   When I watched Blackfish it made me a bit upset how they lied about how long the killer whales live and how “25%” of the male killer whales have collapsed dorsal fins. The movie was a bit sad especially when you would hear how SeaWorld blamed Dawn for how she died. The documentary will definitely make you upset at some point, for me it made me really upset when they were talking about the whole capturing killer whales thing, and when they take the baby whales away from their parents. The movie was overwhelming in all. When you learn these things it sort of gives you a shock  to know this kind of work actually happens right here is the US. It’s half hard to believe.

   My New Years resolution this year is to make better choices. For example, I want to make better choices with my time. What I mean by that is when I get home and maybe have homework, I should make my homework my first priority once I get home so I have the rest of the day to play games or chat with my friends. I also want to manage my sleep schedule better, if I’m being honest, I go to sleep at around 2-3 AM almost every day because of my horrible sleep schedule. So I want to be able to go to sleep earlier so I will be less tired in the morning. I want to work on my communication skills too, I want to be able to speak and discuss topics with partners or groups more clearly with all of my subjects. A resolution that hasn’t anything to do with school is for me to draw every single day, and to finish Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by the end of the year, if not January of 2019.

  For the two weeks of winter break I did some fun things! I celebrated Christmas Eve with my aunts, uncles, granparents, and my mom and dad. We stayed up until 12 AM and wished everyone a Merry Christmas, then we opened all of our presents! I got two games; The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Sims 4, I got an official Hamilton sweater, a Hamilton bobble head, Hamilton comic, a few pairs of clothes, the Wicked book set, and a Sailor Moon sweater and purse. Five days after Christmas is my birthday! I got a cute Wicked themed cake, but instead of it saying Wicked it said my nickname Bella! I spent the day with my friends Alexa, Tiegan, Ariani, and Jimmy. I got too many things to list on my birthday! My favorite presents were from my friend Alexa and my two sisters, Roni and Maricris. Alexa got me snake toys as a joke gift and printed a bunch of pictures of a character named Sr Pelo, my sisters got me a new sketchbook, two Sailor Moon shirts, art supplies, and two Pokemon mangas.
