I personally did not like the newscast project. I really do not like to hear my own voice and see myself on a screen in front of me. I think the worst part about the entire project is that everyone in the class will be watching it. Definitely not a big fan of that! On the other hand, Katie and I are doing our newscast on the state soccer games. We had a bit of a setback though because our script was deleted. Unfortunately for Katie, she had to write it over again. My job for the project was to make the movie. The movie is actually a slide show of pictures from the games. We haven't recorded it yet, but are planning on doing it tomorrow.

Thanksgiving has to be one of my favorite holidays.  I love all the great food and being with my family.  I am thankful for a lot in my life, but I will try to be a bit more specific.  I am very grateful for my parents, grandparents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and anyone else who is very much apart of my life.  I feel very lucky to have each and everyone of them in my life.  I have no idea where I would be without them.  I am also thankful for my catholic life and education.  In the world we live in, it's nice to know that we can say a pray and know that someone is always listening.  I'm also very grateful to have the opportunity to go to Notre Dame.  It is a very nice school, and I feel so very lucky to have this opportunity.  Those are just some of the things I can think of to be grateful for.

I thought this was funny because Hilary found any way to stay in the election.  Even though she wasn't running for president, she was still with Obama.

Invention!

Alright this next blog is supposed to be about an invention that we would want to create.  I'll admit I'm not the most creative person, but I'll give it a try.  The first thing that came to mind was that I hate travelling especially in a car, and unfortunately riding in a plane is expensive.  So, if I could invent something that would take me anywhere I wanted, that would be awesome!  I'm not exactly sure what it would be called.  I think it would be something like a time machine, you just wouldn't be travelling back in time.  But if that invention were to ever happen, I would be so happy!

Inspirational picture!


      

This is a picure of the cover of the movie Coach Carter.  The movie is about a group of undiaplined boys who want to play basketball. When a new coach is hired, there eyes are opened to many new opprotunities.  The boys begin to ralize what they can really do with their lives, and work to reach their new goals.  This movie inspires me to set goals and strive to acheieve them.  It also made me think about what I really want to do in my life, and how my decisions really do affect my life.

I had a good experience with the podcast. It was hard finding a scary movie to do my podcast on because I don't watch very many scary movies. Once i decided what movie I was doing, I wrote my script and recorded it. I also had trouble finding back round noises to fit the theme of my movie. I think the sounds I picked were alright. I didn't really enjoy this assignment, because I don't really like listening to my own voice, but now that we are done with the assignment I'm OK.
