Senior Blog

Hey it's me.

Recently I noticed that the senior blog was still in my bookmarks bar so I decided to click on it and check out the new changes. My (semi-)surprise was that there were no new changes, no new posts, comments, or polls. Actually, the last post since this one was posted on May 10, which was almost a month ago.
I'm writing this post to ask what the class thinks of the senior blog, and what future (if it has one) is in store. First, it'd be nice to know who actually checks the blog, maybe you could let me and the other members of the class know by commenting under this post.
I also wanted to know your opinions on if we should continue this blog to keep in touch after we graduate from Mirman. Maybe we could start a new blog similar to this. I think a blog would be the best way to keep in touch. I think it'd be cool to keep in touch, even if infrequently. I don't know about you guys, but my experience with this class as a whole has been special, so it'd be nice to not lose it all after Friday.
Just wanted to know your take on things.
JS.

SENIOR LUNCH

okay everyone. so as to not go through what we did on friday...i think we should decide on a lunch by tuesday (one that everyone will like...) so one of our parents can get the lunch...and the money if they so please. so that we can actually have a second senior lunch in our senior year at mirman we should definitely have it this coming friday... so, everyone type what they want to eat in the comments of this post and we can go on from there! go 100% class participation!!! :-P p.s. i would personally like to have baja fresh.

The KD Show

Hey, what's up?

I hope everyone is having an amazing spring break. I know my spring break seems to be going a lot quicker than I had hoped. Anyway, during the break, my 5 year old cousins came over to my house and they wanted to make a movie and now its on youtube. So, here it is:

I want to wish all of the latin people good luck at JCL this weekend and I also can't wait for the thespian festival! Have a great last week of spring break!

Kayla

Wow.

hey guys check this out. i did a little stumbling.

ellie, you should work for these people!

Earth Day

OK. FIrst of all, happy holidays and spring break. I hope you're all doing fine wherever you are. Also, good luck with Thespian and JCL, since I won't be seeing any of you at either. Too bad I can't go (for me at least, since I had wanted to go). However, my own spring break won't be miserable: I have a couple cello competitions on Saturday, but then on that same day I fly to England. And aside from the competitions and the flight to England, Saturday happens to be my birthday (it sucks to do competitions on your birthday)... and Earth Day!

Which brings me to what I'm gonna say about Earth Day. I just found out a few days ago that during this year's Earth Day (Saturday March 29/my birthday) there's going to be an Earth Hour (8pm), where major cities from around the world will stop using electricity, gas, etc.
The idea is that that whole city will turn black, and that even if it will only turn black for an hour, that hour will be symbolic in the change we humans (that's us, in case you didn't know) will need to fight global warming. So basically, these cities are going to 'switch off' for an hour.
Which cities? I don't know all of them, but some cities are definitely Brisbane, Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, and Toronto.
Anyway, I thought it was a totally awesome idea, and I hope someone takes a photo from outerspace or whatever so I can see the 'blackout' in those cities. Maybe I'll see the 'blackout' on my plane trip to England.
Excuse my childish enthusiasm, but if Earth Hour works, I think it'll be pretty darn exciting (I don't need to be witty or cynical when if comes to the well being of our planet).
So since I thought it was cool, I decided to post this up on the blog for you all to see, whether you knew about this or not.

Have a great spring break, once again.

Shakespeare Quotes

Hey Evan it is Davis.

If the quotation is fewer than four lines,
1. Use quotation marks around it
2. Cite the act, scene and line number(s) in parentheses as below
3. Use a slash (/) to separate line.

Example:
"rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,/Profaners of this neighbor-stained-steel--" (I,i,81-2).

When citing the quote remember the Act is big roman numeral, the scene a small one and the lines written as 20-4 for instance.

If the quotation is four or more line:
1. Indent the entire quote
2. Single space or double space it
3. Do not put quotation marks around it
4. Double space both before and after the quote
5. Do not use slases
6. Cite the act, scene and line numbers in parentheses, after the end punctuation.

I hope this helps
Davis

Quote for yearbook

Hey everyone! This is Ellie. This post is only directed at Davis (sorry, but this is the smartest way to reach people for yearbook I guess, cause we're always using the blog). I need to know if "When you look at Reggie, what do you see?" can be used for your quote cause we need one more. Let me know ASAP (by commenting or something). If you don't like it, make up your own by tonight and put it as a comment or else the yearbook people will just come up with one for you.

Thanks
Peace and love,
ellie
