Spring break is way too late this year. seriously, I cant be working nonstop like this, its unhealthy.
I have made up my mind. I'm not gonna go crazy over grades. I'll just float on through this week, cross my fingers and hope my grades don't tank.
Spring break, I'll chill for 5 days, doing fun, interesting activities, and just rejuvenating in general.
Then I'll get the AP, ACT, SAT, SAT 2 studying shit done with. come back to school with most of the pressing matters on my to do list crossed off, get straight A's (seriously, none of my AP's will actually do anything after the exam), get 5's on my exams, kill the SAT and SAT 2's, then have a little break, study more for ACT, take it, then im off!
Oh summer, so close but so far...
I just need to hold it out until Spring Break, small steps, I can do this.
other stress's:
-i hope my club gets approved!!!!!! It's gonna be so great! I've already collected the articles and stories that I want us to read!
-ahhhh! book drive! I have everything in place. I'm gonna get mrs Pickell's signature 2morow at Twinbrook, then I'll talk with the financial person, then I'll just post my fliers EVERYWHERE. I just hope people actually donate... (AHEMM, LEEDERS, DONATE BOOKS!!!)
-I need to get rid of my damn sports bra tan lines! I'm wearing a strapless dress to Junior banquet!!! I don't exactly have the time to just sit out and tan. I'm always playing sports when i'm out side!
-I want to write some stories but I dont have the time. I want to readddd!!! Ah my books, come back to me soon!
-I need shorts
-i have a cold/allergy's and it sucks
other then all that, life's good. I really love my lunches everyday. track is sweet! and I'm really enjoying this blogging thing. The first time i tried to do this was kinda a fail, I thought I had to be really deep and mature and all, but you dont, Its nice to just let loose and write stuff.
oh and it would be great if everyone else put up more posts! i find your posts to be very entertaining and not stupidly mindless like facebook.
ookay??
same about the standardized testing and classes! i'm excited that you're excited about the club. it sounds more interesting than any of the academic clubs/organizations that i'm currently in and i hope it gets approved too. and good luck with twinbrook! wow you're really busy.
ReplyDeletesooo for any social awareness campaign, but namely the special ed project we're working on, how do you go about coming up with a call to action to get people involved? are there certain considerations that maybe aren't obvious?
thankss
p.s. your/luke's shoe looks reeeally cool
I haven't worked on social awareness before. All my projects have been focused on the actual action part.
ReplyDeleteI think I would classify the How To Change The World: LEED thing I did as an social awareness campaign in part. If you still have it, read it. notice at the end, my call to action was for everyone to make a blog, and use it to facilitate introspection. Simple, but in my speech i illustrated how important it really is. More bang for your buck kind of thinking.
For the Special ED thing, namely the social awareness portion, I would have a poster/flier thing, a presentation, including pictures and video tapes, examples of what has been done before and what they accomplished (light at the end of the tunnel) and what you intend to do and want the audience to do as well (call to action).
I don't think the carnival should be the call to action, but maybe included under what has been done already. The call to action should be the next step, make sure its simple and prepackaged if you know what I mean
thanks again
ReplyDeletewe came to the conclusion that it's less of an awareness project and more just the class trying to get involved since there doesn't seem to be a suitable way to involve the rest of the school without either a) shoving it down their throats and/or b) changing the entire structure of the special ed program, which obviously isn't feasible in this time span and would take a lot more research and resources, among other things. we're also thinking of trying to set it up with either best buddies or next year's juniors so that it can be a regular thing, if this is successful.
Ahh this whole week I've felt exactly the same way you described, plus the thing about writing stories and reading. :/ AND I PROMISE I WILL DONATE BOOKS. I just need to remember to choose some to bring in.
