Who is you favorite villain? 

        My favorite villain would have to be the joker from the Dark Night, in Batman. I like this character simple because of his evil actions, and his anger towards batman. Also this character is my favorite because of his voice. In the Dark Night, the joker does a lot of crazy things, like blowing the man up in the prison, setting hardy on fire, and robbing the largest bank in the world. 

        In the Dark Night the joker has this crazy hair style, it is like green, yellow, black, blue, and purple. His clothing is a purple suit, and it is always dirty. He really like to kill people, and enjoys fighting Batman. He is always mad, and kills his own people. This is my favorite villain.

 Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

        The furthest I have traveled from home was to Australia. I went to Australia during the summer of 2012. When I went to Australia I was traveling with a group of people in the student ambassador program, "people to people." This group was founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower, back in 1957. He founded this group because he wanted to get young people involved world peace, and to not stereotype, and let the young learn about different cultures. I started this program when I was in the 5th grade, and I have been traveling with People to People for 4 years now. 
        So in the summer of 2012, I had the opportunity to travel to Australia. It was a really nice place to be, because everybody was really friendly, nice, and accepting. When we left the U.S. for the flight, we left out of Dallas, Texas. The flight was 21 hours to Sydney, but it was worth it. This is defiantly the furthest I have ever been from home. Next summer I will have another opportunity to go to Australia again, with Dr. Hawking.

Deserted Island

Island Simulation

         On Friday our class did a plane crash simulation, where we survived a plane crash on an island, and we didn't know what part of the world we were in. In class I didn't really take the simulation seriously because I knew we weren't in that situation then. But if we were in that situation I would be really serious. I would be so focused and listen for a while then say adios and run away from the group.
         If we were in a situation like that I would run away from the group because the fewer number of people you have, the better chance of survival you have, because you don't have to worry about fighting, and food, etc. I would also not bring anybody with me and if I would bring somebody with me I would bring no one. I wouldn't bring anybody with me because i wouldn't have to deal with food scarce, moving, and cooking for two or more people.

State next Wednesday and Thursday

        If you don't know, I swim for the varsity swim team at EHS. I've been swimming for the school on varsity since 5th grade. I have made state every year since 6th, and as the years go by the state qualifying time go down or we change divisions like this year. Varsity swimming is now in division 4, which means that we have a pretty good shot of winning state this year. If our team wants to win state this would be the year to do it because next year 8 of the guy swimmers will be leaving since they are Seniors.
        At state this year I will be swimming the 200 free, and the 100 back. Every state meet I have been to I always swim 100 back, because that is what I am best at. Our state meet is next wednesday and thursday, 11/20 and 11/21. This will be our finally state meet that has over 15 guys, since next year we will only have 6 guys next year. We will be leaving for Sulphur after school on Tuesday, it will be around 5:00 when we leave.
