Blog Entry no. 13, Bedroom

My bedroom is a casual one like most others. I don’t know about other peoples bedrooms but I can not stand a messy room at all. My brothers mess theirs up all the time and it annoys me a lot! My room has a John Deere background. I also have John Deere posters from when I go to the Farm Progress shows. I love to play with Farm toys a lot so in a corner behind my bed I have all of these farm toys which some might think is kind of immature but I don’t care. My bed is a big King size bed and my room is the biggest in the house except for my parents huge room. I also have a big desk on the east wall with my laptop and documents of school and programs I am in, like scouts. I also have a really comfy chair that I have as well. I have a dresser of course that has almost no room for my clothes anymore and I just stack all of my crap on top of because it is a open space in my room that is easy to see. I also have a big walk in closet which I think is a big factor in my room It has a lot of clothes and shoes in it, but I don’t wear a lot of those shoes at all!? I also In my point of view have the best view. I have two big windows behind my bed that shows the down of Hopedale. The problem about my room is that when cars go by the light shines in my room. GRRRRRRRRRR! And the bathroom is at the other end of the house. So if I have to go to the bathroom at night I run into walls trying to find it and once I fell down the stairs finding it OUCH!
So in a nutshell that is my bedroom, pretty cool eh!

Entry No. 12 Dude that was an awesome CDOW

During Thursday the 17 our freshman class went on the career day on wheels were we were given the opportunity to experience different job opportunities in the world. I went to the ag one. I was pretty happy with their decision because I want to be a farmer. I have lived on a farm my entire life. Anyways we went to a lot of cool places. Our first stop was the Tremont Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Walsh showed us the whole place and what they do there for their job. They showed us the animals there and they showed us a surgery room where they perform their surgeries. Next we went to the Syngenta seed research plant in Pekin. They showed us how they package and process their seed and genetics and how the plant works. They also had a big robot arm that stacked the bags, that was pretty cool in my point of view. I also thought the big elevators were pretty cool to go up. At the end they gave us Syngenta seed hats at the end. We next ate lunch at Steak and Shake, We all had big shakes for lunch I had a bacon cheeseburger. Then we all went back to Minier and toured the John Deere store at Cross Implement. Rick Cross showed us the store and how they do their business. We then went around and looked at farm machinery for the rest of the day. The only disappointing thing was that the career day only lasted until two o’clock that day. I wanted to miss 5^th block and keep on looking at careers!

Blog Entry no. 11 bad habits

There are many people with bad habits in the world along with nail biting or procrastinating. I have one that I don’t know is a common one or a rare one. I have a bad habit of eves dropping on conversations that my parents or brothers talk about that usually get me into a lot of trouble. Like for example if my parents are talking about my brothers grades or upcoming events I just have to hear in on it. The next result in this habit is if one of my parents comes out of their office and come down the hallway and I am right there. Busted! I am caught. Then I usually get a big long speech from my parents saying that is not a good thing to be spying and listening on other people’s conversations. And out of the whole thing if I would have just been minding my own business I would not have been in trouble at all. I do it on my brothers as well. I go into their room and listen in like I watch them sing with the stereo. After that I am really depressed because I made them feel embarrassed or mad. So then I just go into the game room and sit there because when everybody is mad at me they won’t play pool foosball or air hockey with me. So then my whole day is ruined. So I really wish I could get rid of this bad habit.

Blog Entry no. 10 Persuasive Trial Run

In Olympia there are tons of great things that our school has to offer. For instance we have great faculty and staff and nice facilities. But like most schools and as a part of life there are things that you can improve or change. I personally would insist on opening the middle school cafeteria during the Freshman Sophomore lunch period. This is an inexpensive change that would help and improve the High school but also the middle school. Lunch is an important part of the day for everyone. Lunch is a time to relax kick back and enjoy yourself with your friends. But in this case it can also be a drag for some. When the middle school cafeteria was closed it made people move to different tables and away from their friends. As I look around the cafeteria there were people away from their friends because there were not enough tables in the lunch room. There were even some people eating with their friends on top of a freezer for gosh sakes! I personally think it is not right at all. People should be able to sit with their friends not just trying to hopefully find a seat! I also found out from my brother that the room is used for a health class. My brother Steve said that the room is too big and uncomfortable for a good learning environment. He also said you can somewhat hear the students across the room which distracts him from his work. So to help improve the atmosphere of Olympia I think it would be beneficial to open the middle school Cafeteria.
