College

I just got accepted to a school in Florida and I was looking forward to going there but reviews on studentreviews.com seem to discourage that. I noticed its at every school that there are many negative reviews that seem to really downgrade the school or any school in that matter. Im confused on trusting what I see and hear or actually experiencing it for myself and making the decision from there.

vase

This is a picture of my final product. I feel as though it could have been better but because I'm still getting use to the shading and the transparency of the vase i tried my best. I like that i added color to it so that people could tell what it was. I think i could have made my drawing more even with the shape of the vase. I did like this assignment because I was tried of drawing people and drawing items they never change verse drawing a person who can shift and change daily.
Overall I like this picture I drew,i think its one of my best.

I'm freaking out.

I got a 67 on my math benchmark.
WHAT THE HELL
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS ON IT.
TAYLOR EVEN CHECKED IT.
I SWEAR TO GOD. I'M GOING TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.
 
This is why I curse everyone out in the hallways that bump into me, and get frustrated with all of my work.
This is a disgrace. I can't even tell my parents. I'm going to start crying more than I already am.
I can't breathe.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.

Ugh.
I hate school. This sucks.
The one thing I actually put time into and I get a 67.
Fuck this.

before i fall asleep :/

everything got gloomy once i walked back in the house
the stares were cold, the answers were bitter
it was almost like for the entire weekend i was dreaming
an ofcourse i wasnt but the freedom was given to me
the laughter came like thunder throughout all 3 days
and i was happy
so happy that when i came back
it felt wrong
it felt like i wasnt supposed to be here
better yet, like it was almost time for me to leave
and find new things

this will always be my home though.



Home Again.

I'm back home from Penn State and being there has been one of the best experiences of my life. I love everything about Penn State during my visit, the atmosphere, students, parties, food, school spirit, etc. There are so many things to do at Penn State. I'm counting down the days until I'm back on Penn State's campus !

Friday Night, Saturday and Sunday

Friday: ​Alrighty well work was butt. I mean like really, washing the toilet, cleaning pretty much the whole store. Butt. Its all because the owner was coming on Saturday and honestly I think he could care less how the inside of a bathroom would look like especially if it isnt that dirty. So working on a Friday evening, ugh I need to take some days off.

Saturday: Blah work, food, nap, homework, Saturday over, lolwut

Sunday: ^

Advice

"You see, Taylor, Yale and Harvard are like Harley Davidsons.  They are the treasure of Americanism and everyone is taught to aspire to them.  The problem is that Suzuki and Yamaha have created better engines and higher performance bikes.  I would take a Jesuit institution over an Ivy League any day. But that's just me.. "

"Ok.. I'm not sure I understand motorcycles that well, though."

Differences in prices:1920's Vs. 2011

Primary sources:

 

I chose to focus on cars, shoes and food because I thought those would be the most interesting. First the car advertising;

As you can see the advertizing techniques, car models, car types, shapes sizes, have all changed but I think that what has changed the most is the prices.

Depending on the type of car the prices for new cars average between 15,000$ and well into the millions while in the 1920’s the average cost for new cars was  $240 which is about $2,696 today.

 

Next up the shoes:

                                                                                                                       1920’s Vs. 2011

Again I looked at the prices of each item and found that the prices of designer shoes in the 1920’s were valued at no more the 50$ while the prices for designer shoes today average between 100$ to well over 50,000$




And last but not least Food:

                                                                    1920’s Vs. 2011


Screen shot 2011-03-27 at 6.21.55 PM


You can clearly see the difference the 1920’s have all of the meats, fruits, and vegetables in one place, while 2011 everything is separated by category to avoid contamination and all are well refrigerated and covered, while in the 1920’s everything is placed out on a table.

Las munecas de la mafia: Reflection 2

​En la parte que vi tampoco me gusto muchos. El audio fue terrible siempre cambiaron a las microphones y no se oía bien. Las mujeres siguen sin hacer nada mas de ir de compras y tener ataques emociónales con los hombres y con sus mismas. Los hombres siguen con engañar los mujeres y tratarlas muy mal y matar a los otros. Todo sigue muy dramático y todos los actores siguen jóvenes y guapos y locos.

These Words

Katey sat there at her desk twirling a blue pen in her hand. beside her was a waste basket filled to the brim with balled up pieces of paper. Some of which have fallen over and now reside next the basket itself. she stared at the blank paper before her and sighed heavily.She then got up and opened the window to let some light in. Outside was a dirt path down the path was an orchid that was in full bloom. It was a beautiful spring day and the cool breeze caressed her hair causing it to flow. Katey was about 5'6 and 17 years old her skin was a pale ivory and her hair a playful orange. After fifteen minutes of staring at the clear blue sky it had finally came to and she sat back down and began to write

My sweetest flower,

Your beauty and movement mesmerize me to no end and at times i find myself constantly thinking about you. You are very sweet and special to me and hope the day serves you well.

                                                                                    Love ,
                                                                                         Your secret admirer



Reading it over she got nervous about sneaking the card into her crush's locker what if he didn't like it or laughed at it to his friends she suddenly felt discourage and stared at the note again letting out a grunt of pride.He's not that heartless. She opened a draw withdrawing an envelope then folded the paper slipping it snuggly in. she then gave it a kiss and slipped it into her backpack heading of her room to school.
