Failure
BY a long shot I think my biggest miss was the research paper. Not only was feedback lowkey confusing but the writing center was no help. I felt like I was writing for nothing. It was a confusing writing process and I would get conflicting feedback from different people who tried to help me. I had no hits this year because everything I turned in flopped. I don't really care but it was aggravating because everything I turned in I felt was a failure. I would ask for help and get told it was fine and then get a grade that didn't reflect that. I really gave up.
This year in English I have never felt more drained in my entire life and I am ready for this year to end. Every assignment made me feel like I was dying. I am ready to quit. I felt that every paper I wrote got worse and worse and they became increasingly more pointless as I went along. The ENd.

Maybe we don't see everyone being violent and lying, but anyone is capable of acquiring traits assimilated with lying, betrayal and violence. When threatened fight or flight adrenaline helps us to survive. If everyone constantly told the truth what would happen?

Strats
I think I have strategies for reading I just cannot define them. I just read the book. I pretty sure if someone else were to evaluate it they would find some sort of pattern, but I am not aware of it. Also I apologize for no contractions, I found it very tiresome to keep locating the apostrophe because my pinky keeps missing and it is quite an ordeal (FPW's are not real I know, it is just more of a nuisance). Anywho, I do not find myself using a certain strategy, and at the same time I am not making any profound comments about the book...maybe they are connected.
Maybe by seeing the strategies others use I will be inspired to use one that is successful. I do not know why I never used something to get through a difficult book. It depends on the book how I approach it- whether I brace for a faceful of metaphors or take it for face value.

Bagel Infernos, Medium Rare Chicken and Stearoyl Lactalyte
Do you cook? Most definitely. I cook everything all the time. I love to do it, and anyone involved socially will hear all about that dough I made the night previous. I think cooking is extremely important. I think some people were made to cook. I mean, anyone CAN. If you're literate you can follow a series of steps to success. It's different for me though because I can look at a table of ingredients and plan everything, and even taste it. Cooking I guess isn't easy for some people otherwise there wouldn't be 911 calls about toaster ovens and bagels that have become the "LIT" brunch centerpiece, or ruined first dates of medium rare chicken... the latter is just stupidity.
I think it is also important to know what's in food and hopefully be able to pronounce it (ahem stearoyl latcalyte) which is in poptarts... I don't know what it does, but it probably gives it the shelf life of prehistoric bacteria.

What is Intelligence? - How the Education System Might be Changing Our Definition
To begin this I would like to preface why I chose this particular topic. I will also be using two articles one on the theory of intelligence and the other on how we might change our perspective about intelligence. This topic is important to me because I think that intelligence spans a far greater scale than the percentage at the top of students' paper. This issue has plagued me most of my school life because I was never considered "intelligent" enough. I was average because my score did not say a number above my peers. I think the message the education sometimes sends to young students about defining their intelligence is something that does not encompass the many possibilities and capabilities the student might posses. The "Theories of Intelligence" article shows the many kinds of intelligence humans may posses. Among the "Book Smart" many people think of; Intelligence is more than one person's ability to solve an equation or write a paper. Below is one theory of intelligence and how it might span more than the average school setting; according to Robert Stenberg Intelligence is, "
- Practical intelligence--the ability to do well in informal and formal educational settings; adapting to and shaping one's environment; street smarts.
- Experiential intelligence--the ability to deal with novel situations; the ability to effectively automate ways of dealing with novel situations so they are easily handled in the future; the ability to think in novel ways.
- Componential intelligence--the ability to process information effectively. This includes metacognitive, executive, performance, and knowledge-acquisition components that help to steer cognitive processes. "
These categories that are listed can obviously be stretched farther than math class. I think that is where schools could improve. This also ties into the persuasion of social media, but that is a different topic in its entirety. The next article is how we could change our perspective on intelligence. I think this really hits home to me for personal and political reasons. Growing up I could never tell someone the expansion of the universe or how to do math, or what chemical make-up is in the composition of the human body. We think of smart people as prodigal children who DO know those things. People's talents were made for much more than the classroom and while reading these articles I saw how intelligence can mean many different things. The second article "Changing Perspectives About Intelligence" is also very important to my point. The author states how in order for any change to be made society has to break the habit of assimilating intelligence with aptitude based quantities and numbers and instead teach intelligence as a progressive growth of conceptual thinking and process with a basis of knowledge structures. I think this is a very valuable topic that could change the way we view the rest of society when given the word "intelligent" to describe it.

Slow Cooked
Now I am going to write about oxtail stew. It may sound disgusting but oxtail can be slow cooked into a fall apart beautiful meal. Its flavor is that of beef and is slightly milder than it. You can purchase it in packages with the bone in. As you can imagine, the tail of the ox does a lot of work so you will need to slow cook it otherwisse it will be very tough. The more the muscle is used, the tougher it will be so the longer and slower you should cook it. Depending on how much oxtail you purchase quantities may very. I purchased two pounds from Walmart for 10 dollars. Ox tail is very versatile because you have to slow cook it so any flavors you combine it with will infuse in the meat. This stew takes around 8+ hours, but it requires very little maintenance. I cooked mine on the stove top but you can put it in an over or possibly a crock pot. Man upscale restaurants have begun to use oxtail in their menus. Follow this for a Sunday dinner for the week.
The quantities listed will be for two pounds of oxtail each piece about 2-3 inches in diameter. Leave the bone in because it will keep the meat from separating into unidentifiable pieces. You will need the vegetables listed but in your preferred quantities. You can add any vegetables. This is a very versatile dish and can be tailored to your own tastes. For other vegetables try hearty ones that will keep their shape during cooking like potatoes, parsnips, and other large vegetables. I used carrots and celery with onion as mise en place. Which is a term used to describe the prep work before making a dish. Start by searing the oxtail in a smoking pan with olive oil. Brown the oxtail on all sides and place it on a plate. Add four sliced yellow onions and the diced carrots and celery. If you have potatoes save them for when there is stock... they will only take 30 minutes to cook. If you have frozen peas add those 4-5 minutes before serving. After adding the vegetables stir in 4 table spoons of flour and combine until it is cooked out 1-2 minutes. Then you add the browned meat back in. This is also a good time to add in any other stew meat you may have. Follow by deglazing the pan with 1/3 a bottle of red wine. Wine for cooking should be cheap, dry and not fancy. Any fragrance or fancy infusions will take away from the flavor. I used a Cabernet Sauvingion from Walmart that I purchased for 6.50 dollars. If you would like substitutions I would suggest a guinness beer or slug of stout. If you would like options with out alcohol then chicken or beef stock will do just fine. In this case any liquid, even water, will work fine. Then Scrape the bottom of the pan and add stock or water to cover. Add thyme or other spices now. If they are fresh wait until the end to add them. If you add fresh herbs now, They will wilt and lose their flavor. Ending herbs would be parsley, or cilantro. Depending on your tastes you can can make a gremolata which is a dry dressing with herbs and citrus zest. After you finalize your flavor profile, simmer it for 6-8 hours and serve over rice or potatoes.

3/4 Added Sugar or 3/4 Added Salt?
To reflect on this year I would first like to wonder if I became a better person or a worse person. (Hence the title). What did this year add or take away from my personality. (As a student not socially because that would be a whole different train wreck). As a student I feel like I have learned the importance of time management and balancing what I have to do with things I want to do. My parents (my father) thinks I have done too much this year, but I think it was a good way of learning how to balance extracurricular things with my academics. I was never one to have good grades but I kept decent ones and multitasked through the entire year. This year was definitely the busiest so I had to find efficient ways to study. Most of this came from my Hbio teacher Dr. Fenske. She taught me how to study effectively and how to clear up ideas and concepts quickly.
I learn best by doing, Apparently that is a kinsthetic learner. For example in bio I finally understood meiosis when we did a lab with magnetic beads. I think during this last quarter I can really focus on academics because the sports that took up time like powerlifting are now over. I loved powerlifting so much and I cannot wait for next season. Not only academically but I have found ways to physically be productive and better my body as well as my grades. I found out that powerlifting helped me to be productive because it was a stress reliever. It was also very rewarding and I had my best grades in my hard classes while lifting. I think this year was a combination of good and bad attributes.

Windows
Windows by Lewis Watson uses enjambed to show his hesitation. The song is about keeping old habits that he had while with someone after they broke apart. The use of enjambed in the song is heard when he sings the song with pauses in the lines in the middle of the sentences. It is like he is taking a pause to show his hesitation and solemn attitude towards the subject. He also uses imagery to describe the habits her keeps. He sleeps with the windows open and he is always cold because whoever he is referencing liked them open.
His use of imagery and enjambed allow the song to have a sad, sullen air to it. That is why it's on his album called "There's Four Sad Songs on it". The use of enjambed is more evident in his live presentations of the song when he pauses. His use of imagery paints the picture of a lonely heart still connected to a severed relationship.

Legally Blind Giraffe or Mak??
So over the break Caroline and I went snowboarding. It was then that I realized I had the balance of a legally blind giraffe. Which in case you do not know; it is not good balance. Caroline was a natural at boarding the snow. However yours truly was not. There were two others who were in the class. We were the only two who were not legally adults. Wayne was an airline pilot who had the balance (ironically) of a crashing plane. Jill was (most likely) a "spirited" (annoying) twenty-five year old who most likely frequents bars with cheap mimosas and cosmopolitans. She had the balance of herself after too many brunch appetizers doused in cheap boxed wine to drown her sorrows. She was trying to keep up with her boyfriend who was a professional snowboarder and he seemed to be having quite the time teaching her. I fell a lot but not as much as Jill or Wayne. Caroline on the other hand only fell twice. She blames her talent on her hover board but I roll my eyes.
Jill most likely looked up "How to Snowboard (EASY TUTORIAL)" on YouTube in preparation for the lesson labeled "first timers" to impress Erica, the instructor. I do not mean to be rude but it was a good thing Jill was primarily face down in the snow because her voice was not very pleasant but, she loved to talk. I got very mad that I fell on the mountain and threw my snowboard because I don't like sucking at things. However I really enjoyed the trip and would like to try and not suck some more. The only problem is the lack of snow.

Slow- like Molasses
Some say wallowing in one emotion, but as the great Brendon Urie says, "Being sad is better than being over it." I mean, it's all circumstantial. Some writes sit themselves in one sort of mood for the majority of their career. Edgar Allen Poe made a name for himself by filling his writing with macabre and morbid themes.
So I suppose that there can be too much of one thing or emotion. However, stewing inside one emotion may not be such a bad thing. It may allow for reflection and it the experience is not positive maybe some thoughtful down time is helpful. Being overly critical of oneself and situations (not to be cynical) can have major downsides and is not part of my point. I just think that pondering over a decision isn't always a bad thing. In a world that moves so fast- slowing down could benefit us more than we think.

Skill(s)Z i have learned surfing the inter webs for project research
One major skill i have learned through this project is picking up the pen again. i previously stopped drawing for two years after failing to make it into talented (lol i sucked back then not suprised). Besides that, during my paper i had to make my artifact which is six handmade, replicated drawings of roman sketches. i really enjoyed drawing from a new perspective.
drawing from the roman art allowed to me focus on line work and details along with learning the history behind it. The intricate yet simple drawings were fun to draw and the entire artifact took around five hours to completely out togehter.

Second SECOND post on research topic
so mobile mode won't let me do what i can on a laptop. i apologize for all the awful capitalization and ecetera, and i know no excuse in the world will bring me sympathy even though i can't help the wifi- here's is the second SECOND blog. i forgot what part of the research were supposed to be writing on and i can't find it so i will write about the significance of my topic.
To anyone else my topic is useless. A good majority of this topic is useless to me. WILD right? why have to invest your time upon something that is useless... i do that every day... However insignificant it maybe it is interesting. However uninteresting this topic seems to you mirrors the thoughts i have at anyone's opinion because i have already put this project into place.
My topic has significance because without training humans are trained to find things pleasing to the eye. I felt like studying one of the origins of a classic look and feel in art was partial to me because i like art. i enjoyed the process of seeing the evolution of art although the rest i am not too sure about ....

week 3's blog redone because apparently i'm a flop
i would likw to warn readers of spelling and capitalization errors because i'm typing it from my phone because my wifi unexpectedly shut down at 10 pm. take off all the points you want, but in the meantime here's the blog.
I think one of the main values at the beginning of the book that is overlooked it the friendship between Rowdy and Junior. They have a very close bond and are almost what keeps the other going. I like the brotherhood and the mutual respect they have for each other even when it is not shown in a conventional way. Rowdy contrasts Junior because he is very short tempered and angry. He expresses his feelings physically and sometimes it has negative affects.
Junior has a passive and mellow quality about him that shows the fire in Rowdys personality. I think the mutual, unwritten agreement between the two emotionally will be elongated,destroyed, and maybe even forgotten completely as the book goes on.

Whatever This is
I enjoyed the book, but it felt very stereotypical. I thought it was going to be more unique and although it is; it still plays in the safe lane of books aimed at young adults. The book was very personable though; it felt like talking to an old friend and I enjoyed that aspect of it.
Overall the book was well written and can appeal to a broad spectrum of people. It's like a good hug or bowl of hot food. It was refreshing to read.

My project : Asking the Hamburger Joint if they Serve Hamburgers
I think something I've learned about during my project was the fundamentals of art and its origin. I really enjoy doing my project and creating my presentation. It's also fun to pick up drawing seriously again after two years of going into hibernation. It is frustrating to try and get back into my prime, but it's getting there. I'm not that great at art but this project is helping me learn how to create depth and make my line work more appealing and concise.
One thing I'm worried about is my presentation. I don't want it to be too boring to my classmates but I get really nervous and either stutter or go monotone. I think it will be ok I just want my topic to not put them to sleep, but hopefully the handmade element of my presentation will draw them in. Just to paint a picture of how nervous I get when speaking to people; I started my hamburger order with "hhh-hello.... **crickets**" *order boy rolls eyes* "what do you want" "...uh.. I suppose a hamburger" FANTASTIC - now just picture 10 minutes of that but to a group of people.

A Fabulous Four Sentences
To be Honest ADT PTI was a quick read. It reminded me of a book I read in middle school with the interwoven comics and diary perspective. I didn't hate the book as much as I thought but it wasn't the best thing I've ever read.
I can't talk about what I want to without spoiling the book so I'm going to end it here.

This Weekend: Getting Sniped in Real Life...
What's better than many things to do? Migraines. I sure do love me a good ol' persistent migraine. It is day two and the third dose of heavy duty pain medication has done nothing but contribute to my possibly failing liver. Any WH-0 - This weekend was Chinese New Year and I don't know if you could tell, but me being AHA Chinese I celebrated. It was uneventful, and me being the intellectual got someone sick through MSG... Friendship goals. Where might the slight regret come from you may ask? I played in a soccer match Friday to which they mercy ruled us because of every player being injured: including myself. I pulled my hip and couldn't run so on top of being as slow as molasses in the north pole, I was now deduced to molasses in quick sand. OH and those pesky shin splints are my new best friend.
More back to the New Year, I think it's more exciting than regular new year because there's dragons and food and excitement. I really enjoyed it because I had someone to share it with AND even better snipe me from across the map on Call of Duty. I wouldn't trade it for the world... and even better there were fortune cookies.
More back to the New Year, I think it's more exciting than regular new year because there's dragons and food and excitement. I really enjoyed it because I had someone to share it with AND even better snipe me from across the map on Call of Duty. I wouldn't trade it for the world... and even better there were fortune cookies.

So Much Sap You Can Call this Post Vermont
Personally, I feel like I've learned a lot about myself and my abilities in the first semester. I realized that having fun is important when doing anything. If you're doing something that you don't enjoy change it. Having to do unfavorable things is part of life, but thinking about yourself and own well being is important. I don't feel like putting myself first sometimes is all that bad. Sometimes you need to put yourself first in order to keep yourself happy. I don't think you should out yourself above others, but when making decisions you should include yourself in people the decision might affect. I also learned that dropping something that isn't mandatory is ok. It is also fine to drop something or pick something up for the pure reason of just doing it.
One of the biggest things I've come to terms with is my abilities. It's ok to not do things to be good at them or because you're good at them. If I only did something to excel in it, I wouldn't be playing any sports. Play video games on easy, to suck at sports, be terrible at math, and to trip over air; these are all things that I've come to terms with. I still get embarrassed when I trip over air, but instead I just have fun with it and laugh at myself. Last semester I learned to surround myself with people who make me happier, laugh more, and love the simple things. This semester I hope that I can learn to have more fun. **cringes because this was sappy like a pintrest inspirational post**

How to Golf When Your Skills are that of an Actual Ripe Fig
A few months ago I decided on Golf as a spring sport. I am now having second thoughts about my decision because I have the skill of a wet sock. This weekend Caroline, who is good at golf, took me to Santa Maria and I have never felt so out of place in my life.
How does one manage to hit the ball behind them? I don't know but I managed to do it. The entire experience gave me the upmost of a fright. Out of the three girls playing it is very safe to say I would enjoy being the photographer more than a player. The fl0p chronicles continue because I am a fl0p. I stuttered when someone told me hello the other day. What a mess. (I contaminated the sport, I am so sorry @actual golf players)
The Failure is Abundant
Oh boy would you believe it if I told you this ; this research project is actually making me want to bury myself six feet under. Not literally. However I have yet to see how notecards are supposed to help. By the end apparently we are supposed to be able to paste everything together into one cohesive paper. Unfortunately, this is causing a great amount of stress because I have yet to see how it is supposed to benefit me other than give points to the total. Everything is so overwhelming and I don't think it should be- I am very confused about where I am failing.
Hopefully things will start looking up or I will actually get an F on everything. The end to the abundant failure that is my life.
