Every writer must go through the same thing. A few friends of mine know this process. It's really inconvenient and it causes huge writers block. Most people name is as process of elimination. Or every writers fear: editing.
When I'm in the process of writing a story or just writing for the heck of it, I always must go back to my old work and see what I can do to improve my writing skills. As so, I am doing this for my blog as well.
So far, what I have noticed, everyone seems to enjoy my anecdotes and my opinions. Which is what I was aiming for. Catching peoples attention with my writing gives me more hope and inspiration on writing my stories, that I hope to turn into a novel one day.
Regrettably, I think my lack of knowledge about more interesting topics that tie in with mine, causes people to become bored and my posts to become more and more redundant.Also, my posts are never long, which makes me wonder if my readers truly understand what I'm getting at or if I should add more detail.
In the next six weeks, I really want to touch my readers minds. I want to leave an imprint that makes them see something out in the real world and remind them of my blog. I also want to get the interest of other people around the world and hopefully get some attention. I hope to make this blog more interesting and I hope to become more focused on it. Maybe if I actually placed more time on my blogs, my topics would be much more interesting and much more relevant.
I think to improve my blog, I must research more topics to prospect upon. Spending more time on my thoughts and ideas instead of just halfheartedly type away. Keep my blog updated as much as my Tumblr. Search up different ways and styles to write. Try to tie in more detail that will catch my readers attention. I must form my sentences better and make sure my grammar is correct. Just over all, love this blog as much as my Tumblr blog.

The Daily Life of photography
When my camera is charging up, I always miss some good shots.
I usually take pictures for my school's newspaper, but I have my own camera for my own time (not as great as the school's camera, but editing helps that.) I had to charge my camera on Saturday night for the photoshoot on Sunday. I decided to go out to the movies with my friends. We had an hour before the movie started and we decided to go out to the parking lot of this plaza.
Oh, the many shopping cart races we had. My friends and I decided to make a pyramid. We finally got it but none of us had a camera on us. Just imagine. Three metal heads, one skater looking kid, one dancer and then myself, for those of you who know me, making a human pyramid. It was a beautiful sight.
I now know the importance it is to carry a camera with me all the time.

Not having a voice
It sucks being so passive. Every time I begin a sentence, I'm either cut off or just completely ignored. Not having a say in any subject tends to get annoying. I have to repeat myself a few times just to get my point crossed. I hate how people steal my ideas because they are right next to me and hear me but no one else does.
Stop it guys. Seriously. I hate not being able to speak up. And it's not because of shyness, everyone just knows how to voice their opinion.
I don't know whether to carry around a whistle to get people's attention or just carry around a megaphone. If you hear someone try to get your attention, shut up and let them talk.

Follow up from my last blog.
Hello again!
I just wanted to follow up with my last blog, thanks to all my comments. I wanted to say that yes, there is a bright side to school (e.g friendship and whatnot) but that is not what I was venting about. I was venting on how much it sucks to be stuck in a class room where some teachers can't make the student learn for crap. When the students get bad grades, they get checked for A.D.D or A.D.H.D. Both of those have been way over diagnosed lately. Students with either of those medical conditions have skyrocketed over the past few years. It's ridiculous for adults to not stop and see if the student is okay or if they're just not able to understand what's going on in the class. Just because a student's grade lowered does not mean they have a learning disability or a mental condition. The learning process is different for everyone, and I feel as if the administration doesn't really respect that. The staff in a school isn't the one that I'm ranting about. And yes, I can learn a lot in school, but it's not an easy way. I learn at a different pace than my colleges. I have to both listen, watch, and then explain back to fully understand a subject. Not all teachers get that.
For my last blog, all I was saying is that they should try to tend for every person's need. Even teachers. Having 40-45 students per class, six periods a day (not including lunch) is just not right. It strips the possibilities for everybody. And I fear, if nothing is done, then the generations after us will just get slower and much more slower at learning than what our past has witnessed.

The Daily life of a Student
I truly hate school.
I have to sit through 15 years (maybe, if I go to a four year college,. which I am aiming for!) of school and be nothing but heavily judged. With each passing year I learn something new and I progress and grow into who I need to be. But, we are so heavily judged on what we don’t know, and how we dress, and how we look. Never on our creativity, never on who we are, never on how much we actually know out side of class. I feel like more than half the students can teach a thing or two to the teachers, or even the administration. I’m not sure what I was going with this, but I needed to say it.
