Its hard to believe it's already the fourth quarter of the school year.  It feels like only last week was winter.  I'm now beginning to understand what everyone meant about Louisisana's crazy weather.  One day it's extremely hot and the next its colder enough to frost the grass.  Makes me wonder why I've only experienced such crazy weather in this state.

From what I've read something similar is happening all over the planet.  I'm now becoming aware of this fact thanks to the internet.  Every few or so months something new happens to the weather thats even weirder than the previous occurance. Temperatures are getting crazy in the north and unpredictable weather patterns are occuring more often.  I don't think anyones too sure what this year has in store but it will definilty be interesting.

Reflection

As a student I've somewhat imrpoved overall even if just a little.  Previously I didn't study no matter the occasion, and now it's apart of my daily life.  Another example comes from my newfound determination that wasn't present before.  Other things have changed as well such as how late I usually stay up.  All of these contribute to my imrpovement academically.

As a reader and a writer in my opinion I've gotten better.  I've learned new terms for identifying and classifying types of writing.  In the past three quarters I've also been taught how to and the meaning behind the annotation of what I've been reading. All of the things I've learned this year will help me to better prepare for passing into the next grade.  These skills may even help me later in everyday life depending on where I end up.

Over Mardi gras break I've done very little besides sitting on my couch.  I've so far only gone out to the powerlifting meet which was last Saturday.  I will admit it was pretty nerve wracking to wait for my turn to lift.  Considering the fact that the crowd was huge this time in comparison to last time.  So to keep from letting the stress get to me I'd constantly step outside and sit in the sun.

At first I'd sit outside the front against the wall but after exploring the school for a while I fond a bench perfectly positioned under the sun away from the main gym.  Sfter finding this bench I decided to lay on it and rest my nerves, and as a result I fell asleep.  It was probably the best sleep I had that day because of the fact that I stayed up pretty late.  Once the sun started to cool down I somehow woke up and panicked thinking I was late.  Upon arriving in the gym I realized I wasn't late to my relief.

Analyzation

The song I chose to analyze was "Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z.  I believe the song is written in the form of an lyric because the singer is talking about how she feels towards a person.  The speaker's tone shows that they admire the person the song is written about.  She repetedly uses words that show affection such as baby,  and other such phrases as we shine together.  It can be conluded that the audience is the object of her affection.

The occasion was through a session of rain under an umbrella.  The purpose of the song was to portray Rihanna's feelings towards her affectionate other.  She uses Anaphra's every few few stanza's ,"Under my umbrella ella, ella, eh, eh, eh...".  The subject of  the song is her affectionate other and the umbrella they share.  Throughout the song imagery is used to describe the situations they share together.  Laslty every two lines there's a couplet in the song.
