Things i have in my little pocket!

• I have my AMAZING cell phone!!! Why i have this is because my friends text me and i keep in touch even with my parents over texting! Even though its not allowed! :D
  
• My BEAUTIFUL Ipod! I have my Ipod because class can be boring and you can make it better when you listen to your favorite song! its not like i do ;).
  
• Chap stick... classic chap stick! My lips get chapped and they hurt to the chap stick soothes my lips leaving them with a coat of chap stick!
  
• Stride gum! (minty fresh!) :D My breath stinks sometimes so gum helps my breath be clean.. and the wrappers are better for throwing things at annoying people. The hard part is trying not to laugh! :D

Everyone is very racist against colored folks or just being different. Atticus and some people are sick of this rude treatment. Atticus says “But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of man.” People aren’t always willing to change. To some people, it’s hard. Some people try but everyone still kind of judges colored folks. Its just not right to judge people that are different.

Comment: Ashley said, some wording is confusing like “Atticus any some people” Huh? And you are right. People shouldn’t judge because of their color.

Kelsie said “Randi I have to agree with you, people still judge others and they shouldn’t just because they may look different or even act different.

Maddie said~ ”I also agree, I think it is wrong to judge people period, but to judge them because of their skin color, that is going to far. It is just like judging a book by its cover, and if you do that then you don’t know what is inside, there could be a really great story, r a really great person, and you wouldn’t even know it, J

Comment: Kelly- This was a pretty intense paragraph. I loved it. It’s so straight forward and really gets to the point. Maybe to make it a little better, you could change the wording a little bit. Like Atticus and some people….. you could tell who the some people are. But I love it Randi!!! <3

My 4 day week end!

On Friday I spent all day at the school for speech and debate. I was first a timer. The stop watch was evil! I was swinging it around and it flew off my finger and almost hit two people but didn't! There were more injuries as the day went on. I soon had to be a runner for the whole day because they needed a stop watch in the media center. I ran the judges notes to the tab room and ran errands and things like that.
On Saturday I did the same thing basically. My cousin from green river was there and we talked quiet a bit. On of the embarassing things was everyone was down stairs, I ran up the stairs but tripped and face planted it and fell down the stairs... it hurt so bad! I got a bloody nose! There was a lot of hot boys there but they weren't always nice. But i can understand from that!
Sunday i went riding with Jesse, Chance and Jesse's parents. It was a blast! I only crashed once! I rode a steep hill and hit a rock then popped a wheely and slid down the hill! Luckly I was the last one so it worked out! We rode from 1 o'clock till dark! Wow it was so fun! I went off of a jump too but didn't get as much air as the rest of everyone else but oh well! Jesse and Chance were showing off a lot and went off of jumps and pulled tricks. I am too new of a rider to be brave like that! When i got home i found two little kittens on our door step. They were both white with some orange! They had light blue eyes that seemed like they glowed. I grabbed them and showed them to my mom. She loved them but we knew they weren't ours. They had fleas and their fur was messy but I still had a heart for them. My dad made me put them outside again. I slowly shut the doors and sat at the window till they left. The whole time they stared at me and meowed at the door, it was so sad! When i left the window and came back they were gone.
Monday morning when I fed the horses and I saw the kittens again! Our neighbors had taken them as their own. A lot of kids were playing with them and having a fun time. They have a home now and are cleaned up and pampered. I went back inside and played playstaition for a few hours. I lost track of time. I cleaned the house and fed the rabbits and horses again then watched Transformers. Transformers is my favorite movie of all time! It is the best ever! After that my parents and sisters came home. My mom test drove the car we might get. It is nice and has a lot of room!
That was my four day weekend! It was fun and was never dull, i enjoyed it!
