Most Interesting Part of This Class: It was really interesting trying to come up with stories and poems. Stories were a lot easier to think of, but the poems were difficult to start. They got a lot easier, and I was really surprised at how much easier it got just with practice.
Most Boring/Useless Part of This Class: Um...There isnt really much that i can say here. When i didn't know what to write about or was having an off day it was kinda boring but other than that the class was really intertaining and fast pace.
Hardest I Laughed in This Class: LOTS OF TIMES! probably when Sam was 'pregnant' and Chases stupid puns (sorry chase) and making fun of brigs and when Emily...yeah. i promised i wont telll :p
Thing That I Learned That Will Be Most Useful to Know in the Real World: You dont always get your way and you arent always gonna be the best. But a 'B' is just fine. You dont have to get straight 'A's cause after high school and college, those things dont matter. No one cares after that. So why stress about one 'B' when there are so many other things in life to worry about?
Best Thing About Brigs as a Teacher: Brigs was possibly my favorite teacher this year. Yeah, the class was really hard to keep up with sometimes, but when Brigs wont get off your back about assignments (and yearbook stories) you get things done. Brig's also believes that he's funny. But he doesnt know we laugh at his jokes to be nice. hahaha.
Thing Brigs Could do to Make This Class Better For Future Classes: More time for a few things, but then again, you wouldnt have enough time for the end of the semester stuff.

My parents were ... different. My mom was really pretty in high school and she had a lot of friends, but when she became pregnant her senior year, she kind of became an outcast of sorts. My dad was a huge jock; He wrestled and played football. He was the kind of guy who a lot of people liked, but he wasn't really part of the "popular people" because he wouldn’t drink. Neither would my mom.
I was at their wedding; It was December 18th. (5 days before my first birthday) It was a really pretty wedding, to say the least. My dad's a huge country-/cow-boy, so he and the groomsmen wore cowboy hats and cowboy boots. Mom got to pick the colors then.
Before I was born, they basically had to deal with high school stuff. My mom really had a lot to deal with, but dad didn't he just had to figure out how he was gonna take care of our family I guess?

Week 6A: Movie Adaptations
If I could choose a TV show that I'd love to have made into a movie, it would be Boy Meets World. No one would leave; it'd be the original cast. The movie would basically be about them after college. Who married who and what really happened to Cory and Topanga.
Maybe it could be Cory having a dream like Eric did in that one episode. Cory and Topanga could be fighting or something and Cory has this dream about them when they get a little older and then when he wakes up everything's all better and he realizes how much he loves her and how they arent meant to be together till the day they die. (: (also Shawn should become a teacher.)

Week 5A: Looking Forward
I really cant wait for this summer. This school year seems to be taking forever, but this summer's gonna fly by. I'm going to DC this summer for band. We're marching in the Independence Day Parade in July 4th at Capital Hill. It's gonna be AMAZING! But a lot of people are probably gonna pass out due to dehydration. We leave on the 1st at night and wont be back till the 6th. Other than that, I'm babysitting this summer and going on a trip with my youth to Shelbyville. We camp out in tents by the lake for the weekend and spend the entire day in the water. It's a lot of fun, but last year it rained the everyday we were there and we woke up soaked EVERYDAY and ended up having to leave early. But it was still a ton of fun.

Week 4A : Top Ten
Top Ten Things on my "Bucket List"
1- Go sky diving; For some reason free falling toward earth with the treat of dying sounds thrilling!
2- Own a mustang; Even it is the day I die I want to own my very own Shelby Cobra and have someone drive me around in it all day.
3- Own my own architectural firm; I'm planning on going to college and studying architectural design. I'm also a controlling person who has a lot of ideas and I'd really like to develop this design program that I've been figuring out for a while now...I'm a nerd. I know.
4- Live in Japan; Last year, Olivia and I decided that when our husbands die and we're old we're gonna take a ton of money and go live in Japan for a year or so.
5- See as many places in the world as possible and spend every dollar I make trying to make the world a better place. No one needs a ton of money to live, and why do we need the highest quality things too? There are kids in Africa and many other places that are dying. How hard would it be to help prevent a few deaths if everyone helped chip in to save them?
6- Be in more than two places at once; In A Walk to Remember Jamie tells Landon she wants to be in two places at once and she proves that you can be...But how hard would it be to be in more than two places at once? Is it possible?
7- Take a bus across the country; I've talked to a few people who've actually done this and they said it's something they'll never forget and they wouldn’t change anything if they could because they learned a lot from it. I want to meet a ton of weird random people with awesome stories, and from what I hear; a Greyhound bus is a great place to do so...
8- Travel through Europe living out of a back pack; I've always wanted to go to Europe and see all the sites possible, and after my uncle went, I wanted to go even more. Sometime, I'd like to just get a plane ticket to go over there and then just stay until I've seen everything on my list. Maybe I'll buy a ticket to fly back to the states, but who knows for sure.
9- Trace my family's roots; When I asked my grandma what I am, she said I was basically a mix of everything, which sounds about right. But I'd really like to find out exactly where my great great great grandparents grew up and go visit there. I feel like there's a lot that I can learn about myself from finding out where I came from.
10- To make a difference in someone’s life and see the impact i had on them ; Kinda self explanatory but it's definitely something I want to see. My friends are always saying that I'll never know what all I've done for them, but I'd really like to see. Not even like what I did for them, but what they learned from me and what they did with it, cause that's something that you never really know.

Week 3A : Casting Your Life...
If my life became a blockbuster, i think Bethany Joy Galeotti would play me. My best friend would be that girl who sits in the corner and sees so much more than what meets the eye, like Peyton. She's a very artsy kind of girl and enjoys being depressed. My other best friend is a lot more like Brooke. If you know my best friends, you would understand.
The guys in my life totally relate to the guys in one tree hill. Which is rediculous. But still. It's true. My best friend is just as confused and lost and scared as Lucas, but can still have a ton of fun and be cool to hang out with. Then there's Mouth. He's a nerd, and he's a lot like another one of my friends.
My parents though, are nothing like anyone in the show. They're more like...Sandy and Kristen Cohen from the O.C. Totally in love and still struggling with all of lifes troubles in a very down to earth kinda of way...

Week 2A - The Ideal Mate
In order for him to be my "ideal mate," he has to be tall. I'd say between 5'9" and 6'. I prefer darker hair; blondes really just aren’t my thing. I love blue or green eyes. He can’t be too skinny, but he can’t be fat. Muscular is good, but not too muscular. He'd be interested in a lot of the same things as me, and HAS to love music. That’s nonnegotiable. He has to be a polite eater and have good table manners; gross eaters are disgusting. He has to be willing to work and be athletic and into sports. If he’s not a Cardinals, Bears or Illini fan, it’s not exactly a deal breaker— but if there’s any combination of those, it will be. He has to be a Christian and be active in his church and faith. And if he’s a cowboy, that makes all this even better (:
