This article is about how humans have evolved so well. It says that animals have evolved some and that some are good learners but it says it could be bad for the animals if they were to smart. It says that even some micro-organisms are smart and they can learn somewhat. This article is also saying that you can evolve without the nervous system but it is difficult. Some scienctist actually take flies and make them so that they can learn better and easier. This takes up to 15 generations to do though because it is such a difficult process. The doctors say though that the flies live a 15% shorter life than the regular ones.

I dont really like the article that much. It was very confusing and i didnt understand much of it. I thought that it was about how animals arent as smart as humans and explaining why. This does not make me feel any smarter because i have known that animals are dumb my whole life. In school, i preform ok and it does not make me feel any better until i would be able to compare myself in school with them.

"Listen up! Information seems to stick in your brain best when you hear it, so it sounds like you're an auditory learner. A technique to try in class is to listen more and write less, or if your teacher will allow it, record the lessons. Then, when you sit down to study, you can either read your notes out loud or listen to the tapes to make sure you've got things down pat. "

I am not surprised by this result. A lot of people have told me that I am a learner that learns better listening and seeing stuff because then i can take the time to visualize what they are saying and it gives me a picture in my head. Usually in school, i do better being able to listen to something or to have something that is hands on. Like last year in Dr. K's class there was a lot of hands on stuff and i excelled because of that. If i were to be able to watch a movie or see someone act out a scene then i would be able to understand what has happened there. In high school, i think being able to actually see stuff and experience what i am trying to learn about would help. Things like field trips help me a lot if we are able to go and see where that thing happened or be able to see a reenactment of something.

This article was telling about how there is going to be a Dicken's Theme Park. They say that they are hoping to bring in over 400,000 tourist a year. In the park, there is going to be a Magwitch inspired boat ride that takes you around and tries to recreate the boat ride. This theme park is going to be in Kent. They say that this park is going to be awesome and decked out to the most realistic things possible. I think that this theme park is a good idea because it might help people to understand Dickens more and understand what he was trying to say in his books. I also like the idea of that boat ride because it will put this scene in a different perspective for some people.

I think that this theme park would be interesting. I like the kind of parks that are more thrilling. This theme park is one that shows you stuff. I would like to go on that boat ride thing because i want to see how that is. Some of the other attractions are interesting. I think that this park would be a good way to get a better feel for the book and the movie.

In the article about surnames, it is saying that there has been a huge increase in hispanics coming into America and that there names have been moving from the 20s and 30s to the top 10. This hasn't suprised the demographers. Demographers are the man and women who do these searches and polls. It is also saying that there is a increase in postion for the name lee because that is a very common name in Asia and China and they have also been migrating over to the United States. I am not very suprised about this poll and how the hispanic and Asian names have increase over the past few years due to imigration. I don't think that this is a bad thing but i don't like how imigrants names are being put at the top of the list. This is saying to me that there are to many imigrants coming into the US and that we need to do something about it.

When i researched my last name in the data base i did get it in there. Britt, my last name, was ranked at 1,059, which is a lot lower than i thought it would have been at. Since 1990, Britt has gone down 181 places. I had know clue about any of these things for my name. I was very suprised to find that my last name was so low in the standings because i have heard my last name a lot. I am not that suprised that it has gone down a lot because there have been a lot more different names to come to the united states.

My family is from a lot of different countries but i don't know them. My mom's maiden name is Sharon. I do know that i have a relative that is 110 going on 111. I don't know a lot of history about my family, and i do think that i did have a great grandfather that fought in the World War II. There isn't really much to say about my family. We had some people that fought in wars and some really old relatives but that is it......

I can't wait for Christmas break. I am going to my grandparents house in Wayne county for Christmas day. I am also going to try and hunt as much as i can and bring in some good deer meat for Christmas day. Usually we have our Christmas party at either my house or my grandparents house. I love the Christmas break because I can get my energy back and relax. I am also hoping that my friend will take me to the eastern shore in Virginia because there is a lot of duck and deer up there to hunt.
One of the biggest things that i want is an itouch. I want this because my old ipod "fell" out of my pocket and the screen cracked. Now i have to use my dads and i want my own. Something else that i want is some hand wind breakers for my four wheeler. When I ride my four wheeler at night, my hands get really cold and i hate it. One other thing that i want is a gun holder for my four wheeler. This way when i go hunting, i can keep my gun instead of having to strap it to the four wheeler. The last thing i want for my four wheeler is a twist throttle. When i am riding a long distance, my thumb gets tired so. If i have this then i will not have to use my thumb, i will have to use my whole hand. I am also going to be giving to other people to. I don't know what i am going to be giving because i haven't got it.
