I have a very busy day to some people, but to others I have a schedule that they would dream of. My day consist of me waking up at 6:00 A.M and then getting dressed and ready for school and then I go to school. That is the easiest part of my day. Then school ends and I have Baseball practice. I practice a variety of things on different days. Some days I catch and some days I pitch. There are even the days were I do both. After various combinations of catching and pitching, I must go condition. This is usually something like running the bases a few times or running a mile. Then I get to go home.
You might think that my day is pretty much over, but that would be incorrect. I then get home at about 6:30 P.M and must do my home work. My homework load stretches from around 2 minutes to 2 hours. I usually cannot plan for homework on the weekends because I do not know half of my homework for the week. It is really frustrating. After I finish my homework, I eat dinner play some video games and then go to bed to do the same exact thing the next day.

ATDPTI Response
I must say, I am really liking this book. It is funny, but yet sad at the same time. The book has taken a turn for the worst when Junior is going to a new school and his best friend Rowdy hates him after he makes the announcement. Junior wants to do something better with his life and is trying to accomplish that by moving schools. I find this a very interesting concept to the book. I like it a lot, but the idea of hope is a very strong idea and could make a very powerful story.
I suspect Junior's Geometry teacher might pop up in the book a few more times. He is the person with wisdom that some books have. I like Mr. P because he is very funny in a way. It is almost like someone is controlling him. He acts very nice to Junior even though he hit Mr. P with his 30 year old geometry textbook. Mr. P just forgives him and tells Junior that he has hope and he needs to do something with it. I am really hopeful for the rest of this book and I am itching to read more!

Importance of my Research
My research topic is a good one for me because it is the one I am interested in. My question that I am researching around is, What was the Quality of Life in Nazi Germany? This question is very interesting because when people thing about the Nazis they think about how they killed the Jews. The truth is that they killed many other groups and treated certain groups terribly.
This is significant because I want people to focus on all the bad things the Nazis did to their peoples and not just the Jews. One of my pieces of evidence is from the story of a Jewish woman named Isabella Leitner. She was rounded up and put into the concentration camp known as Auschwitz. She describes many of Jews, including herself, being deported and were almost bound for certain death. Another piece of evidence is a picture of some Polish children at Auschwitz. These children were not Jewish. The Nazis were also treating the Polish people the same way. This just a few of my findings that can shed some light on the whole story and not just the headline.

Learning Last Semester
I had a great time last semester. I found out what High School is like and also how to cope with some of the stresses of it. I learned that High School is not that the material is harder than 8th grade, but that it is the quantity of work that High School teachers dish out. My least work in high school so far is Social Studies. We have the occasional readings, but they do not take too long.
The way I am going to use this information is that I need to understand that High School is just more work. I think once I wrap my head around it then it will be much easier to complete and handle. I also am going to make this semester better by spacing my workload more evenly. This way I do not have tons of homework on one day and none on the next. This is the best solution I can come up with from my 1st semester experience in High School.

Winter Break
I had a great break for the holidays. I played video games and I played baseball. The best part of my break was Christmas. It is not why you might think. I like it because I got to see family. The presents were just extra. There was a a lot happening on Christmas day. I woke up and opened gifts from the immediate family. Then I went to my grandmother's house and did Christmas with my dad's side of the family. We had so much fun an I got to see my cousins that are in collage.
The next day I went to Vacherie. This is where my mom's side of the family resides. They are also really fun to be around. I got to see my 4 cousins and my only 2nd cousin. We opened gifts and we played the yearly game. This "yearly game" is something that my grandfather comes up with. It is different every year and your have to do so crazy stuff for a cash prize. This year we had to hold a candy cane in our mouth and pick other candy canes out of a bowl with the candy cane that was in our mouth. This was fun to participate in, but it was even more fun to see my family do this. We all looked like a bunch of fish out of water.

Research Update
My research is going pretty good. I have just finished my annotated bibliography. I feel like I have just enough information to make the paper work. I might collect some more over the process. I think the notecards are a good idea. I can have all my information organized into one place so when I write my paper then it will be ready to go.
I feel like I might need help with getting my topics together. I have 2 solid topics, but I think I need about 3 or 4. I think this will just take some time to come up with some interesting topics to fit with my research question. I do think that I will have a good first research paper experience. I hope that everything goes smoothly from here on out.
