It seems like not so long ago we entered eight grades. I would say “It seems like yesterday” but I don’t want to make it sound even more cliché. I know probably everybody is ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/06/03/my-old-eight-grade-blog/ The rain is pouring outside. I swear the sky is having a sudden case of depression since it won’t stop raining. The rain falls and falls like waterfalls. I feel like is never going to stop. Sure some rainy days are nice but I am kind of getting tired of ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/05/29/just-let-it-rain/              To please my fans (also known as marifish) I will write a post on what aspects changed in my life due to gymnastics. Gymnastics changed the way I look and think about things. It changed who I am as a person. I don’t know who I would be today ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/05/22/a-little-something-for-marifish/               As I mentioned in my last post I was a gymnast. Having said that I just finished reading Jennifer Sey’s “Chalked Up”. Along with that I have read other people’s articles, blogs, and other forms of writing, many of them with negative opinions about the book and about her. ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/05/18/chalked-up-by-jennifer-sey/ I entered gymnastics when I was five and left when I was twelve. I entered being a happy kid who had fun in gym and left being an unhappy preteen who loathed gym. Gymnastics was my older sister’s idea, and since I was a five year old who had no ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/05/12/gymnastics/             I bet at least once a day you think to yourself, “I am bored.” Well at least I know I am and the people I live around me are. Boredom, in fact just seems part of human nature. Most of us are easily bored. At least, when we do ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/04/28/i-am-so-bored/             Inspiration is so random. One day your Word document fills with the snap of your fingers and the next you have absolutely nothing to say. It is like the post I wrote a while ago “A blank Word document and nothing to say”, that was one of those uninspired ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/04/21/inspiration-is-lazy-as-well-as-random/             Tomorrow we have a guest speaker at our school. The speaker is going to be a girl from Dallas who is planning to talk to us about the holocaust (us being the seventh and eight graders). Apparently she did a bat-mitzvah project about courageous non Jewish people who saved ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/04/21/courage-vs-evil/             After last week’s post I decided I needed to find some inspiration and since I clearly couldn’t do so in my mind, I made up my mind to look in another person’s mind. This of course doesn’t mean doing some sort of mind reading or anything a la Harry ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/04/16/infinity/ I am struggling to find a topic to talk about. I mean what do I care about? I obviously care about a lot of things; my family, school, my friends… the world? I mentioned in my last two entries that I love art. I do. Then how come I have ... http://arielal09.edublogs.org/2008/04/09/a-blank-word-document-and-nothing-to-say/
