Lesson 2:
My Goals:
My goals are to get more involved in school, to get good grades and to have fun in High school. Farther off in High school, I want to get into IB, hopefully get a scholarship. Farther into the future, I would like to go to a descent university and study history and literature. Maybe have a family and, well have fun, enjoy life. But right now I'm working on not getting sick.

Successful
Mattering the important things
Arange future
Rest is also important
Time management

My Smart goal:
To stay on task for anything I do, to think and plan my future carefully, letting go of the not-so-important and grasping to important things, to plan my life both short-term and long-term, and to rest and enjoy my life.

So, that was the expensions, now the reflections:
Lesson 1:
If someone were to describe your family character, what would he or she say? What character qualities are high on your family list?

Our family thinks a lot about each other and cares for one another. My family is also very intellegent and focused. They strive to get what they want, yet planning around other's schedules. At times it doesn't work out, but then we still have each other. My family describes me also as intellegent and hard-working, that I care a lot for my family and none that troublesome, unlike other kids.

Lesson 2:
What are your family goals? Is there anything you would like to accomplish together?

Well, my family says that there's nothing we can't do if we stick together. My parents want a house someday, a place to call our own. But they heavily care for my education as well. My parents are also hoping for a job that's not to tiresome, so it can last when they grow old. My family's morals are quite like mine, or should I say that my morals come from those of my parents.

Alright, that was the extensions and reflections, so that part's done. I've also finished the workbook lessons and the quizzes, in which I got 100% on both tests!! :) So now both lessons are done. I'm only doing this until I find out how to make a chart on Blogger, (which I will in a period of time)

So to my real blog. Today was an interesting day. My throat hurts and I drank 3 liters of water. One of my worst fears are washrooms. I just hate public washrooms. So you can imagine what a dilema that was when I've got 3 liters of water in my system. Why am I putting myself through this? First of all, it's just good to drink lots of water, and second, my throat hurting is usually the first signs that I'm going to be sick, which I dread. Not only is it now dangerous to get sick because of the H1N1 virus, but I just don't want to miss class. It's the first month of school, and this is high school, you'll miss a lot more information from a lot more teachers. I can't afford to be sick. So, even if it means public washrooms, I'm going to at least hold on until Winter Vacation, then I can relax a little. But lets hope I don't get sick at all this year. Hey!! That's a goal!
