10 SSO (Second Sound-Off)

When I was a child, I can't remember what my favorite song was because I wasn't that into music then, However my mother would teach me how to slow dance and other various dancing styles to instrumental jazz and slow music. She would always teach me how to dance when I got home from school and, We would dance until everybody came back from the multitude of chores my mother gave them to sneak the two of us some alone time. When I think of that kind of music now I remember all the slow dances, and the rhythmic music that drove us to jive-step, do "the twist" and other dances in my mothers experienced mind.

“Figurative Language Games”

The best figurative language game I played tonight is metaphor battleship,because…. In order to play this game, I had to play the original battleship game with a twist,every hit i won i had to answer a metaphor, if i got it right i could "hit" the ship, if it was wrong I continued the game with a blip telling me where my "hit" would have been My final score on this game was winning on the hard diffuculty. If you want to play this game, go to this link[http://www.quia.com/ba/42131.html?AP_rand=163810965].My least favorite figurative language game is fling the teacher, because it did not appeal to me or my skill levels, In order to play this game, I had to get the right answer to fling the teacher away,My final score on this game was 3. If you want to play this game, go to this link [http://www.newton.k12.ks.us/tech/fling3.html].Another enjoyable figurative language game is simile practic, becauseyou get to find the simile in each poem. In order to play this game, I had to choose the correct stanza with the similie in the poem. My final score on this game was 25 right.

hamburger paragraph

My winter vacation was overall good and a well needed break from school and the campus in general. First off, I went to my father's on pass until Sunday which I came back and Monday night I attended the Quentin jammer dinner and received a 55 dollar gift card to the Westfield shopping mall and an iPod nano 5th generation. Overall I was excited that I got what I was given because a lot of people were given large presents and I received a small gift bag. Then I stayed at school for Christmas and went on pass until January 3 when I came back from pass. I loved how winter break helps relax people and get people ready for the New Year and the new school quarter.

NEW YEARS!!!!!

Happy new years!!!! welcome to 2010 everybody and it's another year past and gone and it's time to start fresh with a new year, a new attitude, an new perception on life....anything new to try would be perfect all this year because it's bout that time for some of us ( ok A LOT of us) to switch up our routine and we need to :P . Meaning for some of us to become those aspiring success stories we hear about all the time. My winter break was pretty good, I stayed on campus for Christmas (much to the obligation of my father& sister who thought I would only go on pass if my girlfriend went :[ ) and got an amazing present from my girlfriend!! I got an new soccer ball (better than the one i have now, much in disrepair but it's the same one) a desktop photo on me and her and a photo collage of me and her that says "Merry Christmas 2009" which I love so very much! I also received another soccer ball but this one, was a FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa match replica ball in Brazilian national colors with the team's name in it's native tongue "Brasil" along with a 100$ gift card (which by now has been used to buy myself Christmas presents in the form of FIFA 10, Burnout Revenge, and Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4 Shippuden ) and to top it off, i also got a 55$ gift card along with an ipod nano 5th generation, and with some of my money leftover from game purchases i also bought my girlfriend a Kodak camera with a memory card in her favorite color, blue as a Christmas present. After Christmas I went on pass to my father's and had a very good time, I went to target with my girlfriend and her best friend and we had a party in there fooling around and talking about evil people we overheard (more like yelled their husband out in public for no reason) and just enjoyed my fantastic new years eve. Overall I would say that I enjoyed myself and I loved my winter break and I can't wait until Christmas this year.....Looking towards that....
