Old friends, new friends- I started Stevenson with many friends. Some of those friends were Melissa, Bari, and Isabelle. While at Stevenson I also meet a lot of new friends. Some of those friends are Katie, Annie, Ashley, and Jenny. I met them through the classes we have together and from cheer.
SHS activities attended-I have attended all of the freshman football games because I cheer at them. Although sometimes the games are cold it’s always really fun. I also went to the freshman dance with my friends. That was also really fun. My friends and I also went to a varsity football game but it was really cold and there were bugs everywhere. Soon I will be going to the Homecoming Dance.
Funniest, Weirdest, Scariest moments- The weirdest moment of the year so far was when a random kid came up to me and started talking to me about C lunch. Then the kid just walked away. The funniest time of the day is lunch because of Bari. The scariest day of high school so far was the first day because I didn’t know what to expect and I didn’t know if I had friends in some classes. The first day turned out to be okay. I found out that I had friends in every class.
Hardest, easiest class and assignments- The hardest thing to do was studying for Mrs. Bergeski’s unit test. My easiest class is either Biology or French. The hardest class assignment was the thirteen paragraphs we had to write for Mrs. Bergeski’s class. That took me a long time to do.
Top five current events- One of my favorite current events was the one about Ardi. She was a 4.4 million old skeleton they found. I also liked the current events about the Lions winning their first game in three years, Noble peace prizes, and all or the earthquakes and tsunamis in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Faces in the News- President Barack Obama won the Noble Peace Prize. Governor Jennifer Grandholm vetoed a portion of the LPS money. Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland.
Interesting new words- Some new words that I have learned this year are ethnocentric, opaque, and inquisitive.
Popular or Memorable songs- Some of my favorite songs right now are “Halo” be Beyonce and “Now I’m that Chick”. I love listening to 955 too.
Popular or memorable Movies- One of my favorite movies would have to be She’s the Man. It’s really funny and Amanda Bynes is in it and when I was younger I used to love her. I also like the movie Twighlight.
Rumors and Gossip- Jon and Kate have split and their eight kids (Mady, Cara, Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Collin, Aiden, and Joel are in the middle of it. They used to all be a part of the show “Jon and Kate plus 8” and one of TLC’s biggest success’s. They were going to start a show called Kate plus 8 but they can’t because Jon won’t allow them to.
Fads and Trends- For fall the latest trends are plaids and moccasins. Early this summer the trends were neon nail polish and gladiator shoes. In the winter of last year UGG’s and small bows in your hair was in.
First Cultural Event- My first cultural event was at Hartwick Pines State Park. I wrote a paper on it. Hartwick Pines State Park was a park with a lot of trails and paths to walk on. It was full of trees and nature. There was also an old mining site we could look at. It was very peaceful there.
Homecoming- Homecoming was really fun. My friends and I went to my house for pictures then went out to Max and Erma’s to eat. Although our waiter was really slow it was still fun because everyone was admiring our pretty dresses. Then we went to the dance. The dance was so much fun. After that we went to my friend’s house and had a party/sleepover.
Advice to Freshman- I would suggest to all future freshman to study hard and to get involved. When you are involved in an extracurricular activity it is so much more fun because you get to meet a lot of new people and you have something to do if you ever get bored.
What I’m looking forward to- I’m looking forward to the winter season. I love coming home from school and having a warm hot chocolate. I also like sledding with my friends. I’m also really looking forward to the competitive cheer season. It’ll be hectic but it will be fun too.
Other noteworthy achievements and events- I made the freshman sideline cheer team in May. It is really time consuming but also fun. Over the summer I went to Mackinaw Island with my friends and family.
