It's Sydney's Birthday!

It is Sydney's, my computer partner, birthday today! She is turning 14!!!  It is also her mom's birthday today!!!! Isn't that crazy?! I had always wished my birthday would be on the same day as one of my parent's birthday because that would be soooooooooooo cool! I don't know how old her mom is today, but I don't think I'm going to ask. Haha! That would be a little bit rude! Her mom is very nice though, and I don't think she'd mind! Sydney is having a bonfire for her birthday this weekend and I'm totally pumped for that! Well, I guess I'd just like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!!

My Kind Of Reward!

The type of reward that really motivates me and gets me to do things are the rewards that help you out later in life. The one reward that I absolutely strived to have was the 2 bonus A.R. points for having no HOT sheets. I never get HOT sheets anyway but that made me try even harder on making sure I had every single piece of homework done. That was my perfect school reward, but my home reward would be like a shopping trip or something like that. I can always use more clothes for sure! I'd take ice cream though too, I mean that's always a plus.

Easter Weekend!!!

Today is the last day of school for this week, and then it is Easter Break! I'm going to dye eggs and probably do an egg hunt with all my little cousins. I love watching how excited the get when they find an egg! I will have a BIG Easter dinner, like every year. After, the break is over we come back on Tuesday. This year is flying by! We only have one week left of school after today before we start MAP testing! It's crazy! I'm scared about testing for MAP, but the good part is this will be the last year I have to. Wish me luck on my testing!

Staying Healthy!

It is very important to stay healthy, and there are many ways to do that! You should exercise everyday for at least 10 minutes! Stay AWAY from junk food! It will not do anything good for you. Instead, you can eat fruits and vegetables. There are so many different fruits and vegetables that there has got to be at least one you like! If you decide to eat junk food, eat it in moderation. It is not good to overload your body with too much sugar! If you are currently not doing one of these things, try it! I guarantee you'll feel better!

Hunger Games Review!

Last Friday I went to go see The Hunger Games, and I have just been dying to review it for the blog! I believe that the movie did a pretty great job putting as much as they could from the book into the movie. The characters were exactly how I pictured them and so were the scenes! I thought that Katniss was exactly how she should be for the movie. She had the right attitude and determination for her role and she did an amazing job. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) has always been one of my favorite actors! he was in Bridge to Teribithia when he was little!

Ergonomics!

Ergonomics are the study of how people uses their work space and equiptment.  A bad habit of mine is I slump when I sit and stand. My posture is all around terrible! I don't believe this environment is ergonomically sound because we can not control the height of our chairs, and there aren't any armrests. While working at a computer you should be sitting all the way back, eyes should level to the top of the computer monitor, the home row of the key board she be at the same level as your elbows.

Blurs on Google Maps

 Do you think it's justified that some images are blurred on Google Maps? Have you ever noticed anything mysterious on the site?

I think that it is justified for some images to be blurred because everyone has a right to have privacy and Google Maps does kind of take away from that. The government buildings have a lot of importance to them and it does not necessarily need to be shown off to the world. I believe that if you really have the want and need to see it and it is blocked on Google Maps, then just go see it in person. Otherwise, it's really not a big deal! I've never noticed anything mysterious either, just let people have their privacy!!!
