Another Introduction

My name is Shaleena Campbell I'm a 16 year old senior at Thurgood Marshall Academy. I've been going to Thurgood Marshall for seven years and I am happy that this is my last year having to enter a first day of school here. My Journey to 12th grade put a strain on my grades which has led to some of my stress in my senior year. Its weird for me to say stressed because I'm a really laid back, care-free person and this pass summer and few weeks of school have taken me out of my nonchalance. So far this school year has just been college talk, so much to the point where I feel drowned in college admissions and GPA's. I come to school, go to after school, and then go home and the word college is drilled into my brain. When I go home the last thing I want to think about is College, but having a mother who is really up on things makes it hard for me to forget. At times I feel overwhelmed because where going over all this college stuff and often my grades don't match the criteria. I get over this by trying to encourage myself to do better and try to get my grades up a little. Its only the first three weeks a school and I've already been bombarded with two essays, a presentation, and a test. Knowing that I want to bring my GPA up I wholeheartedly did all that work on time, and due to my hard work I got an 100 on the first statistics test this year which really brought my spirits up. It wasn't long before those spirits dropped and the next day I had a bad day at work. I'm not going to get into explaining it now because that will be another blog post. See you every other Wednesday.

So I'm in class and the teacher is not here. I am so bored usually I am bored in this class but at least I'm bored and learning but right now I'm just bored. Next period I have Ms.Hegeman and were watching breaking bad. Were watching breaking bad because were trying to see how a person changes when there in dire situations. The aim for that day was would you change your morals?. I answered yes under the certain circumstances i would change my morals to save my life.Breaking bad is about this chemistry teacher who finds out he has cancer. The main character Walter( I'm not sure of what his name is ) has a boring life and he is struggling to make ends so he wants to wants to sell drugs in order to make sure his family is stable after he dies. Before this class I did watch this show but i did not continue to watch it because it gave me anxiety, like I didn't now wither they were going to succeed or fail. A lot of people seem to really like this show and encourage me to watch it. The show comes on the same network that the walking dead comes on AMC. In class I hope we continue to watch breaking bad because I do not want to read  the book that were reading.

(Class post) Theater

Theater-

So in theater class we are doing performances. In my group there is Teanna, Nyla, and me. We are doing the movie mean girls and were taking sections from the movie and making it into a complication of random scenes. We have to wear costumes and bring props so that our skits looks really good.We have been practicing since winter break and I think were prepared for the performances. I have to bring a flannel shirt, some butt pads, and bars to help with the skit.we have to preform today and i'm not really nervous . Ms. Gilpin is teaching this class I made a blog about this class earlier and stated that I don't like the class. I think that she makes us do too much for an elective class when I have other classes to do work for. Every class gave us a project this week so I'm not really trying to do it but I have to to get a good grade. I wanted to do mean girls because I really love that movie . I wish school was like this movie because then school would be fun and and funny. We preform today and i think were going to do good.

Class Post (Anatomy)

In anatomy class we are doing a class project. This project calls for me having a partner and me an that partner have to make a 10 minute presentation and a 4 page essay. The partner I choose was Leslie Espinal, I choose her because I always work with her on things so I thought it would be effective for me to work with her. On Tuesday the first part of the outline is due which is the outline. The body system we got was the muscular system and to me that's relatively essay so I'm happy that we got assigned it. Leslie and I have been working everyday on getting our work done because I don't want to be unprepared for the project. In Ms Lall's class i have around an 80% something so if I don't do the project I will fail and that cant happen because I've been trying to keep my grades up so that I have a high average when I get my report card. So far the project has been going good and there has been no problems with understanding the work.While we were typing the outline Leslie deleted it and we were so scared that we had to rewrite what we typed but lucky we got it back so now were both happy. I am glad that I worked with Leslie because we work well with each other and I'm positive that we will have a great presentation and essay. So now I'm logging off because the bell has rung so bye.

Night School 

      So I've been taking a night school class. I am taking the class because I am missing half a credit and I want to graduate on time.The class is Spanish and we have a brand new teacher named Ms. Gonzalez, she is from bread and roses and she teaches Spanish U.S history and some other things. I enjoy having her even though she's going to be hard to past because I'm so used to Ms. Sawchuck. Having Ms. Sawchuck was easy because we had relatively the same lesson plans and the same HW every year. Ms. Gozalez is like a breath of fresh air compared to Ms.Sawchuck. We just recently got a project about mesoamerica and we had to identify the different parts of Maya life.We got to choose are partners I worked with Fatoumanta, Nyla ,Zina,and Aisha. we work well together i guess even though we just meet ayisha we all seem to be able to do our part. My part was to help make the power point and to look up the environment/geography of meso-america.I am glad that I don't have to go to summer school for Spanish. Its just the frist 2 weeks of having this class so i really dont know how it will turn out but hopefully i'll pass and get my needed credits.

Class Responce

In Ms.Gilpin class we study theater.I thought i would have liked theater but it turns out i don't. In that class we go over what people do in theater like the producer , stage manager, costume designers,and prop manager.Over this week we were assigned a project the project told us to recreate a play and act it out in front of the class.My job was the stage manager and i was in charge of making the scenery and deciding were everything would go on the stage.I don't like theater, because of the teacher that teaches it because i feel like she doesn't explain what she wants and when we do the projects for the teacher she gives us a bad grade because she didn't get what she want.I think that she should be more clear on her assignments.I do like watching the plays. we watched much ado about nothing and a movie about into the woods.I thought theater was going to be my favorite class but its not.

Bad Girls Club Free write

So there's this show called Bad Girls Club and the show has 8 girls who move to a location for I think 6 months and they are forced to live with each other. Along that journey of living with each other people get into conflict and altercations that make the show interesting. The season of bad girls club that playing now is season 11 and they are in Miami. This season is one of the wackiest seasons of bad girls club yet because none of the girls a interesting and there all just really boring. I watch a lot of reality TV some of the shows that i watch are The Real Housewives Of Atlanta , Shahs Of Sunset , Love In Hip Hop ,Chrissy & Mr.Jones, Black Ink and other show like that. I also watch like a lot of cartoons because there really funny and take my mind of things. I can watch TV for hours I'm sorta a couch potato. When I'm at  home i can preoccupy my self for hours and not be bored.Watching cartoons gives me a sense of humor.
