the big test

FIRST SIX WEEKS IS OVER FINALLY !!!  This week has gone by even faster !!  This is so great the 1st six weeks is finally over and all the test are too!  Marching band is still the greatest we are almost done with the final movement then it gets harder.  Marching is fun, but it’s almost competition time. Our First is in 1 week.  I can’t wait because I know we are going to do great everyone always does there best so I know we'll win.  The test that we had to do for the six weeks were pretty coo,l because we got to use are notes on almost every test I know I passed all of mine.  I hope we don't have to take harder test. I really stink when it comes to studying. I wish I could be better at it, but I'm not.  I know I'll get better at it later on when I am a junior because then the test are harder.

My six week tests were kind of easy. They were easy, because I had studied for all of them. Some of the questions were hard, so I had to give a really good guess on them. When I was taking the test, it seemed it was never going to end. I was starting to get nervous, because we had only 45 minutes in each class. The test that Ms. Peterson gave us was easy, because every night I read chapters 1 and 2 Of Mice and Men twice.

Andrew Arzate

Wow what a week, my first experience of 6 weeks test and I hate them.  I give my 6th week of high school a thumbs down, mainly because of 6 weeks tests.  I was extremely bored all week.  I did good on most of my test which is a plus, but the concept ruins everything especially because it was during homecoming.  Nobody was focused, and the entire school was acting crazy, that did not help at all.  It was a bad atmosphere for testing.

Travis Akhtari

I think some of my six weeks tests were easy, but some were challenging. I really had to but my thinking cap on. I really think I passed, because it was easy. I think journals are better to keep track of.

Adam Reynolds

School this last week has been very easy and hard.  Since that past week was the end of the 6 weeks, there has been no homework. All of the 6 weeks tests were this week I had a lot of studying to do.  I have been studying up to 11 p.m. almost every night.  Also, every test that I have had seemed easy because of all the studying.  Hopefully, all the hard work or studying has paid off, and I get good grades on all of my tests.

Life you may just look at it like a four letter word, but in reality everything you do or feel can revolve around it. Any choice good or bad can change it forever. You can risk it all or just play it safe. You can wonder what if and regret or forgive and forget. You can feel on top of the world one minute, and the next have it all fall to pieces. In a few seconds it could all flash before your eyes and before you know it you're knees praying to God for mercy. It can make you want to hug the person sitting next to you and give the kid near you a high five. It can make the butterflies inside go ' whoop whoop'. As if to say you’re on a roller coaster up down up down. It stinks but hey it’s normal. If everything were a pocket full of sunshine, I wouldn't be writing this. So whenever you want to complain just remember that someone else has it far worse than you.

On the weekend, my uncles came. It was really cool, because we went to an airplane show.
It was cool, because there were allot of different kinds of planes. Also there was a show of
planes doing stunts. And I got inside a tank from the ARMY.

Heber Torres

Well it is hard taking 6 weeks tests in all your classes especially math.  But if you study really hard  I asure you that you will not fail . Mostly because you will know your material. Wednesday and Thursday were very tiring since those were the testing days,  but I survived. And I hope not to fail  any tests ever.
Michelle Daher

The six weeks tests are much harder than I expected.  I studied forever, and yet when I hit the tests, one by one, it felt as if I had never studied.  I sat there in my seat thinking, "Why can't I remember everything I am being tested on?" It came to me, at that exact moment, that all I needed to do was to relax!  When I usually take big tests, I get very nervous and now I have found the cure!  Most people, just like me, get nervous during tests. It happens sometimes; even though you know your subject very well, you just freeze. If I could give you any advice, I would say to study over a long period of time, and don't give yourself a heart attack before a major test. Know your materials until you feel very comfortable with them!

Ashley Payne

The six week tests were finally done Thursday!!! The worst two days of my entire high school life! I studied hard, and hopefully I passed all of them! I completely failed my Geometry test; I got a 50. I do believe that I passed all my other tests, and I think report cards are coming out soon. I have also found out that I have a C in Geometry! Gosh, I wish I had gotten a B at least because now my phone will be taken away! Only crossing my fingers and hoping that I pass the rest of my classes. Doing homework does help I'm off to do that!
Natalie Serna

Hey it’s Desiree again for this week was 6 weeks testing.Yay? Yes, I don't like testing. I hate it. It’s so boring. It makes me feel as if I am there and people are staring at me! I always have space outs in that particular tim.e I really don’t know but I do. Other than that I have had a swell week (did you notice my big words and yeah I know I rock) I chilled with my friend, and it was cool. I don’t want to have a three -hour story. I also keep hearing the song Dear Maria Count Me In by All time Low. They’re an awesome band. What’s that word? Oh yea I dedicate this song to all my readers that’s your song. Also I can play guitar hero Aerosmith now. Yay! Hey got to go so talk to you later thanks bye!

Desiree Garcia

My six weeks tests stressed me out cause I had to study and go to sleep early so it was hard.
Especially baseball cause coach was pressuring us to do our best or we don’t play and he runs us like crazy.
Each day was the same bubble in and begin with a pencil so it was a standard procedure so each went by what made it go by faster was the themes of the days hah so I had a good week
Every day I studied to play ball like they say hard work beats talent.

Angel Ruiz

Last week was six-weeks exams. Oh boy it was so tiring. My brain still hurts from thinking so much. I had 7 tests in two days. My stress is at an extreme high. I had to study a lot. Now that it’s over. I can finally relax. I wish tests didn't even exist. Instead of tests, we would have a party. That’s what the presidents should do. If a president did that, I would vote for him. At least it’s all over with. Thank you, God!

Kaitlan DeVore

Well this week has been okay, except that we had to take 6 weeks tests in every class!!! I hate 6 week tests, because they are boring and that makes the class boring, too. I think the hardest test I took was the one in IPC with Mrs.Vaught. Her class is really hard!!!  The easiest test I took was in algebra. My teacher told me I got a 106, because I also got the bonus questions correct. I was so happy!!!

Gaby Guzman

During last week, we had the six weeks test. I was nervous.  The good thing was that we had four one day and three the other day.  I am very worried about my test results for third, fifth and seventh.  Those are my worst classes, I always have trouble with those.  English I never read the book, so I had to ask about it the day before the test.  Math, I love math, but it has been a little hard this year.  I hope I made a good grade! ICP all my life I have trouble understanding science!  My teacher said I had a very good grade. She even said that she was impressed.  Maybe I had a 100, I hope.

Mariana Perlasca

This week was somewhat off balance for me. We had homecoming for one, and we also had six weeks tests. The band students had a football game, parade, and pep rally to do all in one week. I am actually happy that I didn’t get to go to the homecoming parade (based on what I heard). I heard that the varsity football team was throwing candy and making fun of band members. I don’t really know why, but all I know is that our band director was mad. The homecoming dance wasn’t so bad. I actually had a little bit of fun .Well yea I have to go do my chores BYE!!!

Finally, the six weeks tests are over. The easiest six weeks test I had last week was my English tes,t because it wasn't fifty problems on a bunch of random stuff. It was about the book Of Mice and Men. I liked this test better, because we knew what to study, so we would be prepared for every answer. We even got to use our books for the test, so I'm sure that I passed it. Now I know I'll probably pass the next six weeks test in English.

Jake Zimmerman

The sixth week test to me was very easy depending on the class that it is based on.  I had the most trouble with my foreign language class, because I am not accustomed to the language.  Other classes, such as English or World Geography, on the other hand, were fairly easy.  The worst part  is that if you are in jeopardy with your grade, the test can either help you bring it up, or your grade could just go down the toilet.

Michael White

I don't like six weeks test. Six weeks test just cause you to stress. And if you don't pass it,

you  know that it will be likely that  you are going to  fail the class. Also at the end of every six weeks we will have to take the six weeks. I might as

well get used to them after a while. So far I  think I did good on all my tests.

Alexis Molina

My friends and I are going to make another video for Youtube -- a video about the matrix sometime this week. I shall be playing the character Neo. My friend will play  Smith. I hope that we get a lot of views like the last ones we made a month ago.
Eric Jurado

Homecoming is probably the best week so far! This week has been a BLAST!! Since I am a member of freshman exec., we are suppoused to dress up for the days of the week. I dressed up as a medieval queen for our freshman exec. float!! All of us on exec kept tripping and falling on our float. It was so much fun , but  painful.  That's okay, though, the important thing is that we had fun.. The best part was throwing candy at the seniors!!!

Candie Herrera

Wow, this week has been extremely crazy. This week has been so busy because of the six week tests. Unfortunately, these tests are for all of your classes. So, I was freaking out over these tests and trying to study every second I had a chance. I was very happy all the studying really helped me in some of my classes. Unfortunately though, some classes I had no idea what the answer was. So I think that we shouldn't have six week tests.   

Samantha Rago

Six week testing oh my God! They were so hard so much stuff I didn’t know. Well, on a good note I did pretty good, there wasn’t much of a change in my overall grade. The hardest test was World Geography. We not only had to memorize 50 vocabulary words we also had to explain them, it was so hard. I do have to say there were a couple of easy ones, Math and Marketing. Math was easy because it just sticks in my brain better than some of my other subjects, and Marketing we were able to use our notes. Thank heavens for small favors. This weekend was horrible because we lost our JV/Varsity baseball game to the Franklin Developmental team aka the 9th Grade team. The Freshmen team seriously it was embarrassing 7 errors! One good thing did happen in the game, a solo homer by my friend Richard. Richard's homerun put us on the score board with our only run. We lost 7 - 1. Well, as always I will talk to you more next week. Have a good one.

Nick Barrentine

This weekend was really fun. On Friday I saw my boyfriend and we went to the movies. The name of the movie that we watched was Nights in Rodanthe. Its was a really cute movie. I almost cried. Okay well that happened on Friday. Then on Saturday I had a softball game and my boyfriend went. We lost but I felt really good because my boyfriend was watching me play and throwing me kisses. The test from my classes were kind of hard.The ones that were hard were only world geography and chem/phycs. I just hope that I passed all my classes with good grades.
Celeste Casas

As I walked to my classroom, Mrs. Peterson started saying we had the 6 weeks test. Once I heard that, my heart started beating the fastest it could. I was so nervous I thought I had to calm down. When I started with the test it all changed my mind. I realize it was easy, every question it asked I knew the answer to it. Next thing I know I was done with it. I turned it in and everything, I knew I was going to ace that exam. There was nothing to worry about!
Paola Romero

The six weeks test was really hard! Some of the tests were easy, but of them were just plain hard. Some of my teachers just graded our notebooks for the six weeks test. All we did in those notebooks was journals about what we think on that subject. But, the easiest one was in English. We were tested on the book of mice and men. I hope we finish the book and the movie. I also hope they get rid of the six weeks test. If we fail the test, we fail the class even though we have a good grade in that class before the six weeks test. Six weeks test is too complicated!

Victoria Guerra

This week stunk .I can't even tell you how many six weeks tests we had. I mean, they were not hard, but it was just so tiring. The best thing that happened this week was beating Hanks in football. Although it was close, it was fun. Well high school is getting better. I know all my teachers, and I'm not getting lost in the school anymore.

Brian Keats

Recently, I've been under so much stress its almost unbearable! Every morning I wake up to the same routine; wake up at six, get ready, go to school, get through my classes, go to dance, get home around seven, eat, do homework, go to bed. Its endless and its driving me crazy! So much has been going on at home that it doesn't help. Like how my dad is constantly nagging me how he doesn't like this or that about my life and things I like. I'm never what he wants and then my older sister is stressing about college so much that everyone is hysterical. Only if things would calm down and just let me have a moment of peace. I would enjoy it so much.

Tori Kessinger

How do I stay active? I play volleyball. I'm on the freshman

Coronado

team. I have to admit we're a pretty good team. We're not the best, but maybe if we stop arguing on the court about every little thing, and work together as team we could get there. (: The season started not that long ago and I'm pretty sure we're ready to play

Franklin

this coming Tuesday. So come support us ! :D Wooo! Go T-Birds!
Heather Perez

My thoughts on the six weeks test are that its difficulty was on the middle ground. Its length was what made it difficult. It was of course boring like all other tests. This week so far as in today and by today I mean right now as I write this my mom is giving me problems yelling at me about not doing my homework right after I get home from school I believe that after school a 2-4 hour bread is a good idea. It will stop my brain from overloading.  It’s not like my homework is a time bomb in need of being defused.   I’m doing it right. What does it mater if I do it at four or at eight I still do it, and I still wake up at seven in the morning and go to school.

Dreams? To me there are three different kinds of dreams. There are goal dreams, there's sleep dreams and there are day dreams. My favorite, well, all of them. My goal dream is to one day play major league baseball for the NY Yankees. My belief of a goal dream is it has to be something you want in a bad way, but you have to work hard for it because its so far into the future. My most favorite kind of dream is sleep dreams. Sleep dreams are just that, dreams you have while your asleep. I've had some dozey dreams and some that will make you go crazy. There was one that I went from out in the wild to a building filled with monsters. Like I said some of them can drive you crazy. And the last one on my list is day dreams. I dont think I have to explain what that is I am sure you have all had one or two by now in your life. Mine tend to happen all the time especially when I am bored or when I am tired and ready to go to bed. Dreams are good things even if some of them scare you crazy but without dreams where would we be today. With out the dreams of the great inventors, writers, or scientists where would society get new dreams to dream. Well, these are just my opions on dreams and what they mean to you may be different but keep dreamin'. Nick Barrentine

We all have dreams and goals when we are little. My dreams have always been really big like being first woman president, but that won't happen. So I moved on. My dream is to become a fashion designer, and have my clothes on a runway in

London

, or better yet model my own clothes. I've always loved sewing and dressing a little funky. I'm not ashamed. My other dream is to marry Nick Jonas some day, but I highly doubt that. Hey, a girl can dream right?
Alex Cruz

My dream is of a time when I wanted to go to the PGA and I had a full year of being on the tour and I was winning all the tournaments that I started out the leader of each week. It started out that I played in the Ed Byron Nelson tournament and the first day on Thursday I got up to the first tee and the announcer said into the microphone "now on the first tee from

El Paso

,

Texas

, winner of 2 majors David Ellis" and everybody clapped and yelled. I stood up to the ball and looked down the fairway and thought in my head ok hit a good one and you have a good chance of winning this tournament. I pulled the the club back and hit the ball and right down the middle. At the end of the week I won the tournament with a total scores of 65,67,and 69.

David Ellis

Singing has always been my main goal and passion in life. I regret not starting my career as a singer when I was younger. Everyone says it would have been easier. My main fear right now is losing one of the things I love because of my plans outside of music. I have school to deal with and band events I've made commitments to. If I did become a singer, I might have to leave school and be home schooled. I'd miss my friends terribly if I left. Many people say it's not a big deal but it is for me. Some people say I'm better off as an actress because I'm such a drama queen. It's funny they think that because that's always been my second choice in careers. Maybe I could do both careers at once. I just hope my luck will come someday.

Pamela Villasana

My dream is to become a football player. I know I’m not going to make it, but I want to. If that doesn’t happen, I would like to take over my dad’s company. He runs a metal business in

El Paso

.

Brian Keats

My dream for the future is to become a pediatrician. I like to be around kids. Why? I don't know, but all I know is that that’s why I want to be a pediatrician -- the other thing is a kindergarten teacher. It’s for the same reason because I like to be around kids. I like to help them a lot because they are fun to help. That is my dream for the future.

Gloria Quinonez

Since the 7th grade I have this idea of becoming a counselor, I got that idea from my softball coach, who used to be my counselor in middle school. I think I would be a good counselor because I am a good listener and I love to help people. One of my other dreams is to be a professional softball player and play in college. I’m working on it right now. I would also love to have a wonderful family to have my own husband and my own kids.

Celeste Casas

My dream is to be in the NFL. I think if I work hard and get good grades I can make this dream a reality. My mom is going to sign me up on this program so I can get scholarships. Then I want to go to USC and play football there for four years. Finally I want to get drafted to the NFL in the 1st-5th round to a good team. That is my dream and goal.

Dominic Juarez

Not very much happened to me the last week. I showed up for school for 1 day and left sick. I experienced high fevers and got to sleep a lot. Most of my late after noons I called some of my good friends. Talked for a minute then fell right back to sleep.
I rested during the weekend, I was trying to get better for the school week that was coming. Now I am back at school and I have a bunch of makeup work to do.
It's nothing that I can't handle. That’s high school for you.

Altiha Reay

Dreams..... Everybody has them! Everybody wishes that their dreams will come true.

They will come true only if they put their mind to it. Well I for sure would. I want my dream to come true! My dreams is to go to WNBA, go to the Olympics, and get gold medals. Every time I see those Olympians on that stand getting a gold medal I could picture myself getting one. Well that's one thing i want to accomplish, for sure. It will be a blessing! People tell me that I'm good at basketball and when I grow up, that I will be able to go to the WNBA! But, I already had knee surgery, so hopefully when I'm a grown up, that wont be I'm my way. People don't believe me but I used to play for a boys city league team. I used to be the best re-bounder out of all the guys! Parents from other teams will always tell my coach that I dominated the floor. It was a good feeling, until they banned girls from playing with the guys. The team that I was on (Fire-birds) the guys and my coach especially, really helped me in basketball, so I thank them. When I keep playing basketball. I know I'll make it to WNBA!

Victoria Guerra

I dream of going to Japan when I’m older. My other goal is to learn to speak Japanese; another goal of mine is to go to college. I want to go to

Japan

when I’m older because I like the culture and the sports like kendo. I want to learn to speak Japanese for two reasons one because if I’m going to visit Japan I’d like to be able to speak the countries language and two I want to learn a second language that interests me. I’d like to go to college preferably Duke or UTEP so I can get a good job. I have one more dream -- to own and design a zoo or zoos, because working with a large variety of animals has always appealed to me.

Abraham Ettinger

There is many things that I want to have when I grow up.  I have many dreams for my future.  I want to have the perfect wife, car, and house.  I would like to be the best graphic designer and architect around the world.  I want to be known everywere.  Have every version of BMW's to be know, from the oldes to the newest.  And have a house on every mexican beach, and on many parts of

Europe

There was this night were I dreamed that  a alien or ufo  was in my grandmas  house . It all started on a  sunday  afternoon  while eating dinner outside .  All my family and cousin were talking about what they heard on the tv , about the aliens invading

el paso

. So we  talked about  it till like nine o clock in the night . But suddenly we heard some aliens noises so  all my cousins hid inside the house  but my parents told me that there was no time to hid for me to just hid with them behind the bushes with them, so I did. Michelle Daher

This week has been really fun and so was last week it was the Best!!!  First, we had a really good performance for our marching band on 2 MOVEMENTS!!! Then i found out the girl I like likes me too so life's good.  Starting a new week is so hard, but we have to start it sometime.  I have a algebra test tomorrow and it doesn't look to good for me i think I'll pass, but i knew i shouldn't of signed u[ for Pre-AP algebra.  I hope this week goes by as fast as the other weeks have gone let’s just hope it does.

Gilbert Villagrana

My week. How can I describe it….HORRIBLE! I thought every thing would go good, but it didn’t. I had so much drama and I have to worry about my grades. My life is so mashugana!!! On the bright side I am getting better in algebra. (Yes I know I sound so boring, but try writing in a bad mood!).Hey I’m almost done with guitar hero!!! Yay! Well I got to go see the premier of heroes so peace out and peace around the world for generations!!

Desiree Garcia

Dreams are a wonderful thing to have.  They make me feel good about myself when i want to do something. One of mine is to play on the

University

of

Texas

golf team, and make it on the PGA Tour, this is just one of my dreams. Another is to become an accountant for big business all over the world.  Dreams are what I push myself for and I will try my best to do them

Travis Ahktari

My dream since the day I turned seven has been to one day become a pediatrician. As I turn fifteen my dream is no longer a dream it is now my goal.

Heather Perez

We all have dreams like go to

Paris

or win the lottery. My dream is to see Pee Wee in real life and talk to him.I just don't want to see Pee Wee at a concert i want to talk to him in real live, i want to see how he is.Pee wee is this cute Spanish and English singer that is 19 years old. He was in two groups but know he is singing alone. I been his number one fan since he started singing in the group Kumbia Kings. Every time Pee wee is on TV my parents quickly call me to go see him,  i get very exited. I would be the happiest person a live if my dream came true!  To see Pee Wee and talk to him.      

Priscilla Pallares

When I was around 7 years old I had a scary dream about dinosaurs! I think the reason I had that dream was because I was watching

Jurassic

Park

and, back then I thought that movie was scary. So, back to the dream,  as I walked around I saw that there was a whole bunch of different dinosaurs there was some big and small ones and there was some good and bad ones. While I was still walking a building popped out out of nowhere, the building looked old and spooky and it was kinda torn apart but, for some reason I went inside and as soon as I opened the door I was attacked. It was a whole bunch of raptors and they looked hungry! So of course I started to scream like a little girl, and started to run if I wanted to live. Then all of sudden one of the raptors got me and started to...... Well that's all I remember cause I woke up and til this day I'm still scared of dinosaurs.

Damian Ortiz

Well I don't really have that many dreams; but one dream that I have for when I get older is to be a pediatric nurse. A pediatric nurse is a nurse that works with the babies after they are born. I really love taking care of babies and doing that is my dream job. I already know I want to go to college  to be that. Well that is one of my dreams and I hope someday it will come true. 

Gaby Guzman

I was really tired so I went to sleep. As soon as I know I was in the World Cup final playing with

Mexico

. The game was against

Brazil

. It was a hard game and I scored two goals. After the referee said the game was over, we won the World Cup. And I was really happy, then my mom woke me up and it was time to go to school.

Heber Torres

What I dream about is when I make the Coronado T-Bird basketball team I will so happy and I will try my best and give it my all because I know I can do and when I make the team I will not be a minor player and my motto is don't just be good be better and try your best. One night I was dreaming that we were down by three points and then they through me the ball and I had to shoot a three to tie up the game the pressure was on but then when the clock went to 3 seconds I launched the ball and I made my team meets were so happy of me and I was so happy for my self to and even my coach was happy so then we went into over time and we won the game and we were so happy that meant that we were going to the finals for the district, and I was the happiest man alive.   

Adam Reynolds

Today was a long week.  Monday night at around eleven a friend called to tell me a friend’s dad died.  The next day everybody was sad, and after school we went to go visit him. They told us there was still a chance he could be all right. But then Wednesday we went again after school to visit him, but they gave us some bad news.  Then Thursday I just stayed home thinking about so much.  How some things would change for my friend.  Then Friday we went to a race of his because he dedicated it to his dad.  From there we wen to to Texas Road House, but one the way the police stopped us since we were 15 in a truck.  Saturday I went to two of my brothers’ games, and from there we went to the rosary of my friend’s dad. Some week.
Jessica Puentes

I had a dream the other night and it was about cereal characters coming out of there box and killing everyone. These characters included Captain Crunch, the Coco Puffs bird and the Frosted Flakes tiger. They could not kill me for some strange reason. So I had to try and kill them. I tried everything to kill them until I sprayed milk at them and melted all of the characters and no one ever got killed by them again.

My life dreams are to become a doctor because my dads a doctor and I find what he does very interesting and cool. Another reason my dream is to become a doctor is because I want to save lives of people. My other dream is to graduate from college so i can go to medical school after I graduate from college.

Benji Levin

My dreams or aspirations/goals are not exactly dreams because dreams are usually fictional, and goals are definitely achievable. I plan to get good grades all the way through high school, so from there I can apply to a good college and study hard. If I study hard enough and attain a good grade point average I can apply for a good

Dental

School

. These are the steps I have to achieve to be a dentist. Dentists can make good money with decent hours to have a family and to be able to support them. I know some day I will achieve not my dreams but my goals.

Jake Zimmerman

It was a nightmare and it started with me watching the news. They metioned some weird weather on the news. They said "Asia and Europe were already destroyed and the evil cloud was coming to the

U.S.

and the news confrence described the clouds as dark lava clouds.I quickly rushed outside and looked into the sky and there they were huge dark clouds with heat already searing the peoples skin off. As if that wasn't bad enough now the clouds started to rain lava rocks. Everyone started to scream and millions of people including my family and friends died. This nightmare ends with so much impact that a gigantic shock wave smashed the earth into dust.

Amiri Tel-Oren

High school is different as I have said before.  Many new people and things.  But I have been suprised at the prices of somethings. Last week at Albertson's the lady selling chicken charged me $5 dollars for 5 pieces of chicken.  I didn't notice the price and I waited forever in the checkout line just to learn it was $5.  I finally get to the top of the line and next thing you know I need an extra 50 cents.  After spending a long time trying to think about what to do the cashier finally pitches in the money and I am on my way.  But thats not the only time that happened.  The following day my friend has no money and my other friend only has $3 and I have $5 so in all we had $8.  We were planning on buying 5 chili cheese dogs and 2 drinks.  We get to the end of the line and it happens to be 25 over $8.  Once again I had to sit there and hope someone would pitch in.  Sure enough some people that were fed up with line gave us the remaining money.

Michael Norwich

Dreams. My dreams are one of the weirdest dreams in the world. One of them is when I thought that I had won the lottery. But there are many kinds of dreams that are scary to. One of my scary dreams was that I was being attacked by this big monster that could crush me into 1,000,000 pieces. When I woke up I thought it was the worst dream ever. Another dream that sucked was that a lot of zombies were attacking me and I only had a hand gun. Imagine getting crushed by all of them.

Well to tell you the truth I really like to sleep a lot because I have a wild creative brain that makes me have really awesome dreams. Here goes one of all of them. Well it was one rainy night and I had to go buy some groceries at Wal-Mart. So I go and I look at some stuff then I stop to see some paintball guns. They were really cool but out of nowhere, I start to hear and see a lot of people screaming and running and I see this man fall down and asked him what’s wrong and he replied “They’re alive, the broccoli are alive.” So I look up and the huge broccoli with a nacho cheese gun, blasting everywhere he could see. So I hid and went back and opened a paintball gun and snatched a gas tank on it and put some paintballs and went to hunt some broccoli. Everywhere I went cheese was slimming down the walls and green footprints everywhere. I somehow felt like Rambo because I was just shooting and shooting. After five hours of fierce battle between the broccolis and me, I came victorious and the whole Wal-Mart was saved. Then the president came to congratulate me and said some words but I couldn’t hear him. Then suddenly I just here “RANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG”.

    I wake up and my alarm was sounding and the shining sun rays hit my eyes and woke me up in seconds. I guess that was about the most adventurous dream I ever had.

Wow. We've all heard of that word "Dreams are they?What's the whole meaning to that word?Well to me, that word reminds me of opportunities. What's my dream?My dream is to be a professional dancer.Not just any dancer. A professional HIP-HOP dancer.=D Yeah i know, as soon as you hear the term "hip-hop" you automatically think of girls grinding and dancing half naked.Well, if you think that's my dream..all I'm going to say is, "hahahahahahaha, no!".I have standards.That's a word that's starting to lose its meaning little by little.Girls and even boys now a days don't know the meaning of it.Anyway, I wanna be in music videos, you know all that cool stuff.Work with famous choreographers, and maybe even become a choreographer myself.=)

The last football game was awesome. We won. I hung out with alot of my friends and we won. That was the best time I had at the game. My last test I took for algebra I got a 97 I was so happy I was about to cry. Homecoming is next week I so wish I could go.  It would be so much fun, but my parents won't let me! Ugh!!! I want to go so bad! The homework is getting easier. I can't wait till the next football game and I hope we win. That would be so awesome.

Kaitlan DeVore

One of my dreams was that my mom had died. That was really scary because I was with her and she was fine and eveything. The next thing you know she is lying on the floor dead. I was screaming saying '' No mom wake up wake up.'' She wouldnt so them I called my aunts and they came and one of them was holding me and the other ones were calling 911. Once I heard the sirens I woke up. I was breathing hard and sweating.

Kimberly Alonzo

When your life is as busy as mine, you don't get to dream. I usually stay up late because I had practice or a lot of homework. Then the next morning I have to wake up to get ready for school. There are those couple of days when I do get to sleep late, but I don't even remember my dreams. One day I plan on sleeping until I get tired of sleep!
Sara Salas

For the past several years (about 6 to 7 years) my dream has been the same, losing weight. By looking at me now I'm not as chunky as I used to be. The reason for that is sports. If it wasn't for my family and god pushing me into sports I wouldn't be who I am today. I've been in sports since seventh grade with football and basketball. Now a freshman in

I feel like I'm right, like this is who I am. My dream is still on a pursuit to my happiness.

Brandon Castaneda

Good grief...  Being  in the 9th grade makes you wonder,
how in the world did some of these people make it this far.
One time in Geography, I was talking to my friend,
we were going to take a test and out of no where she starts singing
' La la la la la it goes around the world' over and over. So I said "Dude shut up! I think you have ADD or something." The boys think they're so cool because they walk around with their pants low and their boxers showing. If I could, I would slap each of them up side the head and say, "If you still live with your mamma and daddy you an'it Gangsta!" My gosh it looks like theey're wearing a diaper.Your not cool, espeacially when you see their boxers and its the same one for three days. Hun if y'all need a pair call me, Savers is right next store I will gladly hook you up. Psh don't even get my started on texting.  I hate texting. I used to think it was the greatest thing ever known to man kind, but honey have you ever heard the saying go above and beyond. Dang! man
Who in the world is going to understand "WuDD ^

Dreams can either be what you do at night or what you look forward to in life, the one I'm talking about is life. My life long dream is to one day  become a great swimmer and maybe even become an Olympic swimmer.  It might be a long shot but its all worth a try in the end.  But even if I don't go to the Olympics my dream is to stay involved in water, become a coach and get my kids involved.  Swimming is a great sport and it’s allot of fun and I really hope that someday my dreams will come true.

Ashely Payne

The word “dreams” always tends to remind me of a couple of things. Everyone should have dreams. Fortunately, I have many dreams. Over the years my dreams have changed and become more realistic. Right now my dreams are to get a scholarship to UCLA for soccer and debate. My other dream is to be accepted to Harvard Law school!!! I know these dreams are hard to achieve, but I know that I can do it.

Samantha Rago

High School is so complicated theres some good things and theres a lot of bad things. Extremely bad things. Some good things would be that you know you meet new people, iv'e met some like Frankie and Marco and Nick some others too. theres the open campus and if I didnt have detention everyday I would enjoy, theres the freedom we get and all those things, theres Daisy, Nick, Manny my friendships with them have stayed the same (or gotten better)and hopfully they will last a while, nothing lasts forever. Theres also the bad things I dunno why, but High School changes you. A lot. Maybe you moved to a different school or maybe you didnt but theres a lot of things that I wish had stayed like my friendships with some people like Jeannette and Manny and Ricky and Abbie eventually were not even going to be friends (and maybe even hate each other). I think its really crazy how people think, like Abbie's parents for example they threw her in that early college. sure it could mess up her chanses of having a real dream I think that all the people that go there just killed their real dreams for what? For four years of extreamly hard work, stress, and obviously sleepyness. You might ask what kid in their right mind wants to go in there? well none of them I could be you all the money in the world that every single kid in that school had their parents make the decisions. I mean were just 9th graders what the hell do we know about dreams right? Well its our life not yours just leave us the hell alone I’m going to do what ever makes me happy for a living even if it means giving up a lot of things (theres a downside to everything) just suck it up. I think that school is going to drive people into drugs and alcohol but i mean were never right right?

Jose Hernandez

This week has been hard. For one, I am failing two classes, and I am in danger of failing English. And if I fail any classes, I won’t be able to march for the rest of the marching season. And tomorrow the

Lincoln

students are going to play the football game with us during half time. In other news, homecoming is coming up soon. I don’t think I will go for two reasons. One, I don’t have a date’ two, I don’t want to go, because I know that I will somehow embarrass myself in front of a lot of people. Well yea I have to go finish my algebra homework so yea, PEACE!!!!!!!

My dream is to go and travel the world. I want to explore cultures, food and people.   Going and meeting new kinds of people is a challenge in different types of places.  At this age I want to do so many things.  Another thing is to help homeless people that don't have food or shelter and show them how to read and do many other things.   I want to become a famous chef and come out on T.V and do my own cookbook.  Usually this is kind of funny, but the movie RATATOUILLE was inspiring because it is true everybody can cook.  So that is a great way to put it that way put your dreams first and never stop dreaming.
ALEXA DE ALBA

My 1st dream is to be a diesel mechanic, working on this big truck getting my hands dirty full of grease, and oil . My 2nd dream is to be a musician . I play alto sax; a great instrument for me because I like it . I wouldn't want to changeI like playing alto and even have one a black one.

Luis Valadez

My dreams in life is to one day become a lawyer, Doctor, politician. I think the reason as to why I want to do this is because I love to help people, or because I'm good at debating.  I think if one day I could do one of these would be so cool because then all that work wouldn't be for nothing. And if I were a politician, I could help the world. Hopefully I really would like to help the environment because I Love all the animals, the plants, everything on earth and to lose all of that would really break my heart.  If I don't get to do them I'll still be happy because as long as I got to make someone"s day.

My future dreams are to someday be able to work for Pixar. My life goal is to be an animator. In college, I plan to study art and computer graphics. Being an animator would be my dream job. I can't wait till the day that Pixar hires me.

Christina Kettinger

Everyone has a Dream that they want to make come true. My Dream is the following.
Over this period of time I've learned a lot  from my father, how he does business and negotiates. I decided when I grow up my dream is to be similar to my father. Not exactly everything like him, because everyone is different in this world. I want to become a Corporate Lawyer. I want to go to

Harvard

Law

School

. It's a goal I want to achieve. Its worth fighting for I think because, for the rest of my life I will have a future secured.
I believe everyone should go on the directions of your dreams we should all try to make our dreams come true. Believe in ourselves and what we want to do.

Vanessa Duran

My dreams are to become a video game designer, become a very good-graded student, and to go to DeVry. I would like to become a video game designer since most good video games nowadays are too mature and adult for young kids to get, so I plan to fix that with a few
video game ideas I have created in my head, but I'm not going to tell you. I'd
also like to become a very well graded student so I can get into college easier
and  have some spare time for other things. Also I'd like to go to DeVry since I have heard many good things about the college and how it creates video game experts, writers, designers, and artists. But as we all know, all dreams may require hard work and determination. I know very well though, that I will make my dreams come true, and become the best video gamedesigning smart guy who graduated from DeVry and came from

El Paso

Bart McGill

My dreams when I get older are to get my Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Another one of my dreams is to be a Professional Super Cross Racer. I think that both of my dreams are very possible for me when I am older. I want to attend college here at UTEP. The reason I want to be a Mechanical Engineer is because I love working with or fixing or developing machines of any nature.

Shade Gimler

My dream in my life later on to be a biologist or a veterinarian. I want to help animals and I want to learn more about them. I also want to study in

Boulder

,

Colorado

University. I also want live in

Denver

,

Colorado

later on after I finish college.
That my dream for life.
Andy Guiterrez

As a teenager in high school, I don't have big dreams but as of now my dream is to get into college with a full scholarship on tennis. I know its really hard to do, but I would like to get into college and study science and math and hopefully,  become a good chemical engineer.
Im not the type of person to plan things way ahead but I know for sure I want to go to college.I love to live life to the fullest and I take life day by day. My dreams are not too complicated or impossible so I am going to try my hardest to live them out and become what I want to be.

Taylor McDonald

My dream for my freshman year is to not lose a game in basketball. Another one is to get placed in a golf tournament. My most important dream/goal is to get all A's in my classes or at least an A average. I hope i can follow through and most of these dreams come true.

Paul Pounds

I've had many dreams in my life, and I'm bound to have many, many more. My dream is to have a job I like, that pays well, live in a moderately-sized house, and have a calm life. The job is the most important part, because without it, I can't have an okay house or a calm life. Most of the jobs I like require a high level of education to obtain. A profession I am interested in studying is Microbiology.

Daniel Carranza

Throughout my life i have encountered many decisions that could possibly take me as far as i wanted in life but there is one main dream that i want to fulfill. That dream is to be a professional football player. This dream occured to me in seventh grade when I started playing the sport. Football is my favorite sport. I'm a determined athlete who strives to achieve the best that I can be for myself and others. I will do whatever it takes to be that person and work harder than i have ever worked before.

On Campus and Off: The Inside Scoop

Boy, baseball practice was hard with coach making us throw long tosses and my arm hurting so badly that it felt like it was going to fall off. Saturday I had my first baseball game, and we beat Mountain View 5 - 1. It was awesome. Before the game started, it was raining. That stunk, because I was in the outfield. It got really hot. I did horribly at first and dropped one ball and struck out once. My next at bat I hit a grounder, and someone came in to score.

Nick Barrentine

This is the third week of school, and there are still no seats available. I feel uncomfortable watching other people sitting on the floor. I feel stressed out not getting enough sleep. If this keeps going, I don't know what’s going to happen.                                    

Veronica Maldonado

This week I am getting my first progress report.   The grades are based on everything you do, like participating in class.  The teachers give you quizzes every week that are worth a lot of your grade.  The quizzes are a lot like those from 5th grade -- like the quiz I took in my world geography class.  My teacher made us remember all the 50 states.       

Jacob Garcia

Everyone is getting sick. We all started with a cold, but, for me, it got worse. I’ve had a temperature. My friends share everything and are always together. It is easier for us to get sick, because we pass it on. In all of our classes, we are just asking for Kleenex. Priscilla Pallares

Every Monday I go to drum lessons at 6 to 6:30.  Lately, my drum instructor has been showing me different styles of music.  He's also been showing and teaching me different beats that go with those different styles of music.  Today we went over this one beat that sounds like a little bit of a jazz and rock mix.  It's a pretty hard beat to play, but I think if I practice it a lot, I'll be able to get it down.

Dillon Sanders

I went to this party with my friends, and I got My Guitar Hero! I had the greatest weekend, but it had ups and downs. My friends got mad at my other friend, so it was like a rerun of Ugly Betty or something (i.e. I made my friend give the other friend another chance). I also am really mad because my

Chihuahua

is trying to get back at me by peeing in the water bowl. Not cool!

Desiree Garcia

The

Coronado

vs.

Americas

game on Friday was so cool! I had a lot of fun dancing and screaming for our school. We performed and things went well. As soon as we got on the football field to perform, my heart started pounding. I got nervous for some reason, and I have performed in front of big crowds many times. We positioned ourselves and took a deep breath. The music started and so did we. When our performance was over, we walked off the field and waited for the band to play the school song. When all that was over, we went to the stands to cheer for

Coronado

. We were all having so much fun. I was screaming at the top of my lungs, and, best of all, there were no big black ugly beetles flying around. There was a man giving out samples of some type of popcorn. I tried it, and it was the best popcorn I had ever had.

Karen Campos

As my day went on, I couldn't think that things would get worst. Failing my IPC class, getting a referral in P.E because I didnt suit out. I guess my day wasn't so great. It was extremely windy! My hair was all over the place, and, with the wind, it got a little chilly, too! Progress reports are coming out soon. I really do hope I'm passing all my other classes at least with a B or a C. Homecoming is in two weeks, and it’s getting more exciting by the day. My best friend Danielle and I are going to go pick out our dresses. Hopefully, we can find the perfect one!

Natalie Serna

I can’t believe that some of my teacher gave me homework last Friday. So on Sunday night I went to sleep like after eleven just because I was doing homework. My weekend was kind of boring. On Saturday I wanted to go to my friend’s quinceañera, but my dad didn’t let me.   

Celeste Casas

On Friday my friends and I went to the movies. We entered the hallway where all the movies are, but instead we sneaked into a funny movie and had a blast. After the movie was over we walked to the McDonald’s in Wal-Mart. Saturday I went to the football game for the freshmen who lost. I got invited to a party at the Willows. I also had a blast at that party, too -- dancing and meeting girls.

Alfonso Nevarez

On Monday, a group of friends and I planned on ditching school. My plan went well until my mom rolled by us. She knew we ditched, but she still asked me what we were doing. I told her we had an out. My mom called the school to see if I was ditching or not. School said I was. We still journeyed to

Franklin

to kill time. Into Wal-Mart we went. Two of my friends left. So it was only two of us. He tried to steal condoms. On our way out the manager stopped us. They charged me with being an accomplice (even though I did nothing). We were arrested and dragged down to the station. We waited for our parents to pick us up. Went back to school. Now I have ISS.

Aaron Harris

This week has been the hardest for me so far. My IPC class is so hard! I don't get a word the teacher says no matter how many times she explains it to me. On Friday we had a test on what we've gone over, and today she gave it back. Only four people passed it, and I wasn't even close. The good thing is that she went over it and let us correct the answers. I'm starting to understand it a little better.

Pamela Barrera

This past Saturday I went to the indoor skate park for my friend's 14th birthday. It was my first time there, and I have been dying to skate there forever. It was worth the wai, because we were able to skate for about three hours before anyone else showed up. No one to get in our way while we skated the half pipe and the sets. My friend, the birthday dude, was not having a good skate day, because he snapped his board doing a kick-flip off the five stair. In Layman's terms that means he skated off a set of stairs with 5 steps and broke his board in half when he landed on the ground. At least he only broke his board. One more board to add to his wall of shame.

Jake Zimmerman

This last past weekend I got really sick. On Thursday, after our game at Coronado , I went home feeling really sick. I talked to my dad about how I was feeling, and he said that I didn’t have to go to school. So, Friday I didn’t go to school. Morgan Smith

My Uncle Roman from Franklin (11th grader) is always telling me that high school is fun, and, by the end of this year, I will have a lot of friends. I don't believe him at all Victoria Guerra

I was told by my math teacher that my grade is very low. I have extra work assigned to me that will bring up my average, so I’m not too concerned. My scout troop went to Elephant Butte.  We traveled with an Adventuring Crew; a new kind of Scouting where boys and girls scout together.  The crew did many things I had not done before like wind surf and canoeing.  We swam in the lake, and I met a lot of great kids that go to school with me that I did not know until meeting them there. 

Ehren Wiener

Math isn't quite my subject, and I have pre-ap.  I wish I didn't, but my dad wants me to stay in.  Sunday I got home around seven. I started my math homework right away, because I can't have a bad grade in that class.  My dad had to help me for two problems.  But those two problems took forever!  Just one took me about 30 minutes.  Then we didn't even have to turn it in.  I offically don't like my teacher.
Jessica Puentes

On the first day of school, I went to my zero period which was basketball. I couldn't play, because I had a broken toe. When it healed, I had to play well so I didn’t’ get cut from the team. I worked my butt off in practice, and I was sweating like a pig. I kept pushing to do my best. Then practice was over. I was so tired when we got back to the locker room. Tey started calling people in. If your name was called then that meant you got cut. I was so happy my name didn't get called.

Adam Reynolds

I had to go all the way to the SAC to help the CHS band. Everytime the band performs a half-time show, my sister and I have to tape down pads on the stadium so band members won't get their uniforms dirty. We also get to help load and unload all of the equipment the band uses. I guess it's okay, because I get to watch the game and hang out with my friends. I like helping because I get to go along for the rides to the away games. The whole band is a lot of fun, so helping is something I don't mind doing.

Sara Salas

I had a bad result on my biology test, but it should be all right.  Geometry is the class I need to worry about, because I have a C average. If It stays like that till report cards, my mom will take me off the golf team until I get my grades up. Travis Akhtari

Mr.Capshaw, my band director, wanted us to march in the 9/11 parade on Saturday, even though it wasn't going to be 9/11. I wasn't really excited about it, because it was going to be on a Saturday. On Saturdays I like to sleep in late. If I don’t I usually get cranky! So, on Saturday 9 a.m., we were supposed to meet at Cielo Vista Mall. Also, the rodeo was there. When there’s a rodeo, there are horses. Where there are horses, there’s poop, and there was no pooper scoopers!!! So we marched on the poop. I knew I should have stayed in bed!

Damian Ortiz

The fall baseball season for

has just started, and I am feeling the pressure to make the varsity team. I think my chances are good, especially given that the baseball team last year went 1 and 15. But the coach still hasn't gotten my name right.

Michael White

I lost my binder. It had all the work from all my classes. I got all zeros from all my teachers. And I might have to repeat all the work that I had in it. Jorge Rivas

My weekend was great because of the victory we had against

Bird is the Word

Going out to eat, seeing cute boys, realizing we're not middle schoolers anymore – these are all big parts of my world as a teenager. HIGH SCHOOL! My friends and I went out to eat this Friday. Not knowing we had such little time, I was late to class!! I’ve never been late to a class before. Teachers do not take excuses. You have to have a note, and I, for one, did not have a note. My P.E coach gave us a warning, telling us that next time we will get detention. After school is probably the hardest time for me. I have to take the school bus. The first time I tried to get it, I missed it. You have to sacrifice going to your locker after school, hanging out with friends, talking to that really hot guy in one of your classes. It’s pretty cool how I have family members who go to my school too! I have one brother who’s a junior, a cousin who is also a junior, and a sister who is a freshman like me. Things might get tough, but, for right now, I'm living for the moment. And right now I'm loving it!!
Natalie Serna

Since last week was the first week of school, I missed being with my friends.  It was great, we went to all kinds of places. We went to the movies and shopping.  I really enjoy my weekends, because I study all week. In the morning, I do my homework. At night I go out, and mom makes the rules.

Mariana Perlasca

I get up in the morning,  and I say to myself I survived the first day of high school. I’m sure the second day will be a lot easier. But, boy, was I in for a rude awakening. I get out of bed and my mom starts shouting at me to hurry up. I'm like okay, Mom, I will. Normally when she says that it’s because it’s 7:30, and class starts at 8:45.

She replies with a motherly, "You should cut your shower short today, hon." I say, “Yes maam. I grab my clothes, close the door, and jump in shower. I'm in the shower singing, "Get up,” by Rose Falco. I hear pounding on the door, "Dude, hurry up". So I hurry the best I can (which we all know is not the best I can).  I open the door, and my sister says we’re late. I look at her and say it is 8:00.  She goes to check the clock. I look ,and, darn, it’s 8:35...I hurry out without eating breakfast. We get there, and it’s 8:40. I rush out of the car to find my locker. I get my book, rush up the stairs, and find my class. Right as I walk in, the bell rings. My French teacher says, “Detetion!!!!."
Karla Estrada

Boy trouble is the absolute worst thing we teenagers go through.  First, they flirt with you until you have fallen for them. Then they ask you out. When you think it’s going perfectly, they dump you. They make you want them back so badly you'd do anything to be with them. He has had more girlfriends than I can count. I’m trying to think of a way to avoid boy trouble, but these days it’s pretty hard. There is always going to be that one boy who left a foot print on your heart.

Maddy Hirsch

I went to the movies on Friday with all my friends. We went to see House Bunny. After the movie, we went outside, and it was really cold. I was the only one with a small jacket. We hugged so that we could get bodyheat. It really didn’t work too well. Dafne Oropeza

High school is great, but today I fell.  It’s a long story, but it is really funny! I have Cross  Country 7^th period , and they had us running without shoes. As I was going to warm up, I ran and I slipped on our new football field!!  It hurt, and my friend Carley kept laughing at me.  At least someone got a laugh out of it -- including me and my coaches.

San Francisco

. So he promised me he was going to take me with his friends to just relax. I have to say it was really fun. we didn’t drink or do anything wrong. We just talked about the old times he and his friends when they were at

Coronado

High School

. We laughed and talked for some hours and had fun. Then came the time that I didn’t want to come -- taking him to the airport. It was like around 5:30 in the morning when we took him. He went to the airline to check his ticket. We walked to were they checked the bags and everything else. His friends came along with me and my parents and brother to say goodbye to him. So then he started to say goodbye to his friends first, then my brother and my parents, and me at last. I guess he really cared for me as much as I did him, so it was sad. We hugged and said goodbye. He went up the stairs to the airplane entrance, and tears started to roll down my cheek. I started to think that I was really going to miss him a lot, seriously, but, at the same time, I was happy. He was finally going to start the career he wanted and a new life over there. Then he disappeared into some hallways. I was crying rivers of tears the whole morning, but I toughened up and realized it was for his own good. I also thought that it was going to be me someday, and my little sister was going to be there to say good-bye to me. I still wonder what career will I choose to go along with my life.

Alfonso Nevarez

This week in high school has been really hard. I have had homework everyday from almost all of my classes. I am struggling with my pre-AP geometry class. Now I understand the class more, but I was having a lot of trouble simplifying radicals. I am struggling with pre-AP Biology also. I am stressing right now for a test on Tuesday that is thirty percent of my grade!!!!! One thing that high school has me thrilled about is soccer tryouts (also really nervous, too, though).  I also really like my debate class. I think that this subject is a lot of fun; I can express my feeling about something and will not get scolded for it. One thing that I wish that

Coronado

would do is to extend our lunch period, so that we can go a little farther off campus.

Samantha Rago

This week I’ve been frustrated, because there were students changing classes. I had nowhere to sit. Some kids sat at the desk of the teacher.

Veronica Maldonado

My days at

Coronado

are great, but…there is so much homework it’s not even funny. The football games are fun – except for the beetles! It was like a beetle festival! IT WAS SO GROSS!! The other thing that is hard is trying to pick out an outfit. It was so much easier in middle school, because you had a uniform. I’ts so difficult to do a different hair style each day, too. Fridays are so hard because of all the tests, and you don’t even have time to study. Football games on Thursday nights make it hard. I think they should make the tests on Thursdays, and they shouldn’t have homework on Thursdays. It’s very difficult.

Kaitlan Devore

School is going pretty well right now. I only have a problem with lunch. Like we have to stand in those horrible long lines, and it’s hot outside. I get back to school late sometimes because of that.

Kassy Cortez

Schedule changes. That was my week.  I got to school early on Tuesday and had to wait in the longest line to change one class.  Of course, they changed my whole schedule.  So, pretty much I started school all over again.  Plus, golf practice started. I had a lot of homework everyday, so I was going to bed late and waking up early all week.
