March 21, 2013: Too Cold for Sports

Today we are scheduled to play a softball game. We are nearing the end of March so the weather should be warming up like it does every year. Unfortunately, we are supposed to be receiving snow! That is unbelievable! It is currently 38 degrees outside and when I walked over to lunch a little bit ago my breath was visible when I exhaled.

At lunch, I saw our coach for baseball because we both have a game scheduled. He kindly said, "It's gonna be a cold one." I responded with "Yeah, I can see my breath outside therefore it's not softball season." However I have yet to hear the game is cancelled although I am hoping because it is extremely cold outside.

March 20, 2013: What an Outrage

On an extremely hot summer day, Taylor Swift was on her way to rehearsal for her performance that night. It was important because she needed the rehearsal to prepare for the kickoff of her new tour. After all, this night's performance was the first one of the tour and she really wanted to please her fans. Taylor was attempting to console her nerves and not paying much attention to the world around her when she came upon this massive truck. She had no idea what it was hauling and didn't care too much. However, she should have paid more attention because the truck was loaded with tarter sauce. The truck apparently was not well insulated because the heat had affected the storage of the tarter sauce. When she became closer to the truck she could tell it was leaking something but again did not know what. Just as she was driving by, the door to the truck burst open and tarter sauce came spewing out. It quickly found a spot in her convertible and all over herself. She quickly slammed on her brakes screaming at what an outrage this was. The entire scene was priceless and the media immediately started making stories. Needless to say she did not make it to her rehearsal.

This story is completely fictious and does not in any way represent reality.

March 19, 2013: Facebook

Facebook seems to be quite popular with today's society. Most people have a Facebook account and many depend on it. It is as if they are addicted. People constantly post everything they are doing as if it is their journal but what those people don't realize is that everything they post stays on the internet even if they delete it. These things can follow them for the rest of their lives. It may disappear for awhile but it will always come back. One day when someone wants a job, the employer could go online and research them. Old pictures from their Facebook account could pop up and they may not all be the best pictures of a prospective employee. Therefore, because they did  not correctly use their Facebook, it could keep them from getting a job. Also, a lot of creepers/stalkers can get on Facebook and look up people. They could be anyone and are most likely not who they say they are. It could be potentially dangerous, especially to those naive people htat aren't aware of what could happen. In my personal opinion, Facebook is only good when people use it honestly and correctly but in today's world that is not common.

March 14, 2013: The Doctor's Office

The doctor's office is wonderful. I get to leave school in the middle of the day. My favorite time to leave is right before lunch because I miss my most dreaded class. Also, I miss lunch so I get to eat good food instead of the school food or whatever I can manage to bring for lunch.

Unlike most people, going to the doctor's office doesn't bother me. I actually like it because it makes me feel better. Like today, I was super excited because I had developed an extremely bad sinus infection. I got a shot and I feel much better. The doctor's office is great.

March 13, 2013: To Billy's Surprise

Billy was an ordinary guy who liked most "guy" things. He had blue eyes and a thick head of sandy blond hair. It was gorgeous hair, well kept and rather fluffy, much like that of a woman's. It should have been this way because he fixed his hair everyday and blow dried it after every shower. Billy was headed to pick up a new blow dryer in his vehicle after his favorite blow dryer had unfortunately broke. For some reason, unknown to him because he was preoccupied thinking about his new blow dryer, his car unexpectedly broke down, as well. It was definitely not his day. However, fortunately for him, right across the street from where he broke down than was a mechanic shop. He quickly walked over and asked to speak with the mechanic. Billy was astounded when a beautiful female walked out, shook his hand, and asked what the problem was. Billy blushed because he did not know and immediately felt inferior to this woman. She walked out to the car, wrench in hand, and easily fixed his vehicle with seemingly one twist. Billy went on about his day and bought his new hairdryer but he finally realized that there was more to life than his hairdryers.

March 12, 2013: Coca-Cola

Coke is an amazing soda. It tastes just right, not too sweet like Mountain Dew or too plain like Sprite. It is the only dark soda I will drink because it doesn't leave a weird after taste. I don't particularly like soda much anymore but when I do I usually get Coke especially if it is a fountain drink. It can sometimes taste a little funny out of a bottle, especially if it is old or hot. Hot sodas aren't good.

The red color of all things Coke are very attractive. It's bright and appealing to the eye. That is probably one of the many reasons they chose it. Also, you see the bright red emblem everywhere on cups and T-shirts and on billboards for advertisement. They do this because so many people like Coca-Cola

March 11, 2013: Ties vs. Bow Ties

Ties and bow ties are both worn around the neck but can be worn with different attire. Typically men are the ones who wear them. However, women sometimes do to make a certain outfit.

To me, ties seem more formal. I think they look nicer and they are actually my preference to see on people. They are usually worn with more formal clothing such as button-down shirts and khakis. Regular ties can be tied in so many different ways that can completely change the way the tie looks.

Bow ties on the otherhand are less formal in my opinion. They can be worn with less dressy clothing and it looks okay. Bow ties seem to be universal though because they can be worn with dressy clothing as well.

March 7, 2013: Beta Convention

I am going to attend Beta convention this weekend. I am super excited about it. I've been told it's super fun. Everyone that has went in the past always talks about what a great trip it was. I have never been before so I am greatly looking forward to it.

There is a lot to do. We are going earlier than the students usually do so we will be able to see everything. All of the performances and skits are said to be neat to watch. I'm eager to observe the abilities of the different groups that do performances. I'm not sure what other areas can be competed in but I know there are more categories.

Also, I get to spend an entire weekend in Branson which the school pays for. On Friday, we are going shopping too because we will have some time to kill before the first General Session tomorrow night. Then Saturday I'm not sure what to expect but Sunday will be an easy day because I believe we are just coming home.

The only bad thing I can foresee is the horrible five hour ride on a bus. Other than that small inconvenience this trip should be a great experience.

March 6, 2013: Unfortunate Timing

One day Tina decided to get her friends together and go down to the county fair. It had just come to town and she had been greatly looking forward to it. It was a rather beautiful day- the air was warm on her skin, the wind blew a gentle breeze and the air was fresh and clean. They went down to the fair and were greatly enjoying themselves when this large flock of pigeons mysteriously appeared. At first, the friends ignored their appearance but it became impossible when the birds flew closer to the ground and started squawking and making a great deal of noise. The group was still trying to enjoy their day when the most unexpected thing happened. One of the pigeons had relieved itself and it went straight into Tina's hair. She screamed and ran to the small, old building that housed the bathrooms. As she was cleaning her head, she caught wind of the smell and it sickened her. She turned around to the toilets in just enough time. She was absolutely disgusted. She managed to clean her hair although it was soaking wet when she returned to her friends. They left immediately.

March 5, 2013: A New Hairdo

Tomorrow I am going to go to have my hair done. I am super excited! It's a strange feeling though because I have no idea what I am getting done to it. I like a variety of shades that makes one's hair have dimensions and I also want a different style.

I have several different color schemes in mind but I'm not sure which one to go with. Also, for my style, I know I want something different but I'm not sure how different. I don't particularily like myself with short hair so I will probably stay long.

I may just go to the salon tomorrow and have my hairdresser do as she likes. She is awesome. She knows the best coors to put together and what colors look good on different people. She is a perfectionist so everything will turn out right.


I'm superexcited and cannot wait!

March 4, 2013: Yes or No

Which do you prefer- yes or no? This was the question awaiting us today upon arriving to class. My immediaate answer was it depends on the question. This seemed to be the general consensus of the class. I mean it is the answer that makes the most sense. How could one say they'd like to hear one answer but have no idea what the question is?

Frankly, I do not think one could. Of course if the question was something one wanted they would wish to hear yes. However what if the question was "Did you drop my phone in the puddle?" I think everyone can agree they would rather hear no.

So this brings me to my conclusion. One cannot decide which answer they prefer without a specific question but I do believe most people would probably pick the answer that brought them the most positive outcome.

March 1, 2013: Integrity

Integrity is defined as being honest and having strong moral principles according to Google dictionary. Based on this definition, integrity is a very important word and quality. It is quite rare in today's time that one can find someone who possesses the quality of integrity. Most people are unconcerned with this quality. They tend to look out more for themselves and try to have things their way regardless of the cost, whether lying or cheating.

Integrity is an important quality in a friend. No one wants the friend that lies. Most people also don't want anything to do with the person who would inflict harm just to gain something small. Nor would they want the person who is using them to get by. Integrity is quite important to those people who are actually looking for friends because the quality of integrity makes one a better person.
