6th 6 weeks
Wow. I’m almost done! These 6 weeks went by so fast. I feel like I just did the 5th 6 weeks yesterday! I didn’t think that it was going to go by that fast. Only because I usually look at the calendar and count down but
I did a massive amount of work these weeks. I thought I was going to lie down, chill out, and have someone feed me grapes while I was swinging on my hammock. WRONG! I was really wrong at that. I was given so much work that I practically wasn’t able to go to a lot of places like I usually do! I mean I was able to go to some places, but not as much as I usually do. I went to a lot of places with my boyfriend Jairo. It’s been 2 years and 6 months that we have been together. People always ask me if I get bored with him, or unhappy, but I am happy, and you have to find ways to make it fun. It’s not going to be fun if you just sit there and stare. We did things together these past weeks because we don’t usually go any where. We went to eat, the movies, mountain ranges 7 hours from here on a weekend. We went to a church in Sun Ray,
What a day that was. But otherwise, I think this was the highlight of my 6 weeks. I would do it again if we could. I had homework and a bunch of projects, but I pulled it off. I did well. I won’t be able to do it again. But this blogspot was fun. I can’t wait to show others what I did. Thanks for everything Mr. Detrixhe. You’re one of my favorites!

Jesse James: I'm The Most Hated Man In The World
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jesse James was dubbed "the most hated man in America" after the allegations that he'd cheated on Sandra Bullock - and in his first sit-down interview since the news broke, he told "Nightline's" Vicki Mabrey that he's hit an even lower point than that.
"I think it's, 'Most hated man in the world,' now," he said self-deprecatingly in a clip from the interview, which airs in full on Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America" and "Nightline.""You cheated on your wife," Vicki told him.
"Yup," he responded, adding, "I took a pretty amazing life and marriage and threw it away."During the clip, Jesse became visibly emotional, beginning to tear up and later stepping away from the interview chair.
"Let me take a break for a second," he said.
The interview came in the wake of Sandra's People cover story last month, in which she revealed she'd adopted a son, Louis, and was filing for divorce from Jesse.The former couple wed in 2005.
Analysis: Definition of dumb: Jesse James. How are you going to cheat on a lady who is beautiful, who has won awards, who is Faithful!?!? People these days..men these days. Its so sad that the had to do this in order to fulfill his "needs." I don't think there is such thing as a sex addiction. That's just another excuse. What a wimp for having to take a break. Its his fault that he went with those other "ladies" who aren't even ladies when they let themselves do that. I am so amazed at Sandra. She pulled it off very well. Good she got the divorce. I'm glad her and Louis are beginning to have a normal life together. I hope shes happy later on in life. No regrets. Amen.

BEIJING – The youngest climber to reach the peak of Mount Everest hugged his tearful companions and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero took the satellite phone and called his mom.
He says, 'Mom, I'm calling you from the top of the world,'" a giddy Leigh Anne Drake told The Associated Press from California, where she had been watching her son's progress minute by minute on a GPS tracker online.
Dwight Wright says the hospital will not listen to his wishes about his wife's care. "They've shut me out of the hospital now and I'm not able to consult with my wife as far as what they're trying to coerce her into doing…. I've asked them, if you want to talk to my wife about surgery, allow me to be in the room."
Wright says he and his family are determined not to let doctors removed part of his wife's foot. Angela Joe Wright has suffered six heart attacks and a stroke since March 19, one day before their 30th wedding anniversary. "I believe the reason why she's still with us is prayer with the Lord." Doctors are concerned over gangrenous skin on her foot. "They say she has dry gangrene and it could, it may, spread to her body."
But Wright says he also has seen this before, and that it's a sensitive subject. "I've told them from the beginning, "That's a touchy thing with my wife's foot. Be sure nothing happens." He says his wife has a slight case of pneumonia and a urinary tract infection, much like she did in 1992. Her other leg was amputated following a cesarean section. That surgery prompted blood clots in her foot that doctors ultimately had to remove.
Wright says they sued the hospital involved for negligence, and simply wants to keep his wife's other foot intact. "Do the least amount to my wife's toes and give her the chance to keep her toes."
Wright and his sister accuse Baylor All Saints staffers of going around them to try and convince Angie Wright to agree to the procedure. "They said, "Oh, she's in her right mind," So I said, "Angie, would you like to go up on the top of roof with me and jump off?" And she said, Umm-hmm" says her sister-in-law Karen Pope.
Pope also believe staffers are mocking their faith. "They don't like preachers or pastors in there praying, and the nurses would just roll their eyes"
But Wright also admits to recently trying to make a point by using the word 'gun' as a metaphor, and things that's why he was banned from the hospital. Baylor All Saints says there was no metaphor, only a threat. ""The individual made a threat to the hospital clinical staff and impeded the patient from making decisions about care. He can call the family and clinical staff. Other family members can visit." HIPPA rules state they cannot comment on Mrs. Wright, for now the family anxiously waits. "It's really hard to see her go through the stuff that she's going through....She's 44" says daughter Molly Joe. "When you think "heart attack" you think 50, 60, 70."
Daughter Olivia simply feels like she caused this. "I've seen her toes and that sucks worse because Im the child she had when she lost her foot."
Wright is filling a grievance with the state, and is talking with a lawyer. He says he would sue the hospital since he has her medical power of attorney.
Angela Wright was moved to Baylor All Saints after Dwight decided he was dissatisfied with treatment she had been receiving at a suburban Fort Worth hospital following the March 19 heart attack.
Analysis: Now if he really cared about his wife, then he would understand that at times things like this happen and there are certain procedures that need to be taken place of. Its not right to see someone suffer just so that you wont suffer. No one wants to see their loved one suffer, i understand that. But to only do it because you don't want to think what she would look like after is wrong. If she has that sickness i would do what ever it takes to make her feel better. Not to have her suffer, but to release that kind of stress.

BEIJING – The youngest climber to reach the peak of Mount Everest hugged his tearful companions and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero took the satellite phone and called his mom.
He says, 'Mom, I'm calling you from the top of the world,'" a giddy Leigh Anne Drake told The Associated Press from California, where she had been watching her son's progress minute by minute on a GPS tracker online.
"There were lots of tears and 'I love you! I love you!'" Drake said. "I just told him to get his butt back home."
With Saturday's success on the world's highest mountain, at 29,035 feet (8,850 meters) above sea level, Jordan is just one climb from his quest to reach the highest peaks on all seven continents.
The teenager with a mop of long curly hair — who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was 9 years old — says he was inspired by a painting in his school hallway of the seven continents' highest summits.
"Every step I take is finally toward the biggest goal of my life, to stand on top of the world," Jordan said earlier on his blog.
Before him, the youngest climber to scale Everest had been Temba Tsheri of Nepal, who reached the peak at age 16.
Also Saturday, officials said a Nepalese Sherpa who lives in Salt Lake City broke his own world record by climbing Everest for the 20th time. Apa, who goes by one name, went up to collect garbage, a growing environmental problem on the mountain.
Several climbers took advantage of Saturday's clear weather to reach the summit, Mountaineering Department official Tilak Pandey said. May is the most popular month for Everest climbs because of more favorable weather.
Jordan had never climbed above 8,000 meters (26,240 feet), but his team climbed quickly along the final ridge to arrive at the peak hours ahead of schedule.
"The first thing, they all hugged each other and said, 'I love you, I can't believe we're finally here' and started crying," said Rob Bailey, the team's spokesman, by phone from the United States.
"I don't think it ever dawned on them to say, 'Oh my gosh, Jordan, you're the youngest to get up here,'" Bailey said. "It's never been about setting a record, besting anybody else."
Jordan, from the San Bernardino Mountains ski town of Big Bear, California, was climbing Everest with his father, his father's girlfriend and three Sherpa guides.
Helicopter paramedic Paul Romero and his girlfriend have trained Jordan for top-level mountaineering. Romero and Karen Lundgren are adventure racers, competing in weeklong endurance races that combine biking, climbing, paddling and climbing through wilderness areas.
Before the group set out for Nepal, Paul Romero said he wanted nothing more than to make his son's dreams come true, even as the quest raised questions over how young is too young to scale Everest, a mountain where harsh conditions have caused scores of climbers' deaths.
The group, dubbed "Team Jordan" on the teen's blog, approached the peak along the technically more difficult, less-traveled northern route from the base camp on the Chinese side.
Unlike neighboring Nepal, the other approach to Everest, China has no age limit for climbers. Jordan registered with Chinese officials in April, said Zhang Mingxing, secretary general of China Tibet Mountaineering Association.
No interview with Jordan would be possible until he returns to advance base camp, which could take a couple of days, Bailey said.
Climbers stay overnight at three or four camps before the summit, depending on their route and pace. Jordan's team spent nearly five weeks on the mountain acclimatizing and preparing for Saturday's predawn final climb.
Jordan carried a number of good luck charms, including a pair of kangaroo testicles given to him by a friend who has cancer.
"That's the one that probably meant the most," Bailey said.
At the summit, Jordan left behind his lucky rabbit's foot and planted some seeds that a Buddhist monk at a local monastery had given him for luck on his journey, Bailey said. Then he took the satellite phone and called his mom.
"He's such a good boy and he calls his mom every day," Drake said, laughing, just minutes later.
Drake said her son took two months of homework with him to keep up in school
Jordan continues the recent trend of young adventurers. Earlier this month, 16-year-old Australian Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail around the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted. Thousands lined Sydney Harbor to cheer as she cruised past the finish line in her pink yacht.
A Dutch court late last year blocked an even younger sailor, 14-year-old sailor Laura Dekker, from pursuing a similar round-the-world voyage, ordering her to prepare more and wait at least until this year before starting.
And in January, 17-year-old Johnny Collinson of Utah became the youngest person to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents.
Just one mountain remains in Jordan's own quest to climb those peaks, the Vinson Massif in Antarctica.
Jordan's team leaves for Antarctica in December, Bailey said.
"A piece of cake," his mother said.
Analysis: Wow. That's so cool. I wish i could do that. I would rather watch someone climb from t.v than me climb it. I wonder how a mural can inspire. I guess its different for everyone. I mean i started painting just so that i can sprinkle salt on it so that it could have a texture. Its different for everyone. Maybe i need to get my passport so that i can do it too. It sounds like fun. But cold too.

Man Banned From Wife's Bedside For Alleged Threat
Fort Worth hospital after a patient's husband was banned. The Hospital, Baylor All Saints, tells CBS 11 the husband threatened staff, but he says the real problem is he doesn't want doctors to remove his wife's toes.Dwight Wright says the hospital will not listen to his wishes about his wife's care.

Mark Cuban: How Mavericks have a chance at LeBron James
08:51 PM CDT on Thursday, May 20, 2010
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sat down to discuss his team and world financial matters with Poppy Harlow in an interview posted on CNNMoney.com this week. Here's what he had to say about the Mavericks' interest in NBA superstar and potential free agent LeBron James.
"Come July 1st, yeah, of course. Anybody would be interested in LeBron James, and if he leaves via free agency, then it's going to be tough. If he does like I'm guessing, hoping he will, which is say 'I'm not going to leave the Cavs high and dry,' if he decides to leave -- there's a better chance he stays -- then he'll try to force a sign-and-trade and that gives us a chance.
"What I do know about LeBron in the minimal time I've spent talking to him is he just wants to win. Money's not his issue. He needs to be some place where he trusts the organization. And look, Dan Gilbert in Cleveland did everything he possibly could, that's just the way the game works. If there was a template that we all could follow, we'd all have championship rings."

5th 6 weeks
Wow. Only 1 more six weeks left. These six weeks was like no other. I only hope to do better than I am now. I would like a GPA of 95, but it’s hard for me to even get a 90! I worked pretty hard and I can’t stop now. I have one more year to raise it up before I get my rankings. Of course I want to graduate in the top 5% with High honors.
These six weeks felt the same as the others except I figured out that my work was going to need to be better. My family expects high of me, I mean my sister graduated with high honors and is at SMU for her first time and was is doing great. She is going for a double major and everyone is proud of her. I only hope I can beat her and get something better. My desire for knowledge is at its highest peak. But with many distractions, it just sits there and waits for me to notice it and use it. All my classes are the same except now I have more work and can’t slack off. A lot of people joke around and say that they have had senioritis since they were in pre-k. Not funny. I did a lot of typing, running, and talking these six weeks. I staring off with tests, and essays, and ending up with the same thing! A few of my classes have been more fun than ever, like in Chemistry. I now love to learn about Acids and Bases. Church hasn’t been a difference. I go on Sunday and after that go to the park or watch a movie. I have been interested in Mythology for a while, but I don’t want to get mixed with that a lot or else it might change my thoughts and beliefs. I like going to the library to sit on the isle floor and read about the Gods and Goddesses in Greek time. Lately we have been doing a lot of fish fries and eating a lot fatty foods which is delicious but not nutritious. We use to have a Mexican seafood restaurant but we sold it because we were tired and wanted to rest, I learned most of my cooking there. We use to make shrimp cocktails, tilapia, red snapper, seafood soups, paella which is a combination of seafood with rice and other great dishes. All of my family would come and take up the whole occupancy space to eat. We as in my mother, father, sister, and brother wouldn’t be able to eat because we were in the back slaving away! My dad is very picky about presentation, he wants everything right. If we got something wrong, he would get upset. But I didn’t care if he yelled at me. Most of the time we have the fish fries on Friday’s after school, and Sunday or Saturday we would make beef soup and rice. Very mexican, very traditional. But its fun to be with the family and I hope we do many more because its fun. I feel like I can do more next six weeks and hope it doesn’t end too bad! Doing this blog spot is fun; I wonder what my binder would look like if I did one.
