Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

I did complete the photo scavenger hunt Friday at school, before the end of the hour. I was able to capture fun photos of people walking away, people waving, and of someone laughing in the hallway. I have attached one of the photos (the one of the hallway) because of how it looks. The end of the hallway leads to a gold door, which I think symbolizes graduation.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I do not know anything about photography. Sometimes, using my iPhone, i can take very good photos especially of scenery. I don't really edit them at all before i post them anywhere, although sometimes i crop them. I have used the different picture functions (square, video, picture, panorama, etc.), used cropping tool, red eye tool, and filters before.I do like it, because my pictures are usually very good. I will attach a couple of my photos:

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

This spring break was very memorable. I went to San Juan and Rio Grande, Puerto Rico with my dad. We went deep sea fishing for 4 hours and $1100, but didn't catch a single thing. We aren't sure why, besides fishing is a hit or miss sport. We spent a ton of time on the beach of course, and went to the Kioskos de Luquillo. These kiosks are a line of shacks (about 75 total) that each have different things. A lot of them had bars so we went there most nights. Before the fishing (or really boat ride) trip, we went up to the cloud forest/rain forest called El Yunque. I have plenty of pictures from there, and I also fell into the waterfall and face-planted onto a Prius-sized rock. My phone got wet and stopped working, but started working fully again the next day. I got to translate and speak Spanish a lot, which is also what I was wanting to do. 

Besides go to PR, I hung out with friends back here and fished. So, all in all, it was a fantastic spring break, and I never wanted it to end, but knew it had to. I doubled up on the antidepressants and i'm back at school.

Blog Post of the Day:
What are you doing for Spring Break?

This Spring Break, I will be relaxing at home with my friends and family. On top of that, I will be running first response BLS medical response in Johnson County on most days. This Sunday through next Wednesday, I will be deep sea fishing in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Me encantara ir a Puerto Rico porque tendre la opurtunidad para practicar el espanol! I am going there with my dad, and we will be staying in a 4 star resort on the beach. Warning: I may not come back. I may emancipate myself and live there homeless. This Saturday, before I leave for PR, I will be going to Lawrence with my friends to the Granada Theater to go to the Skizzy Marrs Concert. It's going to be an amazing spring break!! I cant wait!

If you were to give somebody information on how to create an awesome presentation, what 10 pieces of advice would you give them.


1. Have a research question/ scope of topic
2. Research the topic well using academic sources: not .com nor wikipedia
3. Create a presentation with Prezi or Powerpoint
4. Create a notecard with notes that will guide you in the presentation. DO NOD READ OFF OF IT
5. Rehearse your presentation at home aloud. practice with siblings, friends, family, pets, or by yourself.
6. The class period before- read through notes again.
7.TAKE A CHILL PILL. if you're like me, and have an anxiety attack during presentations, take your meds, or drink some soda or water, and eat a snack.
8. Take Deep Breaths
9. DO NOT READ OFF NOTES NOR SCREEN. LOOK AT AUDIENCE AND SPEAK TO THEM.
10.Thank the audience for their time
