Sring Break STRESS

So my group of friends and I are going on a cruise to the Bahamas for spring break, I AM SO EXCITED! One expects spring break to be chill and fun and stress free. So far this is not the case. First we had the drama of figuring out where to go. There were long dicusssions and voting. Finally we came to the decision of going to a cruise. This is what I voted for so I was excited. Now we are going through the drama and stress of picking our activities for when we get off the boat. As one of the more organized people in our group I asked people to make a list of their top three activites for each of the three stops so that we could discuss who would do what together. Of course only half the people made their lists, ahhhhh!!!! As a control freak and an organization freak it stresses me out when people don't follow specific instructions. Now we just have people posting their lists to facebook, but I'm still a tad annoyed. Anyway, it shouldn't be this painfully stressful to plan fun. That's all for this post....but I think I'll post again soon...

IMAGES

Another assignment for website design! We have now learned the next step in creating awesome website, adding photos! Supah fun. So now my websites don't look quite as ametureish and look a tad better than the websites you find via google that just look so boring that you immediately click back before it bores you to death.(Fun Fact: a new research study has found that you can be bored to death, unfortunately I have no idea how they tested this...)Anyway in learning how to upload pictures we have also learned how to create pictures, and know I don't mean how to press the button on a camera, I mean through Adobe Fireworks. Officially my favorite Adobe program! It is sooo cool, I was able to create my own logo, it's pretty sweet(not the logo, the program haha. You can check out my a little less lame website at:

Why do they complain?

So all of my guy friends always complain about how hard it is to think of cute ideas on how to ask girls to dances. I personally think it's fun, and fairly easy. There are so many options, so I don't think it is that hard to come up with an idea. You can go the classic simple route..pass a note to them in class, have a friend deliver a note or just tape a peice of candy and a card to their locker. Then you can go a little above that, make a poster with pictures of them, a poster with candy bars spelling out words, or christmas lights poked into posterboard to form letters, and scavenger hunts. Then there are the over the top ways, they dont necessarily have to take more time than the rest they are just more...public. The cups pushed into the wire fence, the huge sign on the school building or the asking in front of everyone in a school assembly. Any way you do it I don't where it become soooo dificult to come up with an idea, it just seems silly. This post is inspired by the fact that this week most of the girls are asking for Sadies. I made a poster, that included a bit of an inside joke(inside jokes are really good too!) a friend of mine put a starbucks coffee cup on a guys desk with her number, and he had to text yes or no. Another girl found a picture of her and the boy she asked from 1st grade of the two of them, which was super cute. Anyway come on guys step it up, be a man and stop complaining! Oh and do ask, don't be lame and go stag, that's only cool if you're a girl. jk lol

SNOW IN TEXAS!

Do I live in Texas, yes. Is it snowing YES! It is so crazy right now, so far we have had an inch every hour since 3am. Unfortunately my school has decided that we still need to be in school? Not sure what their thinking but whatever so far the day has consisted of every class being let out to play in this winter wonderland. i am still so amazed. To all of you people up north where it snows like crazy, I know you're laughing but I don't care, this is Texas, we don't see snow all the time, so I'm excited! I have never lived where it snows in the winter, this is a real treat. The flakes are huge, and I just help out a group of people create an 8ft snowman. EPIC. Check out the picture! Now I'm off to play in the snow.

P.S.Holding snow makes your hands cold, random revelation of the day.

Also check out my friend's blog PB&J , she also wrote about the crazy Texas weather.

As they say, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes."

Technology and School

So my Website design teacher has told us to write about how we use technology, specifically our phones to do things for school. Well, I am not that cool kid who has an iphone and I don't have internet on my phone, but that doesn't mean I don't use my phone for school. I am able to send pictures for projects etc. to my email via a text message. (Something I just found out was possible today, yippee!) I also get text updates from my class head, about meetings and whatnot. Anyway its super cool to use technology for school!(rhyme)

Hello world, so my next assignment is to create my own logo for my new website. It is so hard to think of what to do that follows the quidelines of a good and memorable logo. You want to make it pop, make people notice it, but not necessarily with color. The logo should be awesome enough that it looks cool even in black and white. The bigger issue though is just figuring out what type of logo image would represent me, what says, Blair. Of course I thought about a big red bow, but that's just a bit much. In order to figure out what my logo should be I did a little research for logos of other things that I like, here are my top five, (keep in mind I only looked for about 10 minutes and I'm sure with more time I could find even better ones.

World wildlife foundation (panda)- cute, works in color and in black and white
NBC (1/2 wheel of color)- bright colors, simple
Hooters(owl)- creative, eyes are in the letters of the name
Pampers(heart)- simple
Iams(paw print)- easy design, recognizable that its for animals, works in all colors

Anyway, I have a new found respect for people who design fantastic logos that everyone can identify. Random revelation of 2/9/2010.
