Jiro and I!

I think I have my inner Jiro with public speaking. Speaking in front of people and to people. I am not a shy person. I love meeting new people and getting to know them. As well as talking in front of a semi big audience and just talk. But I would like to get a lot better at that and be able to talk in a front audience with out stuttering and for getting what I am talking about.

I learned something NEW!

Yesterday we talked about the way people walk. If they walk fast then they have a purpose or reason to be some where. When people walk slow they might not have much motivation and don't really care much about getting to there place on time. I tested it out I leaned on a locker and studied people I knew with good grades and some with pretty bad grades. Most of they student with good grades walk faster to classes but still got to class late because they would hangout with friends. Still they walked faster. People with alright grades walked slow to there friend's and walked slow to class because there thought is "I'm already late so why even walk fast to class. I'm already late. Who cares." So people still got to class late with good grade or bad grades but walked to class at different speeds.

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Excited for today because it's my birthday. Hopefully everything goes well and it doesn't suck. Parents gave me my present yesterday and it was a car!!!! I've been driving it for a while now but it's finally mine.

My plans for next year

     Next year I am only taking three classes at Righetti High School. the three is Stats with Mr. Emerson, AP English and Comp. with Dr. Preston, and Government and Econ with some teacher I do not know. I am also taking A class at Santa Maria High School. The class is Advance Mechanics which is really interesting because it is part of my master piece. I'm trying to get a class or two at Handcock. I still don't know which ones but I'm going to go to there administration one of these days and sign up.

Catcher in the Rye

     I have not read this book. I haven't read it because when I read it, it just doesn't catch my attention. When I read it, I get really distracted because I'm not into it. it doesn't catch my attention like the book we read last semester Fahrenheit 451. now that book really caught my attention. Its was interesting and I would read it and wouldn't be able to put it down. So my bad Dr. Preston this book was just not for me.

Student Presitations

Chapter 4: Stadlater and Holden hanging out in the shower room. Like this girl named Jane. Beginging in the book did t criticised Stradlater and later in chapter 4 criticises him a lot more.

Chapter 5: After the steak Holden gets in a snowball fight. Holden Mal and Akeley reside to go to the movies. Akeley tells Holden and Mal about a girl he had sex with last summer with. And talk about his brother and describes him in a way that he hasn't talked about anyone else.

Chapter 6: Holden actually cares for people. And goes on a date with Jane a girl he likes. Fights with Stadlater because he went on a date with Jane. Holden and Stradlater starts to fight throughout this chapter more and more.

Chapter 7: After the fight with Stadlater, Holden goes to Akeley's room and did what Akeley does to him. Holden asked about the religion of Catholicism and then uses the Lord's name in vein. Which shows he didn't really care about that question and said it just to piss off Akeley.

Chapter 8: Walks to the train station after the fight with Stadlater. Has blood on his face with some snow. When he gets to the station this lady sits right next to him instead of in another seat that's open. He starts lying on and on after he gets started .

Chapter 13: When ever he looses something he doesn't really cared about what he looses because he's lost so much he wouldn't mind. Goes to a hotel and goes the elevator and a guy asked him if he wants to have sex with a prostitute. He didn't really think about what he
was doing so he just went with it. He's about to have sex with the prostitute he makes up the most random because he's starting to regret it.
