 Ive always been curious about how chitterlings are made. If chitterlings are pig intestines how are those nasty things even eatable. This is a disgusting dish and needs to honestly be banned. I don't even understand how people are ok with eating literal pig intestines.  Today I took 3 finals. I ended up doing decent on all of them to so I passed all my classes from yesterday. I'm tired and drained. I don't feel like practicing today at all but I guess since it's my couches birthday it won't be that bad. 

 One Christmas i went to my dads house. My sister from Maryland and her girlfriend came down. As well as all my step sister and cousins. We played the cookie game from the squid game, roasted marshmallows, made hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies. It was very fun and refreshing. Today I did missing work and studied for my finals. I was very stressed out for my math finale.  I feel a little stressed but I'm going to continue to pray. Im so excited for the break to be out of school for two weeks. 

 The best gift i ever received was an iPhone. For the longest, I owned an Android and got bullied for it. I really hated the phone and continuously asked for an iPhone for my birthday. One birthday, my dad came to my mom's house and brought me an iPhone 7. I was so happy I started jumping up and down and dancing.  Today we completed chapters 6-7 questions. I learned that Jefferson is still in jail and some characters in the story don't see a point in still having belief in him getting free. If I was in these shows I wouldn't feel good about myself and would in fact feel unworthy.  Today I feel very tired. It was kind of cold in the classroom and I was very hungry. I was so ready for Christmas and extremely ready for lunch.

 The song sang by Annie "Opportunity" in the old film Annie. This song always reminds me of how I use to watch annie 2 over and over again in the couch and eat. I loved and still love all the songs in the film and feel happiness when I hear it.  Today we started the Adobe presentation. The slide presentation in based on the book, "A lesson before dying." I learned that the character is being accused for a crime he didn't commit yet looks guilty. Im happy Christmas is almost here. I felt really tired today and did not feel like playing a game. 

As a child, I always believed in Santa. I used to really think a fat man would come down the chimney and bring me presents. I used to make cookies and strawberry milk for him. One day I was on youtube and saw people making jokes about Santa and how he wasn't real. I was hurt and felt stupid, because of this I went to school and told all the students santa wasn't real. All the kids started crying and my mom had to come pick me up from school for my actions.   Today we took a benchmark. The benchmark had a few things on there we learned as well as some we didn't. One of the passages was about the amendments and how important they truly are and that's something I will always remember.  The benchmark wasn't that hard but somehow I still didn't do as good as I thought. The passage about the amendments is something that was actually very intriguing and interesting. 

 One time, I was watching White Chicks with my mom. There was this one scene in the beginning where the actors acted like hispanics to catch the drug dealers and ended up catching the wrong people. The way they nailed the impression was hilarious. Today we went to the auditorium to talk about this website for college. The app is called Naviance and it allows you to take a survey which gives you recommendations on colleges based on your results.  I liked the activity we did in the auditorium it honestly helped a lot with which colleges I'm going to apply too. I also like how it did take that long and was quick and simple

 At one point i was really mad at my cousin because she told my aunt something I didn't want her to tell her. I felt betrayed and felt like she was being unsympathetic. My mom talked to me about how we as humans is not going to like what everybody does or has to say but the most we can do is either put the situation in the back of our minds or address is respectfully and move on. When I took her advice and addressed it , I found out she told my aunt out of concern, and not to be evil. Ive carried this lesson my mom taught ever since.  Today we did vocabulary words and filled in the blanks.  It was kind of cold in the classroom again but it wasn't that bad. I learn more and more how synonyms and antonyms can really help me better understand a word.

 When i was younger i used to be partially quiet in class. Teachers and classmates assumed I was interested and didn't understand the material when I was just a shy and anxious kid. This was an unfair accusation because due to this , I didn't want to speak up and truly show what I knew.  Today we read chapter one of the story. The boy was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got accused for the murder of three people. This was mainly because of the time in generation and the color of his skin.  Today I was really tired , but I was able to catch up regarding what happened in the story. It was kind of boring just sitting there and listening to the story the whole class period. The worksheet was fine I just wish there was more discussion. 

I cant stop thinking about roast. My mom makes the best roast I can even fathom. When I wake up , I think about roast, when I'm in school, I think about roast, before I go to sleep I think about roast. The soft potatoes and carrots make it 10x better. Roast is me, I am roast.  Today we read a bit more of the story and basically the boy's grandmother knows there is no chance of getting let off and wants him to at least die a man. He didn't have much of a father figure so having the qualities of a man is taking him longer than typical.  Today's class was actually interesting and really made me think. It sure was cold in that classroom though.
