blog war

Nancy and I are in a blog post WAR! But I will win!
Ellen Sliva promised me a chocolate cake, and there isn't one. She PROMISED and didn't come through. This is unacceptable.

Weekend

Hey all
So far, I'm not doing as much as usual this weekend. FINALLY I HAVE NO COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!! Tonight I get to hang with my friend Amelia! I haven't seen her in forever, and she has just started a new charity!! I'm so excited for her! It's called Unite the World to Jump, and the tshirts just came in. All profits for her future fundraisers will go to an orphanage in Zambia. Tomorrow there's the last school dance (Blackout B10wout) of the year, but it's my parents anniversary so I can't go :(. But at least I'll have twenty more to go to the rest of high school. Anyways, everyone is supposed to wear black which would have been really fun. Sunday I get to work on my Latin project (which I haven't started on...), but it won't be too difficult. Welll thats all I got for now.

Wednesday

Our project is coming along great!! Ellie's logo is fantastic, is looks so great!! And Nancy has come up with 7 PAGES of verbs info for us to use.

France and oceans

HELLO BLOGGERS
OCEANS is out so get excited!!!
My friend Ellen got this app called photochop and put a shark behind this one picture of me. It was really funny because Ellen is such a jokester....right now I'm finding French culture for our project, and while getting pictures of French food I got sooo hungry! I'm dying for some French toast! Nancy is finding verb translations, etc, and Ellie is at Wolf Run today. so yep hopefully we'll make some great progress on our project.

internet weirdness

So, I was surfing the web with my friend Ellie today in web design, and since we are so shark savvy we decided to search for "cutie pie shark" pictures on Google.




This is what we found...



internet is strange?

this is a CRAZY week! I got back last night from my advisory's wold run trip, and did homework for about 5 hours! I have endless projects and tests, and exams are in almost a month!! ahh!
Wolf run was fun, and we helped the 5th graders on their overnight. I really hope I wasn't that annoying as a 5th grader...Kirby and I had a lot of fun on the bus! We played Life and name that building :). I missed being with ellie and nancy in web degign though...
Ellen told me a funny expresion she heard: honest to blog. I'm definetly gonna start using that one.
We have a new project in web design. It's to create a web page for someone in the school. I have a few ideas, but none of them are that great. Maybe I'll make for Ellen and sharks? comment with ideas...

dreamweaver

In web design, we've been working with notepad to make HTML pages. We have just started something new, though, called Dreamweaver! It's really cool, and sooo much easier than HTML codes are. All we have to do is type the info up, select colors/fonts, and all the codes are done for us! I think I'm going to like using Dreamweaver a lot!

Friday

Today is Friday! Unfortunatley, Ellie and Nancy are not here. They have left me and gone to ISAS at St. Marks for choir/theatre productions :(. Ellie said they were singling Glee songs (oh yeah!), I really wish I could be there to cheer them on. My brother and dad are at the Master's in Agusta, so its just me, my mom, and our lab Rosie at home!
Tomorrow is gonig to be a very busy day! I have community service from 9-2, then I have to get with my partner to work on our biology project. I'm babysitting my brother tomorrow night because my parents will be at the ESD auction. Sunday, me and my mom have to go to a lunch for the seniors in the mother/daughter charity league we're in.
Monday, my advisory is going to Wolf Run for the night! I'm sxcited because I like my advisory. Kirby and Emily will be there, which is really fun. We're going to be working with the 5th graders and help them with some project.

Tuesday

Pirates of Silicon Valley

In web design class, we just finished watching the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. It is a movie that follows Steve Jobs through his creation of Apple Computers, and Bill Gates and the development of Microsoft and Windows.
Personally, I would rather work for Bill Gates, even though Apple is probably more sucessful in terms of progress (the iPad is amazing!). Steve Jobs was very selfish and bossy, and not in a good way. At first, Jobs and Steve were in it together. But after gaining fame, Jobs didn't care about the company itself, only about the money and being first to develop everything. He was the "villian" to Bill Gates' "hero". Jobs lost his values and denied his family. He only cared for wealth and power.
Bill Gates was a lot "cooler" and composed, and he rarely lost his temper. Jobs ran around the office yelling at everyone all day. I would much rather work in his office, because I believe he would be easier to get along with and more understanding. I think he wouldn't have "lost himself" in the power and fame, and would keep developing computers because it was what he loved.
