Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Right now I am on page 54 of Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. So far I have gotten to know the characters and setting. The main character, Junior, is a smart fourteen year old that was born with fluid on his brain. He lives with his father that is a drunk and mother who was a drunk. His sister is unpredictable, so they call her Mary Run Away. Rowdy is his best friend. He is tough and strong. He is also abused by his parents. Rowdy protects Junior from other bullies.
One day Junior's teacher,Mr. P, goes to Junior's house and explains that he should leave the indian reserve. He says that all hopes and dreams are crushed here. Junior takes that information and decides to go to a school that is smarter and has hope. This school has no indians. Junior goes tell his best friend and Rowdy gets angry. Rowdy sheds a tear and then punches Junior. He has never hit Junior before. Then Junior narrates that his best friend just became his enemy.

Last Week
Last week was crazy busy. Monday I had to work a lot on my social studies outline. The outline took a long time and was difficult. The hardest part was finding a thesis. I worked all night and didn't finish until around one o'clock. The next day I had cheer. I also had a Spanish quiz that day.
On Wednesday, I went home with Sophia because we had tennis. We went shop after school to find a dress for Snowball. That night I didn't get home until nine and then still had to do homework. Thursday was my grandmother's birthday. So after school my family went to her house and and visited. After that I went to my friends house and boiled crawfish. The next day I didn't have much work. After school I went to the movies with my friends. Finally, Saturday I went to Snowball and my friends spent the night after.

The Black Death
The Black death, or Bubonic Plague, is a disease that was in the fourteenth century. It is still around today, but it is not as common. The symptoms are swelling, throwing up blood, and most people die. It was so bad in Europe that about fifty percent died. It affected everything. For example, it affected economics, politics, religion, everyday life, food, population, and trade.
People tried to stop the plague by clearing their sins, home remedies, rituals, fumes, and more. By trying to stop the sickness, quarantine, contagious was understood, and hospitals were created. This help life today. The plague was thought to be the cause of the Dark Ages and Renaissance too.

Last Semester I Learned about Time Managment
Time management is when you do tasks in a timely manner without having to cram. This is important because you can take your time and not get behind. When you use this your work load is a lot lighter and you don't have to stay up late. It helps if you are busy with sports after school because you don't have to get home late and stay up all night to finish homework.
To keep up with my homework, I do my homework in study hall and then look at what I have the rest of the week. If there are things I can do that is due later, I try to do them. For example, I do my blog comments on the days I post my blogs. I will use this to my my semester better, because I have something everyday after school and get home late. By not getting behind and keeping up, I will be able to whatever when I get home.

Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend
This short three weekend break was jam packed. On Friday, I cheered at the girls basketball game. I was fun even though we lost. Then I went with friends to go eat. We had Mexican food that was really good. The next day I went to Orange Beach.
On Saturday I went to Orange Beach with Sophia. We got there and went to the beach immediately. We ran and played in the sand even though it was chilly outside. The next day we were on the beach all day. We tanned, swam, and ate all day. The final day, we went to Waffle House and shopped. We went to many shops and took tons and tons of pictures. We had so much fun and I wish we could have stayed longer!

Research Update
My research has been going quite well. I have found all of my sources and done my annotations. Finding sources has been decent because most of the sources I was looking at were similar. The annotations have been a little bit harder. The hardest part of the annotations were the reflections. It was difficult trying to summarize and say how I was going to use it without repeating myself.
I don't have many question, but I wasn't positive about my formatting. I exported the citations from noodle tools and it looked good. In social studies when we cited the sources where indented, but when i imported they were not indented. Overall I understood all of it or enough to do the assignment.
