Ride Your Bike To Work Day

Since today is ride your bike to work day, me and my friend decided to ride our bikes to school. We don't live that far, only a couple of miles, but riding was exhausting. I've walked home from school many times, so I've never paid attention to all of the slopes, which were really hard to ride up. On top of that, my brakes don't work and that didn't help me going down. Plus, I had a lot of books in my bookbag. The day is only a little over half way over and I already know that I have two big books to take home. I haven't been to math yet, but I know that I'll have homework in that class, so I'll probably have to take that book home too. Anyway, when we reached the school, we didn't know how to put the chain on. Neither of us has used one and I didn't even own one until last night. Well let's just say that I hope my bike is still there. Otherwise I'm stuck walking.

Dandelions

So small and yellow, though they mean a lot to many people for different reasons. To a little kid coming home from school, the flower shows love when it's given to mothers. The dandelion gives color to spring, making the grass have a dotted yellow appearance. Dandelions are like birth, for every spring the dandelions come to life. Dandelions are also death, for like everything in this world, they die. They can also cause anger. My mom doesn't like them so she made me cut most of them in my backyard and now it's full of them. They are just like rabbits, leave a few alone and when you come back, there's a lot more.

Cleveland

I'm glad it's Friday because I'm going to Cleveland tomorrow. I'm going to an Indians game, which I know will have a lot of the seats filled, since their versing the Tigers. Last time I went to an Indians-Tigers game, the place was packed and I sat near the flagpole. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the game because two annoying girls in front of me kept turning around to look at my family. It got so annoying that I almost said something to them, I literally had to bite my tongue, which is sad because I don't like to talk. Anyways, I hope traffic isn't bad (It's about a 3 hour drive if my family doesn't take the turnpike and a little less than 3 hours if we do) and I hope that the Indians win. (I'm a bad fan, I'm really not expecting it).

It's Friday!

I'm so glad it's the weekend. I've had so many projects this week. Sometimes I think teachers get together to decide the today when they will all give projects. I've had creative writing (which I've known about for a couple weeks), French, and English. There was a time my Freshman year when my French and English teachers both made their students do brochures at the same time. That's when I became very suspicious about teachers deciding to give projects on the same day. Also, I'm tired.

I have no big plans for this three day weekend. I might watch my brothers race their cars for their Pine Wood Derby, but then I have to be there by 8:30 a.m. I'm just glad that I have no homework. I was supposed to go to a basketball game tonight to play with the band, but now I don't think that I am. I've gone to 8 out of 12 of those games this year, which is as many as the last two years combined, and I'm sick of them.

It's also Friday the 13th. I've never seen the first part of Friday the 13th, but I saw the second part and I don't understand it. I followed the movie all the way up to the end, but at the very end, I got lost and didn't understand what happened.

I love reading most poems. My all-time favorite poem is Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, by Robert Frost. I found part of that poem in a Dean Koontz book that I read and I really like the poem. The book was really good also. It's my third favorite.

The days not completely over yet. I still have a math test.

Well anyways, I'm just glad it's Friday.

Not Plain Jane

So I spent an hour looking for a blog to write about for my creative writing class and doing my French homework at the same time and I finally found a blog that I like. The poems in Not Plain Jane are really good, though they were created by different people.

One can easily tell that Jane loves to knit, due to she has a bunch of pictures of it and she talks about it alot. I have no idea how to knit. She also has a list about her blogging experience, which is kind of creative. She is also fighting cancer. The blog is mostly about knitting, with some poems, but it is creative.

Books

When you open a book, a new life begins.
You follow the character through its journey,
All the way to the end.
When the book ends, the character dies,
Unless there is a sequel.
But like everything, the character will die.
Books have an ending and so does life.
There is no sequel to life and the only
Way your life can carry on after you're gone,
Is through your children.
Books are like life and they both
End.


My poem compares books to life. Life has journeys and books are filled with adventures that the characters go on. Books end and so does life. There are sequels to books, but no matter how many of the books in a series there are, they will eventual end. That can be compared to life because all living things die. I love to read and that helped inspire me to write this poem. I'm usually always sad when I come to the end of a book because the adventure is over.

Random things

Hey! My name is Kayla and I go to school in Ohio. I'm not a big blogger fan and this is my first one. My favorite color is red and I'm a big sports fan. I'm probably not going to watch the Superbowl but I'm going for the Cardinels because they are the underdogs and I'm sick of hearing about the Steelers.



At school, I'm really quiet but at home, I'm loud and I'm also loud with friends. My friend almost got kicked out of her apartment because her cousin and me were so loud. We stayed up to two in the morning laughing. They're wierd. Plus when I went to Canada with the band, parents from the other band that we went with us yelled at us for being loud and stayed outside our door for a little while. They had a room next to us and they were constantly flushing the toilet. That was a fun trip.

This year, I'm going to Florida with the band. It's going to be great, especially since I haven't been to Florida for a while and I'll be with friends.


I enjoy reading books. Currently, I have been reading a lot of Dean Koontz. He has a way of pulling one into books. They are filled with suspense but they are for horror fans because the books I have read have disgusting things in them.



I love to travel. Last summer I went to Gettysburg and that was very interesting. Itook a ghost tour, which kind of cost a lot. It was fun because I learned a lot on the tour, though I didn't see anything. I went to Mount Rushmore once and it was amazing how the rock was sculpted and how no one died in the making. I thought it would be a little bigger but it was still amazing how big the rock was and how it was man made.



I like learning about history. It's so interesting.
