Google Earth Tours

Today on computer class we viewed our peers Google Earth tours, which was a mixed experience. The first tour was Ximena's tour, it only had to places, her house and Miami, those two destinations seemed interesting. However, there were four locations, and Miami was mispelled as Mami, it also showed from a far distance some islands whose name I can't recall, the whole tour was supposedly erased as a mistake, but still it was ok. The second tour was Mahonry's, it actually only had his house for 35 seconds with a rotating camera. The problem was exactly that, it was also another tecnical issue, such a shame, I actually saw the original last week and it was pretty cool. The third and last tour was Raul's, his tour was complete and included places such as Disneyland and New York, which are two totally awesome places. The only criticism I could add would be reduce probably by a few seconds each destination, but it was overall a great piece of work. In conclusion, this activity had a lot of cassualties thanks to tecnical issues, so it would be a mixed experience.

JOY Post

J:This past summer was quite exciting. I bought Starcraft 2, which I am still playing 'till this day, I actually played the first game twelve years ago. The game requires quite a lot of ability and requires the player to actually have a brain. The original game actually turned into an actual professional sport on Korea, where the best players are from. The game helped me remind the old times as well as reactivate my brain from the vacation period. Apart from the game, I actually started running in my afternoons to get in a better shape(yes, I am not joking). I discovered running was quite challenging, I ran all over Marina, about 5km in 30 minutes for like two weeks up until I got back to school; I am quite busy now. I still run on the weekend as it became sort of like a hobby, I actually really enjoyed these vacations.

O: In these rather incredibly stressful times of school work there is one thing I would love to do, sleep. I actually sleep an average six hours a day which is about two hours less of the eight I should sleep. What happened really was that during the past vacations I started to sleep really late on the nights, I'm talking 3-5 a.m. This is truly the reason why I am so tired at school, but there is one thing I never had and will do, fall asleep on class. For the past 3 years or so I have slept for a little time and yet I have done alright in my grades, I actually love learning as nerdy as it sounds. So I will try to get some more sleeping time as it really doesn't affect me to sleep some more time, or does it? I can handle stress pretty good and I have found that waking up early gave me advantages like: more time to study, chill and listen to some music and arrive early to school. With this said, I would still try to get some more sleep.

Y: I have never liked to be part of the average person, that's why I don't consider myself average. You may call it nerdy or pure weirdness but I have very unique tastes. I personally like learning new stuff a lot more than just going out of my house to party. I don't like parties, it is actually a recently "acquired" taste, but I don't like parties. I like video games, but I also hate that people start classifying me as a nerd, though I really don't bother hitting them back. I believe that physical defense is quite natural to any animal, including humans, so I do have a fuse, a very long one. I have played video games for over twelve years now and I still love them just like then. So with the previous comments stated, this is why I am different from the other people.
