Defending Nervous Conditions

So the question is if this should be in our 9th grade syllabus. I'm not entirely sure what that is so I'm just gonna wing it like Will Smith. Gonna guess it's something you cover in school like how you need to do addition problems in 1st grade. So I think that any book is necessary. You have to read books in English class because it's part of it even though most kids don't like it it's just there.

Because I should be writing about what IS good about that let's get to it. There's a lot to it that makes it such a big thing to teacher. First off books obviously have examples of what grammar should look like and because many people don't read so much it's a good thing to get them to. It's just a way of teaching that is much less stressful for the teacher, like instead of having to go over the difference between of "your" and "you're" for 12 years it is just right in your face and you don't got to teach it cause it's already there.

Adding to this there is more to do than just look at grammar. Usually you're tested on the book which is a good practice for future jobs because you start to pay more attention to what you are reading because you know it'll affect it you later and it can help with planning ahead skills. Most the time you won't pick up a book 20 minutes before the class and finish the chapters you were supposed to 5 days ago. It's also overall just a long term thing that has to do with english because like I said before, without reading a book you are just teaching prepositions year after year and everyone already knows these things by then. If you also write papers on what you are reading it helps with your writing. As far as the book itself I sort of think it's fine to read. A book about a girls life in Africa isn't anything better than a book about a man who goes fishing for squirrels. It as has the same academic advantages.

Although I think reading can help an English class I really think some things are not that were involved in the project. Such as annotating. I really don't think help anything, they just make me a more blunt person. Because you can't make comments on everything in a book like that, it's just difficult. It's also kind of pointless to me how you have to relate outside sources to what you are reading. I honestly don't think watching Kony 2012 is going to help with anything. I honestly couldn't care less about Kony. It might just be me and I might be considered evil for thinking or something but it pulls no interest out of me on what goes on in Africa. I'm just saying. I think reading on Tambu's part of the story and not Kony's is a more respectable thing to do as well. Not all of Africa is starving children. Not even 5% of it is. I just don't see the point. That is all.

Okay so uh.. How bout that chapter 7?

Alright alright, so get right if you can't relate. Let's relate to chapter 7th setting and stuff. Alright so it's no secret that Tambu's circle of social is sort of dysfunctional. Unlike her, my circle of friends usually don't full out fight each other like the ones in this book. Usually we just hang out and be cool but you know. Many of my friends usually talk outside school considering now that I'm in highschool I practically never see them, whether we meet at concerts or a house or wherever. Tambu unlike me doesn't have those luxuries but I'm gonna move on. Her school seems to be sucky. And by sucky I mean it is really sucky. She has to chillax in a room with only other Africans, but although that sounds somewhat reasonable due to the foreign thing, they are a little too old/young for each other. I guess a lot of people know what that's like having brothers and sisters but these were just random people they didn't even know. Like, when one was doing there mature stuff the others where doing their naive not mature stuff. It really grinds my gears when I was younger and people older than me were bossy and thought they were more mature but now it grinds my gears when younger people won't shut up and go get trampled my a stampede of people in a mall new opening. So I get why that would be horrible.

FA FA FA FA FA FAREE POST #SWAG

Alright, so this is a freepost right? So I can talk about whatever? Ok, I'm down with it. Let's talk about "swag". So to my understanding when a person has swagger he or she must wear snapbacks and use all their parents money. I personally think that telling someone they have swag is not a compliment. I especially hate it when someone hashtags it somewhere, like they take a picture of their breakfast and say #waffleswag or #scrambledeggswag #twerkteam. That really rustles my jimmies.

 

Although many of the swaggiest individuals are obnoxious and annoying and really jack my swag I actually kind of like Based God. Not because he has good music but because of how funny he is, like how his lyrics go "swag to the maximum, swag a hundred trillion". I just... I think that's funny.. That is all.

Nyasha

WHAT I THINK I KNOW ABOUT NYASHA is that she wants to be like Michael Jackson. She wants to be bad, is basically what I'm saying. She smokes just for the purpose of it looking cool and I BELIEVE she is the one reading the book their father is completely against her reading. But that may be Tahmo. I'm not really sure. All the names are so similar and it's confusing. But back on Nyasha, I believe she loves to dance, unlike Tahmo who for some reason just wont dance with her. So, Nyasha is a cigarette smoking, dancing, wanna be bad girl who is the cousin of Tahmo. Is she the cousin of Tahmo? Can someone tell me please, I'm lost.

The layered project

Ok, so basically I spent practically my entire lifetime on this first layer. I was just totally out of it the first few days and I was just like "You know what, I'm gonna do this later" but then, later comes and you're like "You know what, why did I just do that?" You know what I'm saying? So as I move forward I need to improve on basically everything, especially timing. The more I work the faster it gets done. Basically I can get just a little confused with the wording of something and I completely avoid diving into beginning a task. LIKE YOU KNOW, you start off not wanting to do something but then when you DO do it you can't stop and it's not as bad as you were thinking. That's me almost entirely. Like this blog itself I was just thinking "I don't know what to write" or "I don't feel like logging in" but when you do it all comes to you kind of. SO LONG STORY SHORT I just need to get what I need to do, and do it. The End.

What's up

Basically what has been up to the Indian project is that I've been learning more about them as the day goes on. SURPRISINGLY to me you learn a whole lot more about it when you have a project on it. I'm not sure if it's pure coincidence or I've been missing something. But anyway, I've got a bit of a larger idea of what I'm gonna be doing from the annotated bibliography. I'm going to start soon like maybe tomorrow but when I say that I am not lying I am committed. It's like people diet and they say "tomorrow I will begin my diet" and they don't do it. So I'm not going to be that.
