My Shopping List

ejodonnell — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:59:10 +0000

1. During this project, I struggled to get all of the items I wanted. I needed to stay under the budget, so I couldn’t get all the items I wanted. I had to get the necessities.

2. It is important because if you go over the budget you have set for yourself, you have to put some of the items back. If you create a sheet with all of the items and their prices, it is easier to shop.

3. After doing this project I have realized how expensive food can be and that I have to spend my money on necessities.

4. I did enjoy this project because it made me more aware of how to spend my money.

Ship Wreck

ejodonnell — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:06:54 +0000

I was on a boat going to Greenland with random people I met in a Burger King. The boat was called the Titanic. As the ship was on its path to Greenland, I became cold all of a sudden. I saw something in the distance. It was an iceburg. The boat driver was not himself and didin’t turn the boat. We ran right into the iceburg. It iceburg didn’t break but the boat unfortunately did. As the boat was sinking, there was choas on the boat. There was only one life boat and it can fit up to 25 people. I was the first person in the boat and wouldn’t let anyone else in the boat. I told everyone that if I was going to be stranded in the middle of the ocean, I was going to need room to sleep and get some exercise. The people were mad and started to curse me out. I laughed and left them there to die.

As I was sleeping in the middle of the boat, I heard a noise from afar. It sounded like a growl from a present- day dinosaur. As I looked around to find the source of the noise, I see bubbles coming out from the water. All of a sudden, Godzilla jumped out of the water and roared. Jet Li also jumped out of the water and landed on my boat. When he turned around, he screamed, “It’s Godzilla!” I threw a rock at Godzilla and Killed him. When he fell , the ocean parted like how Moses did. I then walked to safety. I still don’t know what happened to Jet Li.

College Outlook; Social Studies

Finding a job that pays good is very difficult to find in Tri-State Area. It is even more difficult to find one if you don’t have a high school diploma or a college diploma. Most colleges will not accept you if you didn’t graduate high school. School is very important so you can get a good job. In this day and age, getting a job that pays good, and that you enjoy is vital to for survival.

Lawyers make great money. Every child wants to be a lawyer because of the great payment they receive. They earn every dollar they get payed because they worked for it and they had to go to school for more years to get their degree. If they didn’t graduate high school, they would not have the opportunity to get a good job like that.With the money they get, they will have a great life.

If a person loves children, then they should be a school counselor. It is a good job that gives a good pay. If they enjoy the presence of children, a school counselor is the prefect job for them. They will be happy for helping kids and have money in their pocket.

Being a policeman has a ton of responsibility. You have to rid the community of crime and punish those who commit them. It is a very good job that you do not even have to get a college degree to get. You can apply for a police job right when you graduate high school. It is also a job that you get payed well for. Being a cop is fun and would make you happy.

There are many jobs that you can get that give a good pay, but you have to apply yourself to get through school. It takes hard work and dedication. If you get a good job with good pay, then you will be happy. If you get a job that you enjoy, then you will be happier.

10 Things That Make Me Laugh

ejodonnell — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:31:40 +0000

1) Family Guy- that show is so stupid that it makes me laugh. Nothing on the show makes any sense. It’s really random and that’s why it’s funny.

2) Peoples’ Accents- I laugh at peoples’ accents because they sound funny and pronounce words differently. For example, Mikail Shahjahan (Gandhi) has a funny accent.

3) Casey (Felix) Abramson is just a funny character. He remembers every joke that has been on TV.

4) Mark Novac makes me laugh due to his ginormous head size

5) When people fall down. I just can’t stop laughing.

6) I laugh every time I get yelled at by my parents. As they scream at me, I try to keep a straightface but I just can’t.

7) When other people get yelled at.

8) When Mikail Shahjahan (Gandhi) laughs uncontrolably. His voice gets all squeaky.

9) When midgets try to act all big and tough.

10) Mike Ward trying to act smart. It can get kinda annoying but can be entertaining.

Why I Came to St. Mary

ejodonnell — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:06:05 +0000

The reason I came to St. Mary High School is because it is close to where I live. It doesn’t take me long to get here. The most important reason I came here is because it is cheaper than other Catholic schools. It would be hard to afford to go to other catholic schools. I also came here because it is a small school. I could have went to Clifton High but I would get lost because it is a big school. I didn’t want to go there because I like to live. It is a school that is filled with drugs and bad stuff. They even have their own police force.

Bad Posture

ejodonnell — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:59:53 +0000

I googled “bad posture” and found multiple sites. On these websites I found five points that reinforced Mrs. Fagan’s lecture today. These five points are:

1. Bad posture is most often blamed because your feet are not flat on the ground. Your feet cannot support your body. (Mortonsfoot.com/badposture)

2. The pain that bad posture gives a person ranges from the lower back to frequent headaches. (Mortonsfoot.com/badposture)

3. “Being aware of your posture, straightening your back, lifting your chest, rolling your shoulders back and rotating your pelvis so your stomach and behind are tucked in will help improve your posture.” (Mortonsfoot.com/badposure)

4. Computer use is one of the reasons that people have injuries due to bad posture. (uthscsa.edu/mission/spring95/posture)

5. Sice your feet cannot support your body, your whole body will have an effect due to it. (mortonsfoot.com/badposture)
