Soccer season

     Every year for the past 4 years I have played school soccer. During soccer season I always had a ton of fun with all of my classmates. Every year we have done very well in the games. My favorite season was probably this year because of how good we were. This season we only lost 2 games, and both of them were to catholic high.
     My favorite part of this past season was the St. Michaels tournament. In this tournament we played 3 games, and then made it to the final.  In the finals we lost to Catholic High, who used some of their varsity players. The most memorable part of that weekend was winning are final game to make it to the finals. Overall soccer is a really fun sport to play during Winter.
   

Reading Response

     We have been reading the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and so far I have really enjoyed it. This is one of the best books in the recent history. When I started reading I thought it would be a very boring book, but so far it has been very intriguing. The writer uses a lot of vivid details, that makes it a lot better to read.
      My favorite part about this book is the drawings that the author uses. The drawings in this book are like a kid drew, but they are still very good. The pictures add a lot to the book, showing the reader what they mean. I also really enjoy the pictures, because I don't really like to read, and this makes me want to get to the next page. So far I am really enjoying this book

My Topic

       My topic for the research project is about the Functions of the Roman Gods. This topic is important because most people only know about Greek Mythology. From doing research I learned that the Romans developed their religion off of the Greeks, when they conquered them. Also this research is very interesting because of all the great stories, and Gods. This topic is also interesting because many of the stories are made up because the historians would write anything they hear about.

    Jupiter was arguably the most significant Roman God. There was thousands of temples for Jupiter in Ancient Rome, for all of the citizens to worship at. Also Jupiter was the head God, and ruled over everyone with his power and lightning bolt. Another significant God was Juno, The wife of Jupiter. Juno was very important to the women of Rome. They worshipped her more than a lot of the other gods, because she fought for the education of girls. Overall this research topic is really interesting.

What I Learned

     The first semester of high school was very hard. While struggling to study for all of the test I learned that I study best by studying a little at a time. Before any test I would set time periods to study. This study strategy really helped me at the end of the semester, and for exams.
     I will continue to use this strategy to help me with the end of my first year in high school. This semester I am striving to do even better than last semester. Without this study strategy I don't think the first semester would have gone as well as it did. I hope that this semester's exams will be really easy with this study tool. Overall this strategy helped me with the first semester, and will continue to help for the rest of the year.

     Over Christmas break I had lots of fun with my family, and neighbors. Every year on Christmas Eve we go across the street to my neighbors house. While we are there we eat breakfast, and watch Christmas movie. The main thing we do though is give presents to each other. Since I drew one of my neighbors I decided to buy him a bunch of fishing stuff, since he loves to fish.
     On Christmas Eve night every year my Cousins come over. Every year since I was 5 we have ate spaghetti each night. After every one is done eating we open these small little packs, which have a bunch of random items in them. Once everyone is done playing with their games we open presents. Overall Christmas is the best time of the year.

Research

     So far my research project has been going pretty well. I found all of the sources I needed very quickly. The start of the annotation wasn't to bad, but then I still need to do three before the end of that night. Once I finally finished I was really happy, but then I learned we had to make notecards. Even though the notecards are kind of hard I think I will be able to get them done because of all the time we have to work on them.
     The good thing about this project is that we have both Social Studies and English to work on it. If we didn't get those two class periods I don't think I would be able to finish. We just started working on notecards, and they are already due tomorrow night. The hard part about these notecards is that we have to do 35 of them! Even though this project has been pretty hard I think it will turn out to be okay.
