Free Post- Rihanna Concert

This weekend, I went to the Rihanna concert with Claudia and Laurel Ann. After school on Friday, we drove down to New Orleans and got ready for the concert. We then met up with Katherine Ann, Arden, and Camille at an Italian restaurant. After, we loaded up in the car and left for the concert. When we got to the concert, the opener, A$AP Rocky, was about halfway done performing. When he finished, we sat in our seats and waited for Rihanna. We actually saw Monica and Pierre Thomas while waiting.

When we were about to take a picture with Pierre Thomas, the lights went out and it was time for Rihanna to come on. She opened with a song I did not know very well, "Mother Mary." but after the first four or so songs, my friends and I got really into it. We had so much fun! This was her last stop of her entire world tour, so when she was about to sing her last song, "Diamonds," she got very emotional. When the concert was over, it seemed as if I was the only one with any energy left. I actually had more energy at 1 AM than anytime earlier that day! I was so thankful that I was invited and overall, it was a great night!

My Prompt

My Prompt- What has been your favorite thing about English this year and why?

My favorite part about English this year has been the literacy narrative unit. I loved writing mine and I love writing about personal situations. I also found this to be one of the easier things we have done. I had absolutely no trouble figuring out what to write about and how to write it.

I also liked reading other people's narratives. I found all of them interesting and it helped me get to know the other person a little bit better. All of the narratives I read were really good! Overall, this has been my favorite part of English so far.

Deserted Island Activity

On Thursday, we did the deserted island activity in class. At first, everyone just started yelling and everyone wanted to take control. But by the end, we had it all figured out. In real life, I really do not know how some of the people in my class would have lived with each other for a long time on a deserted island. Our class definitely has a lot of people with big personalities, which would have pluses and minuses.

I think we would have no problem getting set up at first, but as time went on we would get tired of each other. We would be able to get everyone a job and everyone do their own thing that they need to do. We would have trouble when we needed to make really big decisions, I think there would just be too many opinions. Overall, I think we would make it out OK, but we would be tired of each other by the end.

Free Post- Alabama

This weekend, I went to Birmingham, Alabama for the LSU game. I left Baton Rouge at around 8:30 AM on Friday morning. I had packed up all my red clothing (I'm a Bama fan if you did not know...) and was so excited to go. After the 5 and a half hour drive, we had finally reached Birmingham. I was totally in my element as everyone was wearing red Alabama clothes, which I do not see a lot in Louisiana. That night, we went to my favorite restaurant in the world, Chuy's. It is a Mexican restaurant that is just amazing. We finished our dinner and headed back to the hotel to get some rest for the next day.

When I woke up Saturday morning, I was so excited, but I had to wait until 7 to watch my team play. In the morning and some of the afternoon, all we did was shop to kill time. After, we loaded up in our car, with me wearing my red Southern Tide sweatshirt with jeans, my mom wearing black (she says she is neutral, but I know she goes for Alabama, her alma mater.), and my dad wearing purple and gold. When we drove 45 minutes to Tuscaloosa, I was so ready for the game. We walked around and tailgated for about 2 hours. Then, it was time for the game to start. We headed to our seats and I could easily spot my two favorite Alabama players (AJ McCarron and Cooper Bateman). I had a good feeling that Bama was going to win. The game was very stressful for me until the 4th quarter. As Alabama was pulling away with a bigger lead, the stadium was on fire. From the visitors section, I could see the student section erupting. There were chants of "We will, we will rock you" and of course the singing of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Dixieland Delight". When the game ended, everyone went nuts singing Rammer Jammer. It was crazy. Overall, I am so glad I went to see Alabama win and experience Bryant Denny Stadium.
