quickwrite how to

how to survive a boring class ?
to survive a boring class some tips i would give is to bring candy or something small to eat while you are taking notes, i always think its better if i have something like Swedish berries in class while i take notes, it's kind of like a way to reward yourself after sitting through a lecture about excess reactants in chemistry
another tip is to doodle on the margin of your notes, every time in class when the teacher stops the notes slide to talk randomly about things that don't pertain ton the topic i like to doodle little comical characters in the margin of my page. trust me go and look at my chemistry notebook and you will find plenty of the Simpsons characters doodled on the side. make it funny and give yourself a laugh.
last but not least, if you are in a really boring class but you are sitting next to your best friend, draw on their hands ( with permission of course ) it will pass the time and you could also make some really cool doodles.

quick write - haunted house

haunted house


the floor creaked underneath my feet as i heard a gust of wind rustle through the rafters of the old Victorian home, the floor was missing boards and the walls were covered in paintings that were shielded by thick webs of dust. I looked around frantically searching for an exit, my heart could be heard a mile away it was pounding as i saw the slender white figure float over the floorboards and around the corner, i wanted to search for it to investigate further but at the same time i did not want it to catch me looking, i was beyond scared, it was something that you could not explain. the figure peered back out of the corner to show its ghastly face. i stood my ground, the ghosts face slid into a look of despair as if it had lost something, the figure pointed to a doorway with light flooding out from beneath the door, an exit. the ghost however did not want me to leave, it was lonely so maybe i will stay a while.

quickwrite: minions


if i got a set of minions for a week i would probably first of all get them to finish my chemistry work for the rest of the year because i absolutely hate chemistry. i would also get them to redo my room and organize all my things because i really don't have time to do that myself, i would also send them off to annoy my boyfriend, because he gets really annoying sometimes and it would feel great to get back at him. i would also be kind and send my minions off to help my boyfriend pass his university exam that he is stressing out about.

character iphone

the first app i did was a shopping app, because i find the main character would find herself using this app mostly every day to tend to her shopping needs.
the second app is a wardrobe app, it shows the character what clothes she has in her wardrobe so that she can choose the perfect outfit for her job.
the third app was for the business magazine app, she says she carries the financial times to show that she is up to date with all the recent news.
the fourth app is for mixing drinks, i think the character can use this app to go to social events, she is a very bubbly person and i think she would use this app to impress people.
the fifth app i created was the subway train app, this is for the character to find out when her train comes and what route is fastest to get to her destination.
the sixth app is to find all the parties in her hip neighborhood, she loves to meet new people so this is the perfect app for her.
seventh app i made was the records app, it is where she keeps all of her records for clients so she has everything organized
the eighth app i made was her shoe app, it shows her all the new shoes that come out from her favorite stores
the ninth app i made was the study app its to help her study to get the new job that she wanted to gain more money.
the tenth app is for the prescription app, so she can check her prescriptions for her "glandular fever "

book: confessions of a shopaholic
pages read : 150

text to world:
i think that this novel relates to the world because people struggle with addictions to shopping and spending money and they can also struggle with saving and budgeting their money, although this book contains serious topics it also makes light of the topic by the characters attitude towards her new found love of this book about managing your money, she tries so hard to follow the given rules but she always seems to find a loophole in which she can spend money stupidly on materialistic items.

text to text:
this novel has connections to books such as pretty little liars because the girls always spend their money frivolously on items they will probably forget about in a couple of chapters, it seems like the characters never run out of money like other people in the real world who do have bills to pay and credit card loans to pay off or the government will send them countless letters.

text to self;
this relates to me because i tend to spend tons of money on things i most likely don't need, i am always being told to manage my money but i just cant seem to follow through with any set plan that i make for myself, i always find myself spending more and more on pointless things that aren't necessary for me to purchase
