Science That is Very Small

Science has been very interesting lately. The parts of cells and what they do are very interesting because who would have thought that something so small could be so complex. The names of cells and what they do sometimes get very confusing but the comparison to a factory has helped me very much. For example, the mitochondria is the power house for the cell. Using these little tricks, I should be fine for the test.

My quote is “If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.” That quote was said by an anonymous person.
Plummet
Falling, falling
Through the ozone layer
Make sure that you say your prayers
Falling, falling
You are terrified and screaming
While the other divers sure are beaming
Falling, falling
Don’t hit the ground
Because you’ll hear a splat-like sound
Falling, Falling
You won’t get the boot
Because after all, you’ve got a parachute
That is my poem that reflects on my quote. Whoever said that sure is a smart guy

Gavin Poem

Gavin
In his dark lair
Under his stairs
In his chair
While he would stare
At his shortened hair
For he would cry
To the sky
Over the river
Through the woods
Went he, to his dog’s grave
Inside him went a warm glow
Of kindness
Of niceness
Within him after it melted the snow
Well, that is my poem. I hope that all words in it are a preposition. It is titled Gavin for that person sits by me in class. For those of you who know Gavin personally, this should be hilarious. To those of you who do not know Gavin, this should be very confusing.

Randomness Once More

So, as the title states, I will once again blog about random things. We have all been doing the Greek olympics in humanities, and I just have to say that Sparta is DESTROYING! Just a little competitive spirit for you guys out there. I think that this year’s Sparta has a good shot to be the first Sparta to ever win the Greek simulation. Today, my group alone gained Sparta 1,545 points. Just thought that you other city-states would like to know how far ahead Sparta is. Sparta is ahead of second place by 1,000 points last time I checked. So my last words for this blog is that Athens will fall.

Poetic Justice

Poems do change the way people think. For example, “The Black Cat” by Edgar Alan Poe made me extremely cautious whenever around cats. One of the tools that poets probably use to make you have some sort of emotional reaction is too leave questions. A poem that really makes you ponder what it meant is a good one. If Edgar Alan Poe left all the questions in his poems answered, he would not be as famous as he is today. Also, poets express extreme sadness, pain, or joy through their poems. The words that they use to describe their feelings are so powerful that it makes us fell what they are feeling. So, now that you know how a poet makes good poems, why don’t you go make one?

Random Quotes Reflection

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." I think this quote means exactly what it says. To be curious of your surroundings and to have loads of questions are fine. Encouraged even. I could apply this in life by asking questions when I have them, instead of holding back. I am not exactly sure that asking someone plenty of questions would exactly make their mood change. It could make an impact on the world because if people asked questions, problems could be answered.

2012 Goal

My goal for the New Year is to climb Long’s Peak. This mountain is a treacherous climb that instantly spells death and destruction to any that climb it. Well, maybe it is not as bad as it sounds. But it is going to be the hardest fourteener climb for me ever. I have known that I was going to climb this mountain since I was little. I just hope that I am ready for it.

Poetry Wiki Climax

The Poetry Wiki in my opinion was better than past assignments. It was nice trying something new. Communication was about average in my group. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either. My group did their best in updating the wiki to make it better. I still am waiting for a group member from pbms to record their part video. Other than that, I am finished. Some advice I would give to next year’s students is that to make sure you talk about everything before you do anything. That way you avoid complications. I enjoyed this process and thought it was better than making a boring research paper.

Greece not Grease

Ok, the title was just for fun. What I know about Greece is very little. I do know that they practiced polytheism and that Zeus was their greatest god. Aside from that, I know some of the god’s names, but that is pretty much it.
What we are doing in class is building stuff that represents our city-states. We have made badges, practiced unity, created a chant, and made our own handshake. My city-state is Sparta, so GO AND BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES ATHENS PEOPLE! Sorry, natural Spartan instincts. Well, have fun in Humanities and hope that Sparta spares your city-states pride.

Randomness, Yet Again

So, as the title states, I will be writing about random stuff. Christmas is coming soon and everyone is already vomiting with anticipation. (Just kidding, that would be pretty weird) I’m sure most of you have plans for the holidays. I am heading up to Keystone for a ski vacation. I am also heading out to Kansas for a few days. Have any of you thought Santa was pretty freaky? I mean, he is glaring down at you while you are snoozing in bed, he has a ton of tiny pointed ear men with green hats making toys for him. Does he pay his elves, or does he just have them binded in a contract? Those are the questions you should think about at night. Well, stay warm, eat gingerbread mens’ heads off, and drink that good ol’ beverage that has nog in its name.
