Alexandria Kay Dowdy

Alexandria Kay Dowdy, otherwise known as Lexi, is one of the nicest mean girls I know. Her best friend is Chalee Panko and they always seem to be together. Lexi LOVES to annoy Ali Taylor. They seem to never like each other. Lexi is a redhead and she loves to show it. She likes to show that she is smart, though Ali claims that she is absolutely horrible at Spanish. Lexi is one of the craziest people I know, but not as crazy as her friend Chalee.

Ali Taylor

Ali Taylor is one of my best friends and, I guess, that's pretty sad. She is one crazy girl. Ali is also one of the most ghetto-est person I know. She always has food. Always. She never goes anywhere without having at least one bag of Takis and some vitamin water. Even though she has horrible habits of eating so much junk food, Ali is a great friend. She is always there. Ali has her stupid moments. She thinks out loud a lot and, most of the time, it's really funny. She gets "addicted" to almost any new game or app she sees. She posts the funniest things on her blog and they're sometimes really stupid.

Semester Exams

There's only one time in the year that I absolutely dislike. Semester Exam Week. Those three words are horrible. I'm pretty for sure that everyone doesn't like semester exams. Even the people that don't like doing school work. Either way, semester exam week is dreadful. When we're not taking a test, we're studying for another. It's just study, study, test, study, study, study, test, and study. We do nothing but study. I know that some teachers don't like it. The two days that we have half days are full days for the teachers. The look on my math teacher Ms. Kerby was so funny. Another reason why semester exams suck is that it's about everything that you learn in the whole first semester of school. Nobody remembers that stuff. It's so funny to see people go at the last minute to study for a test. The bad thing, for me, is that I have to actually study. Even I don't remember some of the things that I learned this year. Today, I had my third and seventh period exams. That's science and math for me. They kind of balance each other because I don't like science, but I love math. I was so prepared for the math test, until my Ms. Kerby said that it was extremely hard and the previous period didn't even finish the test. Otherwise, I went from being super prepared for a test that I now felt that I will fail. We started the test today and I can completely agree with Ms. Kerby. We had a little over two hours to do the test. Halfway through the two hours, I was only on question 12. I knew then that there was absolutely no way that I would finish this test today. Tomorrow, I have Texas History and my Newspaper exam. I, specifically, am worried about my Texas History. Even though I practically grew up here, I'm still trying to get the history part down. The test is about the 5 regions of Texas, Native American cultures, Texas Exploration, Spanish Colonization, Mission System, Texas Revolution, and the Civil War. Basically, Texas before 1870. My only hope is that I get a some-what good grade on all exams.

My Fantastic/Horrible Week (So Far)

These past two days have been fantastic for me. Yesterday in first period, we did absolutely nothing. We only had to review someone's Native American PowerPoint and then submit it to our teacher. In my career portals class, we only had to work on our "resume" and cover letter. Science was as boring as always. In journalism, we got to spend the whole entire period taking pictures of people dressed in red, white, and blue to honor 9/11. In language arts, all we had to do was peer edit our personal narratives and do our vocabulary words. Math is a wasted period. I mean, we never do anything in that class. Athletics was awesome. All we did was laps in the gym. Overall, that day was awesome. Today was just as good. It was picture day and we had to take our pictures during our social studies period. Thankfully, mine is my first period. By the time we got back to class, there was only like twenty minutes left. So, we got to watch a video honoring those who died twelve years ago on September 11th. Career portals, science, math, and language arts were pretty much the same. In journalism, a couple of my friends and I got to start our first story. It's about the honoring those who died on September 11 twelve years ago. After school, I was completely wore out. I got home, at my usual time, to only find that we were going to have this electrician come and install our new kitchen lights. That was bad for me because I had to work on four assignments. My day only got better and better when the electrician left my house. At nine-freaking-o'clock. That means he was here for about three hours. I never thought that was possible, but him and my dad were buddies making them talk and joke around. I am so tired. that I could literally pass out and not finish this post. Luckily, I'm not that wore out. I probably won't post till like Friday at the most. Hope my week will finish off just like it started. Peace!

Journalism Class

Today in journalism class, we got assigned projects that we had to report on. I have to go to either the 7th grade football game or the 8th grade football game. I have to write about their scores and all that type of stuff. Since I don't know anything about football, I'm going to try to get my dad to help my with the statistics and all, but the rest of the work is going to be all mine. My school blog hasn't even been updated since May. I can't wait to actually start writing stories. I hope this is going to be as easy as this blog. The school blog is called Chisholm Trail Tribune and is on my blog list. I hope you all like my school blog. Peace!
