Weekend @ PSU

I went to Penn State this weekend to the blue and white game and once again PS has fulfilled my expectations for a good time. I Absolutely love it there. Their school spirit and pride is unbelievable. Sometimes i wish i would have gone to a bigger school for that reason. Slippery Rock is a good school don't get me wrong, but there are just so many different people and things to do there. But SR is definitely more known for their PE program so I'm glad i went here.

Podcasting

I just finished up doing my podcasting for tech pete thats due Thursday . I had never done a poscast before, but it was surprisingly easy to do. It was hard to keep a straight face when i had to talk and not laugh because my partners kept laughing, but other than that it wasnt half bad. Im not sure if i would use podcasts for my classroom, but its good to know anyway just in case.

bully's in HS

I saw on the news That these high school video taped themselves beating up another classmate to the point that she was knocked unconscious. They did this because they wanted to post the video on myspace for everyone to see because apparently the girl had been talking trash about them. The video was disturbing, it really makes me think about why kids are acting that way. There has always been drama in HS but when did it start being taken to this level. And the sad part is that i have heard before of other insidenses of this happening. I wonder if myspace and the advancements in technology have anything to do with this change.

nogo to the backpacking trip

So the backpacking trip that i was suppose to go on was cancelled. The People that were suppose to reserve the vans ended up not writing it down or something so we had no way of getting to minister valley. I'll admit i was disappointed about it. I was actually looking forward to the trip other than having to sleep outside in the freezing cold of course. I plan on doing totrail anyways, but with some of my friends. Anyone know of any other good hiking trails around the area??

rad.

My friend carries b-day is coming. It was so hard for me to figure out what to get her this year! I got on walmart.com and under the photo section they had these cool ideas. One that stuck out most was a wall clock, sounds dumb but its actually really cool because the face of it is any picture you want. I picked it up today and it was better than i imagined. Its something new and different so im sure she'll like it. If anyone needs a funky gift to give check it out.

all ready to go!

Tomorrow i am going backpacking for outdoor pursuit. Im really looking forward to the trip except for the high chances of snow and rain. I dont think i'll enjoy hiking 12 miles in the rain. I do love being outdoors though. So, anyway im hoping i have everything all ready and packed. I am pretty sure i havent forgotten anything, at least im praying i didnt. Well wish me luck!

Fire!

Over the weekend some of my friends came up from my hometown. Love my best friend Terra to death, but she almost burned down my apartment! She popped one of those soft pretzels from the freezer into the microwave and she asked me how long they have to go in for and i said 70 seconds. Well dear dear Terra thought i said 7 minutes! Before we knew it smoke was pouring out of the microwave! We hurried and flung open all the windows, but the alarm went off anyway. No harm is done except our microwave kinda smells bad now when you use it, but thats temporary and the pretzel and the plate it was on needed to be trashed.
