Heat Wave

Remember last week when I told you that school was cancelled due to the extreme cold? That's gone now, and we find ourselves experiencing the warmest temperatures we've seen in quite sometime.  It's lovely to see the temps finally go above zero degrees.  It feels like Spring because of this.  I hope it's around for a long time to come!

Lately, I've found myself announcing starting line-ups for boys basketball games at my high school.  I did the girls team for the first time last night.  One thing I like to do differently though is announce both teams with the same amount of enthusiasm. Some people like it, and some hate it.  Either way though, I'm going to keep doing it the same way, as I'm sure the other team and their fans like to get hyped up rather than just being read off in a monotone.

As for the story, I have made some progress this week.  I moved through Chapter 19 and into 20 while tying up the loose ends in 18.  I think Chapter 20 will be the last chapter in Chicago,  as the story has been planted there for ten chapters now, and you've got to move locations at some point.  I can't wait to move to the new location, which is where the action really begins!

I'll update this again on Friday, January 17th

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
