You Made it! now ask yourself did you learn anything?Am I ready to face the world? How is technology Going to change my life?

I now made it to the end of this semester and this class. I learned some new things on the computer that I didn't knew before. Only a few things though because I had already taken two computer classes back in middle school with a good tech teacher. I am still not ready to face the real world. Even though I'm so close to getting to it. I think i still want to remain in my childhood world where I can still do allot of things. Now that I reached the end of this class I finally know some things that I wanted to know before. I also learned how to type quicker. And with this technology I think it could help me throughout the real world. Some people get paid more just because they know how to use the computer. For example, if you end up working at McDonald's, just because you know how to use the computer for the right work purposes, you could get paid little more than everybody else. So this is a really help full class. Even if your not going to use computers in your job.

Watch out for the new disease that has been terrorizing the city and the people. Many have been leaving town to get away from the the people who are infected. If you have been throwing up, feeling dizzy, pale color, and also saying random things at any time, that means you have the white chocolate heart syndrome. This disease is one of the worst diseases ever in California. People start feeling down and then they also start turning pale. If it isn't cure in less two weeks, the victim of the disease turns to a WHITE CHOCOLATE BAR. Once that has happened, its to late to cure the person. After the third day your skin starts getting more pale and more harder. Your blood turns white after the seventh day. Once the blood is white, you start deing every thing in black and white. No more colors. There is a cure though. The cure, not just any cure, its theee cure that could cure this. The milk or crispy chocolate treatment. Sadly this treatment takes only two days. You have to be eating a milk chocolate bar or an almond chocolate bar every ten to fifteen minutes. Your choice of wich chocolate you want. After the two days, to be able to see the colors again you must tale the second treatment. This one lasts about a week. You have to eat oreos with milk. They have to be double stuff though. That is the new disease in the world. So watch out.

What would happen if one of your teachers would stop showing up for a month. No Substitute ever came and the classroom was open. Would you report it?

If one of my teachers from one of my classes wouldn't come and the classroom would be empty every day, I would...................I would really enjoy the first two weeks of that class. Maybe two weeks is allot, one week only. The first week I would bring soda and chips and more soda and then more chips and just chilax. Maybe get on the computer and play some music, maybe bring my I-pod and plug it in to the computers speakers. Play some music, some punk rock, or metal rock. Then just order pizza and say the school ordered it. And then get bored after a while, probably just walk around with the hall pass. Sneak in a triple whopper, tell my cousin to bring it. And after the first week, I would report it. Just to see the difference of when a teacher is a around and when he isn't.

What is your favorite fast food? Tell me a story about that place. It could be funny , sad, or disgusting.

My favorite fast food restaurant is Burger King. Ive always like Burger King since I was a little kid. Once there was a clown at Burger King. Many clowns actually, about three or four. They were just sitting there making jokes about each other and laughing. They were going to buy some burgers. They were going for the BK special. Two whoppers for $3. Its a pretty cheap deal compared to all the other places like McDonald. The clowns were making jokes about how bad and expensive McDonald's is. They would say they wouldn't get full and that the burgers were so tiny, not even a dwarf would get full. So the clowns were going to get their food. But one of them decides to order a Big Mac. The cashier started to tell him that he could get them only at McDonald's. So then the clown replies to him,"Isn't this Burger King, can't we have it our way." Its suppose to be somewhat of a joke but, no one will ever read this.

How has the current weather affected you life?

The rain hasn't affected my life, yet. I'm not sick because of the rain. I really like the rain. It changes the day in a way. I still do the things that I would normally do on a regular day. I wake up in the morning, take a shower, go to school, go out to lunch, finish the school, and go home. Thats what I usually do on regular days and rain doesnt stop me. The only affect that rian has caused me is that I get all wet. Other thatn that im enjoying the rain. Its good to rain every once in a while. Its wet, falls from the sky, and its water. Its not all bad. The only thing i can't do any more is practice. Im suppose to practice with my band every day for the concert on next friday. That is the only big problem I have with the rain.
