Online Poetry
On the online sites of where we had to learn about poetry, I did pretty good. On the little test afterward I only missed one problem and thats because I misread it. I know the words better so the website did help. The shape poems were kinda fun and I made one called "God's Love" in the shape of a star. The magnet site was not very useful and was weird. I could not find the words I needed and i saw no one else's poem. That was what the online site did for me and poetry.

This week was a different week. First I got a piccolo in band. Next the seniors were going to leave and have their senior walk today. I cried a lot. Hopefully when we play at Graduation I wont be crying up a storm. I'll miss them. Then we started light waves in physical science. Also in acting we preformed our play to Mr. G. Today in la we took the NWEA. Yesterday after school I went to my youth grow girls GROW and it was a lot of fun. I hope this weekend is fun and that everyone has a good weekend.

Nurse from Juleit
Dear Nurse,
Hark to me! I am sorry for not telling thee about my plans. Thou made me angry with what thee was saying to me about Romeo and Paris. I will fain tell you my plans now that my mind is made up.Well here are my plans now. Ere my wedding with Paris I will drink a potion to make me look and feel dead. While I am taking the potion, Romeo will have received a letter about our plan. Then our family will have moved me into my grave. That night, Romeo will show up and open the grave to let the living me out. My love and I shall then run away. Nobody but the friar and Romeo and I will know. Now thou knows so do not tell. If you tell nobody will believe you. They think I am dead. Also thou will never be able to find us. As thee can see, no matter what our love will keep us together. I hope thou can understand my choice. Goodbye my sweet sweet Nurse. Love Juliet

My First Blog
Hi everyone! This is my first blog. I'm not a big fan of blogging. What would I rather do? I would rather talk to my friends. I guess I will get used to blogging if we are doing this for four weeks.
For blogging about Romeo and Juliet, it dose not sound like that much fun to me. Also the same for poetry. Also I don't really like other people looking at my work unless I let them. Blogging our work does save trees though. Wish me luck for blogging the next four weeks in L.A.!
Goodbye for now! :)
