I uploaded photos from my vacation to Washington, D.C. and asked an AI illustrator to make them "look sinister," and this is what it did to my photo of the Washington Monument. So the Terminator films are a lot less frightening to me now. Also, the federal government may cut all but essential services starting at 12:01 a.m. tonight.
The Golden Eagles traveled to Standley Lake to play against the Standley Lake Gators. The final score was 52-58 making the Golden Eagles lose by just 6 points.

The Safeway location at 8134 Colorado Blvd., pictured above, is the closest grocery store to Frederick. It has been flagged as a location that will be sold to C&S Wholesalers if Kroger and Albertsons are allowed to merge. If this happens, the store would still be called Safeway but be filled with different products, less selection, and higher prices. *(I can take a photo of Safeway by Friday so we don’t use the same one again, I just don’t have one right now)*

Sports
Sophomore Peiton Stone takes the ball down the court with her senior teammate Ryless Gallegos close behind. Communication is key in basketball, and all of the team’s preseason work really paid off in that regard. The team was able to complete a majority of their passes which led to more points being scored.

Finals are coming, but they never are just on that final class period. Studying needs to start a few days before the day of the test to avoid cramming. Essays need to be written long before the due date to allow for time to edit. Projects need multiple short sessions of work to construct all the pieces of the whole.

There is something inside my house.

It was late winter night. It was dark far too early this time of year, making me sleepy earlier, my brain thinking that it was closer to 9pm at 7pm. It didn’t help that I was in the reeds of high school. Waking up at 6am, then seven hours of loud kids, hard classes, and boring conversations made me exhausted
