tell me about all of my life goals because they are the people I talk to about everything. Madison would tell me about how I really am when I am not around my family. And she would tell me what kind of student I am. She would basically tell me about my entire life because she almost knows about it more than I do. Andrew would remind me that were dating and about all the great times we have had together and how we were set up by Maddy and Jarrod. He would tell me that I can be pretty stubborn and sometimes I get shy but thats okay. Overall, all of these people would do a great job of telling me about myself and it would feel like I never lost my memory.

Week #29 We All Live In A Yellow Submarine

Well this should be an interesting trip considering all the different personalities we have in this class. Where will we go? Well we would go to Hawaii because why not!? It's a pretty nice sight seeing place, so we will go ahead and just explore the sea by Hawaii. We will see all the coral and fishies and all the marine life. While we will be exploring, everybody will have different reactions. Some of us will be so in awe of the beauty, while some of us will be super bored and not interested at all. Then there will be the ones who will just keep asking to go home because they dont want to be there. Also some people will probably cause some trouble because what else would they do?

Week #28 I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Dear Madison,
Thanks for always being there and supporting me. Even when I am having bad days you make me laugh. During basketball you help me get through the season by being the only other person to know the plays, so we basically run the entire game. Thanks for being there when I am freaking out about something and you let me blow up your phone telling you all about it. Thanks for helping me through situations I need help with. Thanks for helping me open my eyes and figure out how to be around only people who will help make my life better. Oh, and also thanks for setting me up with Andrew. I'm super appreciative of that. Thanks for being the friend who will go through the summer with me while we wait for our boyfriends to get back from basic. Thanks for always cheering me up with your loud wacky laugh that you do. Also thanks for helping me with all the homework I procrastinate like crazy with. Thanks for always letting me talk to you during classes and thanks for letting me ask you stupid questions on the way to basketball even when your annoyed because you have your headphones on. Thanks for being such a great friend! Love You!
                                                                                                        ~Taylor

Week #27 Welcome to the Black Parade

I don't really have a favorite song, so I will write about Row, Row, Row your boat because why not. So we all know the nursery rhyme row row row your boat but what you don't know is how the whole story goes. So little miss Mary decided to go on a rowing boat trip, but she was supposed to go with her friends. Her friends ditched her so she was all alone rowing down the stream. As she was rowing down the stream she thought "life is but a dream". And then her boat flipped and nobody really knows what happened to her. It's possible that she swam to shore and after that just lived a happy life by herself.

Week #26 Words in Retrospect

Not saying what I want to is a big issue for me. There are countless times that I know I should have said more or actually said things, but I didn't. This is mostly because I am awful with confrontation and I hate it. Most arguments I have with people, I look back upon and think "dang, why didn't I say that". Most of these situations have happened in high school and I really wish I would have said something or at least stood up for myself, but I didn't. I kind hope I get better at saying what I want to, but I don't think that will happen, so I will probably have countless other situations later on where I wish I would have said something that I didn't.

Week #25 Theme Songs

If I had a theme song it would be mostly about the sports I play because that is basically my whole life. Volleyball in the fall, then basketball, then softball and in the middle of basketball and softball I play travel volleyball so that takes up most of my time. And in the summer all I basically do is swim and water ski so all of that would be in my song. Also my family would be in the song since I spend a lot of time with them too. I would have the song follow me almost anywhere and play when I wanted it to or when I meet a new person. I probably would not have a famous person sing it, I would just have a random person. It also would not be a particular genre. It would almost be just an animated song.

Week #24 Your Face Smells Like Grilled Cheese

I honestly do not really have a lot of inside jokes, but I guess I have a few. One that we use to make fun of my mom is Indianapolis. This is an inside joke that is about the accidental trip my mom took us on to Indianapolis. This trip happened because we programmed out GPS wrong on the way home form a volleyball tournament and it was a bad experience all together. This just happened in September so it is still a pretty fresh inside joke. Another inside joke would be with my sister and it is "the hole in the wall" or we have another one "the door". The hole in the wall was about a literal hole in the wall my sister kicked when she was mad at me. The door was about Kassidy slamming her door so hard she locked herself in her room and she had to take the door off the hinges and I kicked it in to get her out. Another one with Kassidy would be "perfume bottle". This is about the time I threw a perfume bottle at her and three of her teeth were knocked out and she had to get fake ones.

Week #23 Let's Go to Japan! I'm Not Joking This Time!

If  I could go anywhere in the world, I would choose to travel to London. I feel like there is a ton of stuff to do in London and I believe it would be extremely pretty. First things first, I would not travel alone, I would travel with Madison and she would want to brig Jarrod so  I would bring Andrew. The first thing on the agenda would be to see Big Ben simply because what is a trip to London without visiting Big Ben? It is a must do. Then we would go ride the London eye because Ferris wheels are awesome! Buckingham Palace would be the next thing to see and that would be very interesting! we would also see Tower Bridge. Then after that we would just wing the rest of the trip and see where life takes us for about a week.

Week #22 And They Lived Happily Ever After..Sort Of

Belle AKA Beauty from Beauty and the Beast and the beast are the couple I choose. After Belle and the beast fell in love, there relationship turned out to be not so great after a year and a half. Gaston comes back as a ghost and starts haunting them and after awhile Belle and the beast had to go to therapy. Then after the beast was turned back to being a man, he eventually turned back into a beast and he will never become a human again. After about a year Belle decides she can't be with a beast, so she cheats on the beast and the beast kills the other guy and then Belle dies unhappy. And the beast spent the rest of his life in jail.

Week #21 Celebrity Crushes

Well I do not really have a celebrity crush. Therefore, I just looked up actors so I decided to pick Liam Hemsworth because hes pretty decent looking. I think he would be fun to hang out with. He would probably be pretty funny and funny is always a good thing. And he has great blue eyes so that makes him even better! His eyebrows are a little droopy, but oh well hes still pretty okay. He is famous for acting I think. The ideal "date" with Liam Hemsworth would probably be a nice outdoor activity, possibly like sports (if hes good at sports), or hiking would be pretty nice too.

Week # 20 7th Grade...Again!

Living seventh grade again would be a whole new experience. First of all what the heck were you thinking even talking to freaking AJ!? Definitely a very dumb decision. He is bad. Second of all do not be so judgmental. Looking back I really did not like many people and I was pretty mean at times. Third, do not wear your hair up every day. The pony tail that was as tight as it possibly could have been. It  hurt your hair and it took while to grow it back. Also, do not play volleyball at IVVP, you had a horrible year there your seventh grade year and you would have such a better experience in Princeton playing travel volleyball.

Week #19 I Never Knew That About You!

Well, there really are not a lot of things about me that are unknown. One weird thing is I always struggle to get the right size shoes. When I went to go get my volleyball shoes this year I had to take them back three times before I finally got the right size. And yes, I did try them on at the store, but once I started running around in them, I realized they weren't the right size. Another thing people don't probably know about me is I am related through marriage to the person who runs Shermans  right now. His name is Paul Sherman and he is my grandfathers nephew in law. We know his sister because she is married to my grandpas brother I believe. We have been to her house in Alabama and it is amazing. It is huge and overlooks the mountains. Another fact is one time I thought I was going to drown. Two summers ago, I was water skiing and a huge wave came and I got brought under the water and I started getting tossed around and I couldn't get to the surface. My back popped and hurt very bad so I couldn't swim very well. Then, I got the feeling in my lungs like I REALLY needed air and I barely made it to the surface. One last fact is when I was eight I got into a wreck while I was with my sister and my grandma. It wasn't too bad. My grandma hit a truck and her bumper fell off in the middle of the road and as an eight year old it was pretty scary.

Week #18 Siblings By Chance, Friends By Choice

Even though we don't all get along all the time, my sibling and I still have some great memories together. When me and Kassidy were younger we NEVER got along, but now that we are older, we get along very well. Kendall is almost nine years younger than me so I don't have a lot memories with her, but the memories I do have with her are pretty great! The best summer memories I have with both of my sisters are tubing and swimming. Tubing is always fun because luckily Kendall enjoys going fast which makes it so much more fun. One thing about Kendall and Kassidy is they almost never get along which sucks most of the time. The only good thing that comes out of their fight is I get entertained because of how funny they are. Kendall is very loud, outspoken and bossy which can be very annoying at times, but sometimes it is very funny. Kassidy always speaks in a monotone voice and she says things at random times which gets to be very funny. We bond over sports because Kassidy and I play sports and Kendall knows what is going on because she plays some and she is always watching us. My favorite daily memory is every day when we get home or when we are in the car, we all talk about how our day was and Kendall always has a new joke to tell us. Even though my sibling can be a pain, I love them.

Week #17 Good News, Everyone!

Waking up after one thousand years?!? This is crazy and everything around me is amazing and unrecognizable. I really do not know what to do with myself and I guess I am going to have to figure out how to function in this world. Cars do not exist anymore and when I asked somebody where to find a car they looked at me like I was a crazy person. The sky is the most beautiful thing and it seems that there is no more pollution. All transportation is a flying type of transportation and nothing travels on the ground anymore. It seems that everything is city-like and there is no open land. It is all buildings and skyscrapers. Every person seems to be extremely happy and nobody seems to be upset or angry about anything, so I guess all issues have been resolved in one thousand years. Clothes seem to be the same with little variation from now. Overall, the world seems to be a lot better and a lot happier after one thousand years, but I sure am lost.
