Scholar Start: Free Write Friday!
Can't think of a prompt?
Take one item that you are wearing, and give it magical properties. What can it do? Does it give the wearer special abilities? How would you use it?
Today we are going to finish reading "Beware of the Dog"
The one item I would choose on my body that would give me special abilities and be magical would be LeBron 11 Graffitis. These shoes would give me the basketball skills of LeBron James. His vertical, speed and strength. I would also obtain his court vision, passing ability, finishing ability, coast-to-coast, and a little bit of his shooting touch. I would be just like a 5'10 LeBron James. Today in P.E I would be balling on everybody but Tyler already knows that's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteShutup shawn you ain't doing anything
DeleteBring it Tyler. I'm gonna ball till the day I fall.
Deletenot really appropriate for a scholar start, tyler
DeleteI would give my shoes magical powers. It would make me jump really high and I could possibly even fly. I would use it for basketball or reaching things that I can't. It would be really cool nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteone item of clothing that i would give magical powers would be my pullover and the power i would give it is to massage my back because it always hurts.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the best thing ever
Deletewe have a game today, and i really hope we win! we play a team that we beat last year, but who knows they could've gotten a lot better this year...unlike us... but lets hope we play good!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is Thunder Over Louisville, and I might finally go for the first time. I'm super excited because I heard on the news that it's supposed to be even better this year and I've never been. Hopefully it doesn't get too crazy with all the threats going around.
ReplyDeleteI am getting really excited, a lot of big events are coming up for me. Next weekend is the Miley Cyrus concert which I have been waiting forever for, but more importantly because in 53 days my brother gets home from basic training in Missouri. He has been gone for almost 6 months and it finally being time for him to graduate makes me so happy because I miss him a lot!
ReplyDeleteI would give my shoes the power of going super fast because if i ever get in trouble i can just run away very fast and it would be awesome.
ReplyDeletei went to my friends house yesterday to get my dirtbike and i drove it around for a little bit. then i went home ate dinner and drove my 400 around until it got dark.
ReplyDeleteIf I could give a magical power to something I'm wearing, I would give my necklace shape shifting powers. With this, I could basically do anything. I could fly, I could move extremely fast, hide easily, or step it up a notch and become batman. But, the main reason I would want to shape shift is so I could I could become one with the Irrawaddies as I would look like them and they wouldn't know that I am, in fact, a human.
ReplyDeleteWe play PRP tonight and I am scared for my teams life. We could possibly give them a good game and we are going to try and win but thats going to be an act of God. PRP is the defending state champions and they are the best team in the state right now. I am not really worried about the game though because we aren't expected to win or do really anything against them for that matter. So I just hope they dont smack us repeatedly in the face the whole game
ReplyDeleteThe last man on earth sat alone in a room, there was a knock at the door...
ReplyDeleteAn item that I'm wearing that has magical properties would be my sparkly shoes. They would allow me to fly so I won't have to walk everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday adn it couldn't come sooner, with this week being the first back from break it feels like the longest time. The school year is wrapping up to an end and everyone is starting to prepare for their finals. With sping just coming to a start this will most likey be the slowest last weeks of school ever. With snow make up day and no 3-day weekend to look forward to everything is just straight through.
ReplyDeleteA good coat provides security in every way possible keeping you warm in the winter, dry in the rain, protected at night, and hides your shame.
ReplyDeleteToday I am wearing my State archery shirt from this year. The shirt is gray with the colors red, white and blue. It has an eagle on the front of it and behind the bird is the American flag. This shirt has magical properties when I'm shooting archery and wearing it. Eagles are fast flyers and always find their targets. When wearing this shirt my arrows always find their target and do so quickly. Considering that I'm always aiming for 10s, the arrows always land in the 10 range because of my shirt and I score a perfect 300 when at tournaments.
ReplyDeleteAnd because I still have time I'll tell you about my upcoming weekend. This weekend I get an early Easter but I don't get chocolate because of my diet. I get fruit baskets!!!!!
DeleteIf I had to give any item I'm wearing magical properties, I would give my contacts the ability to be worn forever. This way my contacts would never be dry and I would be able to use and sleep in them as long as I want. I wouldn't have to worry about my horrible vision because it would seem like I have regular, healthy eyes. I finally wouldn't be held back by blurry vision. I could see in the back of the class without having to squint. I would be able to swim in the ocean and actually be able see it clearly. I see no downside to the idea of my contacts being able to be worn forever without drying out.
ReplyDeleteNervous for this track meet tonight. Hurdles are going to be pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteGSA letters are getting mailed today and i want to get in so bad. I hope we get them today and not tomorrow because I want to know now. I hope I get in but i'm fine if I don't get in. Also show club is singing at the deans list so that's cool. One thing I have to work on is not laughing because I'm fine with singing in front of people but I also get to beat box and I might start laughing.
ReplyDeleteOk to be honest I've forgotten where I left off on the Jeoffery ending. So I'll just finish it with he gave up his immortality to bring back his family, his mother, father, and cousin Heoffery. After he gave up his immortality he went to his cave where he sat upon his throne for the last time, and slowly his years caught up to him within a few hours of being seated. There he withered away to dust that blew away into eternity like the sands of a desert.
ReplyDeleteToday is Friday and I am not happy because 1. I have a horrible friend that rides my bus that is making of fun of me 2. I am tried and ready to go home 3. I dislike leader prep. 4. This week has been horrible for me 5. I have a piano recital coming up and I am scared out of my mind 6. I want it to be my Birthday but there are TOO many days to (28) and last but not least I don't want to take the tests I have to take today. This has been my Friday rant Thank You for reading.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a item that had magical properties it would be my jacket. I would make it be like the invisibility cloak like in Harry Potter except for your whole body doesn't have to be covered for you to be wholly invisible. I don't really know what purpose it would serve me but really I think it would be amazingly awesome to be invisible. For example, on Halloween you act like a ghost and scare a whole lot of people by slamming doors, stomping your feet on the stairs, or just bumping into them. Granted I wouldn't want the tables turned on me in that situation but it would be funny to see people's frightened expression.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose any item of clothing I have on and gave it magical powers, I would choose my jacket. Whenever I wear it, I can disappear if I so wish to do so. I wear it everyday because if I see somebody I don't like, then I can just disappear and wait until they're gone. This would be quite useful to me.
ReplyDeleteI can already feel that today is the start of a good weekend. GSA is mailing out the confirmation letters today, so that means I should know my status by Monday. I am also excited that show club has been asked to perform at the Dean's List Breakfast occurring in this upcoming week. We have been rehearsing many songs for quite some time now and I am ready to make a good debut to the school population. On another note, a few of the performing arts students, myself included, wrote the lyrics to the school's Alma mater which will be performed during the first ever Thomas Nelson commencement.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we had an away tennis match and in my opinion it was the best one yet! Even Though almost everyone won their games, the bus ride home was the most fun out of everything that happened. We started off singing songs at the top of our lungs, playing never have I ever and then would you rather. Things got pretty interesting, but everyone had a blast! I can't wait for tonight's away game!
ReplyDeleteMy house has been so peaceful in quiet without my sister yelling and staying on the computer for hours. She's on spring break this week, so her and my dad went to the beach to see his parents. It has just been me and my mom all week and its been nice getting to spend time with her, but they will be back on saturday..
ReplyDeleteHe comforts me and I'm wrapped in serenity, everlasting bliss. Tears are streaming down my face.. For I realize I'm no longer longing, for i have everything I've ever needed. And in that moment our heartbeats sync.. Then I come to the painful realization that I have fallen in love with something that's not even mine.
ReplyDeleteTGIF!!!!!!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad it's Friday. I can't wait to catch up on my sleep this weekend, and homework, and and and whatnot. I hope today goes by fast because I can't wait to get home. Oh, on the other hand, people who auditioned for GSA will start getting their letters today. I'm so nervous!!! S/O to the lovely singin' Wathen twins, C-rex, beatboxin' Nicole, and the amazing awesome Shyla for conditioning. When I get my letter, I probably won't open it for a few days. I'm completely prepared if I didn't get in because 1,769 people auditioned and only 200 to 300 get in. I wish the best of luck to every TNHS GSA auditioner, even though I don't think auditioner is a word. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteUnderneath my school shirt, I have a Pikachu shirt. That Pikachu shirt gives me the abilities of Pikachu himself. I would use it by shocking the people who constantly annoy me, which is almost, basically, pretty much everyone. Not only does my Pikachu shirt give me powers, but my horseshoe ring also gives me powers. If I twist it a certain way like a locker combination, then I can become invisible. I would actually use this all the time. Especially to scare all of my friends by popping out of no where.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
DeleteIt's free write friday you guys. I'm sleepy and everybody keeps yelling.
ReplyDeleteHis lips were the shape of rose petals, and the tint of June sunsets. His teeth appeared in a off-white blur and tugged against his bottom lip in concentration. Eyes like the ocean washed up and over the computer screen. My own eyes like chocolate melted over him with interest, and when our gazes met it was a collision of color so bright I could have sworn sparks flew. It only lasted a second. He reminded me of thunder, crashing loud against my subconscious mind in a fearful familiarity. Where had I known him before? Crimson surfaced at the tips of my cheeks, creating a warmth that traveled down my neck and dipped into my collarbones. I wondered if he noticed how much his presence affected me. How his aura wrapped itself around my lungs and gripped them tight. He made me breathless, and I didn’t even know his name. English paper. Romeo and Juliet. What is love? I forced my eyes to concentrate on the screen in front of me. Large clouds rolled over the sun, sending chills prickling across my left arm. It was a Monday in June, and the Alabama air was unusually chilly that day. He’d come in a cloud of dust, raging down the main road in a midnight black Mustang, and he’d brought winter with him.
ReplyDeleteMy jacket is a special jacket. You wear it hunting and no matter how cold it is outside, you will be warm in this jacket. It is the best jacket ever. The wearer will always be satisfied. If its just a little chilly outside then it will only be a little warm but if it is -123 degrees you will be all warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteFREE WRITE FRIDAY! I am so glad that today is Friday! I can't wait to get the heck out of here! I haven't seen my boyfriend in a week and I can't wait to see him! I think that this week has been just dragging on and on and on. I honestly thought it wouldn't end. Yesterday was my last day in clinicals and I am going to miss all the residents at Life Care, I told my teacher I was going to go back and just tell them that I was going to volunteer so that I could see all the residents again! I told my favorite resident bye last night and she wished me luck, I almost cried but I didn't. It is so sad leaving them, I was only there for 4 days but it seemed that I was there for a month. Everyone in there was nice and made my day go from horrible to the greatest. They are the most funniest people out there and I hope that I get a job there because I love love love that place.
ReplyDeleteI felt the sweat drip down my neck at a rapid pace. The walls started to close in on me. I was a lost ship in a stormy ocean. The anticipation for all of it to be over was unreal. I couldn't think. I couldn't talk. I couldn't even breathe. Everything about the situation panicked me. I just needed to get out. The stress was overwhelming. I was never going to be good enough. Everything I did up to this point was for nothing. All of my hard work didn't pay off. As the judge viewed my previous award winning project, I knew it was going down hill. The look on his face made me feel like the stupidest person alive. I wasn't good enough.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I am exhausted today, but I am still in a good mood. I'm hoping work will be great because that sometimes can ruin my day and I would rather it not. I am trying out for TNHS dance team and I am super excited. This weekend will be fulfilled of practice for dance team, studying, the ACT and work. Doesn't sound too joyous, but I will try to get everything done and make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteThis week was a good week but then it got really dope when my best friend told me he had an extra ticket to see Tim Tebow speak at Southeast Christian Church. Tim Tebow is my favorite football player and he's definitely an inspirational role model in my life as well. It was sweet to see things from his perspective and all the various subjects he talked about during that time period. So this week has been fantastic now I just got to get some sleep tonight and the weekend will top it off.
ReplyDeleteITS FRIDAY!! WHOOP! Not much going on this weekend. Today i'll probably just drive around with my mom for a little bit, and then i'll go home and take a nap. Saturday I will be attended the Children's Home again, and I am really excited about that! Then Sunday is church, and then that night i'll probably cry myself to sleep because we'll have school the next morning....yay -_-
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday! But no one would know that if there werent any calendars because today does not feel like a Friday at all. I can't think of the last time it even felt like a Friday. All the days after Spring break feel like they all mold together and don't distinguish a difference. The closer we get to summer, the more my motivation is decreasing. I should be more motivated but the only thing that motivates me at school is knowing I can go to sleep when I get home. That sounds really bad but I have been extremely tired the past two weeks.
ReplyDeleteSummer is my favorite time of year. Everything is warm and the sun stays out forever. Going swimming and being outside all day is perfect. Winter is my least favorite time of year. I hate cold weather and the snow makes it worse. I can't wait for summer.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is Thunder over Louisville and as of right now, I'm not going, but I've still got my fingers crossed. Next weekend is the Miley Cyrus concert and I really wish I was going; at first, I was asked to go by a friend, but I can't go because I'm supposedly going to Iowa for the weekend. Our date to travel up there may be moved, according to my cousins grad party, but as of right now we are currently visiting my family in Iowa on the weekend of the Miley Cyrus concert. So, no concert for me. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm actually pretty excited for this weekend. There's a large possibility I'll be going to Thunder Over Louisville and I'm ecstatic. I've been to Thunder 3 or 4 times and it just never gets old. My mom got a hotel room close to the waterfront so if circumstances demand we'll be able to watch from our room. Even though its only in Louisville, getting a hotel room gives the illusion of going on vacation so my mind will be able to wander from all the school stresses which will be great. I plan on taking quite a bit of my own money so I can buy some souvenirs and lots of fried food. This will be my little brother's first time ever going to Thunder. He's eight and I can't wait to see his face light up at the air show and the glistening fireworks once the sun goes down. All in all, I'm hoping for a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I am taking the ACT at Nelson County High School. This will be the first time I will be taking the ACT and I am excited yet nervous at the same time. I need to be sure to stay focused and use my time wisely. I will not be able to handle the anticipation of waiting for my scores though. I am a very impatient person when it comes to things like these. I can't wait to see what I get and I hope it is a good indication of how I will do when I actually take the ACT. I wonder what kind of people make the ACT. I imagine them somewhat like Plankton from Spongebob creating diabolical questions and evil paragraphs. I'm kidding, I'm sure they are wonderful people who care about our success. This would be a pretty cool job to do because you would get to create the questions that students will answer nationwide. Students all over the country would be answering a question you created. However, I cannot imagine myself working like this because I don't like working under pressure and time requirements.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that it is Friday because i'm staying with my grandma and then tomorrow i will be going swimming for my birthday that was Friday. So i'm pretty excited for that, also i'm ready to go to sleep because i have been exhausted everyday this week. But this week has went by really fast. Also it is very warm outside so i will probably go to my grandmas and swim.
ReplyDeleteAs time went on, you slowly began to separate yourself from everyone and a no to a weekend at a friend's house became sitting in the corner of the library alone during lunchtime and late nights crying yourself to sleep. You didn't understand how it happened and why, all of a sudden, you began having dark thoughts. You try to get them out of your head, but it's difficult when they made your mind their home; no matter how hard you tried to make them disappear, they always resurfaced. Sometimes it would be in the middle of a math lesson, and other times it would be in your dreams, where the nightmare was so complex and vivid that it make you believe they were actually real.
ReplyDeleteI can't even think today. My brain is just a big swirling jumble of thoughts and I'm struggling to just pick one to think about. I go to get my restricted license on Monday and I'm really super nervous about it. I just keep thinking about all the fun stuff I'll be able to do with a license. Like are you hungry? Lets go to Taco Bell. Not to mention not having to wait on my parents every time I want to go somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThere's going to be an All Time Low concert in Louisville on April 23rd, which is 4 days before my birthday. I'm trying to convince my mom to let be go because it's only $20 and it would be an amazing birthday present. All I need is someone to take me because my mom doesn't like the part of town it's in. I would ask her to take be but she doesn't like their music and it would be awkward for her to be at that concert. Any other would be okay just not All Time Low. For some reason I have a Panic! At The Disco song stuck in my head and it won't go away. I don't like this. It's not that I don't like Panic, I just can't get it out of my head and I can't remember the name and that really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteThe socks were infused with an ancient magic. It can only be found on the highest peak of the Himalayan Mountains on November 18th, every three years. Only one blossom of the plant grows and withers away at midnight. The magic blossom was retrieved centuries ago and put into the fabric by my ancestors. They used the magic to jump to the highest branches in the trees and collect the rare fruit that they found to be sacred. I use the socks for a different purpose. I use them to carry me up and over a bar. A high jump bar. No body has ever heard about the socks before because they would be considered illegal if discovered. But seeing as the question came up, it seemed like a good time to get this secret off of my chest. The socks will only carry you up as far as you believe you can go. If you believe you can reach the sky with all of your heart, the socks will take you there. If you only believe you can jump four feet and two inches, that's all the farther you will go. I need to believe that I can jump that next height and the socks will acknowledge my belief and carry me up and over.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. I've written about this before. But honestly. Where in the heck do squirrels go during hurricanes???? They have to have some sixth sense like the way the farm animals went all whack-o in Wizard of Oz before the twister came... Maybe squirrels are just this way. They most likely pile suitcase on suitcase of acorns and tree nuts into their tiny little hands and go bounding off freely into the non-hurricane-cumulonimbus-cloud-filled sunset. "They hide in the trees." My friend Joey tried to tell me. In response, I could only laugh out loud. Does he really think squirrels are that dumb? Squirrels can run up to 20 mph and that is a true fact. If they don't get their sixth-sense warning then they will be barreling out of that place faster than the poor humans can ever hope to run. Also in fact, squirrels have not evolved in any way for over 37 million years. That is because they are already perfect and have no need to evolve. Squirrels don't hide in the trees, silly child, squirrels hide underground in their emergency hurricane bunkers that they have built for generations. Don't undermine the squirrels.
ReplyDeleteToday we play P.R.P which is going to be really difficult they are one of the best teams in the state and the defending state champions. well we aren't expected to win so just go out there and try. so i hope we do good and maybe beat them just think of everyone who would be shocked.
ReplyDeletegoodluck.. try not to lose so much
DeleteWell on the way to this class I took a moment to look at the FFA logo on the wall by Mr. Hamond's classroom. Something unfamiliar about it grabbed my attention, after stopping in the middle of the hallway to get a better look, it hit me. The logo resembled a corn cob. I can't believe that I never noticed this. I have seen the logo 9089867789 times and never, not once, noticed it. It along the outside of the logo was a row of corn kernels as though i was looking dead center of a cut in half corn cob. Other then that I have to work today and work on a shit load of makeup work/ test corrections. I feel like every week I tell myself i need to take my education more seriously, sometimes it's not all about living in the moment, but more so preparing yourself for your future.
ReplyDeleteWe have a softball game today and I'm still sick, yayyy. Ready to go home and sleep. Had the stomach virus and now I have allergies. It's getting better, but I have geometry next class, ugh yay.
ReplyDeleteFree write Friday.. Well this will be a busy weekend.. Tonight we have a game anddd Devin comes home from being out of town all weekend thank gosh. Saturday morning i'm going dress shopping for prom then afterwards I'm going to Devin dads house for the first time, we usually go to his moms so this will be different. I don't know if I will be going to thunder or not but either way I'll be happy because I get to see Dev. Then all day Sunday I'll be practicing the dance routine for Auditions and knowing my dad, I'll have a few hours squeezed in there to practice softball.
ReplyDeleteEverything is the same nothing ever seems to change. Just another thought another feeling another day nothing new to attain. Its an unbroken chain of the same old boring thing.
ReplyDeleteto be honest i was having a really good day and have been for the past 2 weeks. Then i go to 5th period and it goes down hill. i wish we didn't have to talk bout it. it the one thing that hurts me the most. i just cant shake it. im surprised i could hold it in. its like a new record for me. normally when we talk about it im out i cant do it anymore. and i leave the conversation but this time it got thrown in my face. it happened in 8th grade too. i knew it would happen again. i don't like when it relates to the topic i don't like talking bout it the whole time. well hopefully i can cheer up enough to put a fake smile on. its so bad i don't care if any one reads this oh well. some of them already know. im just really tired i know i gonna fail my test because we weren't even thought it. all she said was take notes do the homework and there is a test for it Friday i know im not doing good. thats my worst subject any ways so ugh. not today.
ReplyDelete
