Outside reading:

I sort of went out of order, I am supposed to find an article about hope. Again I am too lazy to find one so here goes nothing. I am hoping that Mr. Cheng will rethink how the blogs should be done. I am hoping he will say we can read whatever we want and not have a specific topic to blog about. I am hoping that Mr. Cheng will read this and be like, "Oh, I understand now. Class, you all can blog and read about what ever you want!" That would be so cool. I am really hoping.

Outside reading:

Change, I am supposed to write about change. Well I do not feel like finding an article. So I am going to write about my opinion on the change of the way the blogs are assigned now. I personally prefer the old way were we can blog about what ever we want. This new way you have us do yeah that defeats the purpose of outside reading in my opinion. Outside reading is for what ever we dang well want to read.

Outside reading:

I was reading a story off a random site about a Breast Cancer survivor. 1 month after her father died she she was diagnosed with stage 2 of breast cancer. She is an assistant volleyball and head softball coach at Rowland Hall St. Marks. So when the kids found out what had happened to her they all wore pink ribbons with her name on them. She only missed 13 days of school. But after all the stuff she had to do for it, she lost her hair. Although that was more towards her advantage because they then found a tumor which still sucks majorly. Well now she is 4.5 years out of cancer. So it was tough but with the help of her friends and family she got through it.

I read an article from Fox News, although it is kinda old (May of '08) but it is about a cyclone with winds as high as 120 mph. Because of this storm a lot of things are flooded including rice fields.

I read an interesting article on Kare11 about a man driving his truck into a Planned Parenthood building and ramed it again two more times. Then got out of his vehicle and waved around a cross and yelled out bible versus. The man said that Jesus told him to do it. Thankfully no one was hurt.
I think this is pretty crazy, and would be scary to be in there when that happened.

Outside reading:

Another story I read on Kare11 (yes another from Kare11, I love Kare11) was about how the health officials want the parents to get their kids checked to make sure they do not have HiB (Haemophilus influenza type B). A lot of kids are getting this illness. There is also a shortage in the vaccination so doctors are skipping the fourth shot so that there will still be some for more people. This is a big problem in Minnesota because we generally only have one or two cases a year.
I think this would be kind of scary if it was super darn diddly dooper big and spreading fast. Well it's still kind of scary, because I might have it and not even know it. I could die!

Outside reading:

On Kare11 there was a story of people getting injured on a flight to Honolulu. A total of nine people where injured with hip, head and neck injuries. These injuries were caused by severe turbulence. They are in stable but serious condition. There was a total of 285 passengers on the flight.
This would be very scary to have happen, because if I were on that plane I would be freaking out thinking that we are going to crash, and then there would be panic everywhere. Although the story did not say anything about panic, so I guess people were very mature about it all. I would not like to be on plane if something like this were to happen, but who does? :)
