1-13 week

Wow, what to say this week was full of good things and bad things. On Monday we kind of started off bad because our blogs weren't in an acceptable condition so we got lectured for that. Well, to me that was like the only bad thing. After that the week was pretty fun. The problem was that all of the conversations we had about like orientation and spring fling, but i'm not going to be here so I was just sitting there and listening to whats going to happen. Friday was fun in the morning because Errlyn, Shaela, Anne, Mr.Ing, and I got to school early and we were trying to fix the blonder tongue thing in the t.v room while everyone else that got there later than that were trying to find us. We actually told them we were in the t.v room, but we turned everything off to make it look like we weren't there. In the end we came out and still couldn't fix the stupid thing so we jus did our jobs and we were done. This week was jam-packed, but it was still really fun.

New Rules: Which Would I Take Out

I think if I had to take out a new rule i'd take out the rule that says you'll be on probation for getting a late notice from the library. I would take this out because recently i've been getting a lot even though I have the books in my bag. I just run them to the library and i'm done with it. Now if I get one late notice i'm done for because probation completely screws you over. This rule really isn't that fair to me either because even if your one day late you'll be on probation. Like maybe you just forgot to renew it. I really don't even think this rule is that important. It should be like if you get 4 or 5 late notices because then you know they must've lost it. That is why i would take out the rule that puts you on probation for library late notices.

New Rule #8: Late notices From The Library --> Probation

What this rule is, is that if we get a late notice from the library at anytime at all we are on probation. This rule scared me when I heard about it because I always get notices from books I forget about in my backpack. I just need to keep an eye out for any library books. This change definitely effects me because I get a lot of library notices. To keep away from this I just need to keep an eye out because next time I'll be right on probation. Jeez that still scares me to say that.

New Rule #7: Weekly Grade Checks

This rule is just giving us weekly grade progress reports. Honestly, I like this change because my mom and I sometimes can't check webgrader so we can know my grades every week too. This will help our class because some people can't check webgrader all the time so their parents don't know their grades. Having this progress report will effect me in a positive way because no matter what I can know my grades. The only hard thing is that when we get our progress reports, we have to get it signed by our parents by the next day or we're on probation. I can handle this, but its just going to be a little hard if I have bad grades showing my mom my grades, but i'll push through it and maintain my good grades.

New Rule #6: First 15 minutes Of Class Belongs To Planner

This rule states that in the first 15 minutes of your leadership period belongs to writing in the planner. I think this is a great rule because when we write in our planners we learn about new things. This rule effects me in a positive way because it gives me something to do in class because half of the tim I just sit there waiting for something to do. I think this will also help with rule #3 because when we write in our planners, we write coming up assignments and due dates, so all we need to do is check our planners. This should help some people with due dates even more and prevent even more people being on probation.

New Rule #5: Time Cards

This rule is to help getting to school on time. Some people are always late for their jobs. This will hopefully prevent that. So what you do is when you get to school you need to write the name of your job under todays date and have Mr.Ing sign it when you get to school to start working. If you get to school past 7:15 or get it signed after 7:15 you will be put on probation on the spot. I think this is a good rule because a lot of people get to school to late. This will prevent that from happening hopefully. This rule doesn't apply to me because i'm usually at school at 6:40 mostly before Mr.Ing. As long as I keep getting to school early I think I can survive this change.

New Rule #4: Weekly AR goal

This rule is saying that we will have to spit our full AR goal into 8, for 8 weeks, and we have to reach that amount each week. This rule doesn't effect me because i'm moving soon, so Mr.Ing didn't give me an AR goal. As long as I rack-up a few points every week, i'll be okay. This rule will help the people who wait until the last minute to reach their AR goal. The twist is that if you don't reach your weekly goal your on probation. I don't need to be intimidated from this goal because i'm moving. Although i'm not going to be here I still need to try to get some AR points.

New Rule #3: probation for any late work

This rule is saying that any late work or missed due dates will get you right on probation. This scares me a little because sometimes I miss due dates, the thing is I usually just get lectured which I can deal with, but automatic probation is a little harsh. I know we've had problems in leadership the past few days but thats still a little rough. I'm not the only person like this so I know we all have to keep up with our work. This effects me because I don't always keep up with my work, but now since I will be put on probation I need to keep up even more.

New Rule #2: Due Dates Through Webgrader

What this rule is saying is that all of the due dates for anything involving leadership will be posted on webgrader. I think this rule is really useful because I sometimes get a little confused with due dates when we talk about them in class so I can just check webgrader instead. I think this will help other people who get confused like me as well. I believe this rule effects me by allowing me to find due dates of anything maybe even before its assigned! I can see this rule relieving a lot of stress of of Mr.Ing and everyone else in leadership. It should help us be a little more understandable about all of our assignments as well as what we are trying to explain to each other about work.

New Rule #1: Lunch IN or OUT

The first new rule is involving lunch. We now have a choice to stay in or out at lunch. The thing is whatever we choose, we have to stick with for the whole year. I really don't care about this rule because it doesn't apply to me at all. I always stay out at lunch. The reason we have this rule is because Mr.Ing gets irritated with all the people coming in and out of the classroom at lunch. Also it causes less confusion on all of the people in the classroom. Even if this rule effected me I wouldn't care because i'm not going to be here the whole month because i'm moving so I don't even need to think about this rule the rest of the time i'm in this school.

1-6 blog

We started school on the fourth and we got lectured all day in leadership. It was an odd day so we were in A101 for only homeroom and advisory. Before school I was kind of confused with the new rules because I didn't check the leadership page. So I didn't know about any of the rules. After I asked some people what to do it was easy of the rest of the week. The fifth was a little harder because we actually had leadership. I thought it would be worse than what it really was. Period 4 was okay there wasn't much yelling or people in trouble so it was cool. It was only bad in homeroom when people were getting yelled at the whole time. The sixth was a good day in school because I could have just relaxed the whole day. After all of those days I had a pretty great weekend.

Hero presentation

Today I did my presentation on my hero, my grandad. I had to say why he was my hero which is because he served our country and although we never met face-to-face, I know he cares about me. I didnt have anything prepared so I just had to wing it. It turned out alright and I felt confident presenting it. I also had to give background information about him as well. I just said how he was the highest enlisted rank in the air force and how he was K.I.A ( killed in action ). After that I told what I learned from this experience, so I said I learned a lot more about my families past from looking at ancetry.com. All in all I think I learned that a hero doesn't have to with you, they just have to have something great for you. ^-^
