Intrams

Intramural sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a set geographic area. The term derives from the Latin words intra muros meaning "within walls", and was used to indicate sports matches and contests that took place among teams from "within the walls" of an ancient city (as opposed to a varsity team which competed with teams from other cities and towns. 

    When the date of when our Intrams was announced, a lot of students became really excited. The most awaited sports during the Intrams were Volleyball and Basketball. Third Year (Red Bayern) was CHAMPION in four sporting events: Volleyball Boys, Sack Race Boys and Girls, and Sepak Takraw. 


       I think that Intrams is very useful and we can all benefit from it. It's activities can give us a boost in morale. That boost of morale will lead to a more positive view on school and it will also serve as a motivator for us students. It can also strengthen the bonds that exist between us students and also to teachers.

NCAE

             The purpose of NCAE was to find out what specific course of job would be perfect for us. It is supposed to help us in the future. But the course that will be determined for an individual isn't always the course they eventually take. That is because somepeople might not answer the tests honestly or that individual's likes might change.

        For our NCAE the boys were separated from the girls. The boys were in the two classrooms on the second floor of the Maliksi Building, but we didn't all fit in there so three boys were in one classroom downstairs with the girls. 

        We started the tests at 8:00 AM. We finished around 2:00 PM. Most of the tests were really easy but there were a few exceptions like the test were you had to find out which among the four pictures or shapes stood out. It was hard because some of the differences were really small and hard to see.

        After the NCAE we just continued the Intramurals.

Cookies

They are loved by everyone

except for the lactose-intolerant ones

and people who want to watch the world burn.

People put them in urns.

I have loved cookies

I love cookies

I am loving cookies

I will love cookies forever.

There are different flavors of cookies.

There are chocolate chip

There's blueberry

There is also white chocolate

One thing will never change

Ever since I came into contact with that alluring substance

I have loved it

And thus my love will not falter!

Our Inevitable Fate

             Our Planet Earth could be compared to a very well known but fictional planet. That planet is Krypton. The birthplace of Kal-El or as he is best known as Superman or Clark Kent. The planet of the Kryptonians is very similar to ours because of the cause as to why their planet perished. The cause is US. The very people of Earth are the ones that are dooming this planet. We are following in the footsteps of the Kryptonians and their fate. Except we probably won't have anyone to send to another planet where he will develop superpowers because our technology to date can't even produce clean energy without a horrible side effect let alone have a spacecraft capable of Faster-Than-Light Travel. The ultimate cause for our inevitable fate is not Mother Nature and her natural disasters. The real cause is our stubbornness and arrogance. We are to stubborn to acknowledge the fact that we cannot solve this problem by just using paper products and "eco-friendly oil". Even if we ban the use of plastic and broaden the uses for paper we would still be cutting down more grown trees than we could plant knew ones. Even if we could hope to plant 
the same amount of trees we cut, it would not create that much oxygen and take in that much carbon dioxide because the trees we cut were grown trees and the ones that we would plant are only saplings. It is safe to say that our race will suffer the consequences of our actions and we shall die alongside our planet unless we take drastic measures or we achieve a breakthrough in technology which will give us the means to traverse the vast Sea of Stars which lies beyond our Solar System.

Comic Relief

         For this blog we were asked to alter Romeo and Juliet's ending yet again but the ending would have to be comic relief. For my ending I will change the scene after Romeo kills Paris. After Romeo puts Paris in the coffin Friar Lawrence arrives and explains Juliet's plan. The Friar realizes that he actually loves Romeo and he confesses to Romeo his feelings. Surprisingly Romeo finds it odd but he reluctantly confesses that he feels the same way but he loves Juliet more than he loves the Friar. In anger the Friar tells Romeo to leave the room. Romeo does it out of sympathy. What Romeo doesn't realize is that Lawrence has a plan. The objective of the plan is to make sure that Romeo will forever love him. He plans on doing that by murdering Juliet in her sleep. He picks up Paris' sword and then he plunges it deep in Juliet's chest. He calls Romeo in the room and then once Romeo sees Juliet's horrible fate he breaks down in tears. He asks the Friar to explain what happened. The Friar claims that Paris wasn't exactly dead and that he wanted vengeance on Juliet and he learned that she isn't actually dead so using his last breath he kills her because she broke his heart. After they grieved Lawrence tells Romeo that they should go to Mantua so that they could escape their problems in Verona. Romeo agrees and they flee the crime scene. Once they get to Mantua they start over and then they lived happily ever after.

THE END

Romeo and Juliet

              I honestly didn't expect for Romeo and Juliet to end the way that it did. I expected that it's ending would be on a happy note. The reason I didn't expect that kind of ending was because Romeo and Juliet was a romance story and all romance stories I know end with a "and they lived happily ever after" theme.

              I have decided to alter the stories ending so that it will be, in my opinion, better. First I will change the part where Paris and Romeo will fight. They should just cooperate and mourn Juliet in peace, because they don't know that she is alive, and then no one will have to die. I will also change the scene when Romeo commits suicide. He should not have killed himself, instead he should have gone to Lawrence and ask him why Juliet committed suicide. There he will learn their plan and then the Capulets and the Montague will put aside their egos and pride so that they will all be able to live "Happily ever after".

Family

               A family is very important in an individuals life. They can bring happiness and sadness. They can also inspire a person when they are facing a tough challenge.

               A family doesn't always have to be your relatives or kin. They can just be a person's friends or best friends as long as they share a special bond or brotherhood. A very common example of a family without any kin is with your classmates.

               An ideal family is one where all the members are getting along fine and they don't argue with each other. They also have to help other members who are having a problem. They must also care  for one another.
