Dirty Money
Money is one of the most transferred thing on the planet and because of that, one of the dirtiest. Many sicknesses are transmitted through the handling of money. For example, Carolyn is sick with the flu and she gives Kathy money to buy her mother a present for her birthday. Kathy goes to Wal-mart and buys the present and gives the money that sick Carolyn touched to the cashier. Jesse goes in because he is not sick and buys a DVD and the cashier gives him the same money that Kathy gave her. Jesse gets sick because of Carolyn's germs in a roundabout way. That is only one of the ways that money can get dirty. People sneezing on them; people using money to do drugs; people putting their money in their shoes or clothes when they don't have any pockets. These are only a few of the many ways that money picks up germs and dirt. Coins can be washed and disinfected but paper money cannot be cleaned. One-dollar bills only last three months when they are in circulation but high-denomination bills, such as fifties and twenties, are replaced far less often and both have great risks of carry sickness. When you handle money, be sure to wash your hands afterward and never put money near your face to avoid getting sick.

Tip for Scholarship applications!!!
Oh my!!! I am going to graduate in five months!!! How on earth do I pay for college??? Well, you should have already been working on them but, if you haven't, all hope is not lost because there are quite a few scholarships you cannot even apply for until the first of the year when tax forms come in. So, here are a few helpful tips...
Fill out your FASFA. You can do it online for free at the FASFA website, Never Ever pay for it. Also, on the "paying for scholarships" issue, never pay more than a postage stamp. If the website is not free then find a new one! (fastweb.com is a great, free site) After you have researched and done your homework narrow down the colleges that you are considering to three or four and focus on them, there a lot of scholarships that will only work through certain schools and programs in those colleges. There are also a lot of scholarships that work in any accredited college, you just have to hunt for them. Google scholarships for your desired major or for the schools that you want to attend.
Do not be afraid of writing essays, you are not being graded, the worst the school or foundation will do to it is not pick you to receive the scholarship. If the scholarship requires an essay...write one!! If you write enough good essays, and turn them into enough places, one might win. When you need reference letters, make sure you give the person you want to write your letter AT LEAST two weeks notice before you need to have it in the mail. If you wait until three days before it is due, the first day he will forget to write it, the second day he will have to go to a funeral, and the third day he will leave it at home. Oh, and make sure you give them a list of your achievements and awards so they don't say you were in the band when you really played basketball or say that you are and A/B student when you really have a 4.4 GPA. Lastly, go work on them NOW!!! If you wait too long you WILL miss out on the opportunity to get many of these scholarships.

Tips for the ACT
Tips for the ACT....
1. Read a lot your junior high, freshman and sophomore years. -these years the stress level and the work load of school are not as high and they are are also crucial development years for your reading abilitiy. Read books that are at or higher than your reading level to progress.
2. Take practice Science tests until you have found the way to process the information. All of the information that you need to answer the questions is there. You just have to figure out where it is on the page.
3. Take Algebra II. Most of the math section is from it with only a little of it being from Algebra I and Advanced Math I (aka Geometry and Trig)
4. Study your grammar. With the ORU english classes, you learn grammar, but if you are in traditional English you probably are not going over a bunch of grammar so you really need to study and understand it.
5. Get a good night sleep before the test. duh.
6. Eat a good breakfast (did the article in the last paper about metabolism?)
7. Do not fret
8. take it at least twice
9. Go in with a friend if you are in an unfamiliar place, such as another school. You will be less nervous waiting in line

Favorite Books:
the Holy Bible:instruction guide to life
Lord of the rings: the movies are better in some aspects but the books are still exceptionally brilliant, Tolkien was a genius.
Redeeming Love: You will cry your eyes out...
Harry Potter: What can I say... Entertaining and NOT of the Devil, this is a series that deserves more grace than it gets, you can see Harry as a type of Christ although he was not written and he is more like a Luke Skywalker than Christ. Luke and Harry both had prophecies made about them before they were even born and saved the galaxy/planet.
Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen's best book that she wrote. Mr. Darcy. Period.

Blog Assignment #44
Over the weekend...I rode my bike 50 miles down the coast of Mississippi. 12.5 miles out both ways from Biloxi and back over the course of two days. On the second day, we stopped at the Hard Rock cafe and ate some awesome food:) I went on this excursion with my venturing crew and we had a great time.
On the trip we almost got hit by a few cars, go some angry glares from pedestrians on the bike path and went up, over and down a three miles long bridge with a big hump for tall boats to go under. FUN!!!! (:
On to the not so fun stuff... On redemption day...I had to write that English paper that they make you write in Purgatory if you killed someone. It took basically the whole day because...well, I would write for half an hour, then watch an episode of ER then write for another 1/2 hour then another episode...etc.,
Last night I was sleeping, yay me, and I had this dream...I was riding my bike and all of a sudden I get off of the bike and lay down in the sand and take a nap...in the middle of Long Beach, weird. And then, my alarm did n'ot go off so my daddy comes in at 6 and says do you get up now and I look at the clock and say on I get up at 5:36 and go back to sleep because somehow 6 is earlier than 5:36. tired. going home to take a nap...or watch ER
Goals for this school year

Blog Assignment #40
Hi. Today is a good day.
Anyway, on to the task at hand.
I am going to talk about grown ups.
These strange beings are in a surplus in all of our stores and markets and therefore rather easy to get one, but many are counterfeits. The fake grown up is a rather dumb, slow, awkward imitation of the real deal. They will say one thing and mean the other. they are often young looking but have a few unclean children tagging along after them.
Genuine grown ups are quite expensive and harder to get but sometimes they will follow you out of the store against your (and the owner's) will and admonish you for what ever you were doing int eh building. They will then proceed to follow you home and live in the best room in the house with the best bathtub and tell you to do their dishes and make you their food. The only way though, to tell a real grown up from a fake one is to look its mouth and then runaway. If it yells at you when you get home and then holds you while you cry in shame for disobeying, they it is a real grown up and you should keep forever and ever.

Blog Assignment #37
Facebook is a social networking site that is extremely useful but potentially deadly. Facebook lets you update your status from where every due to the via text option and see from wherever via Facebook for iPhone app. The site of facebook is useful for communication and entertainment but can be a threat due to unwanted people seeing your status and knowing where you are or will be, hunting you down and killing you in broad daylight. So, facebook can be an awesome place to be if used correctly or a place of torment and fear it not used right. People cyberstalk, bully and gossip via facebook but they also start prayer chains and inform through facebook too. Ergo, giving everybody your info on the world wide web=stupid, dead you. Also, facebook is addictive. Especially farmville. almost half of all users of facebook play, or have played farmville and of the users of farmville spent $725 million in 2009. The game is dreadful and there is even a Farmville Addicts Anonymous also on facebook. i do not play farmville but I am on facebook whenever i am on the computer has a secondary page and I use the communication aspect of the site for communicate and entertainment and I play with pieces of Flair (like virtual political buttons) and happy aquarium (where i have fish tanks of multicolored fish, decorations, and other sea creatures such as penguins and sharks). I like these games and but I will not call them addicting because I go days at a time without getting on flair and aquarium was a phase that i have grown bored with. i don't get the people who play the same game everyday for over a year. Flair is the longest thing I have ever played and not consistent because it is set up that way and went out of the "in" a few years ago.
