Tasks That I Dislike

I especially despise doing homework. I believe that homework is just a waste of time. I also dislike the grading system that is used in our education system. I think it doesn't teach so much as it does stress students minds to get a good grade. Another thing I dislike is blogging, or any form of writing for that matter. I also hate doing comprehension about books like what does the author mean by this certain line. Then there's taking notes during movies. I find that to be pointless because when I'm focusing on writing down something I miss parts of the movie and other times I don't completely understand what was said because it went by too fast. Those are just a few tasks that I don't like doing, if you notice they have to deal with school.

Dialects

I do believe in some places people are discriminated because of the way they speak. Some people may get made fun of because of their accent. For example a person in a large wealthy community may make fun of a person with a southern drawl by making statements that they may be dumb or slow when in fact may be smarter than the person making fun of him.

I for one don't mind most accents. Some may be harder to understand than others but I don't think they should get made fun of because of it. I also think that stereotypes are drawn from accents and different dialects as well. People with a southern drawl are often to made out to be farmers or ranchers. A lot of times I believe Asian accents are made fun of the most.

My Name's Meaning

I looked up the meaning of my first name and the Old English term of Clayton is clay town. I also found out that my middle name, David, means beloved. Unfortunately I could not find anything on my last name which is disappointing because I have tried to look for family before on the internet but there are always no results. My dad thinks this is because our name has become Americanized and the way we spell it now is different from how it was spelt. Alls I know is that my last name is Czech and nothing else really.

Free Write

Last weekend went pretty well I think. Saturday was the Sectional wrestling tournament at Alburnett. I placed 2nd and get to wrestle at the district tournament this coming Saturday and hopefully place high enough in order to go wrestle at the state tournament next week. After the tourny on Saturday most of the wrestlers went out to eat with the cheerleaders and managers. We tried to go to Buffalo Wild Wings but that was too crowded so we ended up going to Metro Buffet. I had fun and was able to try frog legs for the first time which I thought were pretty good. Sunday I just relaxed and didn't watch the Super Bowl. Then Monday unfortunately came and then Tuesday we started ITEDs. Hopefully the rest of the week goes by fast so this weekend is here.
