Ready or Not

Our game is sooooooo close to being finished. We need to implement the video cut scenes and compress the sound, but other than that we are DONE. I'm almost sure it will be done in time and I guess if worst comes to worst we can leave out the video but we won't have to. The end of the year has thoroughly creeped up but we beat it! Ha we are so close!!!

Mayan 2012

The weather this year has been very whacked out. That being, said I think it's just a natural weather pattern - this stuff cycles in and out all the time, but it just happens that we never seem to remember it the next time it rolls around. The spring is highly unpredictable and the worst blizzards in WV history happened in April. I will say it was odd how little snow we got here, but I'm chalking that up to natural occurences, too. Though, sice Dick Clark died I don't see how there can be a new year, so maybe the Mayan's are on to something.

Technology in the Arctic

Filmmakers survived the extreme conditions by bundling up and not spending that much time out in the open. There was a lot of technology used, but honestly it's from 2007, making it kind of outdated. Though they did have some cool tehniques with underwater cameras and helicoptors and planes with attached cameras. It's a cool idea and the show was beautiful. It did show things that the common person had never seen before.

Penguins on the Loose

I think the motive behind stealing the poor penguin was pure stupidity honestly. I think that the idiots just didn't think about the fact that they could be killing an innocent animal or they just plain didn't care. It says they're being charged with trespassing, stealing, and keeping an animal illegaly. However, I think they need to be charged with animal cruelty. I doubt they feel any regret except that they got caught.

The Final Countdown

 

I'm shocked at how little time we have left in the year. I think I've done a lot of procrastinating this year but I still have pretty great grades. Lately a lot of my As have been slipping to Bs, but I think I can get them back up. I think I would've spent a little more time on homework and a little less time on extracurriculars if I could do the year over, but it's also been a great year for me in terms of improv, show choir, and musicals. I'm really going to buckle down next year, since junior year is the one that matters most to colleges. As long as I manage to get out of the year with over 4.0 I'll be happy.
