I made two mistakes on my lab report. First, I messed up on the procedure. I thought that I was supposed to list all the instructions to performing the experiment, when I was actually just supposed to list the parts that I did. My second mistake was that I forgot to add in my data table. As for using the rubric and guidelines, I would say that I did pretty well on that. I only got one score that wasn't perfect. I do have a better understanding of what I should do better the next time.

What makes a biome unique...
A biome is made unique by the climate and abiotic factors it houses. Not all biomes have the same characteristics and that's what makes each one unique.

My Goals for Freshman Year

I have about five main goals to achieve this year. As for academics, I want to try to get all A's. I usually get a B ever so often in one of my harder classes, so I end up with all A's and a couple B's spread throughout the four nine weeks that divide the grading periods. I also want to develop better study skills. I tend to do well on tests, but I could have better study habits. My social goal includes getting to know those that I consider my acquaintances. My final goals are my spiritual goals. I want to read my bible more this year and set up a good schedule to make that happen. I also want to grow closer to God this year.

I think that the 24 hour peas will germinate the most. I'm thinking that peas can only germinate so much, and they will eventually get to a point where they stop. In the span of 5 days, I think the 48 hour peas will have stopped germinating or the process will have slowed down. I think the 48 hour peas will germinate the fastest, since they're the oldest.

My parents influence me most. They know what's best for me. I try to do what they say most of the time, because I know it's going to turn out better than what I plan.

The Ol' Cookie Jar

This summer I read a book called, The Pearl, by John Steinbeck. I had to annotate the book, which included picking out symbols and themes. I thought the pearl that Kino found in the book was a symbol of temptation. It tempted everyone around it to try and steal it. The pearl also tempted Kino. The cursed pearl tempted him to keep it despite Juana's warnings and the recent bad luck they had run into since it's discovery. The pearl's temptation caused most of the grief and problems in the book. A cookie jar represents the temptation that the pearl has. Little kids are told by their mother's to not spoil their dinner by eating too much, and the cookie jar is always a little tempting.
