I am a good person. Lazy, but a good person none the less. I get the job done, isn't that what counts? But I know that I should do it better, faster, more through. So, in order to become a better person, I will do my homework, try to make up any homework that I have missed, and study, study, study!
Simplification of words have made it easier and simplier to talk to other people, especially when we are limited on space. But it has messed up the younger generation's grammer. They begin shortening their words, and then replacing words altogether with emocons.

I did most of it in two days! I had to hurry because I came in late and had no clue what to do in the beginning. But once I got the hang of it, I began to hustle and did as much as I could. I may of not have finished but I still did a lot! I intend to finish everything by next week, including whatever homework Mr. K gives out today.
