My TCAP Test

My journey here has been awsome from the start. Only, the down sides are pretty small except for this. They call it TCAP.

TCAP is sort of a standardized test only it goes on your permanent record. TCAP stands for Tennessee Comprehensive Assesment Program. Long, huh. Anyway, that is this week. I've already started today at school. Not that hard but that was only Reading & Language Arts. Math is tomorrow and I need to study. There are 77 questions in each section. Some are fun and some were a bit weird.

There was a poem called "Broccoli's Blues" by an anthromorphic peice of broccoli who sings about why nobody eats broccoli. It was written by Beverly McLoughland. A bit ridiculous. But one of my favorites was a magazine article on Fallingwater, the house built partly on a waterfall. The architect was Frank Lloyd Wright.

I liked this TCAP test. Only, before I thought it'd be boring because of my cousin, Braxton's opinion, "I hate TCAP." But it wasn't that bad. I hope I'll say that after Math. Anyway, I'll blog you later. See ya, I'll be blogging on my journey on TCAP.

Journey to Tennessee: Easter Edition





Hey it's me, Max Jessop. Or as they call me on the World Wide Web, maxjess12@att.net. I'm back from Missouri. Well, I actually came back on the 11th. It was so cool, me, Kohl, Brynn, Chase, and Kohl's Dad played Guitar Hero: World Tour together. Here are some highlights from the game:

Round 1-
Me Kohl Brynn Chase Dad
27% 49% 24% 57% Didn't Play
Round 2-
57% 98% 36% 21% 100%


Technically, I rocked in 2nd round, 1st: a little suckish. Want more bad news, Kohl was yet again Cinderella or her evil twin brother.


Anyway, I'm working now to get this audition. It's not an open casting call. You've gotta be invited. Miss Carrie is inviting me. The audition is for a stage show variant of the classic, "A Chrismas Story"at the Repertory Theater. I'm auditioning for the role of Flick. Now, if you haven't seen the movie, Flick is the one who gets his tougue stuck on the flagpost.


It was awsome. The night on at home when we came back was good. Me and my dad dyed the Easter eggs. On Easter me, my cousins (Bridgette, Braxton, Myles, Kendall, Samantha, Kylie) had an Easter egg hunt. Not inside, but in my Grandma's house. Why? It's so big you could hide anything in it. I found mine. It was awsome. Before the hunt, at my house I got presents from the Easter Bunny, 3 "Monsters .vs. Aliens" toys from McDonalds, a guitar stand, $2, and Monopoly: The Card Game (which I played and lost to my dad). And now I have to study because of TCAP tomorrow. So I guess I'll see ya' later. I hope. Bye. Adios. Salut. Ciao.

St. Louis Again


It's me, again. And today, I'm going back to St. Louis, MO, for a trip to see my friends and my acting teacher, Ms. Carrie Houk. She's nice.

Anyway, I've done this alot and it'll be so fun. I just hope my friend, Kohl won't do this again.

You, don't wanna know. On the bright side,we're renting a car since ours is running low. The rental car is awsome, it's a Ford Focus.

It'll be me and my mom, dad will stay here in Tennessee. I'm hoping I'll have a great time. Last time, I saw a peregrine falcon.

I will inform you about the trip on the day after Easter. So for now, bye, and I'll be on my journey to Missouri. See ya!

Ballet Blues

Hey, it's Saturday, the second awsomest day of the week, the first is Friday. Since Friday is Grilled Cheese Friday, the day I get to have a Grilled Cheese Sandwich for every meal. Except on school day, in which I can have it for every meal except lunch when I have aoast Beef Sandwich. Anyway, as I was saying Saturdays are cool. Only if you don't have ballet class on that awsome day. It isn't that bad, but, if you look at it this way I go to ballet class on Tuesdays.

You see from the first post you red that I am a child actor. When I get my show on Disney. They're probably going to ask me to dance. Why ballet? The reason is yet because ballet is the center of all dancing. I know your thinking, "What, ballet can help my hip-hop". It's true, it can even help your football. So, I take that so if I take other dancing classes (which I do) I am
already experienced.


As I was saying, I had already took the classes on Tuesdays in the Young Beginners Class. Unfortunately, I had to make up 2 classes I had missed. I had to take them on Sat. and in the Ballet 1 class. It wasn't that bad. Only it took up 1 hour of my time. So, I guess I'll try having more time next Saturday. Wuh, wuh, wuh.... I have another class on that day. Sorry.


Anyway, I'll see you later as we progress on my journey in Tennessee

April Fools!


April the first, a.k.a April Fools Day. The one day you can prank people all day long! I've got ideas for today's April Fools Day prank. Actually, I've already done a prank with my dad to do on my mom. The funniest prank since O8' for my family. You see, I had already went to the bathroom before school. After, Mom looked in the toilet. The inside was red. The secret: my Dad got a cup of red food coloring and poured in the toilet of my bathroom. She was worried I might have bled or pead out red. We then told her and she was suprised as we blurted out, "April Fools!". Now I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. I could do the classic, Shorting the Sheets. Or even mix blue and red food coloring to make purple and pour that in my Mom's chiro-cleyns tea, which makes her poop. So anyway, thanks for reading, and Happy April Fools!
