Week 7A - Briggsy Awards

Most Interesting Part of This Class: All of the different projects we did in between stories and poems and such. I thought those were always fun. Most Boring/Useless Part of This Class: Book Roundups. I never remembered to do mine until the last minute so they always sucked. Hardest I Laughed in This Class: Probably when we watched our stories we made on paint and how Brigs made fun of everyone’s. Thing That I Learned That Will Be Most Useful to Know in the Real World: Everything about writing stories and poems and things. Best Thing About Brigs as a Teacher: He’s fun and makes projects and things to so we aren’t always learning right out of the book. Also, every day we had time to talk to people, even while we were working so it wasn’t all that boring. Thing Brigs Could do to Make This Class Better For Future Classes: I can’t think of anything.

Week 6A - Your Top Films

The Blindside is my favorite Drama. I just think the whole thing is great and I love it. I could watch it over and over a thousand times. I like a lot of chick flicks. I make Skyler go see them with me in theaters all the time. I don’t remember the last time we went and saw something he picked :p oops. Well my favorite chick flick would probably be Sweet Home Alabama. It’s just really cute. For horror movies, I can’t really pick a favorite. They are all basically the same but I love watching them! Same with Disney movies. For my favorite comedy I’ll say Elf because it was the first movie I could think of that makes me laugh the whole way through it. I love Elf :)

Week 5A - A Wrinkle In Time

I can’t really think of anything that I would go back and redo in my life. There are a few things but they are not that big or major. If I could I would probably go back and redo a couple things from high school, like not doing any sports or clubs or anything. That was kind of a dumb choice. I probably would have talked to more people then and it could have been better. Also, I would probably change how I acted with Skyler because he complains about it a lot. I would just walk away from him a lot and not talk to him whenever I got mad. He didn’t like that too well and now I realize how annoying he is going to be about it. :p

Week 4A - Casting Your Life

There are a lot of people that are essential in my life so I’ll just pick a few. To play the part of Skyler in my life, I would pick Taylor Lautner to play him because I just think he’s really hot and he seems like a good match. I’d probably pick someone like Selena Gomez to play me because she’s fun. My mom said she would want Sandra Bullock to play her because well she just likes her. I think this movie would be a mixture of things. It’d be funny a lot of the times, but there would probably be a lot of drama in it too.

Week - 3A I'm So Sorry

Dear ******, I am sorry for being so mean to you. You are pretty annoying though so sometimes I just can't help it. For example, when you sing while I am trying to talk to you, or when you come up behind me and scare me when I am at my locker, or when you pull my chair out from under me when I go to sit down. Yeah, that gets pretty annoying when it happens every day so I don't really pay attention if I am mean to you or not because I am already just really annoyed with you. But I am sorry for being mean. Sometimes you deserve it though. Love, Marisa :)

Week 2A - Snopes

So to this day I always thought that if you swallowed your gum it would stay in your stomach for seven years. Apparently that is not true and my parents and teachers lied to me so that I wouldn't swallow my gum. I also learned from snopes that January is break up month. I didn't know there was an actual month for that. I don't really see a difference in the amount of people breaking up in January though. Reading all of these different things was really weird. Some of them were entertaining, but I think a lot of them were kind of stupid but whatever.

Week 1A - Love Stories

I would have to say that my favorite stories are ones that my uncle tells me. I don’t see him much but when I do we always just sit there and he just talks and talks. It’s never boring though because every story he tells is so funny. He doesn’t even purposely try to be funny either, I just think he is funny and he makes his stories really interesting to listen to. I don’t really remember any specific story he has told me, but I like all of them and I love to hear them. His stories are my favorite.
