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. ;)
