Final Blogging Challenge!

I've written about a total of 25 posts that all have to do with this blogging thing from school. They were all school based other than like maybe 2 because we had to more write them about ourselves but they were still class based. The amount of comments I received from people on my blog would probably be about 15'ish, I didn't have too many people comment on my stuff because I didn't make it that public. The post with the most comments would be the one when I said something about school that was a little bit negative and some people commented on it telling me that school is good for me in the long-run. I enjoyed writing all the posts that I could write about things that I personally liked not the ones about things i personally wasn't interested in. The one where we picked a whole bunch of pictures to tell a story was probably the most fun though. I did not change blog themes at all throughout this whole challenge. i have 5 widgets. They're a translator, a voki, a music player, a cluster, and a blog action day badge. I think that 5 is a good amount because any more and it might get to be too much.

She thought it was very well organized and written, also it was good that i kept up with it and didn't just ignore it. My Voki thing captured her attention just for the fact of it being a person that moves with your cursor. My music was the thing that stuck out to most people on there because they didn't know where it was coming from and then you'd have to show them. She said I could maybe update it a little more and be a little more appropriate because there are other little kids that go on here.

Teens using their phones!

Teens are using their phones in many different ways. I use mine to call, text, make plans, keep track of things I'm doing in the calendar, take pictures, keep notes of things that I won't be able to remember. Some kids use theirs for the same things and some use them for other things too. The things I listed are the main things! A downfall that a lot of kids do is sexting, or other crap like that. No worries though, I do not do that stuff! :)

Creative Common license

I think people should have a creative common license on blogs because otherwise people are going to be able to steal what you are doing and that's not right. Normally it's just classmates and teachers on my blog but I have gotten people from other places on there and commenting.

My video about Animal Farm!



We are reading the book Animal Farm in my English class. So the assignment we had today was to find a youtube video that had to do with Animal Farm and embed it into our blog. I picked this video because it's the song that they sang in the beggining of the book. When they would work, win something, or if they were jsut plain old happy they would sing it. Later on in the book though Napoleon takes over (he's one of the pigs) and they are no longer allowed to sing it. Instead they have to sing a different one.

Blogging Challenge 4!

To save energy you could turn off the lights at your house. Somethings that my family and I could do would be play games with a candle burning. You could play talking games, for example 'Would You Rather'. There are quite a few options. You could just catch up as a family cause I know that not a lot of families get time to do that.

I'm writing this for a blogging challenge, you can check it out at: Blogging Challenge

If you were to travel to Wisconsin..



If you were to travel to Wisconsin or any of the neighboring states around it the thing you would see is definately cows. Other things you might want to see would be a Packer game. Now, Wisconsin doesn't have the hottest guys but there sure are some! I would have to say when we're at our best would be when the Abercrombie & Fitch models come to the malls for their stores :), just kidding!

Blogging Challenge: Veteran

I think that teenager, or children can start using real photos of themselves when they're mature enough not to put gross ones on there for people to see and think bad of them. I can't really find anything on the internet to back me up on this topic. That is my opinion though. When I was in about 7th grade is when I started putting pictures of myself on the internet, and none of them have been bad. So that's my evidence..

I did this for a blogging challenge! Here's a link if you would like to go check it out. Blogging Challenge!

SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

The biggest encounter that I encounter with learning at school would have to be trying to not fall asleep when the teacher's talking. Another thing is that I am not good at hearing things and remembering what they are. I need more hands on! It would help if I enjoyed what I'm learning about too. Things I like to learn about are computers things until it gets too technical. It's more just like social networking things, or learning about girly things. I guess that's an answer all teenage girls would say though! If i could learn anything that I wanted to right now it would have to be everything about cosmetology. I wanted to be a cosmetologist but decided that I would rather go to real college and then go back to cosmetology school if I still desired it. Here's a link to the school I would possibly want to go to: http://www.beautyschoolsdirectory.com/schools/martins_madison/index.php . The things I want to learn when I get out of high school is more stuff to work with people. One of the things I'm possibly considering for a career is being a counselor. In 5 years I will just be turning 21, and you know what that means! I will obliviously be still in my partying stage....I'm assuming. So I think the link I'll give you is one of an apartment, that I'm sure I'll have to pay rent with someone else to keep. Here's the link: http://toonenproperties.com/ .

slide.com: highly recommended!




The name of the site i used was called slide.com. Their site looks a little bit like this: http://www.liewcf.com/blog/wp-images/slide-screenshot.jpg
Slide.com is totally free for the public, it's good to use it on like facebook, myspace, or any other social networking site. It makes you slide shows that you can customize the way you would like. You could use it as a quick presentation for school, like you wouldn't have to use a power point use go to slide.com. Overall it seems very useful!

Writing the past 2 months!

I think I've grown as a writer by the way I talk sometimes in the writing. I used to have to watch what I said and monitor my stuff. I feel like now that that's not as necessary; it is in someways but not as much. My writing is better, still not great but better. It gets better every year I would have to say. I actaully do like to write because I feel like I have a lot to say! :) I'm pretty good at writing with literary elements when a teacher tells me to. I struggle at times trying to make things all flow together, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I know this sounds funny, but it kind of depends on what kind of day I'm having!

What I'm thinking.. :)

Lately what I've been thinking about most is driving everywhere! I got my license last Tuesday I think it was and I've discovered I love love love driving! Anyways, other things are on my mind like you know little things but they're kinda not very good rated for the blog so I'll refrain and tell you about something else ;). For example Abbi's sitting next to me and she's listening to Ego by: Beyonce, that rbings me to another subject. I HATE PEOPLE WITH BIG EGOS! It's like reall get over yourself already, your no better thant he rest of us. I have a few people in my head but OBLIVIOUSLY I'm not going to point anyone out on here cause you know we wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad now. I hate it also when people only think about themselves and how it will affect them, or don't care about other peoples feelings! A'ughh, these are jsut a couple of my pet peeves!

Goals.

The kind of goals I have for myself as the end of the semester approaches is to at least have all A's and B's. I think I had a pretty sucessful 1st semester considering last year my grades were not very good and they're improving this year. Second semester I would like to have all A's, but I know that that will not happen! I hope to get good grades at least high B's. My grades need to be good because I don't want to have very high rates for my driver's insurance. Those are my goals, I hope you like :)!

Makenzy Ellis' christmas break!

During my Christmas break I did quite a lot of things! The first couple days I just hung out with my family. On Christmas day my family does a round robin. We only did two houses this year because sometimes it gets to be too much. First off we went to my house where there was A LOT of food and I think I gained about 4575647654 pounds. One of the next nights I was at Abbi's house. Jenna came over too and we all just hung out because we hadn't in a while! That was a lot of my Christmas break :)!
