What would happen if one of your teachers would stop showing up for a month. No Substitute ever came and the classroom was open. Would you report it?
As a matter of fact i wouldn't report it. Who wouldn't like a classroom without a teacher.?! That would be the best month of school ever. I would like the no teacher thing to happen during math class. That class would be fun to have no teacher for. I like the people in that class there fun and funny people. And plus I'm not good at math so it would be good not to have a teacher..............i won't have to suffer. Ive never been good at math and i dnt think i will be any time soon :p.

I dnt have a favorite fast food restaurant but im going to tell about a time i went to McDonald's. I wouldn't consider this story funny, sad, or disgusting i would consider it more ofa creepy story. Well it was a Saturday, a couple of friends and i had planned to go to McDonald's, to sort of celebrate our last day of wimter break. One of our friends and i had walked all the way there to wait for the rest of our friends to get there. while we were there this older guy comes in and sits about a couple of seats from us. Everything was normal until the guy started starring at us in a very creepy way. We could feel him starring at us from far away. About ten minutes passe and then the guy got up to throw his trash away and then he left. The thing that scared me the most was that me and my friend were at a seat by the window. The guy stopped by the window, from the outside, and literal starred at us, for like 20 seconds. I think that is the creepiest thing that has ever happened tome while at McDonald's. Never want to see that guy again.!

Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for? How would your life change?
I think there are both good things and bad things that result to being famous. I would like to be famous because you have the chance to travel the world. For instance i would like to be famous for going around the world to inform people about the dangers of climate change or about keeping our beaches and oceans clean. Thats what i would like to be famous for. The bad things are that if you become too famous it could get to the case were you cant go any were without being chased around by a paparazzi. Thats my own personal opinion on the subject.

What would happen if it really did rain cats and dogs?
I dnt really kno wat would happen if it really rained cats and dogs. I guess i have a lways heard that as a form of saying that theres a really bad rain storm. I think it would be cool to see it raining cats and dogs, similar to the movie of cloudy with a chance of meatballs, were it starts rainig foods of all kinds. Everybody who ever wanted a dog would be able toget one without a doubt hahaha i gues that would be pretty amazing =). also i think there would be the down side to it rainig cats and dogs for example, there would be too many cats and dogs everywere you go. Oh and onemore thing i forgot to iunclude, IM AFRAID OF DOGS.!!!

What would happened if everyone lived in space? What type of houses would they live in? What type of food would they eat? How would they travel?
If every one lived in space it would be so much different. First of all everyone would have to live in specially made houses that prevent then from blowing up in the middle of space. They would have to be specially made to provide the people oxygen due to the fact that there is no oxygen is space. Second of all they would have to wear full covered body clothes. I think people would eat those types of foods that they show in space movies were there all packaged and heated up in a microwave ovens. Were the food is all mushy and looks kinda nasty. I think it would be cool if people traveled in those hovering cool cars that are supposed to be from the future. That's how i would think every thing will be like if we lived in the future.

Tell us about your winter break. 3 weeks 3 paragraphs.!
We had three awsome weeks of winter break. I will admit that i speant about 30% of it asleep, but overall okay. the first day of winter break felt like heaven. No school felt amazing. I slept in without having to wake up early at 6 am to get ready. Well the first week felt good. After that everything seemed to get boring for me. All i did was chores. And more chores. And more chores.
Then the few days before christmas is was time to get a christmas tree. We went out on the search for our perfect tree. We found a beautiful 6 foot tree. Cmae home and decorated it. Soon after that "sant clause" arrived. Everybody was happy :). Then christmas finally came. We got together with the family to celebrate. It was an awsome x-mas, i was surprised to get a 5th generation ipod nano =D. And other people got other stuff too.
Then New Years came. We got together with the family again to, enjoy the count down towards the 2010. It was pretty cool to realize how an entire year had passed by already. Wow. It seemed like the 2009 went to fast for me, but oh well, new year new beginings :D. My resolution for this new year was to improve in school. Hopefully i accomplish that........ The days after that were okay, a little boring. I just couldn't wait to go back to school and have a little fun. Well that was basically my three weeks winter break.
