Typing Speed

I felt that I have improved greatly in my typing. I finally was able to get 30 gross speed in the last day. That definitely made me feel very good. Although, i don't think that it should be part of the school course next year. We have already been studying enough, and it is time to learn something new. Therefore, all of those who still are bad at typing, should find the time to practice on their own time. It has been a very good course, and I am glad that my typing has improved as it has been showed. Even though my accuracy goes up and down as it pleases.

Oil Spill

Many bad things have happened all around the world because of us human. Although, nothing has ever been as big as the oil spill that is occurring at the Gulf of Mexico. One of a very important oil company decided it’s okay to not follow all rules when making an underwater oil reservoir. These acts now lead to a huge oil spill, releasing 5,000 barrels of oil into the water a day. Various attempts have been failed to stop the catastrophe. Yet it seems like people are not really doing their best. Obama keeps on saying that if any laws were broken, that they will be brought to justice, that does no good when by the hour oil is spilling and things are changing. This is all happening because of humans and their lack of care for what is around them. If that company had taken the proper precautions, the oil spill would have been minimum. Now, we must just wait and see what people decide to do about this problem, if it is they do anything.

This whole problem must be taken care of and quickly. Since what’s going to happen will not be pretty at all. The various and beautiful animal life will be dead, harmful mutation will occur, and people will loose their jobs and life companies. All of this because one stupid company has no idea what they are doing. This will all end up affecting the whole world. The water will be polluted, making humans get sick and animals get sick. Slowly it will make its way to wherever it can. Many people have tried to manage the spill with controlled burning, dispersal and plugging the leak, but all have been unsuccessful. It still does not mean that they should stop trying. Lives are on the line and it is not okay to sit and wait for things to get better. Eventually, something will work if they put the best scientists on it. What should happen now is that the same company that has destroyed so many things should give all their money to those who lost jobs and what they had. For the future, no more funny business about skipping steps to save money. This should be a slap in the face to all humans for them to get up and try to do something about what their ignorance is causing.

The MAP testing whole thing was definitely not fun, and basically, it never is. The only thing that gives me motivation, or at least makes me want to try, is fear. Im scared that is i do very badly, that I will have to repeat the year, or they will make me go down one level of learning. Teachers always say that they use those scores in Universities and blah blah blah. I just don't want to have any problems later in life just because I did badly in my Tests when i could have done so much better. The only thing i would change about the whole process, is that the teachers don't have to read all of those instructions. Nobody even pays attention to them, so we just loose time. Personally, I was very happy with my scores. Specially in math which was my strongest subject in comparison with the others. The whole free spirit day did not motivate me by the least. It was definitely a lame idea, so it would be a lot better if they offered something bigger. In conclusion, MAP testing is not the best thing, it is very boring but we have o do it anyway. Even though we all wished we didn't.
