PLANS
FOR NEXT YEAR!
I will be attending Virginia Tech next
fall, entering into University Studies.
SUMMER!!!
This
summer I will be starting it out with a bang, down at
Corolla, N.C., where my friends and I will be spending a week. I will
then come back to good old work. I will be working at the YMCA where I
will be a camp counselor for an Adventure Camp. During the last week of
July, I will be heading up to New York with my family, for our last trip
together before I go away to school. It will be a short summer, but I'm
sure it will be full of fun in the sun!
MY
FAVORITE WEB SITES!!!
~ I often find myself spending way too much money at J-Crews
web site. What can I say, I love to shop, whether it's online or at the
store.
~I also have become addicted to web games. When they named the web site
Addictinggames.com,
they weren't lying.
~Weather is an important factor in
my life, as it is summer time, I always want to know what it is going to
be like out. The weather channel provides with a great website,where I
can see what the weather here, and the weather in Hawaii (where I wish
I was) is like.

2004
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Democratic
Candidates:
POLITICAL
HUMOR (get ready to laugh!!)
Political
humor is a common way many people get their views across about politcal
leaders.Politcal humor is a way to poke fun at our political leaders. Due
to our fundamental right of speech, political humor is found in magazines
and newspapers all over, critisizing our very own political leaders and
their actions.
The political cartoon shown on the link is making fun of President Bush. It has him holding comic books, saying that he has studies them so hard, adn he is now ready to take on the world. This portrays many people's lack of confidence in the President's ability to handle foreign affairs, or take on the responsibilities of the President.
FRANCE'S
GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS!

The current President of France is Jacque Chirac.They also have a parlimentary
