Reflections on Blogging

Well, I don't really mind blogging.  It just depends on the topic.  I never have blogged before this class,  therefore, I just blog when I am told too.  I think I could blog on my own, but I probably wouldn't en up actually doing it.  I think people who blog for money are cool.  Hey, if that's something they like to do, then props to them.  No, I don't read other blogs.  My experiences in this classroom are some good and some bad.  We blogged every Monday, which was pretty neat.  I disliked all the many time-consuming projects we had to do in short periods of time.  However, some of the projects were fun.  Like the movies we made, and some of the pictures we took, and learning Photoshop.  But I wish we would've done more group projects. 

Month of May!

I think someone set up different things to celebrate each month to give you hope and something to look forward too.  After all, you look at Christmas and Halloween and Valentine's Day, people look forward to those, and remember all the things they are thankful for during those days.  So I think that someone did this so that everyday they have something to remember and be thankful for.  Some other things we celebrate in the month of May are Loyalty Day, Cinco de Mayo, Nurses Day, Mothers Day, Batman Day, and Star Wards Day.  One thing I would like to celebrate this month is my best friend.  My best friend happens to be my boyfriend, and he's been there for me for a lot these last couple months, and I am so thankful for it.  We should celebrate it by simply spending time together and going on a cute date.

Topic of My Choice!

My Weekend

 

My weekend started out Friday night.  I started my Friday night catching up on sleep by taking a nice long nap.  Three hours later, I was woke up by my boyfriend.  Then Brandon, my dad, my sister, and I went out to eat at Fiesta Ranchero.  After we ate, I went home and just relaxed and worked on a chemistry extra credit project.  The following day, I went to a house viewing to see a house my dad might be moving into.  I then went out to eat at my favorite restaurant, El Chaps, with Brandon.  After we ate, we went to go see Iron Man 3 with my best friend and her boyfriend.  It was a pretty good movie.  The next day was Mother's Day, however, it was my dad's weekend.  So, I went to the Bard Restaurant at Sauder's Village and ate dinner with my whole dad's side of the family.  It was delicious!  I later went to my Mom's house and spent some time with her.  I gave her a gift card to Barrett's so she could by some flowers to plant at her new house.  Overall it was a laid back but fun weekend.

Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Cinco de Mayo is a traditional Mexican holiday.  It is a day that Mexicans celebrate their independence and freedom.  It is a day that a long, long time ago the Mexican army beat the French in a city called Puebla.  This marked a historic event because even though they didn't win the war, Mexicans did win this battle as underdogs to the French.  This day gave the Mexicans hope.  Everyone should celebrate this holiday, it is a remarkable event. I do believe it should become a national holiday.

National No Homework Day!? I didn't even know there was such a day.  I'm not sure who decided National No Homework Day, but whoever it was was a genius!  I think it is a great idea.  I plan on spending National No Homework Day, by just relaxing with no homework.

Prom!

I think prom is remarkable. Prom is something that even as a little girl you can't way too go to. I do think that prom is somewhat expensive after all the stuff you do to prepare for it, however, it is a once in a lifetime thing, you won't ever get to go to another prom after your senior year; it is something that you will remember forever. I thought prom was really fun, I never even noticed any drama. There wasn't exactly one best moment of the evening, it was all fun just being able to get to spend time with my boyfriend and friends. Everything was fun, from taking cute pictures, to eating at Olive Garden, to dancing at prom, and all the fun activities at after prom. I do think it is important to go to prom, not so much your junior year, but your senior year. It is a high school memory you'll always remember. BOTH prom and after prom, because of course it's always nice getting all dolled up ;)

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!  To me, Earth Day means that is a day we can give back to our environment.  I don't recall ever participating in an actual event for Earth Day, I have done stuff for our environment, but not on Earth Day.  Earth day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 to promote ecology.  Earth Day occurs during the time of the March equinox. Earth Day Networks estimates that 500 million people from 4,500 organizations in 180 countries will participate in Earth Day, in some way, shape, or form.  On Earth Day, you can plant trees, recycle, donate to garage sales, clean up litter, ride your bike, and learn more about the earth and what you can do to help. Earth Day is a great day to give back to the environment! 

Violence on TV!

I think the amount of violence on TV is a little much.  I do think it would be a better idea to have those shows only come on say after 10 pm.  That way younger children aren't exposed to such visual action and what not.  I do not watch violent TV shows myself, I really don't like those shows and they somewhat scare me.  I think TV shows have so much violence because they are considered "cool," and that is the only way a show will get views.  One show that I think has too much violence is the Walking Dead.  I don't like the show myself, but my boyfriend and friends watch it and always talk about it.  However, the one time that I had seen it, I thought it was way to visual with violence.  I think 15 years or older should be the age limit on the show.
