For my choice topic I read an article about hemp by Lawerence Wilson, MD. I read about the history, the uses, the ban, in paper, and in America. To me hemp seems like a great option to use to "go green". This article opened my eyes to how much more I think governemnt is corrupt. We wouldnt have to "go green" if our founding fathers didnt base everything on money. Our world would have stayed green and the some of pollutates that our in our atmosphere now wouldnt be here.
The uses for hemp are numerous. the common misconsception is exactly that with hemp, a misconsception. There is no THC in hemp, it is just a great product that becuase of industrialists was squashed. Hemp can be used in alsmot all aspects of our productions. The most interesting fact I learned from this article was that greed and misguided government action lead to the hemp ban bakc in 1937.

So this weekend I went to starscape festival 2010. It was a huge outdoor music festival that sold out with over 10,000 people in a park in Maryland. It was an amzaing experience and really got me in the summer mood. It was a gorgeous day out, the sun and music were blaring, and the people were crazier then ever. Everyone was dressed in whatever they wanted to wear, feeling good, jamming out. I really love music and to be able to listen to a whole bunch of great artists is amazing and a great feel good experience. I got to see one of my favorite artists, Pretty Lights, and he put on an amazing experience. The light show was out of this world and there was a helicopter circling the show. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It makes me very exctied for summer and the future because it is full of endless possibilites.

current event article

The article I read about was on new findings that the Titanic's design was faulty. This article stating that the Titanic could have very well sunk in a storm simply because of the faulty design. A team paired with the History Channel and Lone Wolf Documentary group discovered that Titanic broke at a very shallow angle. An angle that ships could be subject to if hit by a large storm. Due to the fact that the Titanic sank at such a low angle these scientists proposed that the design of the stern was faulty and even if it had not hit an iceberg if Titanic had run into a large storm the same scenerio would have happened and the ship would have been split in two. To test the scientists theory they ventured to Titanic's sister ship the Britannic to see her design. The evidence they found to support their idea that Titanic's design was faulty is that the Britannic had two extra expansion joint near the stern. To the scientists this suggests that the company building the ships must have known Titanic's design was a bit faulty so they added the two extra expansion joints to the Brittanic. This is a valid conclusion because btoh ships were built in the same yard by the same company yet one design was changed.

my topic week #2

So fourth quarter in my senior year. Because I was a semi-slacker all year i really need to push myself during this last quarter. I have like 6 projects to do right now and I need to get my grades up in like every class. I hopefully can get this accomplished through getting A's on the rest of my homeworks and projects for the year. I am very nervous about AP psychology because I have an F and my final test is 100 questions and I dont remember like any specific facts throughout the year. I really hope I can get all my grades up the way Id like to at least all Cs. I am very excited for old dominion and the college experience and at this point I would be devastated if my acceptance got recalled.

article

The article I read was by an op-ed columnist in the New York Times. This an opinion peace directed to Obama supporters. This article is discussing Obama's pick to serve on the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan. The article is discussing the real side of Elena Kagan's life. How she is a single girlie-girl living and dating in the city. It discussed her education and demeanor in her college years. I think this article was a good one that showed the positive side of the female Supreme court justice nomine.

4th quarter

So senior year 4th quarter finally! No more high school. No more people yelling in the hallways. No more getting in trouble for normal daily things like a cell phone or going out to lunch. No more being treated like im young just becuase I was surrounded by immature students! I am so glad to be almost out and going to odu :) I really didnt enjoy high school whatsoever. I am glad that it is almost behind me!! Lets see the things I didnt like about high school, besides cheerleading and friends everything. The hours are ridiculous, the atmosphere is juvenile, the gossip is pointless, and most of the teachers piling busy work that is completely different from the college work. Why does high school "prepare" you for college yet the way you learn in college is completely different? Stupid stupid and more stupid. ;)

This editoral is stemmed from Tom Hanks and his new series depicting ww2 as all about race and racism. This article talks about how Tom has it depicted wrong and although racism played a huge part Americans werent fully against all those in Asia. In fact the article talks about how in some parts we liberated. hanks says ww11 had a racist motive and that so does the war on terrorism. I thought this editoral was unique because it involved a celebrity and his real thoughts instead of fluff.
