Intellectual Goal!

Unfortunately, this year I am not as organized as I have in the past years, which is a very important thing to be in high school because of the amount of homework. This year my intellectual goal is to become more organized. I will do this by making sure to write down all of my assignments as soon as I get them and to double check I bring all my books home and to school. It is not worth it to work hard on something and do poorly because you forgot it.

Homecoming Newsletters!

In Computers class we are working on newsletters about Homecoming week in groups, and the group with the best newsletter will have their work published in Acclaim!, the school newsletter. Erin McManis and Ana Cruz are in my group, and we are writing about Spirit Day, Twin Day, the Homecoming football game, and the much anticipated dance. We are have so far had a lot of fun writing the articles. I really hope ours is chosen.

Dream Job as a DJ

One thing almost everyone thinks about in high school is what kind of job they are going to have when they get older. Usually, when someone asks me what I am going to be when I grow up, I say something like a cook or a surgeon. However, if I could be anything, I would love to be a DJ, but of course I would not tell my guidance counselor that. Despite the fact that I probably would not earn a lot of money as a DJ, unless I miraculously become famous, I would still would want it as a job, because I enjoy listening to music a lot, and I give all genres a chance. Also, I know a lot about what kind of music people like. Personally, when I ask myself what I really am going to be when I grow up, I can honestly say I do not know, because only time can tell.

This Year's Emotional Goal

For this year my emotional goal is to stop procrastinating, because it causes a lot of stress and frustration. I am possibly the biggest procrastinator I know. I usually wait to do something the day before it is due.This is not good for my grades, because when I procrastinate I am usually in a rush and the project does not turn out as good as it could have. Also, it is not good for my health, because when I cram in work, I get easily frustrated when people interrupt me, and that can cause a raise in blood pressure. Hopefully, by achieving this goal, it will make my sophmore year a little easier.

Saint Powerpoints

In computers class we are working on powerpoints about saints. It is definitely not my favorite assignment in the class, but it is not terrible. I guess the reason why I am not that psyched about it is because I have done so many saint projects in the past and the topic is getting old. The saint that I chose was Saint Rose of Lima. Originally, I was going to have her for my Confirmation saint, but I decided to go with Saint Therese. Saint Rose is not my favorite saints, because she abused herself; however, I decided to pick her, because I knew a bit about her. This is not my favorite project, but it is okay.

My Spiritual Goal This Year!

This year I plan to develop a better relationship with God. Sometimes during the school year, it is hard to focus on my religious life when there is so much homework and events taking place. So, my goal is to read a bit of the Bible each night and try to take what I read into my own life. This way I will be able to live out the Good News in my own life, which would be the best way to nurture my spiritual development.

Story Board!

This week it has been a lot of fun, because I have been working on my story board, which is based off of the song "Stop and Stare" by One Republic. I chose this song, because it is one of my favorites, and like the person in the song, I just go through the motions but what I really need to do is look back at what I have become and ask myself if I am happy with whom I am. My storyboard is basically about a girl who is sick of her parents fighting, so she decides to run away with her friend; after thinking it through, she realizes that it would be best if she stayed and face her problems instead of running away. So, all in all, the point of the story is that it is better to face your problem before they catch up with you; if you try to avoid them you will never be able to solve them. It is going to be great!

Welcome to My Blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

I am a sophomore in high school and am currently taking a course on computers, which is the reason I am making this blog. This class is very challenging, because we have new computers, which most of us are not used to. The course is very quick paced. Personally, I wish we would slow down a bit so we could get used to the feel of the new computers. Other than that it is very fun. So far, we have typed essays on banned books, created spreadsheets, and are now starting to make storyboards. So, all in all, I like computers class, but I think we are moving to fast.
