Well I think i'm going to stop reading The Outsiders, it's one of my favorite books but since i've read it so many times I'm really not feeling it. I'm gonna start reading The Hunger Games, I'm going to get the first book today when we stop in Sioux Falls.

Government sucks! It is possibly one of the worst classes I have ever taken. It's just so boring that I don't care whats really going on. I would so much rather take a history class, with taking that there's some sort of excitement!

Yay! I'm not failing English IV anymore! Lets hope that never happens again and I keep making my grade better. It is pretty much the worst feeling in the world when you look at your grades and you have an "F.
"

When Two-Bit and Pony were walking home Pony got this strange feeling in the stomach. It was the same feeling he got the night he ran away because Darry yelled at him. He felt as if something was going to happen that night that no one could stop. I think I've had that feeling before, it's just like you know something bad is going to happen before it actually does.

T.S Eliot

T.S. Elliot stated at the end of the poem "when the wind blows the water white and black." This gave me a mental picture of what was going on. Images from being at the river when it is super windy and looking at the water and it just looks like a terrible gray color and seeing the whitecaps in the water. Those few words just made me think of a stormy day out on the river.

Well last week I was gone for the first few days because I was sick. I'm really wishing I wouldn't have gotten sick! While being gone I forgot about a packerpress draft article that was due on Monday and my grade is suffering because I forgot. I really am hoping I will get more grades in there to bring that grade up in English IV. I really hope I won't have to miss anymore days of school!

I cannot wait for contest to be over next week. Preparing for it has just been a constant struggle and this final week is the first time that I felt like that we actually know the songs and can sing them pretty well. Womens choir I realy am not sure how we're going to do, we do one of our songs really well and then the other one is not so pretty. I hope we can pull threw and get a good rating!

In my last post I said that Darry would be a soc if it wasn't for the gang and I just find that really interesting. Here the socs come after the greasers because of there social class and the where they are living but they would allow a "greaser" into their group just because he was good at sports. I would think that no matter how good Darry was at football he would be hated by the socs and there would be no way they'd be friends.

The Outsiders

Pony and Two Bit started talking about Darry and how much stricter he was than Pony's parents before they passed away. Then they started saying that the only thing keeping Darry from being a Soc was the gang. Even though Darry didn't have that much money or lived in a big fancy house he was one of the most popular people when he was in school. Darry was an amazing football player and got alot of scholorships for it also but when the time came he had to stay home and take care of the Pony and Soda once their parents died so they all could stay together.

Well I just found out that you are going to be gone on Thursday, lets just hope that Business English goes alot better this time when you are gone. I hope to God it does

Accounting

Well I'm starting to not completly hate accounting anymore now that we're on this new chapter. Now that we're actually learning something new. I still can't wait till I never have to take another accounting class in my life. Thank God I won't have to take one at DWU!
