Week 32: Recollecting Memories

Most interesting part of this class: I would have to say the most interesting part of English Three Honors was, for me, most probably writing the Excellent Adventure or Extravagant Adventure paper.
Least favorite part of this class: In my opinion, either Animal Farm because I don't like thinking about or reminded of the atrocities the human race has done or blog comments or when Stone and Jesse steal my writing utensil. My other least favorite part is when Jesse almost died because he was choking.
Hardest I laughed in this class: Definitely when Stone went flying into the filing cabinet
Favorite memory from this class: Again, definitely when Stone RKOed the filing cabinet
Thing Ms. Hudson could do to make this class better for future classes: Get rid of the blog comments
Any final comments for Ms. Hudson: I'm glad we didn't have as many packets this year.

Week 31: Advice giving

The main advice I have for you, the upcoming juniors, is to take pride in our school and go out for the basketball team or cheer leading if they won't let you go out for the basketball team. Also, you should all go out for prom committee so there's a bomb prom. Thirdly, everyone should go out for band or chorus because the numbers are dwindling and it would be rad to have performing arts be a huge part of our school. Lastly, I would advise all of you to stay true to yourself and don't do drugs because nothing good comes from them.

Week 30: The Unlikely Probability of an Extremely Odd Mishap

First off, I take great care and precaution in everything I do, so the likelihood of a freak accident including a banana, couch, and a rampaging chicken actually happening and taking away my memory, is extremely unlikely. But my panel of advisers would definitely include Kanye to remind myself of my idol and musical taste, Jacob, my brother, to remind me of all the other music that I like, for my fashion sense, and for all of the books I have read. Then I wouldn't have anyone else because I would like to rediscover myself and possible be less of an introvert and more outgoing.

Week 29: Life Aboard the "Life Aquatic"

Well, it's about time that we went on a field trip for English. First off, when we got to Navy Pier, because that's where we are departing from, I renamed the submarine to a much better name based off of the Wes Anderson film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I spray painted over English 3000 with black spray paint while everyone boarded the unterseeboot, then right before the U-boat departed, I'd whip out the stencils from my backpack and paint "Life Aquatic" on top of where the old name used to be. We would go to the north pole and bust through the ice. We'd also go to Loch Ness and discover the Loch Ness Monster and become famous. After that, we'd stay under the ocean and send out smaller remote control submarines to explore everything and we'd become the most renowned sea explorers ever.

Week 28: Thank you, Kanye

Dear Kanye,
        Thank you for always being there for me! Whenever I have girl problems I can listen to any of the songs featured in your album 808s and Heartbreak such as Welcome to Heartbreak, Heartless, See You in My Nightmares, and Coldest Winter. Then, whenever I hang out with my squad we can listen to clique and I'll just imagine you there with us. On Mother's Day you have my back again with the song Hey Mama. If I am ever in a solemn mood and want something that will express to me similar feelings, I can listen to Only One. Whenever there's a police officer doing his job and monitoring road traffic, you have my back once again, with Drive Slow.
        With the dearest of affections,
Ethan Zulz

Week 27: All Day

First off, if you haven't heard Kanye West's latest song "All Day" you should listen to it as soon as possible. I'll post a link here just for you. link. Merry Christmas. One day I had been playing basketball all day and people would come up and ask me "how long have you been playing basketball?" of course my answer was "all day." Then the next day I asked my parents if I could go to the mall and they asked "how long do you plan on staying at the mall?" my response the two word phrase "all day." After I got the okay from my parents I asked my friends "do you want to stay at the mall all day?" and they asked "All day?" and I responded "All day" so we went to the mall and we stayed there all day.

Week 26: Eureka!

This one time, when it was probably the summer of my 6th grade year, so I was going into 7th grade, I went to California with my fam. Along the way we stopped at the salt flats by Salt Lake City and that was pretty rad. I'm pretty sure we went to Eureka before we went to San Francisco, anyways we stayed at a KOA campground and we rented banana bikes. At this campground, it was fenced in with a wooden fence, there was a long drive way to enter into the campground that also had the wooden fencing. There was a compound at the end of private property that was connected to the campground via the entrance of the driveway. Having almost free roam of the campground I, not knowing that I was leaving the campground, went down the driveway. I turned into the private property and drove to the end, in this compound there was a sort of a cul-de-sac with houses and trailers. I noticed at the end that this was not the campground, so I turned around and pedaled as fast as I could to get back to the campground. But, awaiting at the final house was a mean lady with her son, I'm assuming, standing by her leg in a diaper or underwear, I don't recall which. Anyhow, she yelled at me and the rest of that day was terrible. I rode my bike back to our little cabin and went and laid on my bed and cried. In retrospect I wish I would have scorched her. Also, whenever anyone comments on my skinny jeans for example "Are you wearing your girlfriend's jeans?" I wish I had a comeback that would rek them.

Week 25: Kanye ft. Paul McCartney, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, The Avett Brothers, Beyoncé, The Last Bison, Drake, Big Sean, Mumford and Sons, Kendrick Lamar, Adele, Alt-J, Biz Markie, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, Electric Light Orchestra, Gary Clark Jr., Jacob Jeffries Band, Japandroids, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Local Natives, M83, Ellie Goulding and Tyler, The Creator

You already know that if I had a theme song it would be sung/ rapped by Kanye. There would also be a bunch of people featuring in the song like Paul McCartney, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, The Avett Brothers, Beyoncé, The Last Bison, Drake, Big Sean, Mumford and Sons, Kendrick Lamar, Adele, Alt-J, Biz Markie, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, Electric Light Orchestra, Gary Clark Jr., Jacob Jeffries Band, Japandroids, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Local Natives, M83, Ellie Goulding and Tyler, The Creator. It will be a combination of all my favorite genres so pretty much everything except country. Yes, it would follow me around everywhere.

Week 24: Distractions

Cody, Evan and I have quite a few inside jokes. They normally are all from vines or something stupid like that. For example we say oh my goy and Cody likes it when we harmonize, but I hate it so much. hi Ethan(: and stone does this thing where he just says winning and it's great. The other day during Pre-calc we overheard a discussion with the teacher where another student, in my opinion was being kind of disrespectful, anyways she said that we were being too distracting and that the rest of the class can't concentrate with us and that she needs to be more stern with us. So now, we, as in cody stone and I, do this thing where if anyone does anything at all mildly distracting we tell them to stop causing distraction.

Week 23: Eurasian Cuisine

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to every single country in the Eurasia region, except for maybe the countries that hate Americans and/or have terrorist groups. I would love to sample food from every single country. I think that I would enjoy most of these countries authentic cuisines, but I feel like there are probably some really weird dishes that require an acquired taste to enjoy. My grandparents have friends that live in China I believe or are from China and they seldom visit, but the last time they did, they brought mooncakes which are a sweet delicacy, but they have an egg baked on the inside and I didn't think they were very good.

Week 22: Mulan is a Babe

About a week ago, my parents were talking to Mara about life and love and all of that mushy stuff; probably because they're buying a house for Mara and her boyfriend, and I just so happened to be in the room. Anyways my mom said, "Love doesn't last forever, so it's good to have a friendship there when things don't work out," or something along those lines. So, considering that most of the Disney movie relationships are based on just a couple days and then they live happily ever after, is probably absurd and don't actually last forever, Except for maybe Mulan and Shang because they went through an entire war together and then got married. There's is probably the only relationship that actually lasted.

Week 21: Kanye or Maisie

If I could go on a date with any celebrity, I would no doubt choose Kanye West because A. He's my hero. B. I like him a lot. C. We would probably go somewhere super cool. D. He may or may not give me a pair of his new shoes. But if I were to go on an actual date with a celebrity, I would probably go with Maisie Williams. She is super cool because she plays Arya in Game of Thrones and she's my favorite. Secondly, She likes Ed Sheeran, who I also like. Thirdly, she has some pretty rad dance moves and we can go to parties/prom/HoCo together and make all the other couples jealous with our far out dancing skills.

Week 20: Bringin' Back the Half-Stache

Well, if I woke up back in seventh grade that would be terrible because I had the worst half-stache for the longest time. First off, i would start shaving way sooner because that half-stache was atrocious. Other than that, if I were to do anything different, I would start lifting weights so by the time I am in highschool I can 720 dunk. I would also work on my shooting so I miss even less than I do now, which is only occasionally, so I won't miss at all. Also, I would work on my lady skills because they're flawed and need lots of work.

Week 19: The Story of My Life

Well, from probably 4th to 6th grade I took ballet and tumbling lessons. I was a huge science weirdo and watched Mythbusters and How It's Made all the time. On occasions I would do little experiments too. I also had a knight/ medieval phase and bought toy knights all the time. Also, I am the best at basketball. I don't like orange juice. Soccer is one of my favorite sports, second only to basketball. I wanted to be an astronaut up until high school. I was so set on being an astronaut that my parents sent me to space camp in 8th grade.

Week 18: Best Bros

Well, I know it's probably not right to pick favorites, but Jacob is my fav. We literally hang out all the time almost. We go eat Vietnamese food all the time. We also go to the movies quite often. He's pretty much the best big brother ever. And when we aren't doing that, we are playing video games. Emily and Leah are pretty rad as well, but we aren't as close because they live forever away and we never get to hang out. Mara is alrighty but sometimes she's a pain. Same as Levi, we get along most of the time, but he wears my socks all the time and it irks me. Also, he can be a reaal turd sometimes and it's hard to deal with him.

Week 17: Roads? Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads.

Well first off, the only music in the future is Kanye's because his songs are so ahead of our time. Also, since Kanye is a god, he would have hundreds of statues in the future and they'd find someway to make him live forever. Of course, there would also be flying cars because it's the future and obviously there aren't any roads in the future. Unlike the movie Wall-E people continue to exercise in to the future so nobody is that fat. Also, McDonald's is illegal because it's so fattening, but a new healthy fast food restaurant took it's place.
