The Big Bad Exam

 Today I have to take my computer exam. I'm thus required to write a thoughtful and beautifully composed post on my blog. So here it goes.......


Hi.

Sounds A+ to me.

Spirit Week At School

Once a year, our school, (every school ) hosts a week long celebration of itself in the interest off relaxing students before exam week and convincing the student body that contrary to popular belief, school isn't a complete waste of time. As cynical as it sounds, it apparently works. The rest of the student body seemed to enjoy it, and as for me, myself, and I, it was bearable, although the whole thing seemed to have the opposite affect on yours truly: there are few things more stressful than trying to invent some clever costume, paint a giant class banner (almost) single-handedly, and avoid talking to all girls for a whole day, while trying to pass Honors Chemistry. On a brighter note, the week had some truly Briarwood moments to be proud of. There is nothing quite like walking into school one morning and finding two dozen teenage girls all dressed as that ginger chick from Frozen, especially when none of the said two dozen girls are gingers anyway. I guess I'm not one to judge; I personally dressed as myself for Disney day. How's that for school spirit. Fortunately, there is still some originality left in this world. Whoever dressed as Jack The Pumpkin King, from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas", props to you for not dressing as yet another princess. That would have been a bit much.


Awesome game played by the Briarwood Varsity Bucs that Friday.









Special congratulations to Kacie Kersey, 2014 Homecoming Queen.

Activity Five: your dream vacation. This is the easiest one yet. Hands down, Iceland. The country is beautiful, not in a oh-isn't-that-pretty kind of way, but in a jaw-dropping-breath-taking-tears-in-your-eyes-while-you-take-five hundred photos-of the-same-rock kind of way. Its culture is unlike any other on earth, as is its climate, landscape and cuisine. And if anyone was wondering, I liked Iceland before anyone else even knew what is was.
I guess its time for activity four of my computer class final : make a critique and review for a book, song, or artwork. I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, considering the few songs I do listen to would probably not be deemed school appropriate, namely because they don't happen to be Zack Browns "Chicken Fried" or One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful". I'm not a very musical person, but there are some things I can't even pretend to like. So I guess I'm picking a movie.
Chariots Of Fire is an incredible sports movie and a iconic film besides. It is still deemed by many to have the greatest soundtrack in Hollywood history. The movie takes place in England, 1924, at the first Olympics in almost ten years, on account of the First World War. The story follows three runners from very different backrounds, who all overcome personal prejudices between each other, and unite to represent their country and win the gold. It a great movie for anyone, sports fans or not, and I highly recommend seeing it.
