Today was my last cross country meet for the season. I wish that it wasn't over. I like running and I like being a part of a team; I mean who doesn't? I think that everyone should be apart of a team because it allows you to make friends in other grades.

Another perk of playing a sport and being on a team is that you get physical excersize. In health class we learned that you should get at least 60 minutes of excursive on most days. I don't think that anybody at Episcopal should find this too difficult because we have so many opportunities to participate in extra curricular activities.

Reading Log and Response

The activity that we did in class was actually really fun! I didn't catch on until at least half of the class had passed that we were doing exactly what the boys in Lord of the Flies did. At first we had quite a bit of trouble trying to figure put what we would do. We finally decided to put David in charge. It was quite chaotic and hectic.

We ended up using the white board to write down our plan of action. We didn’t really take into account that first graders were going to be with us. We made an entire plan and then had to change it because of them. If this excursive was a reality I don't know what we would do.

During the past couple of weeks I have been especially stressed. My grades are not where I want them to be. I have so many C's and D's. Hopefully I can bring them up before the quarter is over or before my parents see the grade. Homecoming has also been stressful. I have had to order all of the costume stuff and I had to next day deliver it.

After-school activities are also a big factor. I have something to do every day after school. I am up until 10 every night just doing homework. I don't even get to relax on the weekends because I have a Cross Country meet every Saturday and I have to wake up early to go to that. Hopefully second semester won't be so stressful.

Reading Response:
I am so glad that we get to choose three short stories on our own instead of Dr. D giving us one that we have to do. I think that I am going to do my literary analysis on "A Dead Woman's Secret". I really liked the plot twist in that one.

I also read The Sniper and Sucker. I know that a lot of people have done their analysis on those two short stories. I only read them because people said that they were good and that I should read them. I thought that they were good as well. I liked Sucker a lot; I thought that the way the story showed character was especially well done.
