Monday's Journal

Today's journal requires us to reflect upon the quote " I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something." To me this quote is saying different things. One thing it could be saying is that a little bit of money can last you your entire lifetime, since it does not get more or less, but if you buy something, you loose that money. It could also be saying that money might seem like something you should rely upon, and will support you your entire life, but you buy things with money, it has no other purpose, so getting money would mean you would lose it, otherwise there's no point in having any money at all if your not willing to spend it on something. It could also be saying that a little money might seem like a lot if you save it for a long time, you could say," I have enough money to last me the rest of my life!" without mentioning the fact that you only have a certain amount that you can buy one item, which is called making something seem like more than it actually is.

Groundhog day

Today's blog topic is about how Monday was groundhog day, and what does this mean, and if I believe in it. Well personally I don't believe that if a groundhog comes out of his house, and is scared of his shadow, it means anything at all, he might juts be scared of something else. I heard that it has to do with the weather conditions as the groundhog comes out. Like if it's sunny, then the shadow is seen, and the groundhog "foretells" six more weeks of bad weather. If it's a spring day, and there are clouds blocking the suns rays, then there is no visible shadow. The groundhog acts accordingly, and goes back inside if the weather is bad, and stays up if it is spring time. This annual tradition of the United States and Canada, came into being during the late 1800's. To answer the final question of the blog, no I don't believe in groundhog day, because there might just be a random sunny day, but I don't think it foretells another 6 weeks of weather.

Journal Wednesday

I have to redo yesterday's blog topic which asked me what I would do if two of my friends had birthday parties at the same time, and I could only choose one to go to. Well I would go to whichever party I felt like going to, if one of them was going to the movies or something fun like that, and one of them was doing something pretty boring, I would obviously go to the movies, because it seems more fun, and it would be a waste of time to go to a boring party, and I would be throwing my day away. I normally would think about what friend it was, and what they meant to me, but I don't really think like all the time, I really would just choose the party I feel would be better to go to, it seems selfish, and it is, but that's just what I would do. I would mabye think about going to half of one party, and going to the other half of the other party, but not if the other party was really boring, then I would juts stay for the whole "funner" party, and it also depends to which party my other friends were going to, I wouldn't want to go to either of them, by myself.

Making decisions

Today's blog topic is about, if two of your friends were having birthday parties on the same day at the same time, and they both invited me to go. We'll first off if two of my friends we're both having birthdays, they would not make them on the first day for sure, because all my friends know each other, and wouldn't any of their birthday parties. So I would inform them that another one of our friends was having a birthday party, and i'm sure they would talk it out and one of them would eventually decide to move there birthday party to another day. If they didn't wanna move there birthday party to another day, they would probably combine there birthday parties, since that's what a lot of people do anyway, when two people have a birthday on the same day. So yeah, my answer to today's blog topic is what would I do if they both were having birthday parties on the same time, would be talk to them about it, and if they still wouldn't change there birthday party times, then I would probably flip a coin, or go to whatever party would seem like one I would rather go to. THEN I would make my decision.

How I feel about parent teacher meetings

Today's blog topic is about how I feel about parent teacher meetings. I'm not so worried about parent teacher meetings, because my parents already know that i'm doing badly in school, not that I'm not trying to do better in school, hopefully this quarter i'll be able to start working more, and catch up in the work I have to do. Most people are probably afraid of their parents going to parent teacher meetings, because there parents don't know how badly or how good there doing in school, but I don't think someone would be worried if they were doing good in school. Though most people don't like there parents going to parent teacher meetings, it's good that they go so they can be informed, and help there kids to do there homework and such.

Devotions

I don't really have much to say about the devotions this morning,except that I think we all take God for granted, and don't think about what we're doing, and just end up regretting it later, but I don't think we can ever fix this, until the day we're with Jesus in heaven, because right now we're only human, and don't think about future consequences as much as we should, but God forgives us and offers us forgiveness, which is why we're able to enter Heaven, even as we are.
