Week No. 3 About My School

If you are thinking about becomming part of Olympia probably the most important thing you need to know about Olympia is that everyone knows everything about everybody. It is such a small school that things get around pretty fast. Everyone knows everybody, and for the most part Olympia is a pretty great school. Some things you need to know are that tenderloin day is Wednesday and you better never miss it because they are the best. We almost never win Friday night football games, and that is probably the worst thing about Olympia. When it rains a lot the lagoon smells like something crawled in a hole and died, and when standing outside every direction you look, all you will see is corn. We have groups, or cliques as you might call them, but we are all still pretty friendly to each other, and lastly we have some pretty amazing teachers that make Olympia, Olympia.

Week No. 2 Who I Would Like to Meet

If I could meet anyone dead or alive I would choose my mom’s dad. I never got to meet my grandpa Roger because he died at a young age. For a long time he suffered from lung cancer, and it eventually took him. In fact he was so young that he never got to meet any of his grandchildren. I think it would be interesting to ask him what his life was like when he was my age. I am very close to both of my grandma’s, but I have never had a grandpa to be as close to. My Grandpa Jack, on my dad’s side, died not even a year ago and he lived in New Mexico. I’ve always wished I had my grandpa closer to home, but I realize now that it made me cherish the time I had with him even more. Getting back to my Grandpa Roger, I would mostly just want to know the little things that made him who he was. Childhood stories of himself, and his kids would be told best by him, I just know it.

Week No. 1 How School is Going

This school year feels like it is going to take forever, but I know it will fly by. I don’t like my schedule as much as last year because I go from English 2 to Spanish 1. They are too much alike and it makes the afternoon seem endless. Communication Tech is my favorite class right now. Partly because it is super easy and doesn’t take much effort, but also because it gives me a break from the stressful work of other classes. I get to be creative and express myself through music, pictures, and videos. Having biology 2 and English 2 equals plenty of homework, and being in a lot of sports is overwhelming. Sometimes it seems like I almost care too much about my grades, but I know that is a good thing. Over all the year has had an average start and getting back into the swing of things is a tad bit refreshing.
