Extensions Lesson 24
there isn't one

Reflection
Review the effectiveness of Z's communication in the video. What are examples of the ways your family communicates with one another effectively? In what instances are your family's communications ineffective?

I think for the most part, we get our message across, but it's not stated in the best way, probably, and people get angry and misundstand each other, even though they know what each other's meaning is. I think my parents show a wonderful example of this, they tell each other what needs to be told, but in the worst way possible, and there's always misunderstanding. My mom always tells me that she's grown a way for understand my dad even before he gets his message across, but some times her interpretation of his meaning is totally off. Same with my dad, and he's even worse, because sometimes he just cuts you off and not even listen. Through the Go reflections, I think we've done a lot of good work on it, but still not enough, so yeah, I think all we have to do is really listen to each other instead of thinking on our own what the other person's trying to say.

My usual blog: So, today I'm sure there's something cool that's happened, but I just don't know what!! I feel like I'm so tired I can barely think, which is not good, because I still have to download Google Sketchup and work on my poems!! Which reminds me, I still have to write two other poems, and don't even ask why! Also, I'm very crossed about how I'm going to print my poetry book. If I printed like a book and just staple it, then all the prettyness is going to have to come out of my drawing, and I'm not good at drawing, and take forever, and I don't have that time. My other option is to paste it onto construction paper, which I don't have!! And, I have to change my title of the book, I thought of a really good one yesterday, but I've already got one, so I have to paste paper onto the current title, which could actually look good, or is a total disaster. Life is really hard!!

Percy Jackson is awesome!! Today at Math, after we were finished everything, Jamie and I got talking about the series, and she gave me so much spoilers, which is good, actually, because I love spoilers!! I love Percy Jackson, and I want to see the movie again, it was sooooo good!!!!!!!!!!

Quote of the day:
"I am a man, and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone woman and bring me something brown"
"Brown?"
"Brown is a manly colour. In fact look-Alec is wearing it."
"...It was black. But then it faded"
"You could always dress it up with a sequined headband!...Just a thought"
"Resist the urge Alec. You'll look like olivia newton john in XANADU"
"...Not always a bad thing."
The Mortal Instruments, Cassandra Clare

I love Percy Jackson, but nothing can be better than the Mortal Instruments, sorry.
