"Skinny Biotch" Diet Program

Last year I got really interested in my health and tried to start eating foods that were better for me. I felt by cutting out unhealthy foods, it was good for my waist line but it also gave me more energy and made me feel a lot better mentally. A couple months into my new way of eating I started reading this book that my mom had called The Skinny Bitch. It is basically a book saying the only way to be skinny and healthy was to go Vegan. A vegan is a diet that doesn't allow you to eat anything that comes from an animal. It is a way more extreme diet than a vegetarian because you can't even eat dairy products when you are vegan.

Right after reading this book I was disgusted with all the things that they do to animals just so some one can enjoy a glass of milk or a cheeseburger. Right then I said that I was going to go vegan. It seemed like it would be so easy because the book gives you options on what you should eat, but when you live in a small town with no Good Food Store, there isn't a big variety of foods to choose form. Being vegan for me probably lasted about five hours. I felt like as soon as I told my self I couldn't eat something I craved it even more. Later that day I broke my diet and went and got a pork chop with ham, egg, and cheese. I think being a vegan can be fulfilling for some people but I think you should be able to eat what you want when you want it, as long as it is in proportion.

Bullet in the Brain!

I thought that Bullet in the Brain was a sad story. Throughout the story I thought that Anders was very rude and cynical. But when you hear about all the things that he didn't even think of before he died it made me feel really sad and sorry for him. Right when the robbers came in to the bank he didn't even seem phased by how his actions of being so arrogant could affect the other people in the bank. Anders could have lived if he would have just kept quite but instead he had to run his mouth and in the end it got him killed. I think it is sad how much it seemed like he didn't care if he lived or not. He had a daughter to live for and think of, and he also had people in his life that he cared about but was too selfish to remember them before he died. I did feel bad for him though because I feel like his life didn't go exactly how he might have wanted it to turn out and that is easy for anyone to relate to.

10 Again

It is 11:10 on Monday morning and I am sitting in Mrs. Brozovich's class. I cannot keep my eyes off the clock because we are five minutes away from going to lunch then out to recess, the best parts of the day. Right when the clock hits 11:15 I run out the class room dorm with my two best friends Jordan and Kaila. All three of us are eating hot lunch today because it is the pizza and the pizza is the best! Right when the mean lunch lady with the hair net hands us our food we run to the fifth grade table, where all of our friends from the other class sit. While we eat we talk about what we should play during recess that day. I suggest playing hop scotch, Jordan wants to go watch the boys play football like always, and Kaila thinks we should go on the swings. My other friend Katrina who is in another class thinks we should play in the tube slide, and we all agree that would be fun.

As we are leaving the cafeteria Jordan yells "last one there is a rotten egg" so we all ran as fast as we could there. Jordan is the first one that gets to the tube slide, then I got there right after here, Katrina was next, and Kaila got there last. Since Kaila got there last we make her go down the slide first and stay there so we can all pile in and go down together. Out of the corner of my eye I see the recess monitor walking towards us, she is always getting mad at us for something. As she is coming closer we all try to fool her by hiding in the slide. Then we all here her yelling, "You girls, how many times do I have to tell you? No sitting in the slide." Katrina starts laughing so we all slide down. She is standing there waiting for us with a mean look on her face. Then she says, "Your all on the wall for the rest of recess." Kaila looks at her, "NOT THE WALL!" The wall is where you have to stand if you get in trouble and it is not very fun because we can't talk to our friends when we are on the wall. Right when we get to the wall the recess bell rings. "YES" we all scream. We lucked out today but now we have to go back up to Mrs. Brozovich's class and go to science, I would have rather been stuck on that gross wall.
