Sking with friends
On Saturday my friend Chris and Jeff went up to go ski. We ask my friend Jeff on how good of a skier he is he said he wasn't bad. We believed him when we got on the mountain we brought him in some kind of tree line when going down he fell back words and starts going down screaming and we all where laughing hysterically. After a few more runs he got the hang of it and held with us. The only thing I would like to see him do better is going straight in the heavy powder but that's it. Also there was a small cliff with lots of branches and rocks s I told my friends no otherwise we would scratch up our skis and snow boards. When trekking up my friend Jeff fell and almost went over the slope. After the whole day we went sledding, that was one of the funniest thing i have done yet on a mountain.

Stop Frame Animation
Patrick Parnell
American Studies
This project has tought me how to use a camera better and how a Stop Frame works and what it is.
The most fun of the project was the part when you would take pictures. Because you would feel like you would be almost done with the project. Also you would appreciate your work more after you made it and took the picture. Therefore another fun thing was seeing your animation come alive in the camera. I think it was almost looking real and it was funny seeing them moving all at one time. The camera was even fun working with because it was hard keeping the camera steady. When surfing through the pictures on the camera it was cool looking at the mess up pictures, it would be funny looking at it cause there would be a huge hand about to crush the little clay figures.
The most difficult part was staying on task because all your friends would be talking and you would want to be with them. So you wouldn’t get anything done and you would be held back. Also you got clay around and stead of making clay figures you would just play with it. Also they are great throwing objects so I would throw it at people. The things we would have to put together was hard but when the clay or something would break you would just want to quit and walk away witch Chris and I did some times. It was also fun by talking to other classes when they came up to work on there project. Also the lie I kept on saying to myself tomorrow I will do the project, that is just lazy.
The most important thing was to stay on task. What I mean is that I and Chris needed to not talk to different people. Also not play games with different people and waste time. Also not to quit in the middle of what your doing and just keep going. You also shouldn’t do it half way and quit in the middle. I also think you should make a good scenery and clay figures to use and get a good grade on it. Also ask people for help cause they will help so you can be successful.
My main thing is to Stay on Task 100% always or else you probably get a pretty bad grade. Also you should be responsible on your work and make good clay figures.

The Game
We played againt this football team named Chimukum, they were good, any ways the first time they touched the ball they got a touchdown. Wow, this is going to be a hard team to play. Every play they did was executed perfect and ours were'nt also they were ready for us and we were all cocky and got our butts kicked. The second play touchdown 13 to 0 we need something right now. They also hit better and our coach wasnt there. Our hopes were drenched in gasoline and litt and were gone. We were shut out and that was the worst thing that has happened to this franchise.
Halloween
Halloween was the best this year total of 14 of my friends came over. We all had a great time for sure when we went tricker treating we did fun stuff like beating on my friend as a joke also scaring random people and just telling jokes to eachother. But the funniest thing was when my friend actually got naked put a hat over his privates and whent up to a house and three other friends didnt have there t-shirts on and standed by him. The really funny part was that the people in the house went to our school as well, good thing they thought it was funny. When the night was almost over and everyone was in the house we played some video games and just messed around.
I think next Haloween I will just have 5 people over.

Mt. PILCHUCK
Today It was A fun and new adventure for me and others. This was a learning expeirince for me about the buety and the geoligy.
We started off hiking up the mountain to see the watching tower for fires the hike was hard it made your cafs burn and shoulders ache but when I got up there it was so beautiful and fun. I climbed up boulders went under them and I learned about them. I also had much more of an understanding of mother nature that its can be ruined from polution and the buety would be lost forever. Going down was an expense beacause it was my birthday and I wanted the pain to go away. Also I wanted to stay forever the air was so nice and the nature was beautiful.

Whashington Coast Hike
The first day of this trip was horrible we could'nt get on this ferry due to heavy fog after waiting there hoping the ferry would open it didn't. Soon we left and got onto a different ferry. After off the ferry we had a long drive ahead.
When we got there it was already dawn and getting darker so we hiked off into the dark with our lights leading us. After a couple miles we started to get into some nasty wet rocks and water puddles varrying in different sizes. Every body was getting hurt my freind fell hard on his side another friend cut himself and so did many others. Also we got very wet a person accidently got waist high in water. At last we where there we ate and all of us fell a sleep.
On the second day our teacher woke us all up and of we went tired wet and curious. Once again we hit all these wet slippery rocks and we also had some big dry rocks we had to climb over. We also saw some eagles we even saw dead animals, it really shows the coast is a harsh world to live at. Once we got there we hade lots of fun we and many others went swimming it was a really stupid idea but it was a memory that will last. It was also fun to sit by a campfire and talk about the day.
The third day was not as bad it was a little over casty but that was it the only bad thing was that the rocks were very slippery again and after that it was al ong stretch of medium sized rocks that made your feet sink in. We took a break and there was a huge marina were we scavenged for oysters and clams we got a couple and that was it. When we got to the camp site we had to climb up a very steep hill wich was very scary. Once we built a fire we started cooking the oysters and clams, yum, they were good. After that I happened to notice the waves were big enough to ride and so I gathered some people to go with me. But all ussuden it started to rain. But that didnt stop us it was so cold when we got out we put our feet in the fire and still didnt feel any thing. At night trying to sleep the rain cept coming even harder.Its our fourth day and its still raining all my stuff was wet and freezing all well we started hiking and suddenly the hike turned out to be very horid and very nice we saw a living seal on the beach and a dead one. Also it was rainy and windy, we only had to walk on sand 75% of the time. Once we got there the rain had stopped and the sun had come up. We were all dancing and yelling thank God! We Set up camp gatherd some wood and all we did was dry out our stuff and try to hit seaguls with rocks. At night we had found racoons and had some fun with them. In the morning it was over we all took this old wooden board walk to the ranger station when we got there we all were happy.
This trip had tought me that you must be prepared and mentally ready for what happens and it shows me what im capbable of doing
