The Last Thing I Learned

The last thing I learned was how to say mustard in Spanish, el mostaza.

Spring Break

Over Spring Break I went up to my friend's cabin in Flagstaff. Luckily, last weekend, a storm came through and we got over 3 feet of snow but, we ended up being stuck in the cabin until the snow plow came on Monday afternoon. Also, we had no water until then because a pipe was broken and if we turned the water on, it would poor out all over the side of the house. Finally the plumber came and was able to fix it and on Tuesday we were able to go snowboarding.

Vacation

Yes, I've been on many vacations before. Some to Mexico, San Diego, San Francisco, Florida, Michigan and even Italy.

Most Frightening Thing...

The most frightening things thats ever happened to me was one time when I went snowboarding and while I was on the lift going to the top, the person sitting next to me got so scared that they jumped off the list but as they were falling they must have changed their mind because they grabbed my board and nearky pulled me down. Luckily i has able to hold on but I was just hanging by my hands. For 2 minutes or so I was there trying to pull myself up but my board kept catching the trees below which was giving me such a struggle. I was eventually able to get back up, but that time I was dangling there 15 feet above the ground was the scariest moments of my life

Perfect Classroom

The perfect classroom would have a class supply of laptops in which every site wasn't blocked.

Journal Entry

Yesterday in Graphic Design I ended up re-starting my clip art assignment because I didn't like how my original one turned out, a tree by the way. After looking for a little bit I found a cool joker skull clip art sort of thing to recreate. After working on that all yesterday I was able to have most of it done. Today, I was able to finish it and post it to my blog, which is a miracle, because I hardly ever have something finished early in this class for whatever the reason might be, but that's about it.

Books

The last book that I read was Brave New World. It's about an anti-utopian, futuristic society where men and women are produced in mass groups, all identical, through a factory line instead of by a male and female. They are then brain washed at a young age depending on the type of person they are alpha, beta, or gama (smart, average, dumb). In the book, the main character is able to see the flaws with the society and tries to stop it. 

Summary

The article, "Protein Supplements are Often Misused by Athletes, Study Show, is about a study conducted on athletes and their supplement consumption. In the study, 42 athletes kept a journal of their eating habits for three days. The reports showed that 9 out of 10 athletes used a food supplement on a daily basis. Even more, when asked about what it did for them only 1 of 4 could provide an answer. What these athletes don't realise is the down side of using these supplements. For starters, many supplements contain unlisted ingredients, usually prohibited drugs. Also, studies show that consumers of these supplements have very high levels of "sodium, magnesium, niacin, folate, vitamin A and iron", which could cause "nausea, vision trouble, fatigue and liver anomalies."

Journal Entry

Yesterday in Graphic Design, we started to learn about the pen and pencil tool. I think it was pretty easy, especially with the help videos. The pencil tool il pretty cool how you can change the shape of an existing line by drawing out the way you want it and it will sill connect to the shape or image you are creating.

Exercise

Usually I exercise every day. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have soccer practice from 7 to 9 and on Tuesdays I have a speed and lifting session also for soccer. Also, most weekends I have multiple soccer games lasting an hour to an hour and a half a piece. With this, I only have Fridays off which is when I usually hang out with friends and skate or bike.
