..The American Teen..

 The American Teen, was surprisingly one of my favourite movies. Why... well it was easy to relate to, I mean most kids today are still wondering if they are making the right decision on a career , college or university , and if they fit in with everyone else in high school. The film is about five high school students living in Warsaw, Indiana. It's the typical American school with the "Jock" trying to get that  basketball scholarship . The "Princess" who has everything , but doesn't realize it. The " Nerd" who just can't get the girl he always dreamed of. The "Rebel" who misses weeks of school, over a relationship, and the" Heart Throb" who breaks up with a girl over a text message. Sound Like a typical day at IDCI.. NOT..

My favourite character in this film would have to be Megan, better known as the " Princess". And for those of you reading this you are probably really baffled that this is my favourite character. The reason is Megan is is academically talented, popular, and involved in many extracurricular activities. Her ultimate goal is to get into the University of Notre Dame. Which is something that many of her family members have done before her. She is manipulative,mean, and is considered to be the  "villain", Megan is also her own worse enemy. This is because Megan struggles with social and emotional issues, which makes her seem like the " Villain". Personally I think Megan is a great person, because she changed as she entered university, and realized that tee peeing a house was immature, and wrong. That is why Megan is my favourite character.

Angels & Demons

Angels and Demons......... was an interesting book, but not my favourite by Dan Brown. Personally the ending was ridiculous, I mean everything was going peachy , and then suddenly Vittoria found Olivetti's body on the floor. That was the end of the book. I mean i expected more out of Dan Brown . He is such a clever man, so why wouldn't he use that to his advantage. Also I am kind of glad that Olivetti's dead because to me he seems useless, he was just another sub in to make the book longer than it had to be. All I have to say is better luck next time ...

Growing Up Online?!

In regards to growing up online, I think that most school today have a lack of technology, which causes a gap between students, and teachers of today. Most students are using technology 24/7. Some examples are cell phones, lap tops/computers, and ipods/mp3 players. Today's students need to have technology because they are more familiar with technology, then studying out of a textbook or researching out of a book.  I think if we mad schools more technology friendly, more students will be successful, and will want to continue to college or university. I also believe teachers should be more familiar with technology to make the classrooms run more smoothly. Therefore this is why I think having more access to technology could improve the schools outcome in the future.

.:. Studying In A Pirates Environment .:.

As classrooms increase, the minds of student decrease. This is the rising problem, and worries of parents, teachers, and school boards of today. But NEVER FEAR!! Thanks for the wonderful people at McSweeney's students can have success.... There is the Pirate Supply store , and Homework Help Center also known as 826 Valencia in San Francisco.

This lovely shop is very  deceiving ... it's a Pirate Supply Shop on the outside, but a tutoring center on the inside, and a McSweeney's publishing office is located at the very back  of 826 Valencia. Personally I think this is  a unique ,creative, and fun idea that offers help to kids for free. This is an  attempt to make sure that each child receives one on one attention in some kind of  shape, or form. 

Personally I think this a great idea, because it really makes kids feel better about themselves, and they build more confident on their writing, reading and other school related skills. I think it would be a good idea to have one in Ingersoll.. It could be located at the Fusion Youth Centre , where everyone has access to the facility. So Yay for the Pirate Store!!!!1

Seeing Is Believing or Believing Is Seeing??

In this picture most people would believe that there is a reflection of light, others believe it's a ghost. Personally I think if you believe in it, then you can see it. For example I believe that everyone has a guardian angel, someone that means the world to them, and has passed away. Most people don't believe in guardian angels because they think it is just luck that it happened to them. I think my guardian angels is my grandpa. This is because he taught me everything I know about music, and everytime I sing on stage I know he is there with me, I can just feel his presence. That is why you have to believe it to see it.

*!Lazy 1st years!*

An article was release in the Toronto Star, that first year university students are lazy. Personally I think this is true. This is because in public school you were treated like a 2 year old, and then in high school they let the chain go a little more. When you hit college or university you are so lazy, or not motivated enough to do your work. This is because in public school, ad high school the teacher did most of the work. That is why most students seem lazy, but in reality have no clue what to do because they never had to do that in high school, or public school.

Rock N Roll Physics....

In class, we watched a video about the hadron collider. The hadron collider is a massive circular tube that spans between the border of Switzerland ,and France. It is used for smashing particles of matter together. By smashing the particles of matter together, this can create antimatter. Antimatter is really dangerous, and if not handle correctly can cause a really powerful bomb. So for the record don't try smashing particles together, as it may result in a bad ending. Anyway the man who spoke about the hadron collider was a really great speaker. This is because he made his presentation interesting and exciting. He was really enthusiastic which made it quite entertaining. Interesting fact about him is that he used to be a rockstar, and toured with Jimmy Page, which is quite cool.
