A pretty cool online game

I got bored today so i went online to find some games to play to pass the time. I found a pretty cool one called magic pen. Basically you draw shapes in order to get this ball to the end of the level/ Now I know that it may sound dumb, but you got to try it out before you judge, it will change your life! I have made it to level 16 now. They are getting crazy. I even had to resort to going on youtube and looking up one level. Its pretty intense! Ill add a link that you can click on to play, but i got to warn you, you probably wont stop playing anytime soon.

Last week of Classes!!!!

So its the last week of classes! I don't exactly know how I'm going to make this blog real long because this is about all i have to write. I have 2 finals i have to stay for next week. One in Geography and one in History. I also haven't seen my adviser yet! I definitely need to do that this week. I am going to get the worst classes for waiting so long. But thats life. I also have a paper due in English and Geography. I am almost done with my English paper. I am going over it now. I missed my conference last week. For some reason, I assumed it would be in the classroom but it was in my teachers office. I don't have a clue where that teachers office is. On top of that, I lost my syllabus. It was in my backpack when my backpack got stolen from the cafeteria. So that screwed me up pretty bad. I feel bad about that because i made an appointment and missed it. So it has not been the greatest week of my life. But i cant complain. So thats pretty much been my week.
I have not even started on my paper in Geopraphy. I will do that right after this. Im hungry, im gonna go get some lunch! Then get back to work on this stuff! This should be my last blog but its not going to be . I have to do a bunch of make ups! So ill probably do another one of these tonight. If not, ill do a few tomorrow.

Whats up with the Janitors this semester? Part 1

So for some reason, this semester the janitors have decided not to do their job. I'm not saying that i don't appreciate the custodial staff and what they do, because I do. I'm just saying, this semester, for some reason, they feel that they don't need to do even simple jobs like take out the trash. When push comes to shove, we are paying them to work, and I am seeing no work being done in my dorm.

It all started this semester for some reason. Last semester was fine. The janitors had no problem with us and we had no problem with them. We would even talk to each other. But this semester they came in our room and then started complaining about how dirty it was. That was quite insulting considering that they came into our room and told us was dirty. If I would have done that to their house, I would have been kicked out instantly. But we just let it slide.

Then they made us take everything we had out of the kitchen area. We had a recliner, a TV, a play station, and all sorts of stuff in the area. they were fine with it last semester. They never said anything abut it. But this semester, they just got mad and decided it had to go. So after a long battle with the janitors and RHA, we finally decided to take it all out. But all respect for the janitors were lost at that point.

Now the janitors have decided to take all the trash cans out of the halls except for one. We used to have four in our hall. Now we only have one. One trashcan is not enough for a hallway of people to share. The result has been piles of trash on and around the trash cans. We asked RHA about it, and they said that they had nothing to do with it but that they were just as upset. So how did the janitors respond to the trash buildup? Find out in part 2 of this article!

How to make a small crossbow out of common hosehold items

So I saw this on my Google homepage today, and since I'm behind in blogs, thought id post it. Enjoy.

Steps
1. Line up two of the pencils parallel to each other and secure them with tape, leaving at least a centimeter untaped at both ends in order to leave a space for the rubber band later. Repeat for the other two pencils.

2. Create a cross that looks like a lowercase "t" with the two pairs of pencils. Secure them in that position with either tape (electric tape works best), rubber bands, or glue.

3. Unscrew the tip of a cheap or useless pen. Unscrew the other side of the pen, and then take out all of the inner mechanisms. (Save the ink cartridge because that will be used as the ammo later.) After doing that, you should end up with a hollow tube.

4. Secure the tube to the vertical side of the cross with tape.

5. Stretch a rubber band horizontally across the crossbow, anchoring it between the two pencils and going over the pen in the middle.

6. Wrap a piece of tape around the middle of the rubber band where it passes over the pen.

7. Tie a rubber band between the pencils and the bottom of the hollow pen. This is to add elevation, which will come in handy later.

8. Put the ink cartridge back into the tube so that it's sticking out slightly.

9. Stretch the rubber-band to the end of the tube.

10. Grab the ink cartridge, pull it back further with the rubber band, and let go.
