The article "Saints seal trip to super bowl after Favre throws late interception", is about the game last night. The deciding decision of the Vikings or Saints going to the super bowl was officially declared last night. The game went on over time to decide which team would get the winning touchdown. Favre through an interception and the Saints got a hold of the football to get the touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. When the game had went into over time the referee flipped a coin and the Saints got the football first. Now that the Saints had won the deciding game of going to the super bowl, the Colts are going against the Saints, in the super bowl.

I chose this particular article because i know a lot about it, I had watched the game last night, and i love football. This game was so interesting to me, because i wanted to see who was going to go against the Colts in the super bowl, and although i had wanted the Cowboys to make it the super bowl, still want to watch the super bowl, and i did this article because i wanted to do a blog on something that i know a lot about.

I believe this article would be interesting to others because it is something really big that only goes on once a year. Everyone loves to watch the super bowl, so an article about the super bowl would be interesting to those specific individuals. The certain people who are into the whole super bowl, would be interested in this article.

What others should know or learn after this article is that The Saints are going against The Colts in the super bowl. That the two teams who are going to the super bowl to play against one another, there will be a winner in the National Super Bowl. It is important to know that because if nobody knows who will be going to super bowl, then who will know what is going on? The two teams in the super bowl is The Colts and The Saints. The article is about the recap from the last night game and how Brett Favre threw away the game.

"I love having memories to hold onto and be able to remember the things i had done before." I have so many memories that i love to be able to talk about or write about with people so that they can know what i love to do, or what i have done. Everyone has a favorite memory but in my case i actually have 3. Three of my favorite memories are the ones that i remember the most, and i love reminisce with them. Walt Disney World, Miami, and My 14th Birthday. These memories I am very fond of. Memories last a lifetime and these memories will stick with me forever.

Carriage rides, Disney characters and rides! This happens to be my favorite memory because its one that i can visit all the time. Its Walt Disney World. Disney World is a very magical place. I love to go and visit all of the characters and be able to have a picture with them, I'm secretly still a kid at heart. The carriage rides are a blast because they give you a chance to tour the theme park, on the ground! I'm terrified of heights, so this little tour of the park is a great thing for me personally, instead of the monorail. And don't even get me started on the rides! Although, i am terrified of rides and heights, but i still like certain rides. Rides such as Splash Mountain, and Space Mountain, those rides are my absolute favorite and i love Disney just because of the fact that it has many things to do, and because i always leave with one great memory.

Don't forget the palm trees. Miami is my hometown and i love to visit it and be able to visit my family that still lives there, ones that i had to leave behind. Miami is a great place, and many people have stereotypes about it, but me, i know the truth and how great it really is. Miami was the best place to live, but then i had to move so that my parents could take care of my dying grandmother. In Miami, i left some great memories behind. I always used to love going to the Miami Central beach and tan out with my cousin, Katie. We would always make a beach day, a fun one. We would go out for ice cream down at the Cold stones, right up the road from "our beach." We would always have a blast coming home from the beach, wrapped in our towels, with the windows down and the music blaring. Although, i had to move away, i still have those memories, and i visit her and my other relatives every time i get a chance to.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Caitlin, Happy Birthday to you." My 14th birthday is a birthday that i will never forget. it was one of the most down right horrible birthdays ever, at first. I had to go to school that day, a Friday, March 20th. I was so looking forward to coming home, getting all dressed up and going to Kobe's, my most favorite restaurant ever. But then when i had gotten home, i got horrible news, we couldn't go. My mommy was terribly sick and my brother had broken the front window. From then on out, i could tell this was not going to end well for me. We had to stay home, and i was upset but i completely understood. My daddy had to fix the window, and meanwhile my mommy was throwing up. We wound up ordering pizza from Scorpios and that was my big birthday dinner, although i could tell it was to end well, it actually did. We had made a fun day out of it, and to this day, we still reminisce and laugh about it.

Memories are a very fond thing that people can hold onto, its that one thing that people can always visit, as many times as they please. Memories are one thing that i love to visit when I'm sad, that can cheer me up when I'm just having one of those days. I have more than 3 memories. but these 3 that i have chosen to write about, are ones that i still love to laugh about, and reminisce about. Walt Disney World, Miami, and My 14th Birthday. These are the memories that i not only visit myself, but i always still to this day, talk about it with my other loved ones. Memories are the one thing that i can always go back on.

This past week has been really hard. Every class period has been giving us a mid term and it is very difficult. Monday was 1st and 2nd mid term, Tuesday was 3rd and 4th and, today, Wednesday is 5th period, Thursday is 6th and 7th. These stupid mid terms has been stressing me out because every teacher thinks that they are the only teacher in the school who is giving these gay, pointless mid terms. Every teacher says that their exam is easy and that we should find time to study for their exam but first of all, people do have lives and these stupid mid terms are ruining it! I have to deal with athletic training to, which causes me to have to stay after school for long periods of time giving community service and i have absolutely no time to sit down and study these lame review sheets that supposedly are going to help us out on the mid term. And that was a complete lie because, they did not. Most of my teachers mid terms, the crap that was on there, had nothing to do with what was on the long mid term. These mid terms are really stressing me out. Its really pissing me off too because these teachers really think that the world revolves around their teaching and honestly it does not. These mid terms are gay and pointless, what is the point in them? All they do is stress out the students and make their grade go down. Then that makes the students stress even more because then they have to worry about trying to bring it back up to the location of where they want it. Mrs. Kings mid term was probably one of the hardest tests i have ever taken in my life. All the questions that were on the test were not on the 59 question review sheet that she had given us to study. Then Mrs. Schaffer did not have a mid term because presenting our projects was our mid term. And she makes us do a lot and always says that it is not a lot but she knows that is, she just likes to make us mad. Then Mr. Alves mid term was the second hardest because i did not have time to study because of training and i had got a 73, but i still have a 93 in the class. Then Spanish was the easiest because it was only food vocabulary and we had just learned it so it was fresh in my mind. Then I'm dreading 5th period algebra because i do not do good in math at all. I'm not good in it and its really hard for me. So thank you teachers for making us do these stupid mid terms!

The article, "Under Surveillance", is about how many employees of companies try to trick their bosses into not taking a long lunch break. The companies start to use a tracking device where you have to thumb print everytime you leave or enter the spot you are suppose to be in. The companies are chewing out all the workers who have tryed to trick them in the past. The article is mostly about how the thumb printing helps out knowing when the employees are there and what they are doing. What is good about the practice is that it helps the managers and bosses figure out what employers are trying to trick them and figure out how long they take for a lunch break and what they happen to be doing that they should not be. It's good because the thumb printing is an actual device to show when they actually show up, so that the employee cannot trick the boss. What is bad about the practice is that the employee has to be actual because now they cannot take a longer lunch break and say that they were back when they actually were not. The bad thing is also the fact that the person will not be cooropitive with the new technology and will rebel. The bad thing about it is that the employee does not know that they are getting caught and that makes them angry. If this was being done to me, I probably would not mind because it shows your loyalty and that you actually do take your job seriously. If you do not complain about it, it will show your boss that you are the best employee compared to the person who complains about it. If i were in charge, i would do the same thing. It shows and proves who is actually being loyal and who is taking the job seriously. If i were it would give me satisfaction of knowing that the employees are there when asked to be. In my opinion i think that the thumb tracking device is a good idea because it helps not only the company out but also the boss. In conclusion, the whole article is about how employees are not being honest about the time they go and come for lunch, so the boss makes the thumb in and out.

The school year is almost half way over, and still there are many things that have to get finished and completed. I have to catch up with my grades, because i need to get back with my straight A's. Before i can celebrate the school year being over, i have to make sure all my school work is done, and just for extra points, see if there is any extra credit i can possibly get, to top off my grades. All my Academy classes are important and i have to make sure that the grades i have now in the present can possibly get better in the near future. I also have athletic training to worry about. I have make sure that i can cover all the games that i am scheduled for. Each person gets assigned to 3 games a week, and possibly more if no one can work it. You have to worry about not only getting all your unfinished classwork, homework, and projects done with also having to worry about covering the games. The games usually go on until 9 or 10 which leaves me no time to rest or get anything done. I have to get back on getting used to the schedule and finishing my classwork in an acceptable period of time. The rest of the school year has a lot coming for me, but all i have to do is stay focused and i should be able to make it through.
