M is for Math

"Almost done, almost done," I'm thinking as hard as I can, I know I can finish these last 2 problems before class is over. My pencil is screeching across my bleached, alabaster paper. I find my algebraic calculator I rapidly punch the digits, 78x360= 28080, finished one more to go I look back at the last question I think, "if y = 3, then y3 (y3-y)=..." then oh no I can think I only have five more minutes left in the class. OH MY GOODNESS, what am I going to do?...

Have you ever sat at your desk in a boiling classroom, peering at some difficult math problem and not know where to start? I have. Math should be classified as one of the last forms of slavery, no offense to Mrs Duldthard, but math is the most dreadful, harrowing, vile, shocking, horrific piece of school work, that when I look at it I feel nauseous. I can't believe that something like math would be taught in school.

I'm not the only person who doesn't enjoy math. Did you know that Miley Cyrus never liked math in middle school? I know that many people in our own grade do not care for math. I don't know how some mathematicians like, Pythagoras, Euclid, or John Von Neumann could sit for 8 hours and study math. But, I guess if you want to be the first person to find a certain theory in math you have a lot of work to do.

Not all math is hard or upsetting, I guess we need to know some basic math to live like how to tell the time, or if I want to buy something for $2 and I only have 8 quarters and I need to know if I have enough. Or if I need to make equal groups of people or if I need to know how many 4 inch cookies will fit in a box that will fit 12 inches. I guess math really isn't that bad. I do enjoy (some) math. Like adding, subtracting, multiplication, division and algebra...

...Wait algebra, it's all coming back to me now. I awaken from my short mid-math day dream to realize if Y=3 then Y3 would be the same as saying 3x3 therefor 3x3 is 9 then 9x another 3x3 so that's the same as saying 9x9 so that would be 81 and then the last step would be -Y so -3 the answer would be... 78! Yes I'm finished I scratch down my final sentance as numbers are flowing from my brain, if Y=3 then Y9(Y3-Y)= 78. I hand in my work and wait patiently for the last 2 minutes of class to finish I feel a sense of accomplishment, as I smile to myself, I finished that math problem and I am math free! At least for a while!

My life lesson is to not be afraid of math because we use it everyday and without it where would we be!

G is for "Green"

"I am the earth, you are the earth, the earth is dying and we are the murderers." ~~ Ymber Delecto

People today are always talking about going "green," but really what do they mean?


When I think of global warming and environment pollution I think of polar bears in the Arctic and smog in Dubai. If we were given this world we should keep it safe. I was listening to the radio today and I heard a commercial for Earth Day, it said "this earth wasn't given to us by our parents but lent to us by our children." It took me a while to understand really what this meant but after a bit I figured that they meant that you have to keep the earth clean and pollution free so our children can enjoy it just as much as we have.



Today people write books about how we are wasting so much paper, isn't that ironic? If they're really care so much about the environment that they are going to write a 400 page book about it, they should be outside and doing something about it. The people today are saying to drive energy efficient cars, when 6 types of electric cars are made in Canada but are illegal in 5 provinces. How can we safe the environment if every time we try we are shot down by the government?



There is more that 500 species at risk of extinction. How can we help those animals when there is people destroying their habitats with bull dozers and fires from the climate being too hot. When finally we get out country under control with the environment, how do we get the other 249 countries on board with helping this ongoing predicament?



I think that if everyone thinks this is a pressing issue, shouldn't the U.N. be doing something about it? If we think that the world needs our help because we are destroying it we should really go out and do something about it!



My life lesson is to protect out earth because it's the only one we have!

L is for Lady Gaga!

Lady Gaga, is she a man? Is she a woman? or both?

Is she an attention seeker or a true individual?

Lady Gaga or Stephani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, was born on March 28, 1986. People view Lady Gaga as a crazy person that does weird, abstract things for attention, but when really Lady Gaga does all those things for a reason.

Lady Gaga grew up in a rich family, she went to catholic school, with a loving mother and father. She always loved singing and her mother knew that she would be a famous singer one day.

From the time her first album came out in 2008, The Fame, to when she wore her first crazy outfit people thought she was just trying to be another Madonna. A girl that was just going to do wacky things to get the attention of the paparazzi. But Lady Gaga does it to show people that she is her own person and you don't have to stick to the norm to be a great person.

Lady Gaga's shocking Paparazzi Grammy performance sparked some rather rude comments. But what people didn't understand was that Lady Gaga had a reason for her performance. The song Paparazzi song is suppose to be about how Princess Diana died. Her performance of her hanging herself because of the Paparazzi was trying to show how Princess Diana was forced into a situation she shouldn't have had to and ended up dying because of it.

What people have to understand is the difference between Lady Gaga and Madonna. People compaire them everyday. I'm not trying to say anything against Madonna, but when she was Lady Gaga's age she was trying to do anything to get the attention of the paparazzi. She would be at parties, drinking underage, and always being in the spotlight. Lady Gaga says that when the fashion designers design abstract outfits for the runway they don't expect to see people wearing them. But Lady Gaga designs her outfits for her to wear she doesn't care what people think about her outfits she just wears them cause she wants to.

One thing I think we all could learn from Lady Gaga is how to be your own person. Lady Gaga can do this because she has great confidence and she can look at people that are staring at her and turn the weird looks into a great song, or a fabulous outfit. My life lesson is to be yourself, try not to be an attention seeker and to just dance because it will be ok!

S is for Showers

I Walked in to the bathroom and... STRIP! I enter the shower and and drench my hair in the lukewarm water. Following the directions on the back of my Abba Botanicals Volumizing Shampoo, I lather my lush hair, rinse and repeat! Getting shampoo in my eyes I start freak. But then I remember my "SHAMPOO IN THE EYE ESCAPE PLAN" I reach for my towel and then rinse the shampoo out of my eyes with the tap! THE SHAMPOO HAS BEEN ABOLISHED! Once the shampoo is gone, I know it's time for conditioner!






I squeeze a generous amount of Abba Botanicals Volumizing Conditioner onto my sparkling hair. Careful not to have a recap of the shampoo incident, I make sure to have a wash cloth close to grab, if my conditioner gets in my eyes. I scrub, getting my whole head clean as the conditioner works it's magic. I already feel cleaner already. I stand under the rushing, warm water, when all of a sudden the water turns a bitter cold temperature, not at all what I'm used to! My body reacts to the change in temperature. I act quickly jumping out of the flowing rain of the freezing water, and grab a warm towel. The warmth is comforting, then I stare longing at the shower wishing the water didn't run out.~~~




Have you ever felt like you don't want to get out of the shower? I have, and I'm am going to teach you how to know when you have had enough shower for the day!





First, once you have chosen a shampoo, you should choose one like Luster~Cream Shampoo.
Where you only have to lather once!! When you don't have to lather twice you shave off at least 2 mins off of your shower routine.

When you our finished shampooing and conditioning and the rushing warm water is flowing down like a waterfall... learn to say no to the shower.
When you are longing to stay in the water but your skin is wrinkly like a prune you know you've had enough!
You have to get out of the shower before you dry out!!!!

So, when you have your shower and your wanting to stay in the soothing water, remember To lather, Rinse and repeat only if necessary.


~~~ As I stare at the shower I wonder if the water has become warm again, I couldn't resist I hopped back into the shower and sure enough the water was a relaxing message on my back. I was my the perfect place!
It was like a dream!

Life Lesson: Learn how to say no to the shower!!
