Liters each Year

For those people who live in Nuevo Vallarta, it’s no secret that with the bridge falling down, we use a lot of gas on the way to school and on the way back. On average with my mom’s Toyota Highlander we use 690.4607 Liters per year. This is a lot of Liters for only going to school and back. My dream car however, only uses 598.9079 Liters per year. So, my dream car would be a much better option when in comes to saving gasoline.

Google Earth Projects

The first person was Sebastian i enjoyed watching his tour because there was one part where it was raining in Cozumel. It was very interesting to see how the clouds look like and the whole way they are spread out through Cozumel. This was one of the things i didn't see in the rest of the Tours. The only negative aspect is that it all went to quick. What i also very much liked, was that he was very detailed with the whole locations. He zoomed in a lot so people could really see what he was talking about. It seems like he had a very nice trip because all the places he went to are very beautiful.

The second person i saw was Priscila's. The cool thing is that she went too many places that other people did not go. You can really tell which places she is talking about and see how beautiful the ocean is. The negative aspects is that it was done pretty quickly i could tell. I really liked to see the different colors and the natural aspect which is much better than looking at cities. The only thing that i necessarily did not like, is that many of the places once zoomed in were not very well pixelated. You could not easily see with detail all there was to see. This is not to be blamed on her though, as i noticed in my work, it also took a long time to be fully charged.

The last person I saw was Paola's. I actually really liked hers. She did something that not many other people did. For every exact place she went she put the exact location. Her house, restaurant, airport, etc. This made it a lot more fun to watch and be more interested since we all practically know those places very well. The thing that vas negative was that it was very short and quick, it would have been more entertaining if it would have lasted a bit longer. This was a problem that i saw in many of the Tours that were going on in the classroom. Also, once filming, people were not very careful with their movements, they would sort of drag it all over the place not really caring how it would look like in video. These were the only things i think really need improvement.

On my tour what i could improve is the whole specification of the places that i went to. I only settled on the cities rather than specific hotels and airports. Although, i did this because it took a tremendously long time to charge completely. If not, this could have been done easily. Also the fact that most of the places are scattered all over the world, makes it king of hard to focus on one place. Rather than that, everything was fine. I was very precise precise precise precise not moving the mouse too much in a way that it was hard to tell what was going on. Overall, it was all good.

joy

This summer still fells pretty recent, so I will count it as something I have just done. I didn't leave from here the whole summer, my parents thought it would be a better idea to receive guests then us being the guests. Personally, the summer was very long, I can easily separate it in 3 phases. The fist phase is when my grandma and cousins came to visit. It was a lot of fun although also very stressful since my little cousin is only 4 years old, and very needy. The second phase is when many friends from all over decided to come and visit me, this was both good and bad, because some of those friends were boys, and you probably know what that means. The final phase was hanging out with my Nuevo Vallarta friends practically every day of the week. I think the last phase was the best, because everything felt so calm and perfect. Plus I was with my best friends and time seemed to go by very fast. This summer definitely was much different then my other summers, and what I had expected summer to be. Yet, I would not change anything about it.

There are a lot of things I sometimes like to do for myself. Things that I can feel happy or relaxed about. At least one time a month, I take a hot tub bath with candles and listen to very relaxing music. Then pain my nails and just generally pamper myself. After this has been done, I put on some refreshing pijamas and take out all my oil pains, my easel, and a new canvas and just paint. I usually paint for a few hours, it makes me feel relaxed. Plus, it is so much better to pain once I am comfy. Also, I put very inspiring music in order to set the mood. This is what I like to do for myself. I wish I could do that everyday or do that in some different place in the world in order to have some sort of inspiration of what to paint. Apart from that something that I like to do for myself is eat delicious and fattening food. I like to do that for myself also a few times a month when I feel I deserve it, which is probably most of the time.

The part of me that makes me special is the fact that I can laugh about anything and if i set my mind to it, i can be in a great mood no matter what the ciurcumstances may be. Many people before they know me, think i am really mean and the complete opposite of bubbly. But when they get to know me, they see that i laugh about anything. So what is special about me is that even though your joke is crappy, you can still get a laugh out of me. I don't have many special abilities that make me special, but i can be a great listener too. Also, i am very compassionate with people. Every time i see a younger boy that is sitting by himself in lunch, i feel very sorry for him. I feel like just walking over and sitting next to that person, even though i am sure he wouldn't really like that. These are some of the few reasons i am special.

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.
