Most memorable experience

                          When I was eleven years old, my family and I went out to eat after Sunday morning church service at Golden Corral.  When we arrived there were a lot of people already there and we had to wait almost fifteen minutes to be seated.  Usually when we go there we are seated immediately.  There was a couple that came in right before us and the man was well rounded as well as bald.  When we finally got to sit down, we went to get our food from the buffet and enjoyed a pretty good meal.  I also had drank about five cokes with my meal so before we left I went to relieve myself.  When I went in the restroom, the circular fellow was also in there relieving himself.  This fellow also had an ice cream cone in his left hand while doing his business.  In disgust I continued to watch without him noticing.  He went towards the sink thinking he was just going to wash his hands, but he leaned over towards the mirror and checked his bald head to make sure it was shiny.  He then continued to go to the door without washing his hands where he opened it partly with his right hand then switched the ice cream cone to his right hand while he opened the door the rest of the way and continued to eat it out of his right hand. unwashed.

Why I think students should be able to wear what they want in school

                  Bluegrass Baptist School does not allow you to wear what type of clothes you want.  In most public schools you are allowed to wear whatever you want, whereas in our school you are only allowed to wear the certain dress code that is outlined by the board of the school.  I can understand why we may not be allowed to where anything we want because we are supposed to set an example for other people, and one way we can do this is by watching the type of clothes that we wear, but not allowing us to be able to wear jeans or tee-shirts to an extent, in my opinion, is a little too strict.  Last year we were allowed to pay one dollar to be able to wear jeans on Mondays, but now we are not even given the chance to have one day a week to be able to wear jeans.

                   Our school has a strict dress code to what the students are and are not allowed to wear.  Boys must wear a polo that can be either solid or striped in one direction, with no symbol bigger than the size of a credit card with khaki, navy, black, brown, or gray pants.  On chapel days which are Fridays, boys must wear a button down shirt with a tie.  Also boys are required to wear a belt every day of the week and tuck in their shirt.  After the sixth grade, we are no longer allowed to wear shorts of any kind, where we use to be able to wear khaki, navy, or black shorts. 

                   I have been coming to Bluegrass since kindergarten and the dress code has slacked up a little bit in some ways, but in others, the dress code has gotten even more strict.

 

Conditioning

              Today September 28, 2012 marks the beginning of varsity basketball conditioning at Bluegrass Baptist School.  This conditioning is not an easy thing to accomplish, but in the long run if we stick with it and are persistent, our team will be more conditioned than any other in the KCAA.  Our coach Sherman Parker likes to make us run, and if we mess up or dont run fast enough, we have to run more.  There are many different exercises and drills we do during our conditioning that will also help tone our bodies to be prepared for the upcoming season.  Many of the players on our team were busy this past summer, so we may have an even more rough time with it this year then we did last year.  I consider our varsity basketball conditioning to be one of the most strenuous things I have encountered in my life.  Several exercises require you to give every bit of energy you can muster at the time.  We do planks for two minutes at a time.  A plank is where you lay down on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows and on your tiptoes and hold yourself parallel off of the ground for the whole two minutes.  We also did wall-sits for two minutes at a time.  Wall sits are where you sit up against a wall where it looks like your sitting in a chair with your legs at a 90 degree angle and flexing your abs at the same time.  Another exercise we do is jumping across a line for about a minute and a half.  You put your feet together and jump back and forth over a line for the whole time, think its not hard?  Go try it sometime yourself!  This exercise absolutely strains your calves and quads to the max!

Carry on

               When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band, he said son when you grow up will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the lost.  He said will you defeat them, your plans and broken efforts and the trouble that they have made.  Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom to lead you in the winter to join the Black Brigade.  Sometimes I get the feeling He's watching over me, and other times I feel like I should go through it all, the rise and fall.  And when you're gone we all will want you to know we will carry on, and though your dead and gone, believe me your memory will carry on. 

A third crazy random story

                    Once upon a time there was a man that liked to smash windows, his name was Ernest.  Ernest lived way up in the holler and hardly ever came out to civilization and always wore raggady clothes.  Ernest always went around to the surrounding houses in his community and would throw very large rocks right through the windows of their houses.  Even when his neighbors would catch him throwing the rocks, they would try to run out of their houses an try to come and catch him, but before they could catch him, Ernest had already ran away into the forest.  One day he threw the rock through the wrongs person's house and they called the police.  When the police arrived, they spent several hours out in the forest searching for him.  After many tiresome hours, they finally found where Ernest had been living for the past several months.  They called from outside of his house and ordered for him to come out immediately.  When Ernest came out he had a shotgun armed and loaded, while the two police only had one pistol between the two of them.  Ernest ordered them to throw the firearm to the ground and put their hands on their heads.  From off in the distance one of the neighbors saw the situation from afar off.  Sneaking up from behind, Tom the neighbor knocked the gun out of Ernest's hands and held him on the ground while the two policemen, Barney Fife and Andy Griffith, took both of the guns and arrested Ernest.

Whats going on in school

                   Right now in Bible class taught by Mr. Derek Holmes, we are currently looking in to the depths of the letters from the Apostle Paul.  In American history class, taught by Mr. Michael Frick, we are learning about the time period of the 1700's where Paul Revere and the minutemen warned the town that the British were coming.  During this time Ethan Allen and the Green mountain Boys were going to conquer Fort Ticonderoga.  The First and Second Continental Congress, were being established where John Hancock was the President of it and George Washington was The Commander in Chief.  This was also during the period when The Revolutionary War was taking place, when the British were wearing their crimson red jackets and would stand out in the middle of the field.  In physics class taught by Mr. Brian Bowles, we are learning about the sine, cosine, and tangents of angles and sides and also how to find a missing angle or side.  We are also learning how to use the Pythagorean therom to find missing sides of triangles when you already have two known sides.  In pre-calculus taught by Mrs. Brenda Moore, we are learning  about asymptotes and long division with polynomial functions.  In yearbook taught by Mr. Mark Ellis, we are currently blogging and learning more and more about paintshop pro.  In English class taight ny Mrs. Judy Henard, we are constantly in our grammar books and reading in our literature books.  We have many test and quizzes every week.  In speech class also taught by Mrs. Judy Henard, we are interviewing one another, then introducing them in front of the entire class.  This is just a look into what I am learning about currently at school.
