Newspaper

I decided that I was going to free lance write for the Newspaper at school this year, and I was all excited, but then I was writing my article and I realized that no high school kid in the right mind is going to be interested in this! FYI: I'm writting about Obama, and how the decisions in government directly effect each student. Ya, so far, anyone I have asked is bored before I finish describing the article. I feel like I am wasting my time. I wonder if journalists ever feel like they are totally wasting there time?
All I know is that I think the Disney Movies article is awesome! I think it is fun and uplifting and that kids might actually like it, but newspaper doesn't want it because it isn't serious enough. Just in my opinion, I think that you need to write for your audience! I mean why put out a paper that no kid is interested in! Ugh.
Anyway, i will have to put up the Disney piece in a little bit. I love it. But it isn't quite done yet because I thought I wasn't going to ever use it. But at least i can use it on my blog! haha anyway, if I get published in the school newspaper, then I will put the other article on to.

Tired!!! Oh and P.T.C

I am soooo tired!!! I haven't posted in a while sorry, and I really don't have much going on. Ah...O but here's a bit of interesting news, or at least an interesting thought, my mom is going to her first Parent Teacher Conference for a child in high school! They are on thursday, and I'm a bit nervous. Not that she's meeting with them, I mean mom is completely chill. But the teachers she's meeting with are a bit wierd. Don't get me wrong they are the teachers of my 3 favorite classes! But definately wierd. She's meeting 1. Saunders at 4:00 then 2. Schmidt 4:10 3. Lovdokken 4:20. Saunders is my english teacher, Schmidt is my math teacher, and Lovdokken is my Government teacher, and... he's over Newspaper! Which is the coolest class ever. :) So she is meeting with them, and I haven't decided if I should go too or not, but I have been invited. We'll just have to see.
Besides that, I'm making progress on my short novel, and dad is sick. So for once in the Whitmer home we're hanging on the DL (for those un linguistic people, that means DOWN LOW...haha) And as for me...I'm pooped!
