N-5 My Day


I am not really sure what I want my choice blog to be about, so I am just going to babble about my day.  It started off by me waking up late to go to the weight room in the morning.  My alarm did not go off at 5:10 AM like it was supposed to.  It did not go off at all and I woke up on my own at 5:57 AM.  After I got up, I took a shower and got ready for school.  I left my house and walked down my slippery driveway, down to my car because my car could not make it up the driveway last night.  As I was walking down the driveway, I almost slipped on an icy patch of gravel.  I left my driveway and drove to pick up Austin Zelasko for school.  We got to school at 7:06 AM.  I started off my day with my civics class.  We were doing a project in that class and we got the whole class to work on it.  I finished about half of it throughout the duration of the class.  It was a hefty packet, about seven pages front and back.  After that class, I had English.  I like English class because lately we have been reading an interesting novel, Tuesdays With Morrie.  Today during class, we had to work on questions for the final part of the novel.  My third class of the day was Calculus.  I HATE this class and we had a test in it today.  I had no clue what the heck I was doing.  When I got the test, it kind of looked like Chinese or maybe even Japanese.  There were 15 multiple choice questions and 4 short answer questions.  I probably guessed on 6 of the multiple choice questions and I didn’t do one of the short answers at all.  I feel like I probably failed it, and I am okay with it, I think.  Now, I am in this class writing this blog and my wrist is starting to hurt, see ya!

N-4 Google Glass


I am excited and scared about the Google Glass glasses.  It shows you how advanced our technology has become, but it makes you wonder what else can we do?  I feel these glasses will create lots of problems, but also be convenient.  I feel school will ban them right away because they will make it very easy for students to cheat on tests and assignments.  These are supposed to replace cell phones I am guessing, so what happens to all of the cell phone carriers.  They will probably go out of business unless they merge with Google and create their own variation of these glasses.  If not, how many jobs will these glasses get rid of?   Another concern of mine is that people are going to try and drive with these things on and it will be very distracting.  How are the police going to try and enforce this?  I saw an example of how these glasses could be used as a GPS, but how will the police know you are using it as a GPS and not talking to a friend.  I love the fact that you can video chat with someone and they can see what you see.  It is very intriguing to see these glasses and I am very anxious to get a pair.  Also, I was wondering if you could attach the video thing to a pair of Oakley’s or something to make it more fashionable.  I do not like the design of the glasses, they look weird.   If they were a pair of Oakley’s, they would be the sweetest thing on the planet.  Imagine being the first person to have a pair of these in your school.  You would be the coolest person ever.  These glasses are very convenient, but I feel like there are more negatives than positives.  Regardless, I really want a pair and I do not care how expensive they are. 

N-3 Career path

Right now I am employed.  I work at my father’s restaurant.  I have a pretty good gig going on there.  I wash dishes, bar back, bus tables, and mostly eat.  I work three days a week typically and that is enough for me.  I feel like I do a very good job when I do work and that I am one of the better employees.  I would not like to work anywhere else because I do not think I could have countless free meals at any other job.  I eat so much food at my dad’s; I am not sure how he is not out of business because of it.  If I had to choose another job than what I have now it would be to work at Sky Zone.  I feel like that would be a very fun job because you get to manage dodge ball games and jump around the whole time.  My career will not be like either of those jobs.  Next year I am going to college for accounting in hopes to become a CFO in my future.  My aunt is a CFO in Boston somewhere and she makes bank.  Like a lot of money.  Like six figures.  Like oh em gee.  I will have to go to college for five years in order to get my masters in accounting.  I will be going to Daemen College for basically free.  While at college, I will be an intern at my aunt’s company in Boston.  I will probably do that over a summer.  I am really excited to pursue my career and move on with my life.  High school has been fun, but it is time to get serious.  I am ready and anxious to explore life and do what I want to do.  You wish you were as cool as me.  Don’t you, Mr. Currin?

N-2 Spring time


The spring time is very exciting.  It is the start of one of my favorite sport seasons.  I love baseball because it is very relaxing and fun to play.  This baseball team has the potential to be one of the best teams in Alden history.  We have great pitching and we can all hit the baseball really well.  Also another aspect of our team is that we are pretty deep in positions.  Spring means nicer weather and and a lot of cleaning.  I love being able to go outside without wearing a jacket.  I like spring time because this spring, I will be able to see my little brother play on his first baseball team.  He will probably play pretty well because I have been playing catch with him all summer.  I like spring because it is nice not having to deal with the cold weather and snow.  Another benefit of the spring is being able to drive my car with my sun roof open.  That always gets the ladies.  Spring time also means that I will have to wash my car more often.  Spring is great because Easter is during the spring.  I love Easter because we always have the best food for my family to eat. 
I hate spring too.  I hate spring because it is always muddy which means the inside of my car will get dirtier faster.  Also it typically rains a lot during the spring season.  Also spring is kind of like a teaser because the weather usually is not warm enough to open my pool, but I always want to jump in it anyway.  Another thing I hate about spring is that my mother turns into a clean freak as soon as the weather is nice enough to go outside.  There are great things about spring and then there are bad things as well.
