Assignment#22- Thanksgiving

Over thanksgiving break, I was mostly lazy. I went to lunch a few days of the week with my mom and some friends of hers and mine. We went to The Old Spaghetti Factory, which was an amazing place with great service and food. We also went to this restaurant that just opened 6 months ago. It was very good. We all shared a couple of pizzas.

For thanksgiving, since my mom and I have no family in town, we went over to my moms friends family's house to share a turkey meal. When we went, everyone was very kind and loving. My mother and I felt comfortable and had such a great meal. We were and are so thankful to have them, and having them invite us to their home for thanksgiving. It was very kind and thoughtful of them, and we are very appreciative of them.

The few days after thanksgiving, my mom and I celebrated her birthday. We went to brunch with one of her friends, and had a great meal and just hung out there, them my mom wanted a tattoo so we all went to her tattoo guy's shop, and her tattooed her right then and there. As of right now, my mom has half a sleeve done. She has a cross, with Hawaiian flowers and butterflies.

Exhausted

Assignment#20- Free Choice

For Christmas, I am going to go to Tucson, Arizona. I am going there because all of my family is there, along with my boyfriend. My family at first was scared on how I was going to get there, because they are all short on money. As me and my boyfriend were talking on Skype one day, he offered to pay for a flight, to Tucson, and back. So that day, we were looking online, found dates and times, made sure everyone was okay with it, and then he continued to buy it for me! I am so apprciative of hmi buying those tickets for me, he is such an amazing guy and treats me so right.


I leave Saturday, December 22. The flight leaves at 8:00 am, and get to Tucson at 10:20 am. I come back to California Sunday, Janurary 6. The flight leaves at 11:40 am, and I get to California (LAX) at 12:15 pm. My plans for when I get to Tucson, my boyfriend is going to pick me up, and we will probably go see my whole family then visit his whole family. Other than that, my boyfriend and I are going to go to this place called Winter Haven. This is a part of Christmas when this neighborhood goes all out, and decorates their houses. This goes on only at night, a week before Christmas. There are some nights where you can either walk threw, drive threw, or take a carage.
Other than that, I don't think I will be doing much except spend my time with my family as well as with my boyfriend. I am so excited to go!

Happy

Assignment#19-Cigarette Smoking

  • Peer Pressure
  • Social rewards
  • Risk-Taking Behavior
  • Parential Influence
  • Misinfomation
  • Genetic Predispostion
  • Advertising
  • Self-medication
  • Media Influence
  • Stress Relief

My opinion on smoking is I think it is really stupid, and has no purpose. People who smoke start having problems such as heart conditions, lung problems and so on. You also start to age faster in a  bad way. It messes up your teeth and makes your breath smell bad, as well as having your teeth turn yellow and get all gross. If someone smokes because they are having a lot of stress put on them, I think there are a lot more ways to handle it then smoking. You can go talk to a therapist, family member, or a friend. At the time someone might have some issues in their life that they think they cant handle, well try to quit smoking once you start.

Tired

Anxious

Assignment#18- Pop Culture


Right now, i am interested in video games because my boyfriend is making me game with him. We both downloaded a game called Left 4 Dead 2. This game is about going around a part of town during an apocalyps, and try to find a room that is called a safe room that will get you and you team to the next level. You have to try to kill zombies before they get to you. You have a team of four, and you have to make sure you have each others back. It's all about team work and watching yourself and your team as you travel around the town looking for the safe room.



There are a lot of types of zombies that come after you. You have the regular zombies that just run after you. You have a Hunter, who wil jump all around on buildings then jump on you and will stay on you until your team kills them. You have a spitter, who spits its tounge at you and captures you suntil your team kills it and ssets you from. You have a Tank and a Charger that look a like, they are the biggest ones, and they will chase after you and do a lot of damage to you until they are killed. You have a boomer, who is a fat zombie, that if you shoot it, it exploses and green substance on you, and you cannot see very well for a couple seconds. Then you have a Jockey that jumps on your back and makes you run away from your team, so its harder for them to kill it, and you lose more life ethat way. Last but not least, there is a witch. They are hard to find, and when you find her, or shoot her, it startles her, and she will only run to the person who startled her. She does the most damage and the fastest.

Typing Test 3

In 7th grade, I took a typing class in Arizona. It taught me how to type with my fingers in certain spots, as well as how to type without looking. Even though I learned how to type like that, it is easier for me to type how I normally do.


I picked a website called Learn 2 Type. As I was looking over the site, there is a really cool test that you can take, that takes your speed and finds how many words you typed in a minute. There is a lot of different kinds of tests, one with just a few sentences, one with a paragraph and some with numbers! This site also has a few games that sound interesting to play that will help you with your typing. And last but not least, they have online lessons tat you may choose to take. One by one it will show you the tricks of typing fast and like a pro in no time!
