Journal - What are you weekend plans?
I have absolutely nothing planned for the weekend. Probably the only thing I will do is play GTA 5 and do homework. I will probably go golfing at Iron Horse too if the weather is good enough.

Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I think it is important to cite so your not taking credit for someone else's work. It is necessary. It is appropriate to cite on research projects and anytime you take information from a book or site. It's important so the author gets credit for their work.

Journal - Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
I do not enjoy writing in most cases. The only time I will enjoy writing is when it is fiction. I like fiction because it's all made up and you can type and type without stopping because there is nothing set in stone of what you have to write. Writing is essential because it's another way of communication. It's just like talking, if your not speaking clearly or making sense no one will know what your saying, if you write something that doesn't make sense or is in bad hand writing no one will know what your saying either. I will use this skill in emailing important people and for English Language Arts.

Journal - What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
It's important to create an outline so your not making up the project "on the spot". It helps me to make an outline so that I know exactly what to say when to say it. I prefer to make my outline on pen and paper because I can make it faster and it's easier to edit. Bullet points and your brain.

Journal - Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
On Saturday I had a football game at Bishop Miege which is like 30 minutes away. It started at 11 and I got back at 2 somehow. We should of won but we lost 22 to 30. The refs screwed us over with two, maybe three game changing calls that weren't in our favor. On Sunday I went out to breakfast at FirstWatch, it's where the old BlockBuster used to be. Then I went home, watched the Chiefs game. Next I went to a friends house, ate pizza and watched more NFL. I came home and did my homework for about an hour. Then I watched Miss America, I wanted Miss Kansas to win so bad but then Miss New York won and it ruined the rest of my night.

Journal - Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my dad. My dad is always there for me and if I have a question I know I can ask him. He is always helping out with football and school. He gives me more self confidence also. I know that he will help me out with big problems in the future even if I don't come to him for help.

Journal - What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Good email etiquette is being formal and easy to read. It would also be helpful a lot of times to get straight to the point and not to type a story if your asking for resources. It is essential in the "real" world to have the ability to write good emails because it would help the client more and possibly make the client like you more. Having good email etiquette can put you ahead because it will possibly make the person think you are smarter than you might actually be.

Journal - If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
If I could fix a global issue in the world I would find a cure for cancer because my grandma had breast cancer but survived through chemotherapy. There are so many people that have cancer anyway and die from it which is sad because you can't prevent it. It's a family thing, you get it through your genes, so that means my mom and sister will probably get it too. It has affected her so much and I hope humans don't have to go through it for the rest of eternity.

Journal - On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
A PSA is a commercial or advertisement that is trying to convince someone of an important issue, it is broadcasted on TV or the radio. If I could make a PSA I would make one for safe driving because I'm just starting to drive. I would want everyone to make smart choices on the roads so I don't die.
