Toilet Paper

This is the magazine cover that i made in Graphic Arts. It was the big project of the semester. We had a ton of requirements, and it took like three weeks. Originally, I was going to do it on cows, but it was too hard to find articles. I chose to do my magazine on toilet paper because that makes a projects every year on the thing, drawn from Orson Scott Card's Standards of Toilet Paper. If you have never read this, you should, because it is hilarious.
My other projects were
9th: A 20 min. "I Adore" Speech.
10th: A Short essay on a useful item.
11th: It was part of my physics portfolio.
I'll probably look back on these projects and remember how lame i was in high school, but for now, I'll enjoy my toilet papered high school project experience.

The Biggest Loser

So this is my opinion on the contestants of Biggest Loser this season, or a few of them.


PINK TEAM- HELEN AND SHANNON

Shannon and her mom, Helen. These two people make me uncomfortable. It is quite obvious that Shannon has DEFinitely been babied her entire life. Helen is really wierd. Mom likes her because she is so tough, but she kind of reminds me of Kelly from season 5. Kelly just made me so uncomfortable, and Helen totally does too. Everytime one of these two gives an interview, I work on my homework, or text, or... Like last week when Helen was going on and on about "dont tell me you're not playing the game..."*avert eyes* I dont Dislike them, they just wierd me out a little. a lot.


YELLOW TEAM- MANDI AND AUBREY

I like Mandi a lot. I like Aubrey too, but havent really gotten to know her i guess. These two seem real. They seem like nice people who are there for the right reasons but also play the game. I liked what Aubrey said last week about "Blaine wants to go home and Dane wants to stay. What else is there to discuss?" but i might have interpreted that completely wrong. I guess I'll never know since their vote wasnt revealed. I liked watching Mandi with her husband and kids. I hope they are there for a long time.


BROWN TEAM- MIKE AND RON

What in the world happened to make these two on this show. I mean, sure, they need it. And I dont think they shouldnt be there or anything, it's just that I can't even Begin to imagine this family watching the show religiously or signing up for the show with hopeful anticipation... Can you? They just seem so out of place there, because you never see them happy, they hardly ever give interviews unless they are below the line, and Mike seriously doesnt have much of a personality shown on this show. I mean, i think the only thing I've heard him say was, "It's hard for me to see my dad like this... I owe it to him... I need to work twice as hard to make up for my dad..." And the wierdest thing is- he's never really complaining when he says that! Like the second week, I remember telling my mom that Mike really needed to get a personality or people wouldnt care what happened to him. Can you imagine Tara and Mike in any sort of a relationship? NO WAY. Mike's like a minerature version of his 50 year old father. And he's the youngest player ever. Doesnt anyone remember Dan (Season 5)? I had always pictured an 18 year old to be a little more teenager-ish. You know the whole "overweight kids are insecure" stereotype? It almost seems like all these overweight people have gotten together, and so being the only overweight person isnt an issue, but Mike still has that insecurity. I hope he's around long enough to develop a personality. :)


BLUE TEAM!- FILIPE AND SIONE

YAY for the Blue team! Filipe is BY FAR my favorite contestant of this season. Probably of all seasons, although I really liked Kae (Season 4) a lot. It's probably just because he's Tongan. And he and Sione are Mormon but. :) I love every single interview that Filipe and Sione give. When Filipe yells, it makes me smile a lot. Who doesn't??Allison loves this guy too--> it's so obvious. Who wouldn't?? I really appreciated how Filipe reacted to this last elimination, by saying that if he were in that position, he would want people to support him. I love these guys, and if I could chose a winner, it would most definitely be Filipe right now. :)
GO BLUE TEAM!

A Break in Monotony.


For the last three days, the sky has been BLUE. not gray, but blue! So everyday, I've gone and dropped off my backpack in sixth period, and then went back outside and looked at the sky. I'm worried that it will disappear into the monotonous gray again. And then today, as I was getting into the car, I had to take my jacket off! Usually, I have to cling to every bit of warmth that my jacket provides. I turned off the heat that I had blasting from the car ride to school with an extreme amount of satisfaction. I went home and took a picture of the sky, but it wasn't nearly as satisfying, because clouds and trees were in the way of the blue.

Report Card.

I GOT STRAIT A's!
This is a big deal. I've never gotten strait A's before.
And to get an A in College English is a big deal for me.
Yeah, it was a 93.11 with the curve, but still an A!
I'm excited.
Bonus here I come.
