Alright peeps.... you may have heard of this book called Divergent by Veronica Roth. It is the first book in the Divergent trilogy: which includes Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant.
Divergent, I have read. It is actually a really awesome book! The movie, not as good, but acceptably great. I would rate the book 4.5 stars, and the movie 4 stars.
Let me just tell you, the movie would be way longer than 2 hours if they descriptively act out what the book says..... They didn't include the chocolate cake, or Uriah, or that annual family event thingy... yeah

Art and Music, compare and contrast
Art (drawing terms)
- Uses tools (pastels, pencils, paints, charcoal, etc.)
- Uses paper (or some sort of surface)
- Sometimes uses add-on decorations (3-D effects: foil, fabric, etc.)
- Uses your creativity and imagination
- Something you can do almost everywhere
- Individual (usually)
Music (music and choir terms)
- Uses an instrument/your voice
- Uses music sheets
- Uses other accessories for cleaning/maintaining (rosin, cleaning rod/cloth, etc.)
- Uses your creativity and imagination (not as often as art)
- Not something you can do everywhere
- Individual or whole orchestra/band/choir
Anymore you can think of?

SBAC test = dun dun DUN
As you should know, they changed the STAR Test to the SBAC Test, which is somewhat more difficult and inconvenient. For those of you good with the computer, then great! But other's, not so great... think about it... you're stuck on the test window for the whole class period. Math is even worse. Before, you can do it on paper and you know that one is your test, the other is your answer document, and the other is your scratch paper.
NOW WE HAVE TO DO ALL THE CALCULATIONS on a piece of paper and the rest on the computer...... it's not simple.
Again, based on my experience on the practice tests, I don't like it. (the only thing i like about it is the computer itself. I think it's an Acer Chromebook C7/720)

Which one? Math or Science?
Which on do you think is more important? (comment your answer if you want) Here's the answer based on my so-called theory......
Ok, many of you might jump to math, since it's how everyone says it.....but don't forget about science!
Math and science may not be my best subjects, but they sure can be interesting (and boring at the same time)......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's start on math
MATH: important in everyday life
used for....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's start on math
MATH: important in everyday life
used for....
- Counting
- Concept of time
- Solving problems (That's what math class is for)
- Safety (crossing the road may be an example, right?)
- Building
- etc.
SCIENCE: important for....some parts of life (don't worry, scientists, I'll explain more to even you out!)
used for....
- Exploring
- or Experimenting
- Cooking
- Helping human/creatures (doctors)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So based on those examples, I'm sure you are still wondering what the final agreement of importance it is.....in other words, you are ready for me to tell you the final answer.....but let's keep going, shall we?
Alright, fine.....I really don't know what else to say so let me tell you, so let me just tell you that they are: BOTH IMPORTANT
there, you are welcome...

Okay, so that may look like a checkerboard design, but it's supposed to be "stars" but I think it doesn't look like one...sorry....and I know that there are more than 50 stars (68 "stars")

Random Talk mini-series
So heyy everyone! This is just a "random talk mini-series", so don't mind me....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elective talk. and Chemistry?
Do you people agree that people usually love their elective the most? (well, duh! that's why they chose that class, unless you have a mysterious reason, then never mind). Of course, there are athletic people with PE, and smart people with math. Hmm....Do they get to do some cool chemical reaction thing in Chemistry? OOOH, I WANT TO DO THAT!!! I never tried the baking soda volcano thing....they never allowed that as a science project in my elementary school: because it's too messy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sneaky phones on the loose...
People often don't care about using their phone at school. They sometimes use it during class underneath the table, on the table with their backpack covering their phone, or they go to the bathroom..... (like some girls I know). Don't they ever catch people? Doesn't teachers ever get suspicious?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Popular people (this refers to all schools, not just our's)
Popular people...... here's the math:
pop. girls + pop. boys = popular people ---> simple.
Everyone! This is JUNIOR HIGH, not high school. Seriously? You might think I might have a problem with you hugging some other guy/girl while transitioning to another class, and I do, even though it's none of my business. I even once saw some girl kiss some guy in the lips....facepalm.... again, this is middle school.
And I'm just going to start pouring out my thoughts so don't get offended..... why are popular loud and somewhat annoying? They go on "dates" (how? idk), they go around wearing cool clothes, and they wear make-up..... another big thing. You girls do know that by wearing make-up, you aren't making yourself more beautiful, but instead, you're making your future more, let's just say, not as beautiful. Just leave it with your natural skin and dump those eyeliners, mascaras, and lipsticks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is middle school?
To be straight forward, middle school is where the elementary schools of a district distribute among themselves to make a middle school.... think of it as a the chart below... Keep in mind, it's just an example, and may not be exact in your district.

DISTRICT has:
|

6 elementary schools
|

v
distributes themselves among
3 middle schools

|
v
which distributes themselves among
2 high schools
Is middle school scary? Well, before entering, you have your uncertainties. But don't worry, it's fine. It's actually not that bad once you get used to it. My rating for it is that a "You Can Deal With It", which is in between "You'll Potentially Die" and "Too Easy, Too Bored".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SBAC Testing
Darn, they changed the STAR Test to SBAC.... I took the practice practice test and it was on a computer. It was actually cool type stuff and all that, but I just don't like to do math on a computer.... it makes me feel messy..... Based on the not-real-but-practice test, I think I would rather stick with the STAR Test, which is California only, right?

Different teachers, different personalities: GOTTA LEARN IT.
So we have many different teachers at our school, for different subjects: lang. arts, math, PE, science, etc. I may have one teacher for this subject, while you or someone else may have the other teacher the same subject.
Strict teacher..... oh boy. Just do everything she/he says. Don't annoy her/him. Do all your assignments. Be nice to her/him. Don't talk too much in that class.
Not-as-Strict teacher..... you're in luck! Still do everything she/he says. Don't annoy him/her. Do all your assignments. Be nice to her/him. Don't talk too much, but a reasonable amount may be tolerated.

JB vs. 1D
Sooo....you want me to choose eh? I would say I must choose, I guess I'll go with 1D... but I really have no huge interested in them......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall.....
Sierramont is an awesome school. I love the band and orchestra :) (yay! shoutout to Mrs. McVeigh!) I would rate, not so good, but I would feel it as if it was a 4.7 star school (out of 5 stars, that it). After all, California is an awesome state, right?

Spring Break...... almost over
Hi there! Whoo! How was spring break everyone? Well, I have to sadly announce that it is almost over..... bummer. School's back on Monday, April 28th at 7:55 am. Enjoy these last couple of days :)
By the way, how was your Easter? You guys do know that Easter isn't really about eggs and rabbits, like Christmas isn't about presents? Please say you knew that. (I just put a picture of a basket of colorful eggs there just to add some color)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know, I want to say I'm anonymous and whatnot, but my name is right there '-_-. oh well...
Everyone: don't worry about this period of time. Think of now till the last day of school as a "ending" period of time, because this is the last break we'll ever have in the school year of 2013-2014: LAST BREAK!!!.....Okay, maybe I forgot about Memorial Day on May 26th, which is also a day off. After these few weeks, which is will definitely swing by quickly - if you don't think about it too much, we'll have summer vacation from June 13th to August 25th (73 days aka 2 months and 12 days..... http://www.convertunits.com/)
