I'm College Bound

• I was not really surprised that much other than that I thought I had a higher GPA than 3.5.  It turned out that I had a slightly lower GPA than I expected at 3.47.  It's not like I was that much off but I still want to make sure that my GPA is at 3.5 or higher at all times.  That way I can make sure I have as many choices as possible when it comes to choosing colleges in the future.
• All the schools I want to attend are all really good schools so I wasn't really surprised at the test scores that where needed to get in.  But I didn't really expect how much they cost in comparison to other schools.  And also I forgot about the fact that U.C. Berkley was not a private school so I was surprised at the number of students who went to the school.
• I guess the next step is make sure I improve my grades.  As well as maintain a high GPA throughout the 3 years before I submit my college applications.  Also I need to make sure to stay in or go in new after school programs or clubs.

Touch

     I could feel the tension in the room rising as I waited to feel the item that Diana had. As I was hearing all the reactions of the people who already felt it I became nervous and curios as to what Diana had.  All their ewe and ughs as she stuck their hands in the container of the mysterious material.  As my anticipation rose I started to smell strawberrys and I figured it out.  I was less nervous when I fgured it but I still didn't want to get my hand all sticky.
     As my hand was dipped in I felt like I was dipping my hand into a container of meatballs and spegetti sause.  Like I was dippping my hand into a vat of marbles covered in pudding.  As if when I stuck my hand in the marbles they were rubbing my hand on all sides.  It was all cold like it was ice in water.  And all the while I wanted to eat the j@#$%.

Sound Is Art

The sound of the magnetic flux disturbance around a video game console interested me and confused me at the same time.  

            It interested me because of all the different sounds that were captured.  At some points it sounded like I was sitting and listening to an electric motor turn. When I closed my eyes, it was as if the low, vibrating hum of one of my hobby motors repeated a consistent rhythm in my head.  At other points it sounded as if I was listening to the first sound of a water droplet hitting water over and over again with a soft snap.  It was like listening to humming birds wings.  Listening to them flap up and down.  The birds’ wings push the air, hitting as they reach the bottom of its movement.  The track brought to mind sitting and blowing into a fan as it turns.  If you have ever done this you would know that the air from your lungs blowing against the air of the fan creates a chopping sound as they collide.  As the sound recording progressed, it was as if you were holding a piece of paper in the way of a fan blade.  It hits and deflects the paper with a violent slap.  Overall my favorite part is the light hum in the background from the drive motor turning and creating an atmosphere of confusion.

            What I was left with was a lot of overlapping and intersecting sounds and an overriding question which arose from my confusion.  How in the world did he record this sound?

Mexican White Boy Part 3

     One time when I felt like I didn't fit in was at a class I took this summer.  The reason I felt like I didn't fit in was because I was the only one who was going to go in to 9th grade. Everyone else was ether going to be in 10th, 11th or 12th grade.  I also felt like I didn't fit in because I was so used to being the tallest in my class and now I was the shortest out of everyone except for one or two other students.

Mexican White Boy Part 2

     I think Uno regrets hitting Danny because he realizes that since Danny is better than him at baseball and that at any time Danny could take his spot in any game. Also if the baseball scout liked Danny better then he could have suggested that Uno was also a good player. But now since he hit him he might be mad and probably won't. Even if Uno really thought this I think he would never admit it in case Danny hadn't thought of using it as leverage. 

     I think that Danny has no trouble playing in front of the National City kids because he knows he isn't saying their long. And if they even do make fun of him the next time he goes their they will probably have forgotten what happened. 

Mexican White Boy Part 1

       In the first section of Mexican White Boy, Uno got angry because as Danny tried to hit the ball the bat slipped out of his hands and flew and hit Manuel in the face.  Although it appears that Uno was mad at Danny I really believe that he was mad at himself for becoming jealous and throwing the ball so far inside.  He was felt so bad that he had caused this to Manuel he didn't want to think he did it.  So in order to feel less angry at himself  he projected his anger on Danny.

Who Am I?

     I am a fourteen year old boy who attends High Tech High Media Arts. I think the school is fun and that there are a lot of great people here. All the teachers and staff are very kind and helpful. I think I try to be like my older brother because I look up to him. I think look up to him so much because he is very smart. I wanted to come to this school because I love electronics and this school has an X-Block called Robotics. And that’s me.
