10 Reasons You Should Skip Bathing for a Week

1. To save soap- if you save soap that means you save money, and saving money is always good.
2. I'm not a very good swimmer- So it would decrease my chance of drowning
3. Taking a bath once a week would make you smell- So that would help chase away all your sports competitors or those people you just don't like
4. Save Time- If you only bath once a week, that means you can use that 20 minutes it takes to have a bath to do important stuff, like school work :)
5. Use your natural oils- Natural hair oils are very good for your hair, so it would make it healthy
6. Must save water- Due to all the polar ice caps melting, it is just unnatural for me to continue going on with my daily life and showering everyday even though I'm harming the environment
7. I'm allergic to the water- I would brake out with hives and my throat would begin to close= bath less
8. To lose weight- You would simply smell yourself before eating and lose your appetite
9. Other Methods- There is other methods you can use to bath yourself that saves time and money.. like sponge bathing.
10. Lazy- Bathing is a big hassle you have to wash your hair, clean your body. And after your done you have to dry your hair, do you hair, dry your body, pick out clean clothes etc...

Journal Entry

"The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls

This book made me see my life differently, that I should never be thankful for anything, each meal I eat I try not to waste, because I always think of familes like Jeannette's on how they were happy, for even stale beans. The father of this book is very unresponsible, even though he does interesting things with his kids, like pets a cheetah, he puts them in danger more the less of the time. The mother of the book, is very selfish. She has a full teachers degree but she chooses not to work. She had a full chocolate bar, and she would rather see her kids starve the share a little piece.

Thanks

The book I am reading is called "The Glass Castle" which is a memoir about the struggles and the life that Jeannette Walls lived.

This book makes me thankful for so many things. For the things I don't think about everyday to be thankful for. Like a house with no termites, 3 meals or more everyday, heating, and just a loving and trust worthy family. Unlike, Jeannette Walls whose father is a drunk, and mother is a highly educated lazy person, who could be earning the family money but instead with rather paint.

I watched the interview on Youtube of Jeannette interviewing her mother Rose Mary. Rose Mary was a lot different then I thought she would be, she was heavier set, and I was thinking her living on the streets at all seh would be rather skinny. But then again, I remember her saying in the book that she is addicted to chocolate like Jeannettes father is addicted to alcohol.
