Colleges

I choose these colleges because they all meet the requirements for good colleges.  These colleges stand out because they are small colleges, which I feel is perfect for me.  Also the cost of the schools are right for me, not too cheap, not too expensive, just right.  Plus, these schools have great majors for subjects that I am good at, such as Mathematics or Chemistry.  If I had to choose 3 out of the 6 colleges that I originally chosen, I would choose Brown University, Stanford University, and the University of Pennsylvania.  These three colleges fit all the requirements for a good college in my eyes.

Social Media Revolution

I think that this social media revolution thing is pretty crazy.  After watching the video, it made me think that the internet is the most used thing in the world.  A lot of people use many sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.  It is not only kids using these sites either, adults are using these sites from ages 55-60.

Another CNN Current

A man who pleaded guilty to perpetrating a hoax by saying his 6-year-old son was drifting over Colorado in a balloon began his jail sentence Monday.  This man was unaware of his child not being in the balloon, but regardless, he is guilty.  The judge sentenced Him to spend 90 days in custody. He will spend 30 days and nights in jail but is eligible for work release during the last 60 days of his sentence, said Linda Jensen, a spokeswoman for the district attorney.

He told authorities in October that his son, Falcon, was drifting over eastern Colorado in a homemade balloon that had come loose from its moorings in the family’s backyard. Authorities raced to track the balloon while puzzling over ways to rescue the boy inside.  To me, this is such an unfair punishment, He never tried to harm anyone nor fool them.

CNN current event

My Made-up Story

Once upon a time there was a guy named Bob and Bob had the super power to fly around.  One day Bob came across this never ending wall which he had never seen before.  Bob was curious so he flew over the wall and saw a tree that started talking to him.  The tree told Bob that there was a sacred box o’ chocolates (in the shape of a heart) in Africa that Bob must give to the tree.  Bob went to Africa and got the box for the tree.  However, when Bob gave the box’ o chocolates to the tree it was empty.  The tree got mad at Bob and ate him for Dinner.

THE END!!!

My opinion to the quote on mrs. Fagan’s Blog

To me the quote means that in order to be popular, you can not do the right things, you have to do the wrong things.  Although, by being popular, you are usually never doing the right things because you are following other.  If your don’t follow the other popular people, it will affect your popularity.

Tsunami warning

According to scientists, an earthquake has occurred and could be a threat to many people because there is a chance of a tsunami.  One of the scientists said, “Weighing back there also is the effect of your decision. If the effect of your decision is going to evacuate the entire West Coast waterfront, you don’t want to take that lightly.”  This is a very serious thing at hand because they have very little time to decide whether to alert the people or to say it is a false alarm, the pressure is on.
