Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites. 

I finished my scavenger hunt over the weekend and ended up retaking some of my photos to make them more artsy. I didn't like the ones that I had taken at school because they didn't look and good and looked pretty basic. I was able to capture some good light at home and was able to take photos that were different from the ones that other people would have taken because they weren't at the school. I did almost all my photos at home but kept a few of the photos that I had taken at school because they actually weren't that bad.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest? 

The main thing that I know about photography is through watching my dad take them of cross country meets and my tennis matches. I know that there is a variety of forms and that you can change them to different colors. I have instagram so that't the main thing that I know about editing photos for there sometimes I will edit them and put different filters on it. How I edit the photos is I usually adjust the brightness and the sharpness. Sometimes the pictures are too bright or too dark so I will add highlights or shadows on the photos depending on what the photo needs. My dad also was always in charge of taking a photos for my brother and I's sports teams. So I have seen that before and sometimes he does editing on that to enhance the picture and make it more clear and crisp. I like taking pictures a lot actually and enjoy editing them and making artsy photos.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

Over Spring Break I went with my family to Hawaii. We went to the island of Oahu. I wanted to go on spring break with some friends but I didn't mind actually being with my family. During the trip we went on ATV's that took us on a tour of an area that was very pretty. Next we had some free days where we went shopping. I got a really cute purse from Kate Spade. Then we went on a bike tour which wasn't my favorite thing but it was fun and we got to see some parts of Hawaii that I haven't before. After that I have never seen Pearl Harbor so we also went and saw that and I also went aboard the ship the Missouri and learned some of the history that happened there. Spring break overall was pretty fun.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

For spring break I am going with family and friends to Hawaii. I am excited to go to Hawaii because I haven't been back since I was about eight years old and at that time we had went to a different island. So I am glad to be going back so many years later and seeing a different part of Hawaii. I can't wait to just lay on the beach and get tan. Because right now I am really pale and my hair like matches my skin and it's just a huge problem.

Tell me about your weekend. 

Over the weekend I had a tennis tournament which didn't go well at all, I played okay but just not well enough. Then after the tennis tournament I went and hung out with a bunch of friends. It was overall a pretty boring weekend so I will go ahead and tell you what my mom did also, over the weekend my mother pained our kitchen a lighter color which is good I guess because it lightened up the kitchen a lot. But then again it was annoying because we couldn't touch anything and I was hungry and couldn't open the cabinets. hmmmm what else, my dad played tennis also over the weekend and I think he won his matches though. I also recently dyed my hair blonde which was maybe a mistake but I am getting it fixed today. I really don't have anything else to say but all my other posts are much longer so this line was really just to add more onto my post.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

If I was the principal for the week I would fix the WiFi because all the students have poor access if any. The student WiFi is so restricted it now it doesn't even let you snap chat. And then we go to assemblies and tiger TV and they ask us to tweet about a variety of things but we can't even access it so I do not get how they expect us to accomplish that. I would thing make it so instagram and all the other form of media are accessible to the students. Then I would fix the food that we have. Thursday's lunches are just terrible there is nothing to eat but hard fries and soggy oily pizza which  no one wants to eat. The vending machines are a joke the food is barely in there and barely edible, I don't want to waste money on air. Lastly we don't need a vending machine that talks to us, I am a senior and things were way better my freshman year. And as a final thing I would make sure that all sports are getting enough attention. It seems that almost every other sport but tennis and swimming get attention. Football basically rules are school and others are lucky to even get a slight mention at an assembly. Lastly if they lose a game such as boys basketball yes that's sad...but why are we seeing highlight after highlight on the game? I'm sorry but didn't we lose? Sports are shown a ton of attention at our school for losing which would change. While other sports who are winning and putting up results just get pushed aside..why? because Tiger TV wants to make sure and show our boys football and basketball losing. And they always forget to mention the fact that we actually lost the game. Air time should be judged upon wins, I bet Tiger TV would look a lot different.

Tell me about your weekend.

Over the weekend I hung out with some friends before the snow mess hit. We went shopping first and then we went to go hang out with some of our other friends Mikey and Dante. But then Saturday hit and it snowed all day so I was stuck inside with nothing to do. I watched probably like 4 movies and just laid around because I was so bored. The only excitement came when I had to take my dog out in the afternoon and she thought it would be a fun game to just take off running from the yard. I wasn't prepared for this at all and didn't have shoes on just socks and had to take off running after her. She got all the way up the street in the wintery mess before I got to her and she was wagging her tail as if she didn't do anything wrong. I was so mad but I know my dog loves the snow and I should have expected it because she does that kind of thing all the time. Lastly on Sunday I was able to re meet up with some friends (leah) and just hang out and actually do some homework. So all in all it was a pretty boring weekend. I don't get why it can't snow on a weekday and it has to do that on the weekend.
