In Jon Hamilton's article "Multitasking Teens may Be muddling their brains," he states that when people multitask, they may feel like they are getting a lot of stuff done, but really, their brains are shutting down. If you multitask, think of doing a math problem, then while you are in the middle of it stopping and changing a song on itunes or something. Then you would have to recollect all of the steps in the problem and it would take longer to do it all over again. Then it might happen again.
Multitasking only two things isn't that bad, it depends on what you are doing. If you are on the laptop, you will have to switch back and forth, and sometimes you might even get distracted and go to another site. If it is something like music, that is in the background. You wouldn't have to change it, and you would also keep you sharp. But still if you multitask a lot of things at once, you will go slower than someone that is focusing on one subject.
Today so far I got to start to make a box of clay in art class. It was very fun, and I liked flattening it too. The only downside to that is, it got my hands really dirty. The next period I had a math quiz and I passed it, and I played a game that was pretty fun. I had to have very good strategy to win. It was sort of like chess, but I'm not good at chess so I lost.
Next period, I have a science test. I only missed one on the practice test, so I am pretty confident about this. After that I have Core and Spanish. I don't have tests in those classes. Lastly, I have P.E. but it is raining so I don't think we will do anything outside. After school I have a baseball game, but it probably got rained out.
If I were in the Middle Ages, I would buy indulgences for me coveting. I know that is one of the ten commandments, but sometimes I can't help myself, and I would pay at least twenty dollars to buy one. I don't think Indulgences should cost anymore than that. Except for indulgences on murder or stealing, others shouldn't cost much.
Personally, I wouldn't even think indulgences work, but back then there wasn't much to believe. A better way to get forgiveness was to believe, and have faith in him. That is what Martin Luther said, and he was very serious about his criticizms. He even posted 95 theses in a church door so everyone could see. Printing presses helped
The quote that I heard today was "Be the cange you want to be in the world." This pretty much means that you have to change yourself before you want to make changes in the world. In other words; instead of dreaming and wishing, you should go out and make a change or at least try to start something.
Michael Jackson made a song: "Man in the Mirror" It was about the same thing. Before you make changes, change yourself. It might be hard to change yourself but it is possible. By changing yourself, it sets a good example, then spreads like a rumor. So if you do change yourself, you should tell your friends, so they can spre
Today is Friday, and Spring break starts tomorrow. I am pshyced about it. I have a lot of sports to do, but I'm afraid I can only play baseball. My knee was hurting for about a month and it really started to hurt last week, so I went to the doctor, and I noticed that I have Osgood Schlatters.
Osgood Schlatters is a disease most teenagers from 13-16 get if they are athletic. It is when the tendon between your shin, and your knee cap is stressed. When someone has to use their quad muscles a lot, it puts stress on that tendon and that is what happens. So now, I have to take advil, and ice my knee a few times a day. Yesterday I iced my knee three times but I am annoyed because I iced the wrong spot so it still hurts a lot.
If I had unlimited money over spring break I would do so many things with it. First of all, Unlimited money is unlimited. I would pay off all the debts the United States has, then I would pay them more so they wouldn't get in debt. later, I would buy clothes a baseball bat and shoes for myself. Than I would pay the rest on charities.
I would buy as much clothes I could get so I wouldn't have to buy anymore, the baseball bat I would get is an Easton lcn10, and I would just pay in every charity I would see at least ten million in each because I would have unlimited money.
If I were in charge of the world, I would try as hard as I could to fix every country's problems. For the United Sttes I would Make everyone pay off the debt to China. (rich people would pay more.) Then I would make sure that the prices go down, so we won't have to pay foreign countries for oil, and other natural resources.
In other countries I would make secret intelligence services un secret. So their will be no secrets kept from citizens, and the citizens could help. All of this sounds very easy to do, but I know for a fact that most things are easier said than do
Two days ago, on Saturday, I finished "Crispin the end of Time". It was the last book in the trilogy of historical fiction books. The book was great, but I think they should make a fourth one. The trilogy is about a boy that was a peasant living in the middle ages. He was accused of stealing and murduring all because he knew that the noble: Lord Furnival was dead.
Later in the first book, he finds out that he is Lord Furnival's son, but he doesn't want to be royal so he leaves the city, and his guardian dies. From their he wanders around in woods, and finds a family to live with. He later finds out that they are thieves and murdurers So he and the family's servant go on a ship and set sai
Today is Friday, once again, it is going to be a usual friday. The things we do at school aren't usual though, so I guess it is another unusual Friday. Today I want to do the leadership game. We have to play a game where we put a potatoe between our knees not our thighs. Then we have to walk and not hop about ten meters, and drop the potatoe in a bucket.
I took an algebra quiz, and I didn't understand one problem, but I aced it. I wasn't sure how, but I guess I got lucky? I also had a spanish test, I aced it also, I feel good about my grades this quarter I am maintaning A's and A-'s Believe it or not, I have an A+ in this class right now; computers, this class is fun, and right now I am learning about an explorer. His name is Panfilo de Narvaez.
If I could have a conversation with Leonardo da Vinci, or Michalengelo, I would have it with Leonardo da Vinci. I respect both of them for their work, but according to the video notes I had to take in core, Michalengelo wasn't serious, and he was a bad influence on artists looking up to him. But he still made pretty good sculptures.
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius, he knew how to do many things, and if he didn't choose to be an artist, he still could've done many things with his life. He also took painting serious, and practiced a lot, unlike Michalengelo. Also, Leonardo da Vinci could teach me how to draw with perspective. I've been trying to learn how to do that for a very long time now since I am in art class, I want to get better.
