I feel so stuck in my life. I do the same routine when I wake up in the morning, same bus route everyday, I see the same things and faces every single day. I can't get a job because most places don't take 15 year olds, I can't drive myself anywhere and I just feel so bored with my life. I want to do something different... go on a trip, see other things than the same people and same classroom and same everything! I want something exciting to happen!!!
That was really negative but I am having a negative day so.....
This ted talk was presented by Jennifer Pahika and it was about creating government apps to bring communities together and getting citizens more involved in government rather then giving up on it.
I liked how she said we need to be more involved with the government and not give up on it because a lot of people complain about the government but don't do anything about it.
This March break my mom threw a baby shower for her best friend, Andrea. Everybody was very happy for her and she seemed excited for her baby but very tired. While Andrea was opening her gifts my aunt, Sue, told me a story. The story was one night when my aunt was in grade 1 or 2 she had to go to the bathroom and in the house they lived in, the hallway to get to the bathroom was perpendicular to a hallway to get to the kitchen. When she was passing the
hallway leading to the kitchen she looked down it and saw something that ran behind the fridge. It was short and moved very quickly so she thought it was an elf! She ran back into her room that she shared with my mom and said “I just saw
an elf in the kitchen!”. Of course my mom didn’t believe her and told her to go back to bed but my aunt was certain there was an elf behind their fridge. When I heard this story I thought it was hysterical, it brought tears to my eyes and I
have never cried from laughing before. As I was wiggling in my seat, bouncing the whole couch full of people, I was laughing so hard my laugh turned into the one that you can’t hear and your left sitting clapping with your mouth wide open looking like an idiot. Just imagine someone came running into your room in the middle of the night saying “I just saw an elf!!”. It always feels great to have a good laugh.
I overheard a conversation in the hallway this morning and it made me think. The conversation went something like this... "Oh my god, Gretel is so annoiying lately, like, I honestly can't even stand her sometimes." "Urg I know she is so obnoxious." ---side note, that name was made up.-- Now the back story is these three girls are "best friends" and that is what they all think, including Gretel. So if they are best friends, it would make sense to me if those girls went up to Gretel and talked to her about the problem and tried to solved it instead of talking behind Gretels back because with my best friends, I can talk to them about anything. I know every highschool girl talks about people behind their backs but not your best friend. So this made me think... if they are so annoyed by Gretel, why don't they just leave the friendship? I mean your supposed to surround yourself with people who make you happy, right?
The theme of our Halrem shake is GCI. We are doing this harlem shake or fun but also to showcase our school. The props I am wearing are items that represent GCI. I wear a red and blue scarf and a blue shirt.
The experience with the Harlem Shake was great. It was so much fun and I think it taught us how to work together. It also taught leadership skills by planning it all out and get everyone to cooperate.
