Breaking Bad

          I almost finished watching Breaking Bad. I think I should be able to finish it by today if I get any better, since I'm kind of sick. I heard that Walter dies of a gunshot, but I don't know who kills him, my suspicions are that Hank kills him, but I'm not really sure. I really liked this series and if they made Breaking Bad 2 or something, I would probably watch it too. The only thing  I did not like about this series was the character of Skylar because she always thought she was right, until Walter grew some and became the "man." On the last episodes, I would like to see Jessie live with his family with all his money, and Skylar either die, or leave forever.

Long live the king.

“My Experience so Far at HPIAM”

 I like it because it is new and not much is tagged or destroyed. I also kind of like the teachers because they pay for individual attention because there are not a lot of students in Hpiam. So far, I will admit that I like it. Right now, I’m typing this because I have to. I am a freshman but it is cool because there are not a lot of bullies in this school.  Another reason I like this school is because there are a lot of activities to do, such as: basketball, baseball, swimming, soccer, and football. Yesterday, I had to run the mile, and I did it in 11:27 seconds, so I passed since the record time you have to beat is 13 minutes. Last week, we had a special week because all 5 days we had different events. On Monday we had twin day, on Tuesday it was decades day, on Thursday it was school spirit, and on Friday it was mismatch day. I liked that week, but I didn’t dress up or anything in particular. The first day I came to this school, I thought it was going to be scary because I have always heard that high school is on a whole different level. One time my middle school teacher told us that we were going to get essays and essays of homework in high school, and that was especially scary since we were not used to that much work. But alas, it turned out pretty good and I like it now. The only thing I don’t like about this school is that we have to wear uniform, I really don’t like that. The shirts cost 25 dollars each and I’m poor, so it’s a challenge. Well, overall, it’s a good school and it was a good choice I made, if not, my best choice since I want to be a surgeon in the future, hopefully.

The Sting of the Scopion

The sting of the scorpion, is a message that teaches to always choose the right. In this scenario, the boy's parents kept repeating to always wear shoes because the permanent danger of nearby scorpions. The boy decided to be rebellious and chose the wrong, so instead of wearing shoes, he wore flip flops. He went on a stroll, he got stung. The good news is that, the scorpion wasn't deadly, but it was dangerous enough to teach the kid to always choose the right.

"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it;s ended up not being right."

Mario Cuomo

This quote is pretty straight forward, if you feel that something you are about to do is wrong, you should go with your gut and not do it. Normally, humans have a natural instinct that detects whether something is right or wrong, and you will feel weird if something is wrong.
