1. I’m thankful for delicious food  that we get to eat each year. The for is always the best and my favorite.

2. I’m thankful for my family and the time that we get to spend together. We have had medical problems in our family and some of them might not be here today if it hadn’t been for very talented doctors to help them. So I’m thankful that they are all healthy.

3. I’m chocolate milk.  It’s probably my favorite and I don’t know what else I would drink at school.

4. My friends are the best! We always have a great time whenever we are together.  There is never a dull moment to be found. There is always something to talk about and we always have a good laugh:) I’m thankful for my friends.

5. I’m thankful that my sister is coming from Chicago for the holidays. I get to see my neices and nephew and it’s going to be so fun because I don’t get to see them often. 

6. I’m thankful for Black Friday. Even though I can’t go this year, it is so fun and its a good way to get cheap gifts because of all the awesome sales.

7. I’m thankful for heater that I have a heater in my room, or else I would freeze in the winter because it is so cold in Iowa.

8. I’m thankful that Western is very blessed with athletic talents so that the fans can go to State. I love State its the best thing ever.

9. I’m thankful for cheese cake. This is probably my favorite dessert of all time. I love cheese cake especially strawberry, but I like all kinds.

10.  I’m thankful for soccer because it is my favorite sport to play. I love it!:)

These pictures are form an old e-mail that I got from my sister. I found it and almost wanted to cry, but tears of joy. These pictures show how great God is and all that He has created. I would love to see these pictures in real life. I would love to see the power of God’s handiwork in the earth today. To see all the wonderful things that He has done. Please look at these pictures and just stop( for 1 minute) and take the time to say the Lord’s Prayer.

So I’m kind of a fan of optical illusions. I love the way that they work. They make you mind think in different ways. We are talking in my soicology class about left and right brained poeple.

I was just messing around on the computer at school and looking at pictures. I started with just looking at waterfalls; then I thought of Nigara Falls. I found this pictures. They are so beautiful and shocking to me. I never realized that Nigara Falls ever froze over. After seeing this picturs it makes me want to go to the Falls even more.  I think it would be an awesome vacation spot to go.

This weeks challenge is all about digital footprints. A person can have a positive or a negative footprint, it just all depends on what you have on the internet about yourself. A positive i digital footprint is about what people can see about you when they search for you in the internet. A future employer and and teachers can search your name to see what you have been up to in the past and to see if you have behaved.

I think I have a pretty decent sized positive digital footprint. I have found comments that I have left on other peoples blogs, my e-mail address, my name in the Western Witness, in my bulletin, in the football roster, on Facebook, that I was Miss Doon and Miss Congeniality. I have never put any pictures on myself drinking or any of that other stuff because I just don’t do those kind of things. You can have way more fun without being drunk. I always have positive things on my Facebook; I try to leave good comments on peoples pictures or write good things on their walls.

I also think that you chould only give out personal information to anything formal or business like. Giving it out to Amazon or Ebay or Facebook. You can hide alot of information on Facebook so people can’t see them. Whne you are buying something on Ebay or Amazon it’s a good thing to give or information because you could get charged with fraud and that could turn out to be a bad situation.

For me to know what kind of stuf to put on the Interne; I have learned from lots of people. My parents really don’t know much about the Internet so they are not that much help. But my teachers, friends, and other family memebers make sure that I don’t do put anything bad or wrong on the Internet.

It’s very hard to know what is acceptable to put on the Internet today because I believe that there are many morals that being lost. Some people think its perfectly okay to put pictures of drinking and other things on the Internet and that is wrong. You could lose a very good job from the mistakes that you made by putting things on the Internet.

I had been talking to Shantelle during Physics and she told me to look up Nick Pitera. This is what I found so enjoy.

Over the part couple of days we have been working on commonly mistaken words. This post is filled with them.

My senior year is almost a fourth of the way over. It’s kind of sad if you think about it. One minute you’re a freshman and then all of a sudden you’re a senior. As a senior there are many acceptable behaviors. We’re the ones that the underclassmen look up to. We lead the school at many events and have to be conscious of the affect that we have on others. We have to have a conscience and have descent behavior as well. Besides the underclassmen our principal looks to us, too. I believe that we have to follow the principle behaviors that we know. We have already seen the effect that the discipline has had on others, and we don’t want to have what they had. As seniors more is asked of us than less. I believe that it’s a seniors right to lay down the principles for the underclassmen. I have learned two main things through high school. One you can’t desert a friend, except if they choose to throw your friendship away. It’s not your fault that they’re the one who drift further apart and lose interest. Also you have to find a way to keep peace among friends and in school. There are some whose main reason for being in school everyday is to illicit bad behavior from others. Every day in school you see that one person who’s drifting farther and farther away. I think as a senior besides the social setting; we’re asked to do our work thoroughly. I feel as if I’m loosing breathing ground because I’m slowly beginning the decent toward the end. Where are you going to college is a question that will try to elicit answers from you. I believe that many seniors see their life going to pieces because they don’t know what to do with their life. I have to take a deep breathe, sit down and relax, or just go and lie down in my bed to take myself away from the world. I feel that I can’t have my dessert are eat it too. We have to choose between colleges and what you want to do for the rest of your life. Few kids have this decision all ready made. I’m very jealous of those people because I don’t know what is in store for me. These next couple of months is going to be very interesting. But I’m up for the challenge and where it’s going to bring me. I can’t wait!

This article of “Educators blame Internet for rise in student cheating“ was kind of an eye opener for me. I never realized that people would take whole papers off the Internet and just hand them in to be graded. I can’t believe that people don’t have a conscience when they do this. This would make me feel terrible if I did this because I would know that it wasn’t my work but someone elses.  I do think that in high school today that it is very easy for the kids to plariarse and cheat. Some teachers just get lazy and don’t want to grade the papers or the students are lazy and don’t want to do the work. Many kids look for the easy way out and shortest way. There are so many ways the we can cheat. It’s ridicolous. I think that we need to enforce these rules very much.  I know that it may not be the best thing to teach but it is very smart for the students to know. They will need to use this all through college and in high school. In my nephews grade school; they will not let them copy anything from an article but instead they must paraphrase. I even tried to explain this to him and he really didn’t understand. But I believe that the rules of plagiariasm and quoting must be taught in grade school so that they realize what’s wrond and right.  Also teachers should be taught how to recongize if one of their students works has been plagiarsed.  Once they realize how to do this I believe that much of the plagiarism will stop.

So I was just messing around on the Internet and this is want I found for something interesing.

1. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.

2. It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

3. One human hair can support 3kg.

4. Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

5.The attachment of human muscles to skin is what causes dimples.

6.Women blink twice as much as men.

7.If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he
died.

8.A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.

9.Your thumb is the same length of your nose.

10. Also your FOOT is the same length as your for arm (from your wrist to where
your elbow bends)!  Did you know that?

11.When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, they do the
same when you are looking at someone you hate.

12.The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as their brain.

Let me guess you checked to see if numbers 10 and 11 were true?  Don’t worry I did the same thing.  Some of theses things are amazing.  So enjoy!
