Driving us to Distraction by Gilbert Cruz

For this blog, I chose to write about the short essay called Driving Us to Distraction. This short essay talks about texting while driving and how it causes us to be less focused on the road. Now he didn't just mention texting, he also talked about making calls and even hands-free technology! I, myself, must admit that I do text and drive, but I do it on rare occasions. Talking on the cell-phone is okay by me as long as you are capable of multitasking! Towards the end of his essay, he mentioned that Clarence Ditlow, CAS's executive director, said, "We're asking that technology be installed in cars to disable their cell phones whenever you shift out of park." I do NOT believe that this should be a law because that's cutting into our "Freedom". We pay for that cell phone, and if there was an emergency but you were driving, then no one would be able to get a hold of you or you would be unable to get a hold of anybody.

Spring Break!

Well this spring back was not an exciting one at all... I didn't go anywhere fun or see anything cool. I was the girl who stayed home and worked all week! My week just flew by and before I knew it, it was Sunday already! Since much wasn't exciting to tell for this spring break, I will tell you about last year when I went to Hawaii with my best friend and her dad! We stayed there for a week, and saw many things! The worst part about the trip was the dreaded plane ride. I never knew a person could be so bored, that taking pictures of random things, like clouds, could be so fun and interesting! Haha! Throughout our trip we climbed a volcano, went shopping, laid on the beach, and went para-sailing. I loved every minute of it and boy was it hard to come back to chilly Minnesota.

Write about whatever you wish...

This week blogs we get to write about what ever we wish! I chose to write about how I am SUCH a procrastinator and how I've been working on changing that for almost 4 years! I've always been a procrastinator, but I haven't noticed it this much since this year! I'm a post secondary student at Mayo High School and this is my last semester until I graduate! I'm so stoked... but I'm worried my procrastination and my life situation will hold me back. Procrastination is a big thing that I would LOVE to change about myself, but it's hard. I've got myself in a very sticky situation because, well if you'd like to know, I have to pass all my classes this semester to be able to get my diploma...
