Journal #6

So this week I wrote a couple pages of the book. I kind of like how it looks and sounds. I started off with a teenager that's 18 years old. He just turned 18 and he is a star runningback for his high school football team. His name is Gerald Stevens (I stated in the book that his friends call him "G"). He has a handful of friends that he hangs out with: Daniel "D-Dub" Donald, Randy King, and Stephen Tristen. Danny is a basketball who has the same hopes as Gerald, except instead of the NFL, he wants to go to the NBA. Randy is a boy who is caught up with smoking weed, doing methane, and snorting cocaine. Surprisingly, he isn't dead yet because he isn't an addict just yet. Last, Stephen is a gang member that usually holds up gang signs when hanging around with Gerald and the rest of their crew. He either is getting shot at, getting jumped, or fighting with other rival gangs. The story takes place in Boston (obviously the dangerous part) and will either lead to every achieving their goals, getting locked up, or worse...

This past week I was on vacation, and I started the composition book thing sort of. What I mean by that is that I created the book cover and started brainstorming a couple ideas about what I would write for the first few pages. So far I am writing about a teenager that's a senior in high school and plays football. But his only problem is the people that he hangs around, who are basically gang members that smoke weed. He is struggling throughout the book trying to find out what will make him successful and how to survive in high school life. This is what the theme of the book is for it so far. Hopefully this weekend I can come up with some actual pages. Maybe I can even start the first few pages.

Journal #3

I am on day 3 of this 20time thing it's getting pretty frustrating but I think I might finally have an idea. I am thinking about creating a book about a young student athlete who grows up around all of the high school troubles (gang problems, girls, grades, friends, bullies, drugs, etc.) who's goal is to make it to college. I am still brainstorming ideas but this is what I have so far. I also need somewhere to write it. I was thinking about just buying a composition book and making a cover out of printer paper over it. Or just make it seem like it's a journal by keeping it the way I bought it. I'm not completely sure yet but this is definitely on the list of possibilities on what I can do

Journal #4

I think that I have my final 20 time project idea. I am going to create a story using a composition book so it could look like the journal of my "main character." This is a very broad description of what I am planning to do, but this is definitely my decision. My time frame is to be by the end of March, if I have that much time. I don't have a mentor because I don't really need one to write a book, but this is what I'll do. Hopefully I can start within the next few days or so.

Journal #2

Today I went to the library to view and give feedback to other students who did projects. They all had good ideas and projects like drawings, arts, and other creative ideas. I still have no idea on what I want to do. I'm considering creating like a football comic strip or just like create something in that area, but I still don't know. I really don't feel like blogging right now, so I'll just leave it at that.

Journal #1

This day 1 of this 20 time project, I still don't even know what I want to do. I honestly don't even understand why we have to use this blogger thing instead of doing presentations the traditional way with Power Points and stuff like that. I want to know what a 20 time project has to do with personal fitness in the first place. I have to type up a whole page of me not knowing what I want to do on Thursdays at each 3rd period. To be completely blunt about it, doing this blogger is making us lazier for our futures and messing up our eyes rather than actually helping us in our futures and staying fit. Think about it, we're all here staring at bright, white screens within 3 feet of the actual screen; while instead of doing this 20 time project, we could be in the gym running, that's what we really need to do because yesterday we took the pacer test and let me say, this class isn't the most fit class to be sitting in front of computers blogging about a 20 time project. But other than this, I think I might be considering building a house or car. This would be a great start if I'm still looking to become a future architect, which I am. I really don't know what I want to do. Instead of complaining, I'm just going to actually sit here and think about what I'm going to do for my 20 time project.
