Journal-Tell me about your weekend.
Well, this weekend I went to the magical place of St. Louis, MO with the band for BOA! We performed in the Edward Jones Stadium on Friday night in prelims and did fairly well. The bus ride there was a fantastic time, and we stopped at the Columbia Mall on the way. After we performed, we had a pizza party at the hotel and on dance team we found out that our couch, Katie, is having a girl in March! Also, I was thrown into the hotel pool in all of my clothes so that was quite a blast. On Saturday, we went to the magical land of Demolition Ball and Adrenaline Zone and had the whole afternoon to play games. We then went and watched awards at the dome and went to the St. Louis arch to eat dinner. We then went back and watched finals and got home at 4am on Sunday. Also, WE DID SUPER DUPER AWESOME AND PALCED 22ND OUT OF 64 AND 7TH IN OUR DIVISION, AND ALSO GOT A "I" RATING SO THAT WAS COOL.

Journal - What makes a presentation memorable? What makes a presentation stand out and not boring? How are you going to make your presentation better than anyone else? How will you make it unique? Explain.
There are many things that can make a presentation memorable. When people project their voice rather than talking in a monotone voice helps to keep attention. Also, having eye contact with the audience and not reading directly off of a screen makes for a good presentation. Being lively and having good visuals helps to grab peoples attention better. Also, it can make it more memorable when the audience has opportunities to get involved. I'm going to make my presentation unique from others by not reading directly off of a screen and making the visuals lively and exciting. Putting in dramatic facts that catches people attention also is something that I think would be good to include.

I havn't watched Ted Talk yet as I wasn't here Monday but it does sound like it was very interesting in the side it took of technology and how it has effected our lives.

Journal - What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.
The "digital age" that we live in, I think, makes life easier. I like that you're able to connect with just about anyone you would like and that you can look up almost anything you want or need at your fingertips. This is especially handy in school. It can also be negative because at times people can get fairly lazy. I use technology in a positive way to keep in touch with people all over the country and world. I also use it for news and keeping up to date with current events. What I don't like about how technology has come along is that if you don't have the most up-to-date device, people judge you. and that's not so cool.

Journal - Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
I didn't end up going to homecoming this weekend but I did have quite a fun weekend. On Friday, I had to homecoming game, but because of lightning our band director didn't have the band or dance team perform at half time, so I didn't end up doing a whole ton at the game. On Saturday, I had the Blue Springs Marching Festival and had to make up nice and early. We did really well there and got second in 5a, best drum major, best percussion, best music, and best colorguard. We didn't stay for finals though because of homecoming. On Saturday night, I hung out with one of my bestest friends, Jackson. He was home from college for fall break so that was fairly exciting. On Sunday, I went to the Big Biscuit with a few friends and ate plenty of delicious food. And then I had the exciting opportunity of spending the rest of my day working on a very long research paper. Quite a weekend.

What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
Well, I know nothing about inforgraphics. Therefore I do not know their purpose. But if I could guess, I think that they have something to do with showing information through graphs and other visualizations of sorts.
