I had a very relaxed Mardi Grass.  The first two days of the break it rained all day which was very boring.  I went fishing for most of the break which was fun.  I also got the chance to go goose hunting.  I have never been goose hunting outside of duck season and this trip was really fun.

I did not got to the basketball game but we won on Wednesday but no Friday we lost to Winfield which really sucks because they beat us in football in the playoffs.  They also beat us by a bad call in football and if it wasn't for the bad call we could have went to the playoffs.  But it is ok because both basketball and football had a good team this year.

Nervous Conditions

For the week for mardi grass I read chapters six and seven for Nervous Conditions.  These chapter told a lot about the story and took awhile to read but was very informational.  I spent all 150 minutes this week reading Nervous Conditions.  


I also answer the guided reading for both chapter and when I did that, it helped me understand the chapter better.  In my blog I wanted to talk about how I would rather read and answer the guided reading question than reas the chapters and post about what I read.  This is just my opinion and what helps me.

This week was very uneventful for me.  We are having to lift weights after school for football and that is starting to get seres.  This is making me more and more excited for football.  Football starts at the end of April and the first week of May.  It is about eight practices after school for two weeks.  Then we have off until we get out for school.  As soon as school end we have to start weight lifting.

We have to lift Tuesday thru Thursday during the summer.  It is normally form 7:30 to about 10:30.  We lift weights and do agility and run.  There is a lot of running.  At the start of August we can start putting on a helment for about two weeks.  Then after that we can where full pad and then school starts and we go to practicing for a regular game week.  I cannot wait until football starts.

Nervous Conditions

This week I spent all of my 150 minutes of reading on our class reading book Nervous Conditions.  It started out very blut by her saying "I was not sorry when my brother died."  She states this all threw chapters one all the way to three.  But she says that she is a little sorry for talking about this so much, but will not apologis for saying this.

She moves around in these first chapters.  I think it is going to be like this for the whole book.  She goes threw the book and grows up and tells us about it.  She also wants to go to school and she sells corn to be able to go to school.

Most of this week for English homework I have been working on my paper.  Thursday I read chapter one in Nervous Conditions.  I do not know what I am doing this week.  I will probably work on my paper and read some more of Nervous conditions.  


I think it will not take long to finish my draft.  I have to wright one more page and do the works cited and I will be finished with my first draft.  I also have to do my Wordly Wise cars.  Then that will be all the homework for english this weekend.  

Nervous Conditions

Last night I read the first chapter of Nervous Conditions.  I thought I would be about something totally different but when we went over the book in class thursday I got a lot better view of the book.  The books starts of with her brother dying and she says she was not sorry.  She says she can remember and feel more that she could when she was younger.  

I have no idea what is going to happen next.  If I had to guess I would say that it is going to be about the wars and fighting that goes on in africa.  I say this because that is what we talked about in class.  I have read 40 mins in nervous conditions this week and 110 mins on the ruff draft this week.
