Spring Sports February 26

Spring sports have just begun which means its lacrosse season! This year we have around 26 girls playing so the coaches decided to make one whole varsity team. The team is divided into three groups though for playing time. The top group plays the "varsity" games and generally has the most playing time. There's a middle group of 6 who plays the varisty and jv games with a decent amount of playing time. And there is also a bottom group of six who will play some, but not a whole lot. We had our first two games Thursday night against Allen and we killed them in both games. Our first game we won 15 - 8, and our second we won 11 - 3. We're off to a great start and I look forward to the rest of the season.

Winter Break

For the first time ever, we started our winter break off with several inches of snow! It was the most snow I'd seen in Dallas and it was really exciting. But rather than playing in the snow all day, I headed off to Houston for the SPC tournament with the other winter sports. SPC was super fun and we did a good job overall. It was also fun to bond with all the girls especially when it came to freshman initiation...because valentine's day was coming up we had to write "love letters" to upper classmen guys. But overall I had a fun time and I look forward to it again next year. Recently, I found out that I was accepted into the Interlochen school, so I'm extremely excited to go there this summer. Lacrosse tryouts began this week, but there might only be a varsity team because of the lack of people playing. But it should be a fun season! The sadies dance is next weekend so that should be fun as well.

SPC Weekend

Last weekend, the varsity winter sports traveled to Houston to compete in the SPC tournament. Girls basketball and soccer were competing for division II champs and men's soccer and basketball was competing for division I champs. Men's soccer and basketball were both successful at winning the first place titles. They both did great jobs in their games and it was fun to watch them. Women's basketball was doing well, during the first half of their final game, but during second half the oposing team was able to get a few points ahead. The girls finished out with second place which was awesome! Our soccer team won our first game pretty easily. We were pumped for our second game, but unfortunately we weren't able to get a goal in so we lost 1 to 0. In our final game, we played Oakridge and defeated them 6 to 0. It was a fun weekend and we made 3rd place. We had hoped for a better turn out, but we look forward to our season next year.

Mobile Devices

People tend to use their phones, itouches, or ipods as helpful devices throughout the school day. Besides texting with friends or listening to music, people use them for other purposes that help them during the day. Some people use their cell phones to text themselves or write down notes at reminders for homework or assignments. Others might use their calendar to mark down upcoming tests or quizzes. Others might use their itouches and ipods as a device to listen to "books on tape" or listen to podcasts for their language class. I don't use my phone or ipod for much school use but I sometimes use my phone to write down reminders for assignments.

SNOW DAY!!!!

February 11, 2010

Today is the first snow day of the year in dallas and its probably the most snow we've had in a long time. When I woke up this morning everything was covered with snow and its continued to snow throughout the day. Unfortunately, school was not cancelled but most of our classes involve playing outside. There have been lots of snowballs thrown around but some teachers don't approve of our fun. But everyone is excited and hopefully we'll get to leave early. Well some of are already leaving early because of SPC in Houston so that will be fun. Hopefully the weather is a little better there. But I hope the snow lasts for the rest of the weekend! During computer class we went outside to take pictures and there were several attempts to get me covered in snow...Garrett tried tackling me into the snow but fortunately his plan did not work. Trevor and Bennett were successful though at hitting me with snow balls...thanks. Well that's it for now!

Logos

Logos are symbols that can represent a person, group, place, company, and etc. Good Logos are easy to look at, easy to remember, and they have good color and design. A good logo should be a clear image that all people should be able to read.

For example, the Mtv logo is good because its a clear image and doesnt need color to be memorable. Whenever someone sees the Mtv logo they automatically know what it is.


I also think Nike has a great logo because the logo includes the name and the nike "swoosh" is never forgotten.
