Senoritis

What is Senoritis: the inflammation of of a senior. No that is not exactly it. The actual definition of senoritis is seniors becoming extremely lazy. We lose are zeal for school, because we are so close to the end. We are late to all of our classes, and when we do happen to show up at one of our classes we goof off, or sleep. Our attention is focused on the weekend whether our last crazy weekend or the next one that we spend all week planning. Tests scores go down because no one studies. Homework, well what is homework again. We shrug off being here on time to school, and are all excessively tardy, but who cares we are Seniors and that's how we roll now. We care more about hanging out, than writing essays, and I might add for good reasons. We spend all our time playing cards, or watching movies, or pulling off practical jokes. What about our grades, ahh who cares, just as long as we graduate. We're now going into the world to become who knows what, considering this years Senior class. We all rock and we know it, so if your not a senior hahahahahaha! Because life is great being a Senior.

Topic: Nip it, nip it in the bud

Well, as most of us already know, Don Knotts has passed away Friday at age 81. Our beloved Barney has went to the peaceful Mayberry in the sky. He will greatly be missed.

Until "Random Post" #11, I'm out!

Happy Valentines Day!

Everyone comment and tell what you gave or recieved for Valentines Day.

well

I am very excited about this upcoming week.

Monday will be the first Scholars Bowl meet for the Locust Fork team. It will begin at 3:55 and will be held in the Oneonta City Council Meeting Chambers at 202 Third Avenue East. Our opponent will J.B. Pennington High School. The matches will be aired on WKLD-FM (97.7) at 6:00 P.M. on Tuesday and Thursday. Wish your fellow scholars bowl team good luck. =]

Tuesday, all as we all know, is Valentine's Day. I'm sure the halls will be filled with pink and red and white all day. Be sure to support your fellow students and their clubs/activities.

Thursday Emrald Night will go to district band contest. Most of the band members (including me) have never been to such, so wish us good luck. The time we play is not decided as of yet.

Friday selected students will be going to Bevill State Community College to compete in teams of three in various categories. The students, ranging from Sophomores to Seniors, need to have their permission slips and five dollars turned into Mr. Hughes by Wednesday. Remember, all three students must be present or your team can not compete, so make sure you are there so that everyone will have a chance to win. The categories range from Grammar to U.S. History and Vocals and instrumental Solos. Students will have chances to obtain scholarships as well. This should be a good opportunity for all.

So this week will be a busy one, and if you have Mr. Martin for U.S. History don't forget your essay on Immigration is due Monday. =]

EARLY Monday Blog Fest.

Good Sunday morning to you all. I'm doing my Monday Blog today so I don't forget.

There's lots of stuff going on at The Fork This week, so let's get down to business:

The Fork

On Valentine's Day there will be a balloon and rose sale benefiting Emrald Night, our marching/concert band. Be sure to bring some money. Latex Balloons coming in Pink, Red, White, Purple, and Green will be $1.00 each, and roses will be $3.00 each, and they are the prettiest roses I've ever seen.

Also, the FCCLA will be selling Valentine's Day Candy Grams this week, so be sure to bring money for that also.

In addition to these two sales, the School newspaper will be on sale this week as well, the price is $0.50, so bring a couple of quarters and see if someone left you a Valentine's Day ad.

The Valentine's Day Dance will be held this Saturday, so I hope you have a date! See the website for more details on that. The Xbox raffle will be held that night, so if you bought a ticket, make sure you're there!

Movies This Week

New movies out this week include The Pink Panther, Final Destination 3, Firewall, and Curious George. So if you're looking for something to do on Valentine's Day, take your significant other to the movies!

Band of the Moment: Mates of State.
Mates of State is a California based band composed of two musicians/singers: Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel. They are just an organ and drumset, and two amazing voices. Their genre is hard to describe, but it is very catchy and maybe even a little bit 'poppy'. Their first record was listed in the New York Times as one of the best records you probably didn't hear in 2000, as told by their website. Their lyrics are deep, and melodic. You can check them out on their website at http://matesofstate.com.


Well, I think that's all for this week. Be sure to keep reading, if there are any changes I will definitely get them up here. Hope you all have a great week!

Michael's Random Post #9

Topic: A Death in the Munster Family

This week we have lost a Grandpa that we all knew and loved, Al Lewis or Grandpa Munster. Lewis became a familiar face on US television for his role as the irascible Grandpa Munster in the 1960s sitcom, as a Dracula character. Beyond the screen, the former basketball player became a respected talent scout, ran a restaurant in New York's Greenwich Village, wrote two children's books and campaigned as the Green Party candidate for governor of New York. I never really realized that he accomplished all that. I just knew him as "Grandpa Munster." In 2003, bad health slowed him down and complications during surgery led to an emergency bypass and the amputation of his right leg below the knee. At 82, he had three sons and four grandchildren.

Until "Random Post" #10, I'm out!

I tried putting up a couple of pictures, but I'm at school and it's not working right.

Is snow possible for Monday morning?

Just the mention of the word in the state of Alabama empties grocery stores and keeps excited children up all night in anticipation. It has been many years since any accumulation of snow has occurred so we are due. Keep track of the latest weather information here:
