Semester reflection



       This semester I have learned multiple things. The first of those is that you have to get a lot of sleep every night. You feel so much better in the morning so you can get to school on time. It also helps you to pay attention in class more and remember assignments which leads to better grades.

       The second thing that I learned is that you have to check the calendar every night even when you are 99% sure that there is nothing you don't know about assignments. That brought my grade down a ton especially in Spanish. I lost many points in classes and that will not be happening during the second semester.

     The most important thing that I have learned in the first semester is that time management is very important. Teachers in high school do not need to monitor everything you do to make sure you are on task. If you do not manage your time in class then you have more homework and you have no one to blame but yourself. Those are the most important things that I have learned.

    Great post Tucker! I agree with your second paragraph because sometimes I wouldn't check even after I finished my homework and I would miss something.

        Thanksgiving break can be so annoying. We have so much homework and it stresses me out the entire break. I wish we could have a whole break with no homework. But I guess that is just too much to ask for. I get that we need to keep our minds refreshed sometimes but we get so much homework it does so much more than that.        Thanksgiving is also just not my favorite holiday in general. We have to all just sit together and eat and it is so boring. Thursday was definitely my least favorite day of the break. It isn't my moms favorite holiday because eating food we don't especially like isnt our favorite pastime. So this holiday gets on my nerves.

Vocabulary free post

     The past few basketball seasons for LSU have been pitiful. That is why I was so excited when Will Wade was hired for the head coaching job. This makes me feel like it is inevitable that we will soon be good. Maybe in two years maybe in 5. Ben and I would go to the LSU basketball games even when we were bad such as last year. Now that we have landed some great recruits, it is time to muse the possibilities of us being a championship team in the near future.      I am looking forward to this basketball season alot more now as we are going to be a lot better. The first game is this Friday and we can't wait. I especially can't wait for the SEC opener against Kentucky which is always really hype and fun. I can't wait for this season as a whole.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have ver...
