Most interesting part: Our reactions to stupid things/situations that happen in stories we read. We all think differently and sometimes we come up with stupid stuff just to make each other laugh (and sometimes it's not on purpose). I love it!
Least favorite part: When some of us don't follow along with the stories. It is really frustrating to have to update people with what is happening cause they don't know what happened! but i am happy to help them understand and hopefully get a good grade!
Thing(s) I learned or improved upon the most: I think I have improved on my grammar. Although I got a bad grade on my grammar test, I made stupid mistakes on it. That is something I really need to work on. I just rush through tests, I don't pay attention to the instructions or words that make the answer completely different, and I beat myself up for it afterwards. I will try my best to fix this.
Favorite memory: Hearing Hudson's laugh everyday, I love it.
Best thing about Hudson as a teacher: I love her LAUGH!!!!! She teaches me grammar, so that's great! I like the stories she shares with us, even if they do frustrate the whole class. She wants the best for all of us.
Things Hudson could improve for future classes: Make different options for the drawing assignments. I really don't like drawing and it is a challenge for me. It really takes me hours to do a mediocre job. I hate it.
Any final comments for Hudson: I love your class! I'm going to try to take both composition and novels and creative writing next year. I love writing! As long as I have enough time to do it. I love reading stories and I'm glad that the ones you share with us are interesting! Thank you for being a great English teacher!!!!!! 😀

Week 31: Advice from Someone Who Went Through It
- DO ALL OF YOUR ASSIGNMENTS TO YOUR BEST ABILITY AND ON TIME. Please do all of your assignments when you get them. Most are easy. You really need the points, especially if you aren't the best test taker. Do them to your best ability. Don't half ass complete your assignments and projects. That shows you don't care. Turn them in on time. You won't get penalized for it being late. your #1 priority should be your health and then school work.
- KEEP TO YOUR OWN BUSINESS. It is best for everyone to stay out of drama. You don't need to share information that is not yours to share. Even if it is your friends' drama, it isn't yours. there is no need to get yourself into it.
- STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. Drama. breaking the rules/laws. looking for a fight. that is what life is for losers that get no where in life. Be a good citizen and give to those that give to you.
- BE KIND. No one likes stuck up people that only care about themselves. Be kind to those around you. You will be rewarded in one way or another.
- DREAM BIG. It sounds cliche, but the sky is the limit! Pursue what you want to pursue. Please don't feel like there are limits, because there are none! Work hard to make your dreams come true, because you may regret it if you don't.
- DON'T TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE. It is impossible, so don't even try to. Just be yourself and be respectful. Everyone has different opinions and ways of life. They have different interests and attitudes. There are people that are different than you, and it is not your job to please them.
I have much more to say, but this is just a blog. This is getting too long.

Week 30: A New Beginning- Almost
Apparently, I have amnesia. I had to choose 5 people to council me to remember every aspect of my life, but I didn't add people that hate me. (I wonder why.)
My favorite person, My dad
He knows me like no other person. He is my number one favorite person! We share almost everything with each other and I love him sooooo much. It would suck to forget all that we have done together. That is why I chose him.
My little sister, Elly
She sees the side of me that a lot of people don't see. I can be REALLY weird and act like a kid. I LOVE IT! We have grown really close.
My big sister, Sarah
Even though we didn't get along a lot when we were younger, we are pretty cool with each other now. She has spent the most time with me as a child and I would want to know how I was when I grew up. She remembers the most funniest things about me too so in a way, it is great to have that to look back on.
One of my best friends, Shania
Shania and I have told each other about a lot of our struggles. I wanted her to be a part of my council because she can remind me of them. What makes us the people we is what we go through in life. I can also be weird around Shania, and it's pretty fun lemme tell ya! Shania is the kind of friend that will be your friend for a life time and I hope that she would have fun with rebuilding my memory (; and what our friendship would be in the future.
My wonderful step-grandma, Julie
My grandma thinks a lot of me. She knows how much I try. She knows I struggle, and she reminds me that there is hope. She comforts me and makes me feel loved. I thought I wouldn't know what the love of a grandmother felt like until I married, but now I do know. Her farm is an escape from things I don't want to think about. I love it there. She is here for me and I am here for her. I think that is why I chose her to be on my counsel. Everyone needs a trust worthy and loving grandparent in their lives!!!!!

Week 29: The Worst Trip EVER.
Hudson thought it was a great idea to get a submarine, and the junior class took an undersea trip in it. I didn't think it was such a great idea, but I went along with it because people were really pumped about it. Hudson, Devlin, and Rowold went along with us. We all wanted to go to Paris. So we took a train to Delaware and Hudson's submarine waited for us at Rehoboth Beach (bordering the North Atlantic Ocean). It took us 5 days to get to France. When we arrived, we rode a train to Paris. We stayed in Paris for 4 days. We saw the Eiffel Tower (yes, we did get to the top), Notre Dame de Paris, The Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Musee d'Orsay. The sight seeing was great and I had a blast. But the worst part of the whole trip was when the submarine broke down and we had to ride a fishing boat back. I got sea sick during the first few hours we were riding on the boat. I remained sea sick the whole time. I couldn't keep food down. I had a bad migraine. I couldn't shower. No one could shower. It sucked trying to use the bath room. No one had phone service out in the middle of the ocean. All we could do was enjoy each other's misery. There were a select few people that weren't sea sick the whole time, and they bragged about it. It pissed me off soooo much! I just wanted to feed them to the sharks. We got to Delaware after 10 days of being on the nasty fishing boat. It felt sooo amazing to finally be on land! I was so ready to go home and sleep! When we made it to Washburn, I didn't even want to wait for my dad to pick me up. I stumbled home and went straight to bed. I slept tried sleeping for over 20 hours, but my dad woke me up because he thought I had slipped into a coma or something. My dad surprised me with some delicious chicken, macaroni, and fruit! I was so happy it wasn't fish.

Week 28: To My Best Friend
Jesus,
Thank you for dying for our sins. You have saved me and many others. You understand me like no other person does. I love you.
Dad,
We have gone through thick and thin together. You have been the best dad I could ever ask for. You understand how I feel 99.99% of the time. I love you soooo much and I don't want to grow up because I will miss you and spend lots of money on gas to come see you all the time. I will miss you every second of every day. Thank you for being all I have needed.
Shania,
We have been best friends since 7th grade. We have held each other up and helped each other out. I'm here for you when you need me and you're here for me when I need you. You allow me to be weird and vent my feelings. I feel like I can be myself around you. I love you the most for that. Thanks for dealing with me for all of these years. (:
Taylor,
We have also been best friends since 7th grade. We have been through some hurtful things together (not with each other) and we also help each other out. I love that we both are in love with Kellin Quinn! <3 Sometimes I hide my true feelings from you because I don't wanna ruin your good days. But its okay. I do it cause I love you. ^_^

Week 27: If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn
East Gaston High School is the perfect place to whitness all of the stereotypes of highschool and the cliques that roam the halls. There are
- The popular kids
- The cool kids
- The jocks
- The fringes
- The nerds and geeks
- The emos
- The loners
- The strays/outsiders
- The skaters
- The rebels
- The preps
- The thespians (obsessed with musicals and singing everything)
- The mean girls
- The rockers
- any others that you could possibly think of
Anyways, I have very few friends. Kate, Ashlyn, and Brooke. They are the best. I know it sounds cliche, but I guess you could say we do our own thing. Just like all of the other cliques. But unlike the other cliques, we are the really nice ones. The peacemakers. We try to help with anything we can. We all fight for the attention of others, to be in the spot light. But I never cared for the spotlight until I was shoved into it... literally. Here is how I got there.
One day, I was following my normal morning/afternoon routine: Go to 1st-4th hours and then to lunch to see my friends. I have to wait until lunch to see them because we all have different interests, but we are close friends because we carry each others weight and have fun. I love them soooo much. We love each other. well anyways... there was a new girl. sitting in my spot. Being the jealous, pathetic, insecure girl I am, I stormed out of the cafeteria pissed off and not caring what is in my way. I flew through swinging doors (who the hell puts swinging doors in the doorway of a cafeteria?!) and I collide with a brick wall.. at least that is what it seemed like. buuuuuut nope. It was a hunk of gorgeousness. I tried to look pissed off when I pulled my food-covered self up off of the floor and stood there waiting for him to say something. But when I looked up, he was searching for my pissed off gaze. We stood there staring at each other. It was really awkward and I got frustrated so I broke the silence. "Well I kinda thought I needed to spice up my wardrobe a little too but this is a little extreme, don't you think?"' And in that moment, I was glad that I am that kind of person that comes up with the right things to say in the moment because we both die laughing. and we kept laughing even when a teacher comes to witness the mess that was being gawked at by a crowd of students I didn't even notice before. I was just so lost in him. And his gaze never left me....... We spent the next hour cleaning up the doorway and ourselves. we both received after-school detentions.
Fast forwarding to the detention...... Everything was awkward and silent until Mrs. Bagel left to flirt with our young PE teacher. She is such a cougar it is just so sickening! anyways, he kept looking out of the corner of his eye to look at me. It was a pain to be in that room knowing we had something between us... so I swallowed my insecurities and fears and stared straight at him. He blushed and then I did. He stared back at me and we sat there smiling and staring and staring and smiling. After about 2 minutes of this, he shifted his body to turn towards me and his angelic voice slices through the air and hits me like he did the day before at lunch. "I'm sorry for hitting you with the door and causing such a mess on you and dragging you into this and stuff... I feel like a nuisance to everyone for what happened..." I swear I died, was re-born as a different girl, and now was starting my life. This was a girl that attracted genuine boys that liked her for her weird sense of humor and food-covered self! A girl that was talking to a guy that seemed to be falling in love but still is respectful and not flirting hardcore! We proceeded to talk about what happened and what we were thinking after it happened and during clean up. What people asked us and things like that. We chatted our way to the end of detention and said goodbye.
Long story short, the new girl replaced me. So I decided to eat lunch with food boy and made friends with his friends. he plays guitar and is in a band. He loves nature, music, adventure, active things, food, and other things i like as well. To everyone, we are the picture of a perfect couple. I call him James Dean because people first love him for his looks, then fun personality, then a great appreciation for his talent. Then after I started calling him that, he started calling me Audrey Hepburn because I tend to be too kind to people, i am too humble, and everyone is attracted to not only my looks but love my kindness. We lived our happy lives until after we graduated high school. I went to college and his band got sooo popular that they had tours every month. We keep in touch and catch up with each other in between tours. He wrote this song for me

If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn
Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
As I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here
[Verse 1:]
How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
[Verse 2:]
It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
[Bridge (2x):]
The way that we are
Is the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be OK
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)

Week 26: I Hold Back the Mean Words
I think of things, funny things, to say all of the time but I hold it back. I try to avoid being the bad guy that did any wrong in a situation. It bothers me sooo much when people think they need to put their input into everything. Or they are immature and share their immature thoughts all of the time. People's pathetic drama makes me want to smash my head against a wall. They can't control their mouths... This is making my chest hurt just thinking about all of this. I really need to work on that. I can't stress over all of these things that aren't important.
But on the other hand, I wish I could have told people more positive things. I wish I wasn't so caught up on my own thoughts and problems to see the beauty and joy in moments in the past. I wish I said "I love you" more and took more chances to appreciate people. I wish I wasn't scared to do what I wanted. I wish i said all that I wanted because the words I could have said would have made a big difference in EVERYTHING. Words I can no longer share...............

Week 25: My Life's Theme Song Would Be A Long One
a theme song for my life? wow. that would be really hard to think of. my song would talk about going through rough times but it all gets better to remind myself to look on the positive side. I would probably have Kellen Quinn sing it cause I LOVE HIS VOICE! OOO or Williamette Stone cause his voice is pretty dreamy too! OOOOOO or Justin Timberlake!!!!!!!!! I can't decide!!!!! anyways, it would always make me happy to sing it and it would encourage me to stay strong and keep moving forward! I'm always looking for inspiring things cause im the kind of person that needs constant reminders that everything is going to be okay. i need constant reminder that im worth something. that someone cares. someone loves me. I haven't found the perfect song yet.... i might write it myself!
