Friends

What do you look for in a friend in you ask?  I look for certain qualities in a person.  I look for trust, honesty, and just in there a fun person to be around.  One can have many friends with no limits.  The more the friends the merrier. What really makes a best friend is having someone that knows everything about you and someone that knows how to cheer you up when your down.  A best friend is someone who understands you even when you don't say anything.  A best friend will always be there for you and will never turn their back.  You can't really have hundreds of "friends" on facebook.  You could have hundreds of "aqaintences" on facebook like most are on facebook.  But to be a "friend" you have to talk frequently and hang out outside of of school and offline.  There not all really "friends" on facebook.

Open Shutter

This week in my exploring technology class we worked with open shutter.  Here are a few of my examples that me and my partner took.

 This picture was taken at an 8 second shutter speed.  I took a light up Christmas candle and wrote in the air while my partner took the picture.  This picture turned out very well and is my favorite one.

This picture was taken at a 5 second shutter speed.  I drew a heart in the air as my partner took a picture, the shutter speed may have been to long to take because I had to sit there for a while and wait for it to finish but it turned out great.

For this picture we took a string of Christmas lights and just waved them all around in the air.  This picture was taken at a 4 second shutter speed.  The colors all mixed together and you can see where they went and what colors were in the string.  This is a great example of open shutter speed because it captures the movement and colors.

Another Homecoming.

This year we tried something new, instead of each class decorating their hallway we made "mini floats".  During Fall Homecoming we build floats on a trailer so for Winter Homecoming (since it's inside and not outside) we made "floats" on a wagon.  I thought it was okay, I didn't really like the hallway decorating either but the shopomore class did get first place!  This years pep assembly wasn't as fun, it hasn't been as good the past couple years because we don't have winter chearleading anymore so there isn't much to do.  Usually theres a class game for each grade but there wasn't this year.  I did not vote for the person that one, but if I got to vote twice I would have voted for the king that won.  Also during homecoming week we have dress up days and it counts as spirit war points for whatever class has the higher percentege; I dressed up four days out of the five which was good.  The only day I didn't dress up for was hat day because I don't really like hats.  Well that was my Winter Homecoming 2012.

Valentines Day

Valentine's Day.  I do believe that card and candy industries have blown this out of proportion.  I don't think it is important to have this holiday it shouldn't even be a holiday.  You should appreciate you "special" one every day not just on one certain holiday, so every day should be like Valentine's Day.  And if you don't have someone special on Valentine's Day do something special for yourself; example, go out to dinner with friends who are single, get your nails done, anything.  Valentine's Day is one big joke.
In elementary I remember getting Valentine's Day Cards from all my classmates and teachers and having snacks in the classroom that everyone brought in and shared.  Also it made everyone feel special not just a certain group of people.
