1. Express your truest feelings about your thoughts of having to come back to school after chillin' for a week
I feel 50 50 when it comes to coming back to school, and spring break was long, and relaxing.
2. Provide your thoughts about having to take the TAKS
My thoughts are, well to tell you the truth, I'm very nervous that I'll fail.
3. Tell me what the TAKS test means to you
It means to me if I fail, I won't be in NEHS anymore, or Student Council, or Camera Crew. So I hope that I pass, and don't get kicked out of any of the 3 things I just mentioned.
4. Describe the importance of the TAKS test and those who deem it most critical
Well.... if you think about it, the state is just testing what you know, plus my mom thinks it is very important for college, and I think that it's just a math and reading test that should be thrown in the trash.
5. Explain your confident level in taking the test
I would say my confident level is 10.
6. Convey what you will do about the test once you take over after graduating from college
I'll get rid of it for life.

My Weekend of Feb. 26-28,2010
This Weekend I went to my brother's soccer game. It was good, till my friend, Savannah, and I, were almost hit with a soccer ball. But we didn't HA-HA-HA!! And after the game, my brother's friend had to come with us, it wasn't fun, because my nickname is Olive Garden, or just Olive, well they just started to tease me about it, and I almost hurt both of them with a soccer ball, but I didn't. (P.S, the score was 4-2) which means they lost. Then we went to my Great Grandpa's house for my Mom's cousin Salvy. He came with his wife, and 2 boys, which 1 was 3, and the other was 10 months. It was so fun!! I got to play with my little cousin's I didn't know about till now!! Then like an hour later, my cousin Gloria, came in with her baby,(who is also my other little cousin who was born last October. (in 2009) and started to let me and my cousin who is my age, play with him.

President's Day 1860 Presidential Election
Here are some reasons why I would vote for 'Honest Abe'.
1. is because he was against slavery.
2. is because he is the greatest, fairest, most against slavery President that ever lived.
3. is because he guided the U.S through the Civil War.
4. is because he gave speeches that were about slavery, but against slavery of course.
5. is because he helped form the new Republican Party for an anti-slavery platform.
6. is because he reunited a fractured nation,and almost single-handedly ended slavery in the process.
And those are the reasons I would vote for 'Honest Abe', or President Abraham Lincoln.

Mom, I'm coming home from the War!!
Three days ago my son left for war, and we've been talking by letter, and yesterday he told me that 2 days from now, he'll be coming home from the war!! I have already phoned all of the family saying come and enjoy a celebration dinner with me and our war hero. I just hope that he will return home safe and sound. Why did I say yes in the first place. I can't sleep well at night now. I guess I'm just so excited about him coming home. (2 days later).... Finally I can see my son!! I've had to wait for 8 hours. Then there he was, standing like his father with his war uniform on. I ran toward him with arms wide open with everything I got and said,"Son.." Then he said,"Mom.." Then we ran towards each other with arms wide open saying,"Finally!!" Then we went home for our reunion.
Dear Ma,and Pa,
Your grandson just came home from war as a hero.
So come and celebrate with the family as we eat in
honor of my war hero. At 6:00 Thursday evening at my
home in Boston. HOPE YOU CAN COME!!!!
Your wonderful daughter,
Olivia.
Dear Susan and family,
You nephew just came home from war as a hero.
So come and celebrate with the family as we eat
in honor of my war hero. At 6:00 Thursday evening
at my home in Boston. HOPE YOU CAN COME!!!!
Your amazing sister,

Dear Cousins of mine,
Your cousin just came home from
war as a hero. So come celebrate with
the family as we eat in honor of my war
hero. At 6:00 Thursday evening at my home
in Boston. HOPE YOU CAN COME!!!!
Your favorite cousin,
Olivia.
Dear Diary,
I'm so delighted that my son is home
from war. I wish that his father was here though,
his father would've been so proud of him.
Now that it is time for the celebration dinner,
I must go now, till next time,
Olivia.
So I went downstairs to greet my guests when
my son came to me and said,"Mom don't let the
twins up here, they'll get into my stuff." Then I said,"
Ok.""Now go get ready for the family if you wish to eat your
favorite meal." Then he ran upstairs to get his pants on.
When I opened the door, my brother came to me and said,"Olivia!!"
"So jolly to see you.""And you look magnificent." Then I said,"Thank you.""Where's the family?" I asked."They are right here." Then my
niece and nephew came up to me and hugged me as hard as they could.
I then said,"Welcome.""Come and sit on the couch." "Dinner's almost ready." Then my son came down and everyone had already arrived
so it was clear that my son dressed real slow. Then everyone just went up to him and said,"Welcome home!" and stuff like that. Then after a long dinner party everyone had finally left. And we pretty much partied for 6 hours. Then after the dishes were washed, and the whole house was scrubbed down completely... Me and my son finally had the house to ourselves. So that meant that we would get to do 1 of his favorite things. Stare at the stars till morning.

What it's like as a slave (for a day.)
What it's like as a slave (for a day.)
Chapter 1:The horrible attack.
It all started out on a normal day in West Africa. I was in my house playing with my friend, when all of a sudden I heard some gunshots and a women screaming next door, when someone from the next nearby village bust down my door and grabbed me ,and my friend ,and 5 more men came in and ran inside for my family. Me and my friend started to scream, but the man told us that if we continue to scream, he would kill us, so we stopped screaming and we were quiet the rest of the long trip we were on.
Chapter 2:The chain journey to the coast.
40 minutes later, me and my friend and family were chained together with wrist chains and ankle chains. We were forced to walk like 40 miles to the coast, so we could be put on a ship that had other people on it.We were halfway there when suddenly my friend fainted on the ground like that. Then the man said,"Who fainted!!!" and I was brave enough to say,"My friend, sir.""Well wake her up if you can and let's get moving.""We don't have much time."So I started to wake her up, and she woke up saying,"What happened?!" then I said,"You fainted. That's what happened."" And the guy said to wake you up as soon as possible.""So I did." Half an hour later, we arrived at this strange place with these strange people who were going to take my friend and my family, and me of course, to this odd place these so called Americans call, North America.
Chapter 3:The ship ride to a new world.
While on the ship, my friend was reunited with her family because they separated my friend from my family and then.... My father just started to scream and then two guards came and said,"Be quiet!!!!!!" and hit him with the bottom of their guns.Then I screamed and one the guards turned around and slapped me hard.Then I did nothing ,but sit next to my older brother,and my mom.
Chapter 4:My arrival in America.
One morning at dawn, it had been 6months or so, or at least it felt like it.I heard some man scream, "Land Hooo!!!!" Then some man came in the gigantic room of like 2600 slaves and said,"Wake up all of ya." and some other guy came behind him with a whip as long as a boa constrictor. So my family got off the ship and knew we were going to have to start our new lives here in what the Americans called,"America".

My Marvalous Monday
It all started out when I woke up to a loud, and crazy morning around 10:30a.m. My grandpa arrived to help fix some things around the house. He was a bit noisy, and it hurt my ears. After that wild racket, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to get out of bed, and make myself some microwaveable pancakes. Those fluffy, pieces of heaven made me almost fall asleep on the dining-room table. Which was made of wood. Then I put my plate, and silverware in the sink like I was supposed to. Then I went to my restroom, and brushed my teeth, did my hair, then I went to my room and got dressed for the really cloudy, day ahead of me. Then around 11:20a.m, my brother, Jacob, the lazy couch potato of the family, said his friend Robert,and my friend Gabriella, were coming to pick us up for the movies. They were taking us to see "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs." And afterwards, they took us to CiCi's, and that was so good. Then we went over to their house afterwards. Then around 5:15, our mom picked us up, and took us home. When we got home, Jacob had to get ready for his soccer practice. So he did. Then when we were already there, my mom reminded me that I had a soccer game at 8:00. Then she told me she was just playing. It got canceled the day before. So during my brother's practice, my mom and I went to go get gas. Then we went to go get my brother. At around 8:00 or 9:00, we had finally left practice, with one of Jacob's soccer friends, Christian. We had to take him home. After we dropped him off at his house, my mom took my brother and me to Sonic. When we were taking our dinner home, I heard one of my favorite songs on the radio, "Party in the U.S.A" by Miley Cyrus. So of course I started to sing along. When we got home, we all went to wash our hands in the restroom, and set the dinner table. Then when the tv turned on, we started to eat. We were watching "Dancing with the stars." Then I went to my restroom and went to take a shower. After I got out, I went to my room to get dressed. Then I went back to the restroom to do my hair,and brushed my teeth. After that I went to my computer to start my blogging assignment. And that's all folks!!!!!!
