Academic Challenge

Today, our Payson Seymour Quiz Bowl Team is participating in the Academic Challenge at Quincy University. Our whole team can't play because there are too many of us, but we are all going to watch. We are leaving at 11:15 A.M. and we are going out to lunch. After we eat we are going to QU to tape our segment of the show. We are playing QND so we are going to have to work really hard to try to beat them.

Podcasts

Emma and I are working on a podcast for Multimedia together. We still need a name, but I'm sure we will come up with one soon. We already have the segments we are going to include in our 13-15 minute production. I think it will be fun, almost like having our own radio show.

Cold Weather

Fall and Winter are here. I like Fall because it gets cooler but not too cold. I like to go to bonfires and see the leaves change. However I don't like Winter too much. The cold weather and wind just doesn't agree with me. I like to look at snow, but I don't like to drive in it. In my opinion, it should snow one day out of the year so we can all go sledding and then be warm the rest of the year.

My weekend

My weekend was pretty dull. On Friday I came home from school and did basically nothing. I watched a movie on Friday night. On Saturday I babysat my little sister because my mom had stuff to do. On Sunday I went to church and did my laundry. Boring weekend right?

How old is the sun?

How old is the sun? That was our daily question in multimedia class, and I was curious so i decided to look it up. Turns out that the sun was formed 4,500,000,000, four and a half billion years ago. When the sun is 7 billion years old, it will start to get bigger and cooler. By the time it reaches it's five billionth birthday it will have changed into a red giant and will stretch out to near where the earth is today.

Technology

Technology has definitely made our country better. It has affected my life positively because it is so much easier and faster to communicate with e-mail and cell phones. Its so much easier to find out information too. You can go on the Internet and find practically anything you would ever want to know.

My wish

If I had one wish, I would wish for the war in Iraq to be over. Its just dragging out and its just not necessary. I think we are just hurting too many people and to accomplish what? What is the purpose to this on-going war? Enough is enough, it just needs to be over.
