Swine Flu

I don't think that the Swine Flue is a really big deal. A lot of people die of regular flu as well, and it's not like we don't have a cure for it. I think it's ridiculous that they canceled all of the sporting events and stuff.

Teacher

The teacher that had the biggest influence on my life would probably be Mrs. Davis, the elementary counselor. In 4th grade (don't ask me why) but I would get so scared that my mom wouldn't pick me up from school. One day my mom was running late and she was about 20 min late and from then on for a few weeks I thought she was going to forget me. Mrs. Davis saw me sad one day waiting for her, so she came and asked me what was wrong. I told her and she told me I could come to her room every day after school and sit with her and wait. She made a big impact on my life then and now. I talk to her all the time and remind her about that time of sissiness in my life.

Poem

Twelve years and almost over
I can still remember playing red rover
One chapter over and another one starting
With all my friends I will be parting
I will go off and have to make more
It's only something I have done before
My senior year has been fun and fast
I have made a lot of memories that will last
Summer is almost here and I will be done
That's really when I will start having fun
I like Childress and it has been good
I will never ever forget my hood

Human Interest Story

A 107-year-old Chinese woman who was afraid to marry when she was young has decided to look for her first husband and hopes to find a fellow centenarian so they will have something to talk about, a Chinese paper reported.

Wang Guiying is worried she is becoming a burden to her aging nieces and nephews since breaking her leg when she was 102 and had to stop doing chores like washing her clothes.

"I'm already 107 and I still haven't got married," the Chongqing Commercial Times quoted her saying. "What will happen if I don't hurry up and find a husband?"

Born in southern Guizhou province the child of a salt merchant, Wang grew up watching her uncles and other men scold and beat their wives and often found her aunt crying in the woodshed after an attack, the paper said.

"All the married people around there lived like that. Getting married was too frightening," she said of an era when Chinese women had few rights and low social standing.

Many also had their feet bound in an excruciating process aimed at making them look more dainty and marriageable.

After Wang's father, mother and older sister died, she still shied away from marriage. Instead she moved to the countryside and survived as a farmer until she was 74 years old and no longer strong enough to work in the fields, the report said.

Her nephew in the booming city of Chongqing then took Wang in, but she is worried he and her other nephews and nieces are too old to take care of her now even the youngest is 60.

"My nephews and nieces are getting older and their children are already tied up with their own families and I am becoming more and more of a burden," she said.

Local officials have said they are happy to help Wang search for a 100-year old groom, and suggested her family get in touch with old people's homes to find candidates, the paper said.

Dog Story

I woke up good today. One of the stupid little kids didn't even mind me sleeping and just jumped on me and started frantically petting me. When she went to school I payed her back by peeing on all her barbies. I got a good breakfast this morning. Alice (the mom) fixed way too much eggs and bacon so she gave a lot of it to me. They also bought me a brand new toy!!!!!!! It was a brand new tennis ball! I played with that thing forever. I took a long nap only to be woke up by the stupid girl again. She thinks I always want to be petted but to tell you the truth I don't really like it at all. There was this really hot cocker spaniel that walked by today. I couldn't stop staring at her so I let her in the gate and we played with my new tennis ball until we were so tired. For supper I just ate some dog food, but the family had t-bones so I had a super big bone to chew on :) well I am really tired and I need to get as much sleep as I can before that dang little girl comes in here in the morning and wakes me up.

Room 101

My Room 101 would probably consist of a lot of snakes and spiders because nothing scares me more than snakes and spiders. If I could I would kill every snake and spider in the world. I would also kill mosquitoes because they have no use in this world except to make people miserable scratching themselves all day.
