Money Management - Free Choice

Last week in Mr. Rich's class I learned how to write checks and balances. I also learned how to keep track of my transactions. This is a great way to keep track of my spendings. This can help prevent me getting into debt because it can help me stay on top of all my money. I am not so good with spending money, unless I have cash on me. When I have a debit card on me I don't usually think about the price and I just swipe to buy something. When I pay with cash, I realize how much I am spending and when I realize I am giving more than I should I look for something thats more reasonable. But sometimes I get lazy and I don't want to go to the bank to go take out money. I guess i spend more on a card because I don't really physically see the money I'm giving away. I need to learn how to manage my money more. Especially since I'm going away to college and i's going to be limited on money. I'm going to have to spend my money wisely, and think about what I need and not what I want. Also money management will help me in the future when I have to pay bills and do taxes.

Bad Week - Free Choice

Everybody has a bad day, or two... But have you ever had a bad week where everything seems like its going wrong? I had one of those weeks where everything goes wrong, then right when you think your at the end of the tunnel and its all over, it just gets worst. Monday was the only day of the week that was not bad. Tuesday everything took a turn for the worst. On Tuesday I got into some bullshit at school with the dean. I also got detention and worked labor. Wednesday was the first Tma Panthers baseball playoff game this year. This was just one step closer for our chance of going to the championship game. Because of the commissioner of the league, our game was cancelled and we had to forfeit due to our official coach not being there. Then the cops want to get involve and want to harass us. Luckily i know my rights. the whole team was very upset and sad because we worked so hard to get to where we were and everything was gone just like that. Thursday I ran into the commissioner again at my school. Few words were exchanged. I did not want to get in trouble for the things I would have said to him. On Friday I find out that I can no longer attend the trip to go to Ghana. A trip that I have been so eager and so excited about going on since the beginning of the year. Thus shifting my whole demeanor, as i say to myself what can be worst. Then Saturday I went to go play basketball at riverbank. But i didn't know it was going to rain. So i got caught in the rain. I then went to mcdonalds with my buddy. After going to Mcdonalds, I met up with some more friends. After meeting up with my friends, they are now hungry. We then go back to Mcdonalds. On my way back to Mcdonalds I text my mom telling her that my phone is dying and that i will charge it when i have the chance. After finally leaving mcdonalds, we walk around, hang out, and chill. Over this period of time it has been 5 hours since my phone has died. I did not know that my mother was having a panic attack. She called many of my friends, to try to find me. Nobody really knew where I was or what i was doing. So she started even getting more worried. I asked my friend "what time is it"? she said, 11:30. I lost track of time, and i thought my mom is probably freaking out and I have to be home by 12 tonight. So I then text my mom and tell her i'm on my way home from my friends phone. I did not want to call her because I was afraid that she was going to black on me in front of my friends. So i rushed into a cab. She calls my friend back in two minutes. By this time, I was already on my way home and gone. So she thought I was doing something that i was not supposed to be doing. She said i could have been in her house doing things I was not suppose to be doing. All this could have been avoided if I would have just called her earlier to let her know that I was fine and OK. I did not think too much of the situation because she was not home, she went down south to visit family and to celebrate her and my dad's anniversary. I called her when I got home and she told me that she was annoyed and disappointing in me, and now I feel like I have ruined her anniversary. She still doesn't believe me and once she gets home I know that I am going to get blacked on. By the way My neighbor which is close family, took my keys, my wallet, and my Xbox one because my mom told him too. For some weird reason I knew that something bad was going to go wrong. But I chose to avoid it. I should have stayed home. Im praying that my luck turns around and that hopefully something can go right. Please!

CRR - Taming of The Shrew Skit

These past weeks. My eighth period class has been working on creating a skit. Groups had to reiterate a scene of Taming of The Shrew. This was a cool and fun idea. It gave the students the opportunity to show their creativity and thought. This also shows how the students can work with others. I had fun with this activity. I don't feel like we had enough time to create a good enough skit. But with the time being it was good enough. I sorta like acting. It takes skill to be good at it though. Sometimes I cant take myself serious and I start laughing midway through. Overall this was a great idea and a great activity that Ms. Hegeman assigned. Its better than doing a whole bunch of worksheets that in a few weeks I will forget about. Hopefully we can have more hands on activities like this.

Free Choice - Gaming

I really love playing video games. I have been playing video games since I was five years old. When I was younger I had a Nintendo Super Famicon. I had a NES. I then owned a PlayStation (first generation). I loved my PlayStation, My first game I ever played on my PlayStation was Metal Gear. To this day this is still my favorite game and series of games. I then had a PlayStation 2. I used to play a lot of games like Jak and Daxtar, Grand Theft Auto, and plenty more. I then owned a PlayStation 3. I had the PlayStation 3 on release date and I loved this system so much. This was my favorite system until I owned an Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 was an amazing console. It had great graphics and it had a lot of awesome games. So many awesome games that I do not know where to start. But November of 2013 I bought the Xbox One. I went to the midnight release and ever since I bought this system I can not put the controller down. Gaming is one of many of my hobbies. It entertains me and i have fun when i'm using my Xbox. My Xbox One is not only for games but it is an entertainment system. I can watch movies, I can listen to music. I can have so many Apps like Netflix, Pandora, etc.. I can also have a great time with friends. Whether that is playing video games with them, or skyping them, or just even talking to them. Gaming is awesome and I love gaming.

Passionate Blog - Music

One thing that i am very passionate about is music. I love listening to music, as well as making music. I love producing beats. Every time i make a beat, I am telling a story through my music. Its as if I am painting the picture I see in my head through sound. I love the feelings I get while I am listening to music. I cannot imagine a world without music. Im pretty sure people will lose their sanity and this world will be chaotic if there was not any music. Music keeps people calm, gets people happy, gets people hype. I love how in some songs you can relate to music and it connects to you. While I am in college, I will try to focus more on my music and really take it seriously. I will be taking classes to learn more about the music industry. I am going to build a studio along with one of my roommates in college.
