My Second Post

I sure hope that this can live up to the wild standards that were set by my first post. Right, so it's about 4 AM or so and my crippling insomnia means that I have nothing to do when I remembered that I'm supposed to have a blog post by Sunday. Hope it's not too late. So...not sure what to post. What have I been doing lately? Going...to..school...yeah. Oh, I'm taking a rock climbing class! That's pretty cool. Hurts your arms, but its a great workout. Anything else? Mostly just cleaning up the house, sleeping, eating, the usual. I can't really remember what's going on on Monday. Oh wait, I just realized I just had to write another speech for Banned Books! Aaaahh! I'm screwed, I have no idea what to write about. A 'personal informative speech'? WHAT IS THAT?! How can you talk about your own personal experiences and make them informative too? I mean, would you say "Three days ago, my grandfather and I went fishing. My grandfather was born in 1928, in southern Virginia. His first job was working in the coal mines, where he made a modest income. He eventually met his wife, my grandmother Margaret, and moved to Ohio, where he has resided to this day. His story inspired me to never give up and believe in the power or dreams and friendship and love and hard work. The end." I mean, if it were just a personal speech, or an information speech, I'd be fine. But a personal informative speech is just ludicrous. Oh well, I'll figure out something. After all, I am Alanna Bowman, destroyer of worlds and eater of children.

My First Post

This will go down as one of the best moments of 2010. Alanna Bowman's FIRST BLOG POST! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write, so I'm just going to ramble for a little bit. This blog is for Mr. Lunn's English class, for you millions of fans who are not Mr. Lunn that are wondering why I started this. Well, since the person sitting next to me just said that we are supposed to write about ourselves, I'll write about myself. Right now, I'm really tired, hungry, and I'm writing a blog. I like music, cooking, art, and sleeping. I like eating cupcakes, fried rice, chocolate, and children. I like reading for fun, but I haven't been able to read much lately because I've been so busy. I like English classes, but I don't like writing essays because I normally take a forever to do them and end up redoing things over and over, so they become very tedious. I don't mind school overall, I mean, I'd rather be doing other things, but I don't hate it with every fiber of my being. Some classes are better than others. The bell is about to ring, so I'll have to continue this masterpiece of online writing another time.
