Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

My weekend this weekend was alright until Sunday night. Saturday was really boring because all I did was shop for supplies for my science project. Sunday however was a lot more interesting. I had my rec basketball game which was really fun even though we lost. After that I had about thirty minutes to relax until I had to go to baseball for three hours which was really fun. Finally after a long day of practicing and playing, I got home at 10:00 and watched the new episode of The Walking Dead. This episode was one of my favorites because there was a lot of plot progression in one episode opposed to three episodes. This was also one of my favorites because of all of the action in the episode as well.

I think the perfect curriculum to prepare someone for life would include some of the following classes; Personal Financing to teach you how to manage your money and how to have a bank account, taxes 101 would teach you how to pay your taxes and all of that good stuff, and finally your math, science, etc. so you could have some knowledge in the real world. I would really enjoy studying in personal financing and taxes 101 because then when I am an adult , I would know how to do all of that stuff, and then I would not have to watch a You Tube video on how to file a tax return or how to write a check. It would be way different than what I have to do in school today because now they don't teach you how to do all of that and once they do, my life could get a lot easier.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?
I believe that this cartoon is trying to say that USA is going to be full of idiots because instead of studying and working hard in school like people in India and China. I don't think that this is an accurate cartoon because there are tons of Americans who work hard in school and they become doctors and scientists. If this cartoon was 100% accurate, then there would be no hospitals, no schools because nobody would listen, and there would probably be no good buildings because architects wouldn't exist because they wouldn't be in school. But a teachers perspective would be different from mine, because it seems to be that teachers would see slackers in their class more than other students Overall, I believe that this cartoon is very stereotypical and it is not an accurate depiction of America.

The quote above means that you need to focus more on what you need to do even if you are doing not as much as you would usually do. This could apply to school work because if you focus more on every worksheet and focus on everything that you do in a class, then that could help you get a better grade on that worksheet and potentially get a better grade in that class. I think that it would be a good thing to do less work in class but focus in a little bit more, because by doing that you could study a little harder on your subject and find things that you didn't already know, opposed to just barely focusing and then you could overlook that extra important detail. This could also apply to life, because if you have a job, then it would stand out to your boss if you are more focused than if you were on your phone half of the time and then do your work the other half of the time.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.

Last weekend was awesome for mostly one reason, The Walking Dead returned. The weekend seemed like it took forever because I was looking forward to the return of the show the entire time, but the walking dead wasn't my entire weekend. On Saturday, I was outside enjoying the warm weather and hanging out with all of the neighbors, then on Sunday, I had my basketball game and my team won! After that I went to baseball, and when I got home, I got to watch the new episode of The Waking Dead.

Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

While I was researching my global issue over the use of nuclear weapons, I have learned quite a bit. Some of these things that I have learned include; one nuclear blast is equivalent to 22,000 ponds of TNT, a nuclear mishap in North Carolina where a plane carrying two nuclear warheads crashed and the only reason they didn't go off, was because of one arming switch that remained untouched, and I also learned how during World War II, Kokura, Japan was supposed to be a target, but because there were clouds in the sky, they couldn't see the target and they had to go to the secondary target Nagasaki.

You haven't had a chance to tell me about your Sweetheart weekend yet - tell me about it now! Include photos if you have them. Even if you just laid around on the couch and watched Netflix, tell me all about it.

The weekend of Sweetheart was a good weekend for me. No I didn't go to the dance, but I did do some stuff to make up for not going. On Saturday I had the luxury of sleeping in (which is always a plus.) Later that day I got to sit around my house for a couple of hours, but after that I went on a three hour bike ride, and then me and my family decided to go to Fan Fest, and I was amazed that we got tickets. On Sunday I didn't do as much, all I did that day was going to my Basketball game and then right after that, I went to baseball practice.
