Okay, so I know the title of this post is absolutely ridiculous. It's a bit like the title of the Sharknado movie, Sharknado 2: The Second One. I seriously have no idea whatsoever of what I'm doing. I am just hoping that I'm not telling you anything stupid.
See the thing is, I am only writing this post because I want to help somebody. That somebody, and this is going to sound cheesy, is YOU. YOU are the person I want to feel awesome inside. YOU are the person that should have warrior butterflies bursting out of your chest, slapping that doughnut from your hand, and waving a magic wand that makes abs grow on your stomach. YOU are the person who should eat a whole cake and feel confident in your choices. YOU are the one who should be able to travel back in time and correct William Shakespeare's grammar. YOU are the one who should be able to go the grocery store, see two boxes of crackers, different brands, prices, and contents, and think, "Well, Ritz are $2.00 per box and hold 5 pouches but, these similar Circle Saltines are only $1.00 per pouch. I'll just buy the granola bars that have less fat and calories and take them to the gym, my next stop!" (and ignore the fact that getting the plain Ritz crackers would be a much better deal). YOU are the main purpose of this blog, the one and only reader who will feel your feelings and your situations. You are the only person who can choose who you are going to be.
Now, enough with the cheddar. We are going to start our first challenges. Our first physical education challenge is quite simple but, does mean a lot. Choose one exercise that you enjoy. Now, you must do 5 reps of that exercise every time you hear a whistle (a physical whistle) blow. This is going to be challenging because of football season going on but, I believe in you. Just remember, if you were a unicorn, you wouldn't want to be chubby, would you? Chubby unicorns aren't fun, believe me, and you can put a stop to having depressing unicorns at your salad parties! All you have to do is take that chubby unicorn to a treadmill, get it walking, give it support, and watch as it grows into a majestic, healthy, amazing creature, a creature who has strength, power, and confidence in itself. Then, you'll realize that YOU are this unicorn. YOU are the person who has left the nacho bar and run to the gym, even after it was closed, and still went inside. YOU are the one who has walked up to the guards and realized you can't break the rules, so you buy your own treadmill. YOU are the one who is probably not going to any of this but, that's okay. I haven't either. :(
The second challenge is for Language Arts, my favorite subject. This challenge is going to have to do with grammar. Your challenge is to find a handwritten paper. A letter or an essay will work very well. Take this paper and correct it. You don't have to use a red pen or anything, just make the marks. If there are spelling mistakes, fix those. If you can't find any mistakes, find a new paper to correct. This exercise will help you learn the difference between to, two, and too and help you put a comma before but.
EXTRA CREDIT: I just finished reading a short story that is absolutely wonderful. It is quite short, being only about two and a half pages, but is a very smart idea. It is called, "The Time-Sweepers" an is by Ursula Wills-Jones. Your extra credit challenge is to either go onto www.eastoftheweb.com, click on short stories, and find "The Time Sweepers"; go to www.short-stories.co.uk and find "Time Sweepers", or search for "The Time Sweepers" by Ursula Wills-Jones and click on the result that leads you to www.eastoftheweb.com. Next, read the story and post a summary of it in this post's comments section.
Make sure to follow my other blogs on Blogger and have a great day!
