Project Proposal with Rubric out of 100 points: I am going to make a complete "scrap book" full of thoughts and ideas I have during my days. I am going to have two or more pages of journal writing, and every so often, I will have created a few poems. Over the weekends, I will have synopsis of how it went.
Due at the End of Class on 4/22: Get proposal and due dates done. :)
- Done.

5:09pm I am stuck in a place I'm really starting to hate. My Aunt doesn't want me here anymore - I can feel it. I called my Dad to ask if I could go to Yanni's, he said yes. I left a note for my Aunt, thinking she would be home after I left, telling her where I was. Well, I was on the phone with my Dad again, and she started freaking out. "I'm the Gaurdian! He's not! We don't make plans last minute, either!" Whatever. I'm not going to bother anymore. I'm not going to speak in this house, I'm not going to eat from this house, and I won't look at anyone in this house. Why is my Dad living here if I can't listen to him? My Aunt doesn't like the fact that she can't brainwash me. I won't ask for anything from anyone. It's like my Dad isn't even my Dad. It's like he's just another kid in this house. It's all about control, and when the king loses the power, we're beheaded. She yells at my Dad like he's five; it's ridiculous. I get yelled at for not doing anything, but when I go and do something, it's a problem.

10:24pm My weekend was okay besides the fact that I've had my phone taken since 4/22/09. All I've been doing is been trying to get back on my Aunt's good side and get it back. Friday I pulled weeds and mulched everything. Did that get appreciation? Nope. Saturday I mulched again, and then went to my little cousins lacrosse game. Recognition? Not even close. Today, Sunday, I had nothing to do. My little cousin Jonathan had Irish Skirmish, a bunch of lacrosse games back to back. 3pm, 5pm, and 6pm. Nicole, my older cousin, went to the beach all day with her friends. My Aunt and Jonathan, my younger cousin, left around 1:30pm. My Uncle came home and was back to his usual self; complaining about everything. Then he left to go to the games. My Dad and I pretty much hung out all day. We went to Wal*Mart and got some stuff, and it was okay. I talked to my ex girlfriend for the first time since I was locked up. I miss her, and I hope I see her soon.

5:22pm So, I've been trying to continue to get my phone back. I asked my Dad, he said he has no control of it. My Aunt just doesn't get it. I guess I might as well never hope for it back. Whatever. I have early dismissal on Wednesday. Kayci, my exgirlfriend, goes to Central Bucks South Highschool, and they don't - so her mom is going to pull her out of school early so I can spend majority of the day with her. I'm excited; extremely excited. This weekend I'm going to basically spend it all with her. I actually told my Dad that I'm bisexual, too. Not many people know, but I am... and I'm proud of it. My Dad doesn't really care, so I'm glad. God forbid if my Aunt or anyone else finds out. All hell would break loose. Kayci's calling the house phone, so I'm gonna end this.
Due at the End of Class on 4/29: 4/28/09
9:25pm So, once again, I have to write for the independent project. Yayyy! So, today was kind of boring. Nothing was really too exciting. I miss my cat Goose. He was the best kitty ever. He was kinda like a dog. He'd come when his name was called, and I remember he'd run up and down the sidewalks at our place in Chalfont. I remember when he climbed a tree and he wouldn't come down, so I went up to get him, and as soon as I came up, he jumped down. I remember when my mom had to beat him with a broom because he had a bird in his mouth, behind the TV, and he wouldn't let it go. That was so funny, but so sad. I also remember when he refused to pee in his litter box, and instead used my mom's laundry basket. Her and I were watching a youtube video and all we heard was him pawing at the basket. Next thing you know, my mom went after him and he ran like a bat outta hell. I miss him, a lot. When I'd get yelled at, he'd sit by my mom's feet and meow at her. When she'd hit me, he'd sit in my lap and lick the tears off my face. He was more than just a cat, he was my brother; my best friend; my guardian angel.

It's my friend Randy's birthday on Tuesday. I'm not exactly sure of what to get him. This weekend better be a good one. I'm supposed to see Kayci again. :) Yay! I saw her yesterday. We had so much fun. I can't wait 'til this weekend! So excited. There's not a whole lot to say except I really enjoyed this project. I thought it was fun and easy to express my feelings. Thanks, Ms. Rachwal!

Presentations/Celebration will occur on Friday, May 1.
Final Comments/Self-Evaluation:
I think I did a decent job considering how lazy I am. I took time to write, just like I do everynight, and I edited some word-choice due to the fact that I wanted it to be school appropriate. I liked this project and I hope I get a decent grade on it. :)
