Paranoia is running rampant

Are you sick? Feeling under the weather? Are you wondering if or when you will be sick? Or perhaps your symptoms are simply phantom. You aren't sick and probably won't be...but what about that runny nose and scratchy throat. Are you really sick? I think that this H1N1 thing is getting out of hand. It is true, there is a large influx of flu very early this season and apparently Lenawee County is getting hit...but why the big scare? Are you contributing to this scare?

Now after saying all of that, I will probably be the next sick one. I can't live every day wondering if I am getting sick. I do recommend washing your hands, not sharing anything with a friend, and getting rest. But please don't panic. If you do get sick, stay home until your fever (which by the way is the biggest indicator that you have a bad flu) has broken. Rest, drink fluids, and come back to school when you are healthy. Did you know that you are contagious before you even have the symptoms? Just like the chicken pox (which all of you probably had a shot for!!) Be considerate of others and keep your sickness to yourself. Being sick isn't any fun, but we will get through this winter!! So...in response to this, give me your thoughts about N1H1, the newly mutated Swine Flu.

In your blog this week, write about anything that you want. I would like you to also respond to at least two other blogs from this class (not counting mine). People love to have comments, so comment away! Have a great time blogging. Keep smiling :-) and be make healthy choices this winter.

Fall has arrived!

Driving home from school this time of the year can be very beautiful. I really love to drive down my street and look at the changing colors of the trees. My street (in Adrian) is lined with big trees. They are very beautiful!! I love fall for the temperature, but not for the raging allergies that happen. I also love the colors, but not the rain so much. What do you like/dislike about fall. What is your favorite thing to do this time of the year. I like to go for a drive on a sunny day or take my dog for a walk. In your answer to my blog -- tell me about fall!

In your blog this week I would like you to list 5 things that happened in history on this date (October 15). List the item and the URL that you found the information about that event. You can look up anything...sports, music, historical events, war events, entertainment in general, people, etc. Be sure to list the item and the URL. Then tell me why you choose to search for those events...you love music, you are a pet lover, you are a history buff... Can't use those responses, but tell my why you searched for those 5 events in history. Happy blogging.

Let's Begin

So, we begin the blogging process. I am wondering how you feel about this blog stuff. You guys love to text, but actually sitting down and writing something probably isn't what you had in mind. Well, that doesn't matter! You have to blog. First, you will make a comment on my blog. In that comment please tell me your feelings about this blog thing. Do you think it will be fun? boring? hard to do? crazy? whatever comes to mind. Because this is associated with a school, please use proper capital letters and good grammar.

Secondly, you will be writing your own blog. Most times I will tell you what to write on our blog days. PLEASE feel free to blog at any time. Have your friends and family check us out. The whole reason to blog is for someone else to read it (not just me). You may blog about anything you want this week, but I would like you to include a paragraph giving three (3) goals you have this senior year of school. Tell why you have each goal. Remember to use good grammar and appropriate capital letters.

Have fun blogging!!
