College Warm-Up

a. When I graduate high school, I would like to major in astronomy, engineering, or something about science. I would like to have a job that would make enough money to support me.

b. Yes, I do want to go to college because going to college could lengthen the choices I have for careers.

c. I think it is important what different majors they offer, if it's far away, the environment, and the price per year of the college. Also, if I enjoy the place it's located like the people and the place(suburbs, city, or small town)

The Dark Lord of Derkholm by Dianna Jones

I am starting to enjoy this book because the further I read, the more I can't resist to stop. Derk is forced to be the dark lord for a year. He has to bring tours of people from other world around their world, but under Mr. Chesney's orders, Derk has to find ways/traps to kill the people going on the tour.

I thought this book was confusing at the beginning, but I started to understand it a little better as I read further on. I do enjoy this book because there are interesting characters such as Mr. Scales who is an enormous dragon that basically blocks out the sun when it flies in the air. Mr. Scales is also responsible for burning Derk and now his son, Blade, must do Derk's work until Derk is all healed.

Technology

I think that we are getting overwhelmed with technology. Everyone in America depends on some sort of electronic device to communicate or entertain themselves. I am not saying that I don't use any technology, but I think that most people wouldn't be as distracted by it. I also think that technology is a great advancement for life because it has made communicating a whole lot easier which has made living easier than 60 or so years ago.
