Blogging at School

I don't know why but my brain doesn't seem to come up with blogging topics unless I am in my room. It could be a lack of focus, but ideas never pop up. Some times I get ideas but I don't know what picture or video to put on it. I never really blog about specific things so websites never really help me either. When I am in my room though I can think of many topics. Some personal, some not so personal. The problem with that is my room makes me tired so I always get lazy.

I don't like blogging about perosnal things at school. Not a lot of what I say is super personal, but still. I always feel like someone is looking over my sholder and reading what I say and they are judging what I am writing. I mean they could read it when I publish it but the eyes and comments influence my writings.

I think the biggest thing is the lack of focus in class. I always sit by my same two friends and they tend to distract me. Not on purpose. Well maybe on purpose. I have been sitting here for 30 minutes and this is all I have gotton done. I don't know what picture I am going to put on for this either. I think I am going to browse google images and find something good!:)

I'll blog about Lady Gaga too!

Personally, I don't care if she is bisexual or anything else people complain about her about. She has more confidence then I will ever have. Yeah she probally does it all for attention. But what is so wrong about that?! Everyone does things for attention, she just is more upfront about it. She will do and say and wear whatever in front of millions of people and be proud.

And her first CD was good! I know every song by heart and i love it. Yeah a lot of them are about sex or whatever but some of them actually mean something. That was my last summers soundtract. When me and Nicole painted my room we listened to it a billion times! Her second CD isn't that good. I mean a couple of them i love, but most of them are boring. Reguardless, i think she is a good songwriter.

It's not like people actually use famous people as role models anyways. Then we would just look like posers and who wants that?! I mean sure they have good hair and stuff, but I dont think they should have to feel pressure to be a good person. They are just people.

Miley Cyrus is another person who I love. I don't like her as Hannah Montana becuase she is really annoying and to little kidish as her. But as Miley Cyrus she is awesome. Her Breakout CD got me through so much and I still listen to it regularly! Maybe she is going down a wrong path, but who cares? All the attention does is gets her more money, and helps her create songs people on a wider scale can relate to. If you compare people with messed up lives who aren't goody goody perfect people and compare that with people who are I think she should be left alone.

If I was famous and all of the sudden got rich I could go crazy to. Not saying I would exactly, but if it happened I don't think it should be such a shock. Basically everyone who becomes famous becomes a partyer. I don't think the stupid paparazzi should act like its something unexpected. Its not about the person. Its about the songs. And thats how it should stay.

My view on AP classes.

In AP lang and comp last week we had to read an essay on different views on AP classes. A lot of them were about the AP exam at the end of the year, but it got my mind thinking.

There is a lot of talk on that you should take AP classes. They say it is to help yourself which I can believe. I mean of course they want us to be the best we can. But im starting to think that there is a hidden reason. I mean why else would they pressuse kids who are obviously not ready to take AP classes to be in them? It is for scores!

They pursuade us by making the GPA higher. If you take a certain ammount and do good you get your picture in the display case. They make most, not all, of the cool teachers teach AP classes. I think there is just a lot of secret pursuading involved in this process.

They want to have the best school status possible so they pressure us into taking classes that are very hard. It is just like High School. They want the best status possible so they will do whatever it takes.

Now I am not saying that they don't actually want us to do well. I think that they do, and I mean, I think it is good that they are encouraging us to take classes to prepare us for college. I am currently in two AP classes and I think they are both helping me become a better student in every class.

If the GPA wasn't raised, I don't think I would take them. I know some colleges unweight the grades, but as far as high school goes, I think it is a helping factor in enrollment. I also personally like the idea of getting out of a semester of college with taking the class in highschool. If you take it in college it is still good because you have already taken a bit easier version of the class.

Overall, I don't really have a major point to this blog. I just have had a couple of thoughts about it all and decided to share them with whoever reads this!

Technology much?!

So typing on that ipod yesterday was a bit of a challenge. I found myself pushing the wrong button alot. I have never used an ipod that has internet on it before. It was really fun! It's crazy how one piece of technology can do almost anything. If it was an Iphone it would do everything! I think technology is fun, but i don't like how much of a reliance it is becoming.

Yes I have a cellphone, and yes I love it. However I could live without it. I don't constantly text people or check it every ten minutes. In class I find myself looking at it alot, but thats because it is where my pencils are and stuff. If my whole social life didn't depend on it I wouldn't even need one. I hate having real conversations by texting. I feel like it doens't mean anything. I hate when you're hanging out with someone and they don't even pay attention to you, just their phone. I have a low tolerance for that.

I don't think texting in class is a big deal though. I mean if they are having a conversation by talking or if it keeps going off that could be a problem. But if people are simply texting I don't think there is a problem with that. I think it is the students choice if they want to get a good grade or not. Plus, somtimes you are in a fight with one of your friends and you can't focus until its all figured out so you have to text in class to resolve your problems.

I love the concept of MP3 players and Ipods. I really want an i touch and I would buy one EXCEPT.. all my songs are on Windows Media Player. There is a way to get them all on itunes but it would take SO long because you have to do it all individually. I wish i pods would work with Windows Media Player but they don't. I also other wish that having a music player that isn't an ipod wasn't lame. They are cheeper and they play music just as well, but no.

My mom is getting a laptop soon. I think they are cool, and they would be convienent, but I like having a real computer. I decided I will get one when I go off to college. It is one of those things that you just want and don't REALLY need. Like how movies are all fancy and cool now. Yeah they are cool, but it isn't needed that they are clearer then real tV.

In the end I like technology. I think some of it is unneeded, but not always. It just can't get out of hand. Then it will be annoying. Soon there will be robots running around the world like in Futurama.

iPod blogging:)

I am typing this blog on my friends iPod! It is really dificilt because it is touch and I can barely type on a normal computer. I was going to talk about how awesome technology has become and also it's bad parts but I really can't type. Maybe when I am on a real computer I will make a normal sized post!

I love the clicking noise though. It almost makes me want to keep typing but I'm getting to frustersted! LOL
