Life Lesson

This week in computers, we have to blog about an event in our life that has taught us a valuable lesson and we have to explain what that lesson was. The event in my life would have to be when I was at Pikes Peak in Colorado. We were taking a picture by the sign and there were a bunch of boulders around it. There was also a lake and my sister and my cousin ran down to the lake. I was in such a hurry to get down there, that I jumped of the sign and slammed my knee on one of the boulders. I split my knee open and it kept bleeding because there was nowhere to go and I couldn't stop the blood. We drove to the top of the mountain and I had to get stitches. I now have a scar on my knee and it will probably be there for the rest of my life. The lesson is to be careful when I make sudden decisions to jump of a rock when no one is around that can help me. I commented on Mary Huether's blog Mrs. Brown.

Halloween Video

For computer class we had to do a podcast on our favorite scary movie. Halloween was the movie that I chose. It is not the scariest one I've seen, but it is still my favorite. We had to add a video from the movie that we chose and this is the video that I added from the original Halloween movie.

My Report Card

The first quarter just got over and we should be getting our report cards very soon. I am kind of nervous about seeing mine because I am not sure how well I did. I am still confident in my grades though because I have been getting pretty good grades in most of my classes so far. There are a couple of classes I am concerned about, but hopefully I did good in them. I am still very anxious to see it and I hope it comes soon! I commented on Ben Whetstone's blog Mrs. Brown.

Things to do before I die

Most people come up with a list of things they want to do before they die. This week we have to write about 10 things we would want to do before we die. I have many things in mind but here are my top 10:

1. I want to see the Chicago Cubs win a world series.
2. I want to go hunting with my cousin up in Wisconsin.
3. I want to go back to New York City.
4. I want to see a Chicago Bears game.
5. I want to meet a famous baseball player from back in the day.
6. I want to go to Germany because I take German.
7. I want to go back to Niagara Falls .
8. I want to go back to Colorado and go White Water Rafting.
9. I want to take guitar lessons.
10. Finally, I want to go skydiving.

New Peoria Logo

For our next blog assignment we are supposed to go to logopeoria.com to vote on our Peoria's next logo. Personally I didn't like any of them and I don't think that they should be changing the logo in the first place. I decided to vote for one anyways. I voted for the third one in the first row. If I had to pick one this would be my favorite because it looks normal and it has a nice view of the city. I still think that they should keep the same logo that we have now though. I commented on Tyler Horst's blog Mrs. Brown.

My Favorite Halloween Costume

When I was in second grade, I was a Washington Redskins football player for Halloween. I remember going to the store and buying this. I wanted to be a Chicago Bears football player but they were all out of them. I decided to be this because my dad used to play on the AA football team for the Washington Redskins. This was my favorite Halloween costume of all time. I remember Trick-Or-Treating in it and it was really fun.

This was one of the pictures that I used for my iPhoto project. I chose this because the Cubs are my favorite team and I chose him because he is one of my favorite players on the Cubs.

iPhoto project

This is the project for this week. We have to put 20 pictures on iPhoto and then present it to the class. I finished mine today and I presented mine today. It was a pretty easy project to do. My first twelve letters stand for my first and last name and the other eight pictures had to do with my hobbies. I had pictures of the Cubs, the Bears, Bradley, Illini Basketball, and my favorite music. My favorite music was the band KISS because I used to listen to them when I was little because I liked their makeup. Anyways, this was a very easy project and I had a lot of fun doing this.

Physical Goals

This year at Peoria Notre Dame, I am going to work on my physical goals. This would probably just be being more active than I was last year. I was going to play baseball last year but then I decided not to. This year, I will probably try out for the baseball team. Also, my friends and I always go out and play football, baseball, basketball ,or something instead of doing nothing. We will probably do this more often this year than last year.

Newsletter Project

This week and last week we were working on a newsletter project. It had to do with our school's homecoming. There were two other people in my group. We finished it yesterday and it was an overall success. It was also pretty easy because I had two other people helping me. Our newspaper was called DANSEAMAL because of the first three letters in every group members name. It was a very fun project to do and I hope we get to do more that are as easy as this one was.
