Today

My day started off with me waking up to early and went to band concert in Norfolk. So in other words my day hasn't been the best.

Entertainment Speech

Good
1. it was somewhat funny
2. it was long enough
3. i used some good gestures every now and then

Bad
1. I was on the other side when I was trying to show my props so I had to walk over in the middle of it
2. I forgot where I was at in the middle of it
3. I got the props all tangled up so it took up some time

How I'm Doing

a) I think I'm doing pretty well.
b) I expect to do the same as this term.
c) I enjoy all the activities and fun stuff we do in this class.
d) I haven't enjoyed writing speeches.
e) Hi.

Facebook

I think the Facebook ordeal is that Facebook said they could use whatever was uploaded to Facebook even if you canceled your facebook account. A lot of people were mad so Facebook went back to the normal way and will eventually edit the Terms of Use. I guess I would be mad if Facebook used photos or whatever for their personal uses, but it would be my fault for having it anyway so I don't know.

Technology

Technology has impacted my life a lot. One example is that our school gives every student a computer to use. This makes it easier for doing research and typing things because it's all one one computer instead of going from your home computer to your school computer and back again to your home computer. Another example is making food. We can have a meal in two minutes with a microwave that would take forever to make on a stove. That has made it so I can eat a make and eat a meal quickly.

A Baseball Team

I really don't have a favorite baseball team so I decided to choose the Yankees.

The Yankees' June Schedule

I really don't know how good any of the other teams are so I'm just going to say that the Yankees are going to dominate everybody.

A Pill to Ease Bad Memories

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7892272.stm

Scientists might have discovered a way to make bad memories go away just by eating a pill. The pill is supposed to alter memories so they don't seem as bad as they would regularly be. It could have some downsides to it though. They have tested it successfully both on animals and humans.

I think the pill could be helpful for people who have a fear over something really bad, and it interferes with their life. Otherwise, I really don't see the point in the pill because you can't be scared of something that bad.

A Problem

A problem that I have in life is that I procrastinate everything. For instance, I put all of my speech homework to a last minute thing so I have a lot of homework to do in a short amount of time.

To make this problem go away, I plan to try to do some of my homework earlier or break it down so I do not have to do so much homework all in one night.

Valentine's Day

I have wrestling districts this weekend so most of my Valentine's Day consists of watching wrestling and wrestling. On the morning of Valentine's Day, I will wake up early to check my weight if I won a match the previously night. If I don't win on Friday, I will probably eat like a pig on Saturday morning. If I am wrestling Saturday, I hope to place so I can go to state, but if I'm not wrestling, I will cheer on my teammates and continue to keep eating. After the wrestling meet gets over, we will probably go to Valentino's eat the buffet there. I will eat as much as I can there even if I am going to state because I can't give up Valentino's. I will probably then go to the basketball game and hang out with my friends. My Valentine's Day will end up with me going to bed really late.

If I Was a Food...

If I was a food, I probably would be an ice cream cone. I love ice cream cones and being one would be awesome. Everyone likes ice cream so I would be loved by everybody. I would be popular and cool. People would want me on a hot day to cool them down and other people would want me on any day because I taste so darn good. I would work at Dairy Queen being one of the characters that are on the bags and stuff. Being an ice cream cone would be okay.

Me a Superhero

If I was a superhero I would have the ability to change something into anything I want it to be. I would not tell anyone about me being a superhero because I would want to be left alone. I could be rich and never have to worry about my finances since I could change trash to money. I would not have to work so I could spend most of my time doing fun things. I would live out my life going places and doing whatever I want because I would not have to worry about money. I would also probably donate a lot of money to organizations that really need it so they can help people.

7 Choices I made Over the Weekend

1. I decided to not go to the game Friday night because I needed to run.
2. I decided on Friday night to run at home because I thought I ate too much.
3. I decided to wake up at 6:05 on Saturday morning so I could get ready for a Wrestling Meet.
4. I decided to eat 5 pieces of pizza and a pop Saturday night because I didn't have to make weight for a week.
5. I decided to go to the game on Saturday night since I didn't have anything else going on.
6. I decided on Sunday to have two more pops and continue to eat like a pig because I like to eat food, and I had a chance to eat.
7. I decided to go to bed early Sunday night because I was tired from wrestling on Saturday.

Digital History

The topic for my digital history is the shootings at Kent State. There were protests for the Invasion of Cambodia and there were a lot of big protests at the Kent State College. Then the National Guard shot some students who were not ordered to fire. The shooting still has a lot of impact today because it affected many families and friends. It will still be an impact in the future because of these deaths.

Perspective Change

A night on the town:

My night on a Friday night as myself.
I would go have fun with my friends in Norfolk. My friends and I would probably go to Wal-Mart and mess around there. If it wasn't wrestling season, we would also go to Taco John's and have a Six Pack and a Pound. Then we would go to one of our houses and spend the night there.

My night as Homer Simpson.
If I was Homer Simpson, I would go to work at the factory and probably mess up doing something. After that, I would go home and choke Bart because I would be mad at him for making fun of me. To finish off the night, I would go to the bar and drink some beer.

My night as a girl.
If I was a girl going out to anything, I probably would take hours getting ready because I would have to decide what to wear and other stuff. Then I would go do something really boring and go home and talk to my friends for hours at a time.

My night if I was living in the 1950's.
If I was living in the 1950's I probably would be living on a farm. I would have to put on my work clothes and start doing chores all night like milking cows and have no fun with my friends because I would be to busy working on the farm. I would then go to bed at 8:30 since I have to wake up early in the morning again to milk cows again in the morning.

My night if I was a fish.
If I was a fish, I would spend my whole time trying to survive. I would have to swim away from all of the sharks and other fish that would eat me, and I would have to avoid being caught by fisherman. I would also have to find food so I don't go hungry, but I would not eat the worm that is floating in the middle of nowhere. After finding a sufficient enough food, I would have to keep swimming around because if I stopped swimming I probably would get eaten or caught.

My night if I was a caveman.
Being a caveman, I would have to hunt mammoths so I could support my family. I would sharpen my spears and rocks so it would be easier to kill them. Then I would go out with the other cavemen and try to track down a mammoth. I would then grunt when I find one and then we would fight the mammoth. A couple of the cavemen would die, but I would not die. I would cut off the meat and bring it back to my family. We would have great supper of eating raw meat.

Achieving My Goals

I have not achieved my short term goals because I did not place at the Battle Creek Invite, and I haven't won at every wrestling tournament that I have gone to. So far I am achieving my long term goals because I have all A+'s right now.

My M&M Speech

Today I gave my M&M speech, and I think I did fairly well. I thought I made good eye contact, and I thought I seemed more calm throughout the speech. I felt more relaxed giving the speech than I have before so I think so far that this is my best speech that I have given. I did though forget some stuff in my speech. I forgot to say one of my sources and to show one of my visual aids, and I forgot some of the facts in my speech. I probably could have practiced a little bit more, but otherwise I think i couldn't have done anything else. So overall, my speech was okay.

Practicing My Speech

In Speech class, we are doing informative speeches. The speech is due tomorrow, and we are supposed to practice them tonight. To practice my speech, I am going to probably go through my speech a couple times tonight at home. I will also time my speech to make sure that it is longer than four minutes. I will probably say it to my family so it will be like I am giving it to the class. I will also make sure that my visual aids are ready and make sure that my title slide is done for tomorrow. I will really have to try though to get myself motivated to actually practice tonight though. So my night is basically working on and practicing my speech tonight.

Speech Class

I am in Speech class that is taught by Mrs. Bauermeister at Pierce High. I am taking Speech because I want to get better at talking in front of other people. I know that I have to make speeches in the future so I want to be good at it. I am not the best at making speeches, but I feel that I am getting better at it now that I am in Speech. I am learning how to make better speeches and how to present speeches. Speech class is fun most of the time because your not constantly doing work, and it is not serious all the time. Plus, I get a lot of time to do my homework so I usually don't have to do a lot of work at home. The people in my class make speech fun, but sometimes that can be a bad thing. Currently, I am doing an informative speech over M&M's.

MY FAVORITE SPORT

My favorite sport would have to be Track. Anyone can do track because there are a lot of events in track that people can do. The field events are pole vault, long jump, high jump, discus, shot, and triple jump. The running events are the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 4 x 100, 4 x 400, and the 4 x 800. Last year I ran in the 4 x 800 and in the 800 meter run because I am better at running longer distances. I also competed in pole vault. I medaled a lot last year in the 4 x 800 and once in pole vault. I also like track because your not only striving to medal yourself, but to win overall as a team. This year in track I want to get faster and improve my time.

Our School Computers

At Pierce High, every student gets a laptop to help them with learning. Some people like them, and other people don't like them. Sometimes the computers are very nice, but other times they are a nuisance. I like the idea of having them, but you can't do a lot with them. A lot of the stuff on the computer is blocked because some of the students play games during school or other stuff like that. I use my computer a lot because I am in classes where they are needed. I have heard though that some kids really don't use their computers except for checking announcements or their grades. I guess the computers are helpful and make things easier so I would say having them is a good idea.

My One Wish

If I had one wish, I really would not know what to do with it. I would probably spend forever trying to think of the perfect wish. I probably would wish that I would have the perfect life I could have. That probably would sum up all of the other wishes into one wish. If I had a perfect life, I probably would be rich, have a good job, have a nice big house with a bunch of cars and a boat, and have other stuff like that. I would live out my life on earth happy, and I would not have to worry about anything ever again.

Favorite Book

One of my favorite book has to be the seventh Harry Potter book called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows created by J.K. Rowling. I liked it because it tied up the whole entire Harry Potter Series. I like knowing why things happened and knowing a lot about the characters in the stories. I thought the book also had a great ending. Another one of my favorite books is Earthbound by Orson Scott Card. He writes a lot of science fiction books, and science fiction is my favorite genre. This book is also in a series that talks about people on a different planet trying to get back to earth. This book is my favorite out of the series because it is the most exciting one.

Pierce High's School Lunches

Pierce's school lunches are sometimes questionable. Some of the food makes you wonder what's even in it. For instance, the pizza burger they served us yesterday looked really weird. I didn't get to eat it though because I had to diet for wrestling. There is some good food though. The fiestadas are very good and are probably one of my favorite school lunches. Another problem with the school lunches is that they sometimes don't even feed us enough food. They will only give us an entree and two other things. If they would just give us more good food, I don't think anyone would complain about lunch.

My Favorite Class

My favorite class was last year's band class. I was able to hang out with my friends every day, and in band you don't have any homework. It's also fun to make music. When I get done with a song, I feel like I have accomplished something. I also get study time in band so if I need extra time doing my homework I can do it during study hall. Because I did band last year, I was able to go on the band trip to Chicago. Going to Chicago was really fun.

After High School

I plan to go to college after high school. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I know I want to go into the medical field. In the medical field, I want to become some kind of doctor because I like helping people and making a lot of money. If I can't do that, I'll probably try to become some kind of engineer. My future after high school is open right now since I don't know what I'm going to be.

Obama's Inauguration

Barack Obama was inaugurated today. When he was giving his speech, you could see that it was really cold outside because you could see his breath. It probably felt even colder to him because he was wearing just a suit. The speech I thought was long, but I usually don't listen to speeches. He covered a lot of main points about today's problems. The crowd was really excited I think when Obama talked. I think Obama is very good at delivering speeches.

Galveston, Texas

My favorite place that I have visited is Galveston, Texas. My family and I got to see the Gulf of Mexico. It was my first time seeing an ocean. It was really fun swimming in the ocean with the waves, but stepping on unknown things in the water was kind of scary. At the hotel, my dad would throw bread up at the seagulls, and the seagulls would surround us. We did a lot of sight-seeing and wandering around in Galveston. We had a fun time visiting Galveston.

MY FAVORITE BAND?

I really don't have a favorite band, but I do listen to some music. My top bands are Linkin Park, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Three Days Grace, Boys Like Girls. I can't list ten bands because I don't listen to a lot of music.

2day i hafta blog in txt. its rlly hrd to do b/c i dont txt a lot. im not sur y we hafta do tis, but i ges it cood b wors. i aint got a lot 2 tlk of 2day. i prbly tink 2 hrd 4 tis pst b/c tis is tkin way 2 lng. that is all i hafta say 4 tis post. ill pst agin 2moro. see ya.

MY GOALS

My goal for this week is to place at the wrestling invite at Battle Creek. My goal for this month is to win at least once in every wrestling tournament I go to. My goal for this term is to get all A's in my classes at school. Another goal of mine is to get a job this summer to prepare myself for college.

Infomercials

I think infomercials are funny to watch sometimes. The people on them always have that funny look on their face. It's really funny to watch the ones that sell products that are suppose to make your life easier like the Magic Bullet. It is pretty much a blender with a different name on it. I don't know if I would spend that much money to get something that I could get at the store. The funniest thing though on every infomercial is when they say that if you call and order one now you can get another one for free.

ME

This is my second day of blogging, and I have added a picture of me. The picture doesn't look that good because I am bad at taking pictures. I'm still not excited about doing this, but I want to pass this assignment so I will do it anyway. I am tired today and feel like going to bed. I am also very hungry right now.

Why I Do This?

My name is Logan Sudbeck, and I am a sophmore in High School. I am blogging because it is an assignment that I have to do so I will be blogging for awhile. I will be participating in the 30-Day Challenge. I have to blog every day for the next 30 days. I am not looking forward to this because it sounds like a lot of work.
