Hurricane IKE

My Dad and I spent all day Friday boarding up our windows and getting extra gas for the generator. We lost power early Saturday morning at 2:30 a.m. and still don't have any. When I woke up Saturday I walked outside and saw huge tree branches on my roof, yard, and street. We lost half of our fence and there was a big tree that fell on our power line. We spent most of Saturday and Sunday picking up and cutting branches. Monday i went to HEB and stood in a huge line to get in and my grandparents came down for a visit and brought some gas, food, and bottled water. Tuesday i worked on my English project and my grandparents left. Wednesday i went to the movies with a friend and helped my dad fix dinner. Thursday I went to my dads work and had lunch with him...then went to the movies again. That weekend i decided to drive to San Antonio to see my friends and family and stay with them sense they had power. We just got power back last week on Friday! And that was my lovely hurricane story.

My Class....

I learned that most of the class likes family guy and a lot like Mexican food. Lots of people also really like country...which i find kinda of strange. Theres a lot of history buffs and a lot of math geeks (including me). Tons of people don't bother to study. Not to many people listen to rock, but a lot listen to rap.

Interview Questions

Our teacher Mrs. Cellular is making us answer some interview questions...

1. My favorite food would have to be spaghetti, I'm like obsessed with olive garden. I love all kinds of music, just not country...that's a BIGGGG no no. I don't have time to watch a lot of TV but when i do i like to watch the hills :) and comedy central, oh and you cant forget family guy or the Simpson's. As for movies i like funny movie and action movies.
2. My favorite subject in school this year would have to be Pre Cal, because i feel like i know what I'm doing in the class and i understand most of it and don't really have problems in that class.I kinda really like aquatic science too, its a really fun class and i love learning about animals and fish. I absolutely HATE English, and I'm a horrible writer...as you can probably tell.
3. For the most part yes, I'm also really good at history because i have a good memory.
4. I am trust worth, independent, and responsible. On the other hand I'm also pretty shy till i get to know somebody.
5. Depends which subject its for, if its for math then i might look over the homework but theres not really any way to study for math. If its another subject such as accounting or economics then yes i defiantly try to study. I study by reading the chapters or reviewing my homework for that class.
6. I would like to learn more about business and see if i would like to go in to this as a career.
7. I think we should divide work in to thirds so we all do a equal amount.
8. I would make a great team member because I'm not lazy and i do the work.

Ipods :)

My team choose Ipods for our billboard project. We choose to premote our product by giving out free Ipods to the first 500 people to come to the October 7th Rocket game. We figured the right price for the Ipod would be $250.00. We choose to sell the product in stores like Walmart, Best buy, apple, and other electronic stores.

Wahoo's Fish Tacos!

Wing Lam, Ed Lee, and Mingo Lee are very successful men. They started a small business called Wahoo's Fish Tacos, this small business grew into twenty stores in southern California and two in Denver, each generating more than $1 million in revenue. I think that these men are incredibly smart and I loved how they marketed their food. They would sample out their food at local sports events, that is a great way create a base of customers. I also love the relaxed and chill vibe of the restaurants.
