I never ever thought I would say this next sentence, but here it goes: I agree with President George Bush. Yep, as much as I hate it, he's finally right about something. At the upcoming G-8 summit with leaders from 8 of the world's most powerful nations, the most prominent topic will be increasing aid/reducing debt for poor nations in Africa. The ( Read more... )

I don't usually do these quizzes, but I had some time and this one seemed interesting...

As most of you know, part of Real Life is a gigantic portfolio, in which we have to put a number of things, including a college application. Part of this application is an essay. When I saw that one of the choices was "Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and it's importance to you.", I was pretty pumped, since ( Read more... )

I have found yet another fun way to procrastinate, and it even has a hint of educational value.  I don't know how many of you are familiar with it, but Wickipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) is an outstanding site that has been a great deal of help with some brutal APUSH assignments.  Anyone can update it, but the information is still ( Read more... )

So as most of you know I'm running for class president for next year, and I want to hear people's ideas about what they think could be changed/made better. I'm not talking about silly stuff like longer lunches or no more homework, but I think most of you are more mature than that.

I thought it was rather frightening how racy these toys were, so I decided to give MGA Entertainment(the company that markets the toys), some feedback. Here it is ( Read more... )

  Well it's been a couple weeks since I updated, due to a lot of stuff the week before vacation and my trip to Florida. Overall, the trip was pretty good. The weather, of course, was great, 80s and sunny everyday. It was a typical Cabana vacation, which means we did alot.  The night we got there it took us about 45 minutes to find our hotel, which ( Read more... )

Wow, sure has been a while since I updated here. Lots has happened. I enjoyed the college trip, mainly because I got to go to Northeastern again and Boston is my favorite city. I know I'm only a sophomore, and there is plenty of time, but if I had to apply to college today, Northeastern would be my first choice. Anyway, on Thursday, I was ( Read more... )

  This week ended just soon enough...I don't think I could have made it through another school day and another evening with loads of homework. I was pretty stressed with just about everything, and I was just about to crack. I almost did last night, but I held it together for the most part. I plan on spending most of tonight playing mindless video ( Read more... )
