Random new update

What is annoying me today? First the oil spill is a disaster. It has been over a month and we still have not stopped the spill. Great now the whole south is trashed. SWEET more people in need of government money that isn't there. I know they do deserve help but there isn't much to give. The environment all over the south is never going to be the same. I'm sure this has happened before in history but on it's own, not inflicted by humans. Who knows what is going to happen.
Next annoying thing is how the Spaniards took over all the native people in Mexico. First they got the Aztecs then moved south and took over mover people. Then a little later some ingenious guy decided he wanted to find another gold rich city so he left Spain to "explore" the Florida area. Found nothing there so kept moving up. The Spaniards took over all these places just so they could find gold.
Third very annoying thing of the day is that I want to go to Joliet Junior Collage but my parents don't want me to. It they only place with a Vet Tech Program that is accredited by the Vet Tech society and looks like a nice area. Everywhere else is part accredited and far away from here. Joliet is about an hour and a half away from here rather than the other side of the state.

Bad days

This day is a really bad. I have to do gym in 30mins and gym after school. My stomach ha been hurting all day. My teachers are annoying me. I just played tennis for a little. I want to curl up in a fridge. Maybe read for a while.

Spot Light

WE just read the book Stone Fox in class and now we are to discuss it. My teachers think the boy relates to a super hero. I think my teachers are crazy but they are still awesome. I dont think the kid relates to a super hero because i just believe he wants to help his grandpa not the world. He might be important but not a super hero. Why am I even talking about this. WOOOOO IM GRADUATING!!!!! Two weeks to go!!! Happy happy happy.... :)

Aztec Killings

Dear my teachers I hate your topics so I am doing my own. Seems more educational than your topics.

From what I have read I'm the past two days I realized that the Aztec Empire was located in Mexico. I previously thought it was somewhere in South America. I also learned that Moctezuma (Aztec king) thought Hernan Cortez (Spanish Invader) was the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. Cortez was from Cuba. The Cuban Governor told him not to go to Mexico but he did it anyway. He left with many boats, men, Cuban natives, African slaves, horses, and war dogs. Cortez wanted to succeed where all before him failed. Cortez first landed on the east coast of Yucatan. There he found out about two Spanish men being held captive. He got them and one came with him and helped translate for him. The next place he went he took a mistress who also translated for him. At this point Moctezuma heard of Cortez and sent two people to watch him and bring back information. The informant came back with detailed information about the Spaniards. They told Moctezuma about how the Spaniards fish and what they look like.
I really like this book so far. It is very informative and give quotes from the people. I think I may buy this book. In fact I am going to go find it right now!

New Book

As of yesterday I started reading Stolen Continents By Ronald Wright. It is about Native Americans and their view of white men coming to America. I like the book so far though it is a little hard to read. I will eventually post what I learn from this book.

Cherokee Indian

Well I have found that in order to be apart of the Cherokee Nation you must be able to prove one of your ancestors was on the Dawes Rolls. From my understanding Dawes Rolls is a list of approved Cherokee people from 1898-1914. These people were from the "Five Civilized Tribes". The Five Civilized Tribes consist of the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles. Those on the list got land from the government. If I am wrong please do correct me. Maybe some day ill try and see if I can find an ancestor on the list. According to my family someone in the family did marry a Cherokee Indian but I have to research more about it.

Oil Spill

Amazing pics from here

This oil spill is absolutely insane. The spill is spreading everywhere. They need all the help they can get down there. The animal population is going to drop severely. The economics all around the coast are dead again. I cant believe that the oil is still spilling out. There has to be some way to get down there and seal it off. They need to increase the amount of burnings they do as well. If you want look at these sites to help the animals affected by this.
