Tattoos or Piercings

This week we are supposed to write about one of the short stories from chapter 7. I will be writing about the "On Teenagers and Tattoos" by Andres Martin. My thought about tattoos or piercings are fine. I dont really have anything bad to say about it. I have 4 pierces on my ears. 2 on each ear. I also have a tattoo on left foot. It is just a little star, nothing to great. I do want to get another one :) The one thing I dont like is that gaged ears (the big open circle on the ear lobe). It just looks nasty to me. Having tattoos or piercings doesnt make a person look sloppy. I feel like people feel that if you have tattoos your a bad person. I dont believe that at all. I feel that it makes a person unique.

Family

This week we are supposed to write about family. What makes a functional or dysfunctional family is the question I am supposed to answer. I think that everyones answer to that question will be different. A functional family to me is a family that loves to be around each other and has family dinners. Parents that go to there childrens sport games and helps them with homework. There will be some arguments but no screaming or hitting. A functional family is a family that will drop anything to go help someone else in the family if they need them. If you have a problem, you could go to family members and get help.
A dysfunctional family is a family that cant stand by being by each other. There is no communication and there is only screaming.
The Glass Castle is an amazing book. I absolutly love it! I cant put it down. The family in the story is very dysfunctional in my eyes. I just can not image living the life they do.
I bought a Nook from barnes and noble and I love it!! :)

Stress

This week we were told to write about whatever we want. The only thing that I am thinking of these days is school. I am always so busy with school or homework. It seems like I never get a break. I am taking 16 credits which is a lot. I thought I would be able to keep up with all the work but I am starting to regret it now. We have 11 weeks left of school and I just need to keep going. 11 weeks sounds so far away. Everyone in my family knows how stressed out I am and they keep telling me that one day it will pay off. It feels like that day is so far away. It is so hard trying to keep up with all the homework and tests. I feel drained emotionally and physically. I just need to keep going.
