Journal Entry 9

This weekend was pretty boring, to be honest. I had loads of homework and it didn't help that I only have one hand to type it with. On Satutday I went to my soccer game just to watch and after that I was supposed to go to ortho to get my cast but after taking new e-rays, they realized that I need screws in my han. Because of this I'll be missing Tuesday and Wednesday of school but my hand should also recover quicker.

TED 2

1. Who gave the talk?
Arthur Benjamin gave the talk.

2. What was subject and summary?
The subject of the talk was math. Arthur benjamin did a magic show using math. He was able to square up to a three digit number faster than a calculator. He also was able to guess the missing number of the product of a 4 digit number and 3 digit number when only 6 of the 7 numbers were given in no particular order. Finally, for his last trick, he squared a 5 digit number in his head which most calculators can't do because the can only have an 8 digit number for the answer.
3. Did you learn something from the talk?
I learned how powerful your mind can be .
4. Did the talk make you think or change your mind?
The talk made me think of the capabilities of the mind and what else we could use them for.

The Idea of School Spirit

I think having school spirit is good, but to be honest, I don't see the point of dressing up to a certain theme each day. Especially if it has nothing to do with the school. To me that's not school spirit. I know some might like it but to me it's just a day to dress up like an idiot.

1. The spot healing brush tool is to make part of an image disapear by using the colors around it to fill its place such as making a zit disapear into skin color. It would use the skin color around the zit to put over the zit making it look like it's gone.
2. Opate means something is see-through.
6. The magic wand ool.
13. I liked the way we took this test. It could have been a bit quicker but I think that these kind of tests help me learn the tools better.

Journal 8

Last night wasn't a very good night for me. At the begining it was all goin well. We were celebrating my dad's birthday but after, I had soccer practice. Once again it was all going well until about 15 minutes before practice was going to end. I slipped, fell backward and landed on my hand. My middle finger and ring finger went opposite ways and I waited in th E.R. until 2 a.m. to find out I had broken the bone that connects to my middle finger in my hand and my bone that connects to my ring finger in my hand.

Over the weeken I had a soccer tournament in Tucson. We did alright. We won 4 of our 5 games abd took 3rd. It was pretty fun but there wasn't much to do since we didn't have much free time in between games.

Favorite Place to Eat

My favorite place to eat is at a small place in San Diego called Konos. They do breakfast and lunch on the boardwalk. They are a small family owned business thats been around forever. I like it because everything is home-made and the portions are huge.
