thanksgiving "break" thoughts

Thanksgiving is partially over, and I hate it. Its Monday but I woke up thinking it was only Sunday. I have one less mental day. It is still the beginning of break but from now until next Sunday I have so much stuff to do. I know I must get my midterm stuff together and write my blogs and study for science but its break. I feel like breaks aren’t ever real breaks until Christmas, more like catch up time.

This stresses me out so much because I just want to lay in bed and listen to music, but I cannot. I think if I did that the stress would eat me alive. I say that, but here I lean on fluffy pillows, listening to music I’ve already heard, typing blogs and letting ideas out that have been sitting in the back of my mind. I type everything I think and edit so I feel like I'm occupied. I have about three thousand things going on up in my head, I think that’s why my words get jumbled up. I have so much going on I need to find out, do, and ask. What are we? What’s going to be on that test? How can I be better? How will I play with this? This is all just streaming through my head like a calm tsunami.

    I completely agree with you Zoe! I always have so much work to do on the break and very little time to do it! I always just want to do things wiith friends and catch up on sleep during the break, instead of doing work for school that is not even in session. It stresses me out too much.

    I can relate to this blog post a lot! With midterms around the corner, my stress level has been very high! Your blog is an example of how I have been feeling the past week.

political article - death penalty

In an article posted by Usnews written by Kimberlee Kruesi, the topic of capitol punishment came up in correlation with abortions. She writes and responds to a man running for governor's thoughts about giving the death penalty to women and doctors who acquire abortions. He uses the phrase " anyone who has an abortion should pay." He continues with his stance and agrees with another, that women should get the death penalty for . In another article posted by Refinery 29 , he noted that a women would not face the death penalty but just the threat alone would dramatically reduce the abortion rates. While he sounds pro-life, the figures who represent pro-life tried to distance themselves and explain that his view opposes everything the Pro-Life movement believes in. While this would make no change, the treat would be economically illogical. This would raise the taxes we pay because it would raise welfare rates. If women who needed an abortion could not get one, it would lea

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour is a great book so far. I haven't been reading it for very long but it immediately caught my eye with a baby pink, teal, and black cover. It has a drawing of a girl standing on a bed in the middle of the beach. When I saw the book in the library I remembered briefly reading a summary of the book and wanting to read it during the summer; so when I saw it I checked it out without rereading the summary and jumped right in. This book starts with what is happening in real time. The second chapter is a flash back, and it continues to jump back and forth. The book didn't mention the main character's name until around page twenty, but does mention the name of her roommate and the girl who will be visiting her. She mentions everything in her room and her feelings to where I feel like I'm in her mind sharing her thoughts. So far Marin, the main character, mentions something that has happened with her and a friend in the past. Mabel, who has come to v

yearbook

I tell myself that I do not like yearbook. Though when I find myself running around with a camera in my hand trying to capture people's smiles, I remember why I signed up for the class. Granted, I do not like missing practices or always being busy, but when i take a really good picture or see my picture in a yearbook spread I get the best feeling. This feeling of great reward is worth all of the looks I get and being the odd one out. Yearbook is also pretty hard. The class is really laid back all year but as the end comes we get more and more stressed out. The yearbook crew works over all breaks and the grind actually starts in the summer. That is when the editors, Ms. Madden, and all the people willing to, work their hardest to make the yearbook aesthetic and easy on the eyes. As we make things look okay and presentable, in reality everyone is all over the place. The editors, Ngan especially, are always stressed. The underclassmen are never doing their work. Merritt is never n
