Oct 25-29
My first term at Provo High has been amazing! I never expected high school to be like this! At first I was kind of in shock that I was going to High School... But now that I'm 1/4 of that way done... and I love it! The things that made it so great were my friends and teachers. Turns out the teachers here aren't so bad! (haha jk they're great =D) There are a lot of other activities to do after school too. (I like going to open gym for softball =P) Many of the classes are easy to pass, (you show up) But there are some (English, Physics, Geometry ect...) You have to study for. But if you do, Your rewarded with all A's!!! I hope that I'll get into better study habits next term though haha.... -___-" sigh. It's really different from Dixon. (in a good way) I'm being told all the time that High School is the time to get good habits that you will do the rest of your life. So I guess its now or never. It's kind of scary though... in computer tech., we're already talking about College and what job we want. I"M JUST A FRESHMAN! Haha, not saying that I shouldn't be thinking about those things. Its just came at me a little fast. Well... I'm hoping for the best for next term!

Turns out I don't really listen to that much music. Yes I buy a few songs off iTunes once in a while, but don't really use my iPod to much. I mostly just listen to the music while i'm working on my computer or something. I pretty much only use my iPod for the apps haha =P. Concerning the sound... I guess I do like to turn it up a tad to high. I don't think so, but when I let my younger sister listen to music with me, she's always telling me to turn it down. I guess I do have some hearing issues...
I do care about my hearing though. A few months ago I watched a program about hearing on some random T.V. channel. That's when I realized that there was a problem with hearing for kids and teens these days. I always try to keep my music down to right above 50%, but sometimes after listening for a while, I seem to slowly ease up the volume just a tad.
After watching that program, I've been more aware of the sounds around me. When I'm walking around the halls at PHS, some of the kids that pass by seem like there listening to there iPods on full blast. You can distinctly hear whatever song they are listening to. I've always wondered how they could even stand listening to something so loud! But now I know its because they cant hear it.
Some of the ways I prevent myself from bad are:
• Like I mentioned before, I always keep my iPod's volume below 60%
• I keep the T.V. soft enough so the people in the next room can barley hear it
• Instead of listening to hard rock, I try to listen to more soft melodious music
• I try to help family and friends when I hear them listening to any thing to loudly
These are all ways we can help each other to not get bad hearing!

My typical Saturday begins whenever I wake up... which is somewhere from 8am - 12pm. The only reason I would stay asleep tell 12 would be that I stayed up tell 1am the previous night watching a movie or something... After waking up I usually go see what I can eat for breakfast, It always feels good to wake up on Saturdays because I know my family will be awake. On normal week days, I'm the first one awake. I usually eat by myself too until I have to catch the bus. Waking up to a breakfast is always the best. After breakfast, I'm usually resting for a bit (watching TV or something...) until I go help out around the house. If I ever miss a day of Piano or homework during the week, Saturday is the time to make that up. After all of the above is accomplished, I get the rest of the day to myself. I usually go to my friend Hanna's house or go do something with my family. Typically, I feel that Saturday is a day to relax from school and get things together for the coming week. I still get excited about Saturdays like when I was little. Not that school is boring or anything...*cough cough* ehem....hm..
The best Saturdays are those with perfect weather. No one wants a Saturday to be rainy and boring. Storms are even worse. >You cant go outside and do something because of the rain, and due to the storm, you sometimes get a power outage. Then your stuck inside with nothing to do. That is unless you like to use your... IMAGINE NATION!!!

Sept 28
The "ideal" teacher for me would be some one like my 8th grade English teacher Ms. Glines. What made me like her so much is that she was one of those people who you just want to be around. She was funny, related things to her every day life which made class fun, and had an awesome personality. All in all she was just a really great person. But in a learning environment, her teaching was my favorite because she was really organized, stayed on topic, and had just the right amount of discipline. I really hate those kinds of teachers who are so uptight that they might just kill the student who made a comment. But there are those teachers that don't seem to now what discipline is... They kind of just say "ok, everyone please sit down or I'll have to stop teaching until your all quiet." he/she said with a smiling face....... uhhh what kind of a punishment is that? Ms. Glines was right in the middle. She loved talking with the kids but new how to shut us up when needed. She was so cool ^__^! She is actually the teacher who made me like English. I used to hate it because of all the boring books and having to learn to spell words I would never use again in my life! That all changed after 8th grade. Over the summer I started getting into some really cool books, such as the Hunger Games series, and realized English class wasn't so bad. Might even be one of my favorite classes! I guess this is to show how much a teacher has on a students time at school. If I have someone like Ms. Glines I know I'll have a good "ideal" year! =D
