BOF!

Theres a new korean drama that's been really good so far. The actors are GORGEOUS! and they can act. My favorites are the two male lead. This drama is based on the manga " Boys Over Flower". They made this into a drama two other times. Once in Taiwan and once in Japan. Both of these were a hit. Now that it has hit Korea, it's also been a hit. This drama is about four rich guys coming from rich families. The leader of the group (F4) is played by Lee Minho. He is the guy that everyone listens to and noone dares to disobey. One day a girl from a poor family goes to their school to deliver some laundry and ends up saving a guy from that school. She got a scholarship to attend it and she ended up meeting the leader. At first, they hated each other and all they did was fight, but later on, they ended up together. Overall, this is a really good drama and I recommend this to EVERYONE who wants to watch something good. =]

EXTRA CREDIT!!

sitting here in the library during 5th period finals because im a ta and i dont have a final. just wanted to blog one more before you do grades. overall today was an easy day because for my second period finals we just had to listen to people present their projects and this period i also dont have anything to do. i'm currently with peggy jew and danice delos santos. we are all tas this period and we don't have anything to do so we're just sitting here. i am planning not to come this friday because finals are over and i doubt we'll learn anything new that day since teachers have to grade finals. i'm really tired and exhausted. FIVE DAY WEEKEND COMING UP!!! YAY!!

SCHOOL!

School has been really freaking stressful because first semester is coming to an end and we have finals up. I want to do good this semester so that colleges see that I'm not being lazy right before I graduate... I just can't wait till this year is over. Overall, senior year isn't as easy as some people think it is. If you want to get into a good college, you have to keep up with your grades or you'll just get yourself effed over and might get rejected to some of the colleges that previously said you got in because you didn't do good your last year... DON'T GET LAZY IN YOUR SENIOR YEAR... YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!!

WINTERBREAK!

Over winterbreak, I didn't do much. I spent most of my time with my family going here and there, but nothing special. I attened Ms. Hansen's memorial at school the first monday for winterbreak. It was really sad and i saw many peolpe there. People from different classes attended and it was nice seeing them come back to see their teacher after a long time. It showed that Ms. Hansen was a great teacher and everyone respected her. Other than attending the memorial, nothing special went on through my winterbreak, but it was a nice and relaxing time. I GOT HELLA SLEEP!

MY OPINION!!

1) Why are we publishing the Burtonian on the web rather than in print?
We are publishing the Burtonian on the web rather that in print because we figured it would be easier to use and we can publish more stories without having to wait for the paper to be printed out. We can upload new stuff as the new news come to us and people can access it easier since it’s the Web 2.0 generation.
2) What power does writing (especially for a school paper) give you?
The power that writing gives me is the power to speak my mind and let it is heard to people around my school and community. It also allows me to inform my community on what’s been going on and what new things they need to know about and be aware about.
3) What issue(s) are you most concerned with and that you want to do something about?
The issue that I’m most concerned about is the one we are having with the economy. I’m concerned about our economy because we are the ones that will have to live through this crap we’re in and we’re most likely going to have to fix it. The other issue that I’m concerned about is the Prop 8. I want people to accept gay marriage and let them know that there’s nothing wrong with it.

TWILIGHT!

over the weekend, i went with my friends to go watch twilight AGAIN. i watched it the week after it premiered, but since my friends didnt watch it yet, i decided to go again since i liked the movie so much when i first watched it. during the whole movie, i was really happy and giggly because some of the lines that they used in the movie was really cute and adorable making me go AWWW... edward was the main guy character and he was reallly adorable throughout the movie because he was really sweat to the main girl character (bella). it was overall a really cute romantic teenage movie and i would recommend it to everyone who wants to see a cute romantic movie..

WEB 2.0!

The way web 2.0 has changed my life is by letting me communicate to my friends and family without having to call them and speaking. I can just contact them through AIM. I dont have a facebook or myspace but that can help people by just letting people know what you've been up to without actually having to tell them. The way it can continue to change our lives is by having messages online and ads to inform us what's going on without reading the newspaper and watching tv to find out. Everything you need is basically on the internest now and it can save us time by allowing us to check up whats going on anytime we're available. The impact on the news media is that everyone is starting to use the internet to do commercials and ads because they know more and more people are on the internet instead of watching tv and reading. Obama used Web 2.0 because he knows most of the younger generation gets their information from the internet so he was smart to use it because it did get out to the younger generation and I believe it did help him out a lot with the campaign. He was also smart enough to get a lot of the celebrities to help him with the campaign because younger people now a days listen to celebrities more and they helped him mad a ad or commercial and it was posted on youtube so everyone can see it. Sooner or later, most of the media we see now will be accessed on the internet and noone will really need the tv or magazines. Overall, Web 2.0 has helped everyone a lot and it's going to keep helping everyone in the future.
