Mr. Coyle....... I'm gonna KILL you someday! Do you know how much work you made us do today!, it was terrible! I think we should have done Dana cute dogish- cow thing, it was with marker so it would be much faster to color! I think yesterdays factory was much more relaxed because we each had ouyr own thing to do, but now with everybody yelling at you, you kind of get frustrated and you want to tell them to do there own work and maybe it'll go much faster.
Although we didn't do any copies but we could tell that they were all one thing that is tried to be copied acouple of times.

Feedback on how I learn..
Wellll….. Most of the time I learn really well by watching what I have to learn so it attracts my attention and allows me to focus on my own speed. Sometimes I’m really tired of watching something so I enjoy reading on my own from time to time, I like reading because it gives me information I don’t know especially when I learn. Also I really like how I can imagine in my own mine without any interruptions, but beware! I can never concentrate when someone else is reading out loud to me I just get lost! For Example, when you read a page from the outsiders I
knew what was going to happen, and I was listening but I still can’t translate the information to my mind. I don’t really like working in large groups, like nothing more than two people in a group including me, because I know that I can’t just let the other person do everything alone! But sometimes my mind just wanders of to some other land over the ocean when I’m working with more people, and then my group is still talking and they ask me what I think and I have no idea what they talking!

New Yorker, New Yorker !
Barom! Barom! Barom! Barom! was all I could hear, with my sister Uroosa besides me on the very last seat of the coaster! We were about to ride on the scariest coaster in Vegas! Oh boy! It sure felt scary, as we climbed up the rail, I started to wonder how long we had been going up for it kept going on and on, and on. I wanted to see how high up we were, but as I went to peer, two security tags pulled me back, one over by my neck and the other on my chest. Suddenly the coaster came to a halt, " Ah! this would be the perfect time to look back" and as soon as I did, the coaster zoomed higher at 200 km/hour. I could feel my stomach turn and unlike most people I just began to laugh. The coaster rushed faster than a cheetah to the earth; it didn't even stop when it landed, but went straight back up again, I wasn't used to such opposites, but it scared me the most when I saw the three consequetuve turns. The first time my coins fell off, the second was when my favourite ring fell off, and last but not least, my glasses slipped straight off of my eyes. When we were done I came out with a sparined neck and a terrible headache! Oh I knew it would hurt.

'Necessity is the Mother of Invention'
Necessity is the mother of inventions, it means you make inventions of new objects that take time to progress and hence you make new inventions to speed the progression so it doesn't talk as much time. Necessity is the mother of inventions. If you need something you should try to intent it. For Example, Orville and Wilbur created the aeroplane with just a box and a string, before the aeroplanes, there was no way to reach from one side of the world to the other in less than a day.If the aeroplanes weren't there, there would only be ships and that's to carry goods.Also the telephone, you wouldn't be able to contact people when in time for an emergency. Without the telephone there wouldn't be any sense of communication, and the telephone moved on to email or internet. But most of all there's electricity, electricity gave light to life at night, gave wind to summer indoor.

My Buddies
Since I used to live in Dubai for a majority of my life, I would think that most of my buddies would live in Dubai. My best friends there are Bhavi, a tall sort of fat but still fun girl born in England and lived her whole life in Dubai like me.She was funniest when I was funniest and sad when I was sad, we weren't that close but we had a lot in common.Being around Annabel was a bom!, I could always think I was closer to Annabel than what I was to Bhavi.Annabel was just fun to talk to, and I think she thought me fun too. She had long brown curly hair with the prettiest face in the world. When we went to 5th grade, we were moved into Ms. Jeffery's class, there we found a girl named Kylie was sweet to let us enter her gang. She was the leader and beside her was Kianna.Kylie was a round gymnast who could do anything you asked for. Kianna was even more prettier than Annabel, which I guess got Annabel jealous. Behind them was Veronica and Cortney, Veronica was a tall swimmer and Courtney was a short runner. Since then I felt that I was in heaven.....until I came here!
