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.
