What the mind is capable of!

Watch "Pogo3D - Upular (Virtual 3D)" on YouTube
I think this is crazy! This just goes to show how strong your mind is and this is just so amazing that I had to share it with everyone!! You need headphones. It will not work without them.

French!

    So some of my friends were wondering how I'm doing french in the NLC. So in the way the NLC does french is through Rosetta Stone, If you don't know what that is its a computer based language teaching system... I guess you could call it. The way it teaches is by matching pictures and words, it teaches you the language the same way you would learn as a small child. The language lesson is split up into levels and the levels are split into smaller lessons. I like this way of learning because you get to interact with the language and not just write it down on a piece of paper. The rosetta stone goes a lot faster than the regular classes, which I like. I have already learned more than an average grade nine only using rosetta stone. Well, that was my little comment of what I'm doing. Au revior! ;)

Wooden Plate!

Ah, a new week a new assignment. This week we will be making plates in my woodwork class, I'm particularly excited about this assignment because I like making things and working with wood, we have use a couple big tools already and I have to admit i was nervous but who wouldn't be? We used the miter saw last week to cut our wood from the stock and today we used the plainer to flatten our wood so that it is even. Some people preferred the hand plainer because the wood shop teacher drew a finger on a thin piece of wood and took the "finger" off in a split second with the tool... I didn't let this faze me because there was no way my fingers were getting near that little spinning blade. I always had that little thought in the back of my mind that re-played the chunk of wood disappearing into saw dust in seconds, only that could've been my finger. Needless to say, I pained my wood and its super flat and smooth so the next step in gluing the two pieces together but that will be next class. But anyways, bye for now ^-^

Little rant of what I like to do and hope to do

Hi all! I think that is is important to know what you are going to do later in your life when you are in high school or at least have an idea so I'm going to share with you some ideas I have for during and after my high school life :) 
    I have a couple of interests that will help me plan what jobs I could do later on in life. Some of my passions in life are crafts, baking and making things pretty. I love to draw and doodle but I'm not good at it. When I was younger I would take plasticine and make little figurines like pigs and octopuses. With my passion for crafting and baking came the idea of culinary arts. I think I would love to be a baker and make cakes that are so gorgeous and creative that some day I will have my own T.V show or even work for a famous baker like Buddy from cake boss. I have always had a passion for designing things so I have made multiple "cakes" out of play dough. I have always been proud of my creativity and abilities to make little creatures and figures. I have talked to my aunt (she is very crafty also) about making cakes and we have agreed to make my own birthday cake, I am particularly excited about this because I have a love for pigs and I already have an idea of what my cake will look like. I have a very ambitious mind so I will think of something that is wild and awesome in my mind but when the time comes for me to do/make what I have in my mind it gets so out of hand that I cant do it and it upsets me. My idea for my cake will be a half circle with pink icing and a pig nose and ears made of fondant. I really hope you enjoyed this little peek into what I'm like and what I hope to do in the future! If you have any suggestions (cake ideas ;) ) or questions please feel free to ask/ say in the comments and I will answer/ reply as best and as fast as I can! Also check out my other blog posts!
