Obama heads jubilant parade to White House, first black president to take the oath of office

Wow today was amazing, I didn't get to see the swearing in because of an accident made by a student in my world class by exiting out of the video, but I did get to see the speech made by our new PRESIDENT!!! I felt that his speech was so moving and he really made a connection to everyone in the audience. Also I thought that it was so amazing that only 40 years ago, a person ran for president with segregation as his platform, and now we have the FIRST African American President. I think that it is so amazing that our country has come full circle in the past years. I cant wait to see what will happen next with the new President!

Intense cold blast chills Midwest

Today after school I read an article from the Usa today. It was about the artic colds covering the midwest. Here in MInneapolis I am feeling the cold. today driving to school the temp in the car was -20, I couldn't believe that the weather had gooten to be so cold. I thought today of all days we should have had a snow day because the weather was terrible, there was at least 2 inches of snow on the ground it felt like -50 with the wind. I felt so bad for all thoes children who were waiting for the bus. I hope that if it is anything like this or worse tomorow we should have a snow day. We deserve it!

Another cruise ship jumper rescued at sea

It happened again, why are people jumping off cruise ships. When I think of a cruise I think a nice relaxing vacation, not a place of death. Luckily this time the man was rescued. The person who jumped off the ship was a 22 year old man. He was rescued by a member of the ships staff who saw him jump. The man was rescued by having the mamber off the staff sound the alarm, making the ship turn around to bring him back to safety. I dont get why someone would want to kill themself while on vacation but it is their choice in what they want to do with their life, Im just thankfull that the man is ok.

Taylor Lautner to Return as Jacob in New Moon, Twilight Sequel!

I was reading an article in 17 magazing about who is going to be cast in the New Moon which is part of the Twilight series. I found out that Taylor Lautner will return to the next movie and play the role of Jacob. In this article I also found out that this movie is set to be released on 11/20. Also in the article i found out that the author had said that some of the actors who played the previous character may not come back because the characters in the book are going through many changes so don't be too shocked when the trailer comes out and the actors who you have come to love may not be in the new movie. I can not wait untill New Moon comes out Im so excited.

Good Book's to Read

In the article they had little bios about all of the books and they all sound good so i think i am most likely going to read at least one or most of these books. I cant wait to do to the book store to get these books.

Bored to Eat

Happy new year!!!! Hope everyone is having a good break well sometime over the break I got an email from Cosmo Girl about a study that happened and people a now becoming Bored and this triggers people to eat. They had 4 rules or tips to find out if you get bored to eat. I think that people could actually get bored to eat, because when you are not stimulated you find something to do and for you that may be eating. I think for some people if you dont get problems under control this could lead to lots of other problems later on like heart disease or diabetes.
