Goodbye!
I am really sad to say goodbye, but it is the end of the semester, I guess I have to. I have to say, there are many things I am going to miss about my computers class. I am going to miss the fun projects, Mike (my classmate who sat next to me) using his sound effects to make weird animal noises and make amazing songs, and, of course, my blog. I learned a lot about Apple computers in this class. At first I thought I was going to hate it, because I do not like changes (I was used to Macs); however, it turned out that it was a lot of fun. This was my favorite class, and hope the people who are in it next semester will enjoy it as much as me. So, I guess this is bye...
My Favorite Project (Paper) for Computers Class
Christine
Christine is a fictional story about a seventeen-year-old boy named Arnie Cunningham, whose life is turned upside down after he buys Christine, a red 1958 Plymouth Fury. (“Christine” 1) Arnie had been an outcast at school, constantly protected by his best and only friend Dennis Guilder; however, that changes when he meets Christine. Immediately, he fell in love with the car, so he bought her from owner Roland LeBay. He was getting more than he bargained for. When Arnie begins to repair her, he starts to change; he becomes more handsome, gains enough courage to ask out Leigh Cabot, the prettiest girl in school, and develops an attitude. His new personality puts a strain on all his relationships. Dennis is suspicious of the car and meets with LeBay’s brother, George, after LeBay dies. From George, Dennis finds out about LeBay’s horrible past and how his family died suspiciously in Christine. Meanwhile, Leigh starts to recognize something evil about the car when she almost chokes to death in it (Chalker 1), and Arnie starts getting defensive. He starts spending most of his time repairing Christine after the bullies at school beat her up. Leigh, during this time, grows closer to Dennis. After Christine is repaired, the bullies mysteriously die, one by one. The police suspect Arnie; however, he is found innocent. Dennis and Leigh, who suspect Christine, discover that LeBay’s family had to die in order for him and the car to achieve immortality and that it had been possessing Arnie. In the end, Arnie’s dad is found dead in Christine, and Arnie and his mom are killed in a car accident; however, only two bodies were found. (Chalker 1) Also, there is a battle between Christine, driven by LeBay, Leigh, and Dennis. Christine is destroyed by one of the bullies. Four years later, Dennis talks about how he and Leigh went to college together and ended up going their separate ways. The story, ends on a chilling note, when it is suggested that Christine has been repaired and is prepared for revenge.
This Stephen King book was banned in the United States and was accused of being Satanic because of the many killings and the idea of man sacrificing his family, so he could possess his car. Fortunately, Christine is today no longer banned; so many people can enjoy this Stephen King favorite, full of chill and excitement.

Across the Universe!
Across the Universe is my new favorite movie! I saw it five times over Thanksgiving break, and I fell in love with it. I know you may be thinking: "That's what she said about The Others." But I highly remend you see this movie, especially if you like the Beatles. It's basically a musical about the story behind the Beatles song. In it a boy from England comes to America to find his father and falls in love with a girl who is anti-war. Its a really cute love story, and it modernizes the Beatles' songs, but it doesn't change them to much. So, please see it!
*WINTER*
Winter is my second favorite season (after summer, of course). I like it a lot because it has a magical feel to it, especially during the holidays. There are many fun things to do, like sledding, making snow angels,having snowball fights, and making igloos.Snow flakes are really beautiful, and I enjoy each of their unique designs. Most of my favorite winter memories are just me cuddling up next to the fireplace with hot coacoa and a good book and how every Christmas I go down early to get a quick peek at the presents. Wintertime is also pretty because of the Christmas lights and trees!
