E-HOW'S:
1) How to soundly improve memory- To improve ypur memory pf somthing it is very simple. It starts by resting your mind and getting a good nights sleep. while sleeping have somone play a recording of the thing that you want to remember and that should et it stuck into your head. Also when sleeping be sure to avoid sleep apnea, where the brain gets little oxygen due to you stop breathing for a while while sleeping. Oxygen helps this memory process, and with this you can learn hpw to remember the things you fogot.
2) How to win a street fight- The first step is to analyze the problem and decided if the person who is angry with you wants a fight. If it is obvious that he intends to harm you, then you have to ask if you copuld win. If you are a small person going after a huge, buff person, your gunna loose, so run away and call for help. If you think you can win it and get out of triuble, then you have to get some nerve and think about how to take this person down. Go for the quick knock out. Try to connect at the point where the jaw bone connects to the side of the head. If you hit them hard enough, they won't be getting back up. If thats successful, you must do the smart thing and get help. No matter what, do not fight when you have the dount that you may loose and get hurt.
3) How to use public restrooms- First you must choose the cleanest stall, and if there isn't one, then leave. After choosing the cleanest stall, use a pape cover thingy for the seat to insure clean hygiene. After the stall, you HAVE to wash your hands. Hot water and soap are reconmended, but if there is no soap then turn the hot water on and scrub hard. When leaving the restroom, do not touch the door handle with your hands. Use a paper towel or wait for someone else to come into the restroom.
4) How to deal with an uninteresting teacher- Getting on the teachers good side is the first strep. Teachers like enthusiastic students, so be active in asking questions and take notes and listen to the teacher. Also do a little bribing. Give your teacher a small gift and some chocolate or somthing; they love that stuff! Overall, be attentive and follow the teachers directions. Don't get upset about the assignments she/he gives, instead ask if you can do some extra work on it. With this, your uninteresting teacher will become fun and learn to give you priviledges.
5) How to live with someone with OCD- First, learn about the disorder that they have. When you let them know that you underdstand what they are going though, they will feel less stressed and on edge about it. Then, do whatever you can to help them ease their minds of the OCD symptoms. When the person goes to therapy, go with them a couple times to see what it is like to deal with it. If they don't go to therapy, then ask them they want to go. In the end, don't let the OCD run your life or the other persons life. Help the and support them in all that they do and let them know your there for them.
6) How to talk to a child who stutters- First off, Talk with the child in an unhurried way and pause frequently.Wait a few seconds after the child finishes speaking before you begin to speak. Let him get it all out, never finish his sentences for him. Never criticize or advise him to slow down. If you speak slowly and don't act so in a hurry, your child will learn to take his time when speaking. Limit the number of questions you ask him. You don't want to confuse him. And lastly, accept that the child is fine just the way they are.
7) How to get ride of roaches- Roaches like the bathrooms and kitchens for some reason, so keep those areas clean. Don't let garbage sit out, for they like to be around the gross stuff like that. Since they like water, make sure to drain all water in bathrooms and kitchens. Spray your house with roach spray to make sure none come back and annoy you anmore.
8) How to tie your shoes- Cross the two shoestring ends over each other once and then loop one end under the other to make the first basic knot. In your right hand hold the right shoelace, with palm down, in your pinky, ring and middle fingers. In your left hand hold the left shoelace, with palms down, in your pinky, ring and middle finger. Position your index fingers and thumbs in gun position. With your right hand place your index finger over the right shoelace and your thumb under the right shoelace. Your hand will be spinning towards you and the string will rest on top of your index finger and thumb. With your left hand spin your thumb away from you over the shoelace and your index finger under the shoelace. Your hand will spin away from you and the string will rest on top of your index finger and thumb. With your right index finger on the bottom and right thumb on top grab the left shoestring between your left finger and thumb. Hook the right string with your left index finger between the right index finger and thumb. Pull strings in opposite directions.
9) How to babysit- know the family and know wht the p[arents would like for you to do with the kids. Make games, schedules, and other activities for them to play with. Avive to the house that you will be watching the kids at a good 10-15 minutes early. This will allow the kids to get situated with you and get comfortable. Do not yell or be rude to the kids, even if they are acting up. IF you must, them ask the parents what the disipline is for their children. Have fun with the kids and be kind.

If I were the newspaper editor for next years paper, I would encourage the new staff to be prepeared. Yes it is very fun and exciting, but it requires alot of hard work and deicaion. Being a part of the NP staff is a privledge, as well as an honor.
During the course of the year, much hard work will be done, along wiht many games, activities, and randomness will be done. In all of the classes that I have taken, I think it is this class that I enjoyed the most. When you enter into this classroom, it is nothing but fun and entergetic. Many talented and ahrd working people have been in this class, and you have the opportunity to express yourself in this class.
If i could be editor, then I probally wouldn't change that much. The previous editors did a pretty amazing job. I enjoyed being in this class and hope to take all the things i learned here to heart and learn thought them.

Over this weekend, I had alot planned out. Friday was my softball game vs. the baseball team, staurday I went to a party, and Sunday I was helping my mom with Logan's last minute prom stuff. Yes, it may not seem so hectic right now, but just wait til I describe all that went on. It gets wayy worse.
So on Friday, the day styarted off normal. School was it's boring self and ceased to be that till the bell rang for dismissel. The weather, if I may say, was shy from pefect...Well it was really really shy from perfect. Kinda a mix between "Omggosh this weather is freaking horrible!" and "It is very himid out here!", which is exactly how it was...VERY HUMID!. I can't remember a day when it wasn't as humid as that day.
Anyway, I went with half of my softball team to subway,where I "lost" my phone. Turned out it was in the car the whole time! But I think someone ghad it but just kept it from me, who knows..because I sure as heck didn't. Well after spending like 20 minutes in the McDonalds bathroom changing for our game, we left for the field. And, like I said, it was humid! uhh it wasn't all that fun, but once we started doing activities like swinging on the rope swing, talking with frieds, and creaming the baseball team (11-6), it made the day pretty amazing. so overall, it was fun..and humid.
Saturday, well, I woke up at 9:00 to get dressed. My friend Brookney and her brohter Brandon were coming to pick me up for her 16th birthday party...which started at 5:00 pm, but she just wanted to hangout before her family came. So I'm just going to skipp to the part where it was me, Brookney, Chelsey Berret, and Brooks cousin Mariana, along with her siblings Sarah, steven, and cousin keely, went to balckwater creek to do some explorin. At first it was fun!. The sun was out and the air was filled with flowers blowing in the breeze, till we decided to go further into the creeks dangerous waters.
We started walking on thewse super slippery rocks, and after seeing one snake a while back, we were hoping we wouldn't see any more. Well, as luck would have it, we saw another one, this time much much smaller, but still very scary. It WAS curlled in a whole in the slippery roks, till steven decided tyo poke it, which made it move into the water, in which we were in! Yeah, scared us hlf to death. So after seeing 2 snmakes, walking 2-3 miles doiwn into the creek was very risky and fearful, but we prayed so we were all good. On the other hand, we didn't pray for God to keep us away from the sharp rocks, so, yes, we were cut up in the feet, smashong into rock by rock; we were pretty much blind! After crossing the deep water we saw another snake, a water mocassin. Anyway, that day was very exciting, and fun! not humid.
My weekend was filled with dangers, upsets, and relaing momments, some of which I didn't even share about. I wish I could just go back and do it all agina, but as we all know that is impossibe. So as for now I will live in the present, or future, whatever is the right word for it. :)bye!

My Year in Journalism!
The year that i spent in Journalism was filled with many, many different emotions and feelings. At first I had no idea what this class was about or what I would be doing, but when I found out that it would be being part of the NP staff, I was excited. I basiclly just thought of it as a way to pass time by and do no work, but I was waayy off. This is probally the only class that I have to write on a story almost every single day hah, but I can say that it did help my writing skills a bit.
Throughout the yer I have experienced soo many weird things that have gone on in journalism. For instance, when we had to do a video project in class that required me to dress up like a nerd. Yeah not my favorite thing ti wear, but it was fun. At least I got out of my uniform for like 10 minutes. Anyways, we did like a ton of videos! All of which we were able to expess our true selves to the class...and it was shocking, in a good way. We also played tons of games like odd man out, in a not, and some other game with a coin,,forgot the name of though.
So the guess speakers we had, mmm well there were many. We pretty much got lectured about anything and everything possible that involves journalism. It was pretty amazing. People from the news stations, colleges (former grads), and siblings from current students came to our class. It was very entertazining and I learned much about what all they had to teach us.
In this class we went on one amazing fieldtrip to the LSU RURAL LIFE MUSEUM. Even though I did go to this museum in 5th grade, there was much added to it. For instance, the gift shop building got soo much more big. It seemed so different looking, which was good. Our tour guide was a hilarious old man dude person, and he told us all there is to learn about the illage and all who use to live there. It really got me tinking how gratefull we are to have all that we do now. After that we went eating at CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN. It was very very good, but the STARBUCKS coffee afterwards beat it by a long shot; I love my coffee :).
Overall, my year in journalism was an excellent one. I learned so much about what to put in a story, and what not to put into a story. I also learned how to make a long essay out of a small story...alot of improvizing to get those 5-7 sentences. I truely will miss my amazing teacher, Ms. Meloncon, for she helped and encouraged all of us in every way possible. I never saw her in a bad mood, which always made me smile in her class. The stdents that were in here I will miss as well. I have grown so close to people I use to never speak to, and I'm thankful for that everyday. I love you guys all, and wish you all luck over the summer and the next school year. :)
