Travelling

This summer, as some of you know, I had the opportunity to travel to the UK for my summer holidays. While I was there I met a guy from Argentina who is around my age. Recently he has asked me to come visit him in his home country Argentina. While I would really like to do this I think it might be awkward because I have never meet his family. I also plan on spending my summer in the UK for the majority of my summer so I am uncertain about how to fit all of this in. I am told that I am supposed to elaborate on my blogs but I am uncertain about how to do this. Miss Feick any advice on how to elaborate?

Fifth Year?

I am starting to consider a fifth year again because even though I know what I would like to do, I am uncertain if I truly want to move on in my life. For me I can't really see the point of fifth year because I would just take courses that I do not really need in order to go to university. The main reason I want to come back is because I don't want to say goodbye to WO and all of the things that I have been involved in during my high school career. One of the reasons I want to stay is because of a cause that is very important to me. This cause is the environment. Our school no longer has an environment club because of the environment committee. However this group really doesn't raise awareness about the importance of the environment and is mostly made up of people who want to be in SAC but not do a lot of work. I would really like to stay and help this committee become a recognizable committee for SAC and actually consist of people who, like me, are dedicated to preserving our planet.

Dance

Every year my dance studio has a year end recital with a different theme. This year our theme is travel and countries or something to that effect. My jazz class is doing Waka Waka by Shakira for our theme and my class is going to be the Africa portion of this recital. I have been taking dance at Onstage Dance Studio for 6 years now. Not too sure on what my hip hop song will be yet. My dance teacher, Miss Jess, is about 8 months pregnant so we will be having a new dance teacher soon who will teach us our entire dance. This will be pretty weird for me because I have had Jess my entire dancing career. We are meeting our new teachers next week and I am looking forward to this new learning opportunity.

Lately I have been considering quitting my job. I have worked at this location for almost four years and I am really starting to get sick of it. I'm getting really stressed with all of my school assignments and university. I am also currently trying to maintain an 85% average so that I can go to the university of my choice. Regardless of whether or not I quit now, I will be quitting before June because I am planning to travel all summer and in order to study for my exams. I also have a ton of extra curricular activities which can get pretty stressful. For instance, on Wednesdays I go to school from 6:00-2:35, DECA from 3-4:30, and work from 5-10. Which leaves no time for homework or other things. My grandparents are also in Australia for 6 weeks so I'm pretty much running their business on top of what I already do.

whaddaya Think?

I must say that I am really enjoying this class. However like anything in life their are a few things I would change. Such as the children's story. Personally I hate having to write in short paragraphs and dumbing myself down for an audience. I feel like I'm five years old again. However I understand that this is a vital role in the literary world and has just as much importance as anything else. This just happens to be one of the things that I have never enjoyed that much so that would probably be why. and yes, Miss Feick I do realize I still need to do my children's story. I am really looking forward to the short stories because I have a really good idea for this and I actually plan on handing this assignment in on time. One thing I don't like is how us university students have to write 2 blogs because I never know what to write about so more suggestions would be perfect. As far as what I need to improve on in this course is the fact to do my children's story and to keep my blogs up to date.
