Rafael's Blog

This is my 101th post to this blog. I don't know if I will keep on posting on my blog because I might forget or become too busy, but I will make sure to remember it. This Blog will also be a memory of the things I have learned, and done my junior year in my English class.

I have finished all of my finals I am going to have this year, except for my math final. I am proud of the work that I have put in, and the effort I have put in to learn what I can. I will study hard to get ready for my math final. I hope that everybody has a great  week of school because this is the last one.

I could not post it yesterday. I will try to find another way today.

Today is the last day I will have this class. I hope that everyone has a great day and that somebody has learned great things from this class

I dont really post on weekends but I am really close to 100 Blog posts. I hope everyone has a great day. I am going to enjoy my days and study for my finals.

 Yesterday was game one of the NBA finals. The Cavaliers ended up losing that game to the Warriors. Lebron James scored 51 points for his team and still lost. I honestly felt bad for him, because the team he plays for does not deserve it. This game was also a disaster. The referees were clearly favoring the Warriors. Jr Smith also gave away the game for the Cavaliers, because he ran the clock to overtime instead of shooting for a potential game winning shot or calling a time out. George Hill, who is also a Cavaliers player, missed a free throw that could have been the game winner for the Cavaliers. Lebron played his heart out and to see him lose like this made me feel bad for him. I am glad I don't go for the Cavaliers because if I did I would be really pissed at my team.

I did not sleep last night. I slept at 2:30 a.m today, and I am tired. I was really busy yesterday doing big assignments. I am relieved that I have finished these assignments, but I still have final exams coming up next weak. I will have to study more this weekend.

Today I have to finish 2 big finals assignments. One is for my Spanish class and another is for my English class. For my Spanish class I have a big project, and for my English class I have an essay to do. It will take a while to finish both, but I think that I can get through this and manage to get a good grade.

Yesterday I watched the last game of the Western Conference Finals. The winner is to go to the NBA finals to have a shot to win the championship. Golden State Warriors won game 7 against the Houston Rockets. Many people including me wanted the Rockets to win because we all know the Warriors would beat the Cavaliers, who won the Eastern Conference Finals, because they are a powerhouse. The Warriors are said to be the best team to ever live, and for them to go against the Cavaliers, who's only good player is Lebron James is going to be upsetting. This is because the Cavaliers are very bad, and they are only in the finals because of Lebron James.

Today is memorial day, and I hope everyone is having a great day. Unfortunately there is school tomorrow so I am going to get the best of this day off before I go to school.

Today is the last day of the week that I go to school. We will be having a four day weekend and I will have to study hard for my finals next week and do my homework. I am going to try to enjoy my weekend, but I think it will be a pain to do a lot of studying. I wish that my teachers would never give homework come finals week.

I learned about how schools from America and Mexico can be different and the same. They both can have bad teachers, and many teachers really don't teach. Schools from both countries also have drama like students-teacher affairs or violence They are also completely different. American school have better technology, why Mexican schools don't. In America you can also get a free education, but in Mexico is has to be paid for. I also learned about music and how great it can be. Music can be heard at different times. It can represent different moods we have throughout the day.

My favorite masterpiece presentation I have seen today is Gabriel's magic presentation. It was really funny and he showed us great magic tricks. He looked very nervous, but that can be a good thing when you make the audience laugh like Gabriel did.
