Journal 4/25

Over spring break I went to Colorado. My sister went to Boulder University, there for my family went to see the campus. To start our adventure off we landed at the Denver airport and went to an ihop in Denver, because I was hungry. Then we went to Vail a City known for having the highest prices for clothing but some of the best skiing mountains. In Vail I saw a lot of people skiing down little parts of the Rocky Mountains. Skiing looked like fun, but I am not good at skiing so we did not ski well we where in Vail. Next we went to our main destination Boulder. There we checked in to our hotel, set our bags on the bed and when shopping at the 28th avenue mall. After shopping we went to eat at the Dark Horse Saloon, I had a ham and cheese sandwich. After that we went to Broomfield and went to the regional Mall. Later on in the break I went to some little town that had shops. We boarded the plane in Denver and then we went home.

This American Life Reflection

Do you ever wonder how people will remember you as in 10 years? How do you want them to remember you? These are all question that where asked to people in the video. Friends and family members will remember me, but will other people. If other people remember me I hope they remember me as a nice person and not as a profanity. What do you want people to remember you as?

1.) The election of Abraham Lincoln was one of the causes of the Civil War, because he wanted to end slavery in the south and the south did not like that there for they went to war.

2.) The battle of Gettysburg once the union won this war the south could not win another battle after that.

3.) Harriot Tubman was a very important person she escorted slaves to the north. All so she was a "Conductor" or the under ground railroad.

Journal 4/14

During the 3 weeks that I had to write the story and do 20 notes on easy bib, I think I used all my class time effectively. I think that finding the notes was easiest because of how many days we got to take notes and because my book had a lot of information. On the other hand writing the essay in 3 days was a challenge for me, I do not write for the whole class time because it starts to get boring and then I do not do the essay well so I think I should have done some at home. My story will be good but I think it could be better if I gave myself more time to work on it.

Journal 4/13

1.) What did you feel like when reading this?
I cried at the memories that I had forgotten and now is the time my feelings about Abe's death are making me crazier and crazier everyday.

2.) Is it all of the significant facts on your life together put in the story?
Well most of them are but I left out some just so their just for me and my family.

3.) How did this story affect your life?
Like I said earlier I had forgotten some of the many things that have happened in my life and when writing this story I now remember a lot of what happened.

Lightning Storm

Trees crash in the middle of the night waking up the whole house
Light fills the dark cold rooms
Can't sleep when this natural nightlight peeps through the windows
I turn on a light to see if everything is ok
CRASH BOOM the lights of the house flicker on and off once then never again
In panic I reach for my phone to set an alarm for the day of school that awaits me
Lay down in the crushed up sheets I get back to sleep
Buzz Buzz the alarm rings it is 6:00 am school in an hour
The birds chirp the storm is over

Journal 4/8

Dogs

Skips, Jumps over the tall grass
Runs after bushy tail squirrels
Fights over yarn knotted together
Fetches a slobbery tennis ball
Treats galore praise there every move
Sit, Come, Stay they sometimes listen
Lick your face when tears drip
Sleep in a circle that would kill a humans back
Begs for food at the dinner table
Truly a mans best friend

Journa 4/4

In the softest voice the Doctor said, "Your husband has died."

My heart sank I did not know what to say so I said what I was thinking. Sounding very dramatic I wailed, "No, my life will never be complet with out him. The day he dies my social life will die."

This is the conversation that took place after Abraham Lincoln died.
