Let's go back to elementary school English!

Remember elementary school? Wait ... no, you don't. That's why I'm writing this blog. This blog's purpose is to teach YOU how to use the English language properly. No offense, actually go ahead and take offense, but nobody knows how to use the English language properly anymore. So I'm going to give a quick lesson.

Now, these are all homophones. Don't remember what a homophone is? A homophone is a word that sounds exactly the same as another word, but is spelled differently and has a different meaning. Examples of this are as follows: hare, hair. sail, sale. You get it. Anyway ...


Let's start with your and you're.

Your: shows possession to you.
ex) The pink umbrella is your umbrella.

You're: a contraction meaning you are.
ex) You're going to school today.

See the difference? Use it properly then.


Next, let's look at their, there, and they're.

There: an undefined or unspecific place.
ex) The big, red dog is there.

Their: shows possession to they/them.
ex) Their friend is going to school.

They're: a contraction meaning they are.
ex) They're seeing a movie later.

Get it? Then, use it properly!



This next one is the last one, it's then and than.

Then: used to state a later or past time; what's coming next; a result.
ex) If you misuse these words, then you will look like a moron.

Than: used to compare two or more things.
ex) The dog is bigger than the cat.


Understand? Then, use it properly!!!!!!!!!


It's really not that hard, guys.

Dear Sickness ...

I don't want to be sick anymore. I've decided that being sick is the worst thing in the world. Every now and then, missing school is ... alright. But when you're sick every other week and missing school all the time because you just can't seem to get healthy, it sucks. It really sucks. I've missed so much school just because of being sick. I haven't had to fake it once just to get out of school. I've been to urgent care like 5-7 times JUST IN 2009. So in less than two months, I've gone to urgent care that many times. This is freaking ridiculous.

I hate having to miss so much school. I hate having to find out what I missed and having to make it all up. I hate that I always manage to miss the hardest, most important lessons in every class, too. That just always manages to work out for me. I don't know how it always ends up that way, but it does. I'm never just "sick". It's always something much more. I've always got multiple things going on. You think the doctor's would be like, dang, your immune system might as well just shut off entirely. God, please don't. But in all seriousness, I'm SICK of BEING sick.



Mhmm.
Ohhhh, word play. How I love you. (:

Well, well, well, welcome back.

Guess who's back?
Back again?
Infection's back.
Back again.


Yep, I'm sick. again. I went to urgent care today because I was sure it wasn't just some little cold. So, yeah. I have a throat infection, a sinus infection and the flu. All at the same time. I'm just freaking dying. I literally just got over a gland infection in my throat and sinusitus.
And now it's back again. Such bull, dude. I hate being sick.

This is the most I've ever gone to urgent care and had to stay home all the time. I'm so SICK of BEING sick.
>_<



Uuuugghhhh.
