Career Day

I'm in the computer lab at school right now, because Evan needs to retake part of the Computer Tech Test-Out (That I already passed. I was the first one! Yays!) And I wanted to come work on my Final Cut that I never got to work in Bradfield's Lab, but for some reason they are now taking the test in the computer lab. (We have five labs- the Tech Lab (Bradfield's) The Shop Lab (Cuavas') The Computer Lab, The Writing Lab, and the Library Lab.) So I'm in here doing this. Maybe I'll read my APHG book. After this.

So what's happened lately? Well, Friday was Career Day. It started with a thing in the auditorium, where we had Roger Malaga come and talk to us about his career. He is a dancer and actor, and he was the coreographer for High School Musical. He had a dance off, with some of the best dancers in the 9th grade- McKayla Whitehead, Maya Arzola, Marissa McQuinn, Diego... something, and Jacob Virgin. He did it to show us sorta what Auditions were like. And the winner was... JACOB! Yeah! You can see him dancing in this low quality video from last year's Talent Show.



After that we spereated and went to different classes. My first one was Computers, and that wasn't really that interesting. Then was Engineering, which was cool because he showed us a bunch of things that he worked with, like special metals and plastics and such. Then was Military, and a woman from the Air Force came and talked to us. She was a recruiter, so obviously she showed us all the advantages of joining the Air Force. It was pretty interesting.

SBO

Well, this year I decided I was going to run for Student Body Officer (SBO). I wanted to do this because the current SBOs are really boring. They come on each morning for the announcements and sound like they're still asleep, they never seem to be very enthusiastic, they're just there. So I wanted to make things more exciting. I ran a campaign based on Excitement, Fun, and Student Involvement (And Chuck Norris Jokes- Big Thank you to Matt!) and tried my hardest. Speeches day I wasn't nervous at all, but when I got up on the stand I started Shaking. I always seem to do that- I'm not nervous at all, but I shake like crazy anyway. Apparently I sounded nervous and kept bumping the microphone. In the end I lost, the old SBOs were voted back in along with two other girls (since 9th grade gets 4 while the others get 2). I'm actually surprised that only girls won, since alot of people said that they were glad 2 boys were finally running. (Only Girls have ran the past two years.) Mrs. Bradfield said that this is the closest race she's seen in 8 years. All in all, it was fun. Maybe I can still give suggestions to Paige, Lexi, Lisa and Marissa. (Like Wake up in the mornings!)
