i finished a big book!!!

okay, first up – i did finish – thanks to mr. couch, i have proof:)

http://photos.al.com/birmingham-news/2013/02/mercedes_marathon_66.html

next, my major task was finishing a 600 page book on…

“antartica” by puccim – for a continent, it’s pretty unexplored – definitely so until the last 100 years – very detailed account of the battle for the continent – even though no one really knew why it was important for the longest – good example as well of how things done in the name of science aren’t typically always done in the name of science:)

“running on air” by coates – book about breathing – and running – i tried it today, and of course, that was why i ran superfast:) the interesting part i think was that coates has been a runner and a coach for 30-plus years – so he has the wisdom to speak of things that made the book good – and would make the books ya’ll read from experts in whatever you enjoy good as well

“just call me jock” by semple and kelley (younger) – library book from 1981 – came from florida – was actually AUTOGRAPHED – which was amazing b/c semple passed away years and years ago – great book about how the boston marathon director used to run things back in the day when several hundred runners ran the thing – next year, there will be 25,000 plus – and i’ll be there too:)

hope your journaling is great – moreover, that your reading is good

    Well people I can now do the cup routine that Beca does in “Pitch Perfect” Yep, I’m awesome like that.

    Poem:

    Everyone thinks you can’t do anything,
    they all think you’re a mistake.
    But you put in this world to enjoy it,
    so why would people do that.
    Why would people do a lot of things they do,
    why would they kill,
    why would they drink.
    Things happen,
    they do stuff.
    And YOU’RE the one the is a mistake?
    You don’t make mistakes like that,
    they do.

    Done, yeah its not that good but whatever, cup time.

    “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
    Ansel Adams

    “An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, β€œWhoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”

    – Luke 9:46-48 (NIV)

  7. Waz up my peeps? Yep, I now have a weird name like Andrew, AnMarie, Anna, and Emily. YAY!!! Us first block kids need to step it up, cmon. WE ARE FUNNY TOO!!! For my first blog, I will do a creative poem.

    Baseball

    Crack of the bat.
    Crunch of the dirt.
    Pop of the ball,
    landing in the glove.
    Chug of Gatorade.
    Yell of the umpire.
    Without these elements,
    baseball is foreign.
    The great American sport,
    lost to never be found.
    Babe to Hamilton.
    Gherig to Trout.
    The sport has endured so
    much evolution, that
    the game is historical.
    Koufax to Lincecum.
    Paige to Kershaw.
    Baseball is history, for
    some it is life.
    Everyday they step out
    onto the red dirt, Americans.
    Players. Fathers. Sons.
    Parts of history.

    That was my first blog, I have another to come.

  8. Waz up my peeps…AGAIN. Tonight, I am going to talk about a book I am
    re-reading called “Cosmic” by: Frank Cottrell Boyce.

    In this book, Liam is tall-SUPER TALL. Premature you could call it. His height in several occasions, gets him into areas/privileges that a kid of his age wouldnt normally get. Not that if anyone knew his real age, that he would still be permited into those areas. It’s just that with facial hair and towering height, you are expected to be a thirty-year old. The bad thing about Liam’s height is that whenever he is mistaken for a grown up, he doesn’t tell them otherwise. He enjoys the freedom-which is how he ended up in space. While his parents thought he was at the Lake District pond dipping, he was many miles up in space revolving the moon. Another example is whenever Liam stopped by a Porsche showroom with his friend Florida Kirby. Liam pretended that he was Florida’s dad, and Florida pretended that she was his daughter. Liam was given the opportunity to test drive a Porsche, IN WHICH HE DID!!!!

    Well, that’s it for my blogging this week.

  9. “that was a loooong time out!!!”
    btw (look at me using fancy acronyms) that is an inside joke that none of you peasants get! ha! oh and acording to adison im to fat for all of me to fit in the shot of the camera!

    anyway….. yea i tried out for drama team too with julie. julie did really well you guys, i think i did pretty good too, but josh’s imitation of voldemort definitley topped the cake. excuse me but i think he who shall not be named is outside my door. never should have said it!!!!

    oh and mr mayfeild if your wondering, all of us are quoting your valentines story on facebook right now:)

    oh yes im multitasking, not just on facebook but with extra classes too.
    did i mention:band,math team, drama team, cant wait until i start marching band. i would be on the scholars bowl team but MR MAYFEILD THINKS IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

    now that im done ranting i guess ill mention our Oscar thing on teusday!

    still looking for something to wear. once again im caught in the ‘what to wear’ stage and the ‘nothing in my closet’ stage that every girl across the world is put in at least once in their life.

    oh and have i mentioned that i am obsessed, and i mean deeply deeply obsessed with this nerdy sci-fi show called Doctor Who? Everyone go check it out it is sooooo amazing!

    so does everyone know how we had a fire drill today? well we went outside, mrs hawkins class i mean, and got in a line. and i just loved how the band kids’ first response was THE INSTRUMENTS!! of coarse we all knew it was just a drill(well the smarter ones did anyway) but we were discussing how all the other kids would be celebrating the burning down of the school while we sifted through the ashes looking for our instruments. who am i kidding? wed all be in there searching for our instruments if the building was still in flames!

    now that ive talked randomly for the past 20 minutes i guess ill mention what im reading. i am actually reading The Host, by stephenie Meyers. even though i refuse to read the twilight series(though i know one day the time must come) stephenie meyers i realize is actually a pretty good author. more updates next time! thankyou and goodnight!

  10. Okay so all night I have had to do makeup work from Mrs. Burttrama class since I missed her class the other day to go to the dentist.
    AND I get to miss her class again next week because I have to go and get “special” dental work done.
    Yay that absolutely rocks.

    So I finished reading Safe Haven which is the awful Nicholas Sparks book.

    Ohmygosh it was horrible I can’t even explain to you how awful that book was.

    It is easily one of the worst books I have ever had the displeasure to read.

    I wanted so badly to throw that book in a shredder while I was reading it but I am the type of persom that has to finish a book once I start it.

    I have hope that whatever the book is, it will get better.

    Safe Haven got worse.

    Anyways, now I am reading Alice’s adventures in wonderland

    I have already read that book before and it is a really quick read, I just decided to read it because I have nothing else to read at the moment.

    So basically, Alice falls down the rabbit hole, chases the white rabbit, shrinks herself, then makes herself bigger, gets the key, unlocks the door, finds the white rabbit, talka to a caterpillar, goes to a mad tea party

    Literally everything that happens in the movie.

    Okay. That is all

  11. Laying in bed thinking of how I played the game tonight as I ran up and down the court in the state finals with Shelby county high as I think how I got all my fouls and then fouled out in the third quarter I believe I helped my team with 12 points and three blocked shots I even got the tip back to my team I stole the ball. As I drift off to sleep my dream was about me going to the nba and shoot threes for 81826362781828 dollars a year and in my dream I fell in a game turned my ankle and was out for good no more playing so my final game we lost and I was stuck in a wheel chair for good so I got up to a new task learn to play wheel chair basketball and being a great player that strives to do the best sure enough I became the best player ever and now I can dunk in a wheelchair too

  12. mr mayfield why does the article say your from chelsea…?

    mon-annabeth aims the chariot at the water and they hit it all full force. leo blacks out and the next thing he sees is someone pulling him onto shore. then some people with giant dryers come out and dry them and the are automatically dry.

    tues- annabeth introduces the three to the camp and asks them if they have been claimed. then the three look at each other like annabeth is crazy. then leo asks what a claiming is and annabeth tells him he will find out soon enough.

    weds- suddenly leos head starts glowing like a hammer and everyone steps back from him in awe. then leo starts freaking out and swatting his hair. then jason says that that is the symbol hephaestus and annabeth says hes right.

    thurs- annabeth tells someone to take leo on a tour of the camp and to introduce them to his brothers and sisters. she then tells a girl named drew to take jason to chiron. and annabeth takes piper on her own tour of camp. piper could tell that annabeth was sad about something because she seemed distracted during the tour.

  13. Hey Will M., Bailey and I bring plenty of the fun. We’re ninjas and I’m the King of Dinosaurs, so take that Waffle Bird!

  14. Quote Mr. Mayfield, “Hurry, hurry, let’s go let’s go… I’m just kidding I don’t know why it’s beeping.”

    Mr. Mayfield nearly gave us a heart attack, and Billy ran faster than normal, so Billy was definitely scared. That was really the only reason for this blog but since I’m here I’ll just… ah forget it.

  15. 5th block is too amazing to be compared to, Will. AND I CAN’T BELIEVE NOBODY COMMENTED ON MY TYPO!
    Waffffffllllllleeeeeeessssss

  16. This is Fred on Will R.’s iPad Mini. By the way Anna first block doesn’t have to blog to be awesome. We’re just awesome because our class is full of ninjas, dinosaurs, bean armies, and Napoleon Washingtons!

  17. i forgot to blog so i will make up really fast and do a twenty minute creative writing… so i was sitting in class when suddenly an announcement goes off ” attention we need all baseball players to go see coach smith at this time.” i get up and then get to my coach and then another announcement.. “code red code red” so coach smith springs into action locks his door and tells us all to get on the wall. we were all confused on what had just happened and then a gunshot goes off with a faint yell sounded like a man died and sure enough mr. howard was dead so the gunshot went of again getting closer to us when a bullet breaks the lock to the room and a gunman in a mask shoots coach smith and aims the gun straight at us. when he did this we scattered and tackled the gunman then i picked up the gun and they held him on the floor but he got up and ran just then i realized who it was it was mr. mayfield getting revenge because he wasnt good enough to play baseball for middle scool so then i started down the hall way with the gun but he had fled the site of crime and i told them who it was and then they sent a search party and found him in an off shore house in porta rico with bombs set up around his house and then they arrested him and it was over..

  18. Ugh playing sports = tired all the time……. I will blog for ten minutes on creative then try todo another in the morning but as I was on first I’m he
    Toting my lead. The coach yells ” back!” I commit to second when I see the ball get to second before me I head back to first the ball gets back to second before me and I head back but knowing the same thing could happen I head fake and commit to second huffing for air. I dove to second the ball comes zipping by hitting the glove and I hopped up being safe so I get ready for the next play…..
