Mona Lisa Smile

I think this movie is going to be about how a professor is going to change her students view on life and at the same time they'll change hers too. It will probably be a very moving movie and will motivate people to do something with their life. I think it will be a good movie. The trailer was pretty open so it could go either way.

My thoughts on the different exam levels is that it's gonna be pretty hard but you just have to prepare yourself enough and not slack off. I think the test that we take to get into college and all that is alright. It gives you an opportunity to show that you actually know stuff and that you know stuff. To study for exams and test in college you need to study weeks before so you're fully prepared and don't fail that test because they count a lot in college because there's not so many. Don't slack off and make sure and study using different ways not just one way.

For Christmas break I am going to hang out with a lot of my friends and do some cool stuff. I'll probably play some baseball and drive a lot. I know I'll be celebrating Christmas with my family at my house and on Christmas Eve we're going to my great grandmothers house that's like 3 hours away so it's a really long drive. I will probably get in trouble but why not, I'm a teenager in high school that wants to have fun. I'll play with my presents and toys of course and then go hang out with some friends. Hopefully I don't get grounded so then I cant do anything because that would really suck because I just want to have fun and live life. I think this break will be really fun. I really hope it snows too because I really want to play in the snow this year. Not like last years ice, but actual snow.

When I go to college I hope to get a degree in the field that I want to work in. I hope to make life long friends and experiences that I will never forget. I hope to learn responsibility and how to take care of myself. I am going to college for mostly myself because I don't want to be a adult and not have a stable job and not able to provide for my future family. Also i'm going for my parents too so they can know that they raised me right and feel good about themselves. I think the characteristics that matter the most is what they're known for. If you're just going to that school because it looks fun or sounds cool that is not a good idea. You need to look for a school that will benefit you in every way possible. If they don't have your studies then you should not choose that school. I think I will seek input from from my parents and Coach Thrush. They all seem to know what they're talking about so I think I can benefit from what they tell me. I think that college will help me achieve my goals in life because having a degree will give me a ton of more opportunities for jobs and careers. It makes the person look better if they went to college and finished school. I think college is a good thing, just takes a long time.

When I was looking for job suitable for my expertise I found Buffalo Wild Wings. I thought to myself hmm I might actually like this job because I get to serve people and maybe watch a little t.v. while i'm at it you know what i'm say'n? I think it is very appropriate for the kids my age. It is a job that can teach us to be responsible because you cant slack at a job like this. I would go up to the facility and ask around if the people liked working there and try to make friends with them so when the interview came around they would like me. I would dress nice of course and make the managers jaw drop when I walk in. I would say the difficulty of finding a job online is about a four on a scale of one to ten. I say that because you can easily find a job but it's deciding if it's good for you and if you can handle it. I think I could handle it honestly. I can put up with ignorant people and is good with making people happy.

I thought the movie was good to show this class because it shows that you can do anything you put your mind to if you put in the effort. My favorite part was probably when she was in the private school and was getting her life together and getting straight A's. She didn't let her environment or situation put her down and just settle to just being homeless, she decided she wanted the better things in life.

When I was doing my budget the things that most surprised me was how I forgot that I had to pay for all the simple stuff like food and electricity. Also finding a dorm to stay at was pretty hard. I didn't know what would have been the best place for me so I just randomly chose one honestly. I can prepare for those expenses later by getting a job. It opened my eyes up a lot.
