NINCOMPOOP>? YOUcompoop!

I do agree that our generation is being perhaps crippled by technology and has led to a media-fed age of children growing up with less tactical skills and instead knowing what myspace is, or how to tevo their afternoon spongebob episode. However, I don't think its appropriate for this author to pass judgement on our generation as "the dumbest" where I'm sure any other generation has its fair share of ignorant, incompetent, no nothings. 
This very topic arouse in a recent conversation I had with a friend, who had sent me something he wrote. He asked, "what do you think of it?" and I told him, "it is really good, honestly." He then said, "thank you, my friends told me it was good too but what do they know, all they read is facebook statuses all day." This is sad but true. I can also surely say that literature and reading are a dying species as we continue to enter the world of touch screen phones and playaways. But, to each his one and if one is a nincompoop in this generation they would have surely been one in another.

TV!

I really like the cash cab "its a TV show that takes place right here in my taxi cab, wanna play" as the host ben bailee would say. I like it not only to learn new information but to also test myself with random knowledge. I also really like Fantasy Factory. A show following the life and adventures of professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek. Another must watch for me, since i was in the seventh grade is Law and Order SVU. The new season premiered yesterday and is still going strong. TV is nice but so is other things so be amused not consumed.

Improve?

I would want to improve the structure of the school. I would raise the ceilings about four feet and add windows. This school definitely needs windows. This place is asphyxiating and needs more natural sunlight. I hate when i see other schools and they have these light and airy classrooms and I think about Beta and our nasty little dungeons. So, in conclusion, that is what i would change or improve, WINDOWS and CEILINGS, and some plants would be nice too.

Constitution Day

Although, the Fourteenth amendment may be abused by some, specifically immigrants who come and have their children here to gain the benefits of being citizen, it is a constitutional amendment none the less. As such, it must me respected and perhaps it should be other policies in our government that should be amended to help fix the controversy people are having with people claiming citizenship in our country.

First Day

The first day of school had no real impression. Unlike all the other first days of school I was not full with anxiety, or nervousness, or happiness, or anything at all. Perhaps it was because the last three years left me devoid of any future "first day jitters". Beside the introduction to some new teachers, nothing new this year really affected me. The parking lot, i could care less, all other new teachers I could care less than less. So lets have an awesome rest of the year YAY!

Freshman Failure?

My advice to a freshman would be to work hard, while also enjoying school. I think the best advice is trying to balance the best of both worlds. I know that this is hard when you are a  young naive and intimidated freshman coming into the new world of high school. but this is the advice I would want to be given. To not focus on your homework and classes, I think is the biggest mistake freshman make. They don't think that passing English is important or learning how to factor is something they'll need, but what they need to  know is that it is. It is important. I know alot of people who wished now as seniors that they had tried harder as freshman, that their rank could be higher if they had just gotten the As and Bs they know they could have because back then they didn't know they would never be able to make up for that year. They didn't realize, your GPA starts now. This is the advice i would give to most; however there is another spectrum of students one which I fell under as a freshman. I was A petrified straight A student terrified to fail. Working hard in my classes and being responsible was always my work ethic. The advice i needed was failure is a part of life and from mistakes you grow stronger. What i needed was to know that stressing out over a Biology exam wasn't the key. The answer was trying your best, preparing with time, and having confidence in your mind that you were prepared. High school is what you make it out to be. It is a time to grow and a time  to experience a fraction of what the world has to offer. Take every opportunity, try your best, and live because this is  your time.

My best friend Alexxa found me this picture and set it as my desktop. I really love octopi; they're really beautiful and intelligent creatures.

I went to my training today at the South Texas Museum, and i was enjoying some snacks that they had given us. So i ask my friend regina to open my water bottle, while my other friend alexxa gave me the kitkat bar i had asked her for i went to put the kitkat bar on my lap with the same hand i had the waterbottle, but like a Dumbie i forgot it was open and turned my hand to drop it on my lap and all the water gushed out on my lap. I had a swamp on my lap and so the whole rest of the day i had to walk around with damp jeans and a huge wet spot that looked like i had peed myself. boo.!
