I think public has gone crazy over this phone. I think mass-hysteria or the mass-marketing must be driving the frenzy for such an expensive under-equipped device. People seem to be paying a small fortune who are either techo-unsaavy, or light internet users or are blinding buying this phone based on the hype. The device is sharp, cool, and flashy and has the potential to be a great device.

What is your favorite day of the week

My most favorite day of the week is definitely Thursday. Thursday because during the school week Monday goes by slow, Tuesday is a drag, Wednesday becomes even more boring and dreadful. Once Thursday comes along it becomes an exciting day because the next day is Friday and then the weekend! Thats why Thursday is my most favorite day of the week.

The Road Less Traveled

It is very important to be passionate about your job. This is the job that you could possibly be doing most your life. Talking to a school counsellor, he said that he met very many adults that went through for example medical school, but had a passion for art from the start. All those years at medical school were wasted when they could have been doing something that was more passionate to them. This shows how many people really want to be something that they are not then go back to the thing that was more passionate to them and felt right to them.

One day I can see myself being a dentist and having my own practice. I would love to help people out there have a nice smile and be more confident with themselves. To get there I would have to go to school for about 3 years before applying to dentistry school. But who knows, maybe in those three years I will become interested in something else. Never know!

What would be going on inside the head of a young executive nervously biting on her nails?

This morning I have a meeting with my boss and my co-workers. I'm so nervous because one of us would be getting the job promotion. I was so nervous that I couldn't even eat breakfast. Also, i tried my best to look like a professional women that you would see on 'The Apprentice'. I asked my dog Snooki if I looked good before I exited the door and I think he approved. Now sitting here while my boss is talking about our sales and what not, it's so hard to pay attention while all that is on my mind is what I would gain if i got this promotion. Maybe I could purchase the car of my dreams, or even move out into a nicer apartment. While looking at all my co-workers, it seems to me that my boss really likes Ken and myself, so maybe now of us would get the promotion. Now, finally he's wrapping up with the talking, this is it, I can't help but to bite on my nails. The nervousness is really getting to me, it feels like i could pass out any second. Oh dear, the boss picks Ken, what a shameful morning. I think the boss saw how nervous I was and could not handle the tasks with the promotional job. Back to Snooki and my old apartment for me now..

My Sister's Keeper Journal Entry #1

"In my first memory, I am three years old and I am trying to kill my sister. Sometimes the recollection is so clear I can remember the itch of the pillowcase under my hand, the sharp point of her nose pressing into my palm. She didn't stand a chance against me, of coarse, but it still didn't work. My father walked by, tucking in the house for the night, and saved her. He led me back to my own bed. "That," he told me, "never happened."

As we got older, I didn't seem to exist, except in relation to her. I would watch her sleep across the room from me, one long shadow linking our beds, and I would count the ways. Poison, sprinkled on her cereal. A wicked undertow off the beach. Lightening striking.

In the end though, I did not kill my sister. She did it all on her own.

Or at least this is what i tell myself." (page,3)

"The first time i gave something to my sister, it was cord blood, and I was a newborn. She has leukemia -APL- and my cells put into her remission. The next time she relapsed, I was five and I had lymphocytes drawn from me, three times over, because the doctors never seemed to get enough of them the first time around. When that stopped working, they took bone marrow for a transplant. When Kate got infections, I had to donate granulocytes. When she relapsed again, I had to donate peripheral blood stem cells." (page,21)

They don't really pay attention to me, except when they need my blood or something. I wouldn't be alive, if it wasn't for Kate being sick.

The Perils Of Indifference

1) The Perils Of Indifference - The Danger of being despicable

2) The ending of "The Lottery" was very shocking and unexpecting to read. In the world we live in now its kind of hard to believe that this story was true because they were killing people for no reason. But stuff like this happens in different parts of the world, that's why we're not used to reading material like this. For example during the Rwandan Genocide the Hutu's and the Tootsie's were killing there own people as well and they did not stop. In this short story it showed how they held a "lottery" once a year and one person had to die.

3) Eli Wiesel's speech is very true and relates to "The Lottery" in many ways. Wiesel's speech shows the truth of how the world really is and how much care there is for things and people.
