I thought pandemic 2 was kind of fun after i understood it. At first i couldnt figure if my disease was spreading and how to make it stronger but after i got help from my fellow classmates i started killing mankind. i thought this game is kind of believable. I'm sure we would stop the disease before it could do any major damage. I think pandemic diseases are a big issue and we need to do as much research as we can to prevent and stop them before they can do any major damage. This game explores the idea of resilience. first you are killing and infecting people then when it get to a verry big amount of death the goverment will start making the vaccine. if you dont kill everything in time the world will come back and heal from the damga the disease caused and the disease will be no more after mankind makes the vaccine.

I thought feed was a strange but interesting book. I thought it would be pretty cool having internet in your head 24/7. I have learned that with all the advanced technology there were some disadvantages to it. The world with 24/7 internet hookups was falling apart there was radiation outside there little world. People got lesions. People’s body parts functions turned off I also learned that the U S is the only country with FEED. Everyone is mad at the U.S because of there technology is ruining the planet. No one seem to care until violet she tries to show people what the feed been doing to the world and every on this planet. They got air factories and fake birds all because how crappy and screwed up there planet is because of there amazing technology. Violet is the one who tries to fight the feed and she has been affected by it. She starts to forget things in her life, her childhood. Her body parts turn off. At the end she ends up dying. so over all i thought it was a great book and was strange at the same time and i hope this wont happen in real life. even though its kind of like that already, but not to bad.

So far being a vegetarian for my 30 day project been going ok Monday the 12/14/09 went well. Tuesday 12/15/09 at lunch I messed up and had a meatball sub for lunch. But that was my first time. Wednesday 12/16/09 I had cereal for breakfast lunch I had pasta and dinner I had pizza so Wednesday went well. Thursday 12/17/09 I had a bagel for breakfast. Lunch I had a slice of pizza and a drink. Dinner I had a fruit salad and strawberry kiwi yogurt. I only plan on having 1 more mistake of eating meat and it’ll be on Christmas because that’s the main meal. Which will bring me down to 2 mistakes that is pretty good for 30 days? Friday 12/18/09 I had oat meal for breakfast. Lunch I had more pasta that mostly what I been eating is carbohydrates. So when I got home my mom had bought a lot of fruit for me and some carrots because that’s like the only vegetable I like. So my mom made sure I was eating lots of the fruit around dinner or after school. It was ok because I love fruit I like almost every type of fruit. It is Saturday 12/18/09 I had egg for breakfast with hash browns and orange juice. I didn’t have lunch because I ate breakfast late so at dinner my dad brings home this giant chicken but I didn’t have any it was tempting but I didn’t eat any of it instead I had carrots some leftover pasta that was from like to nights ago. I was mad I didn’t have chicken but it was one of those things I had to give up. That basically what happen this week.

It is Sunday 12/20/09 it is another week of me trying to give up meat. Today I had breakfast at 11am I had some scramble eggs the strawberries and pineapples. I skip the sausage and bacon so that was good and I had some toast. Later for lunch I had a peanut butter and apple butter sandwich dinner my mom made tacos and I denied them I wanted them but decided not to eat them so I had a banana and some cereal it wasn’t what I planned on but at least I didn’t have any meat yet. The next day 12/21/09 I don’t have school so I slept in till 12 then ate cereal for my breakfast/lunch = brunch. Later that night I made macaroni and cheese for dinner I had carrots with it. Tuesday I skipped breakfast had a bagel for a snack with some pretzels and peanut butter. Wednesday I didn’t have any meet. Thursday on Christmas eve my family celebrated Christmas instead of tomorrow because we were going on vacation on the 26 so on Thursday I didn’t have ham like I thought I would instead I had cheese ravioli pumpkin cheesecake mash potatoes and eggnog so it went good Friday Christmas day had no meat. And the 26 of December we left on vacation instead of stopping at a McDonald’s or Burger king I ask my mom if we could stop at a pizza hut and get me some pizza because I didn’t want to eat meat. So basically I have been doing great I only messed up once. I glad I only have to do this like for one more week or two. Even though I have an urge to eat all of the great food that has meat in it I think I will be eating less of it from now on specially McDonalds and fast-food places like that.

It is know December 27 and another week for me to not eat meat. We got to are resort and it was 2 am so I had some popcorn for a snack so the next day I went to a family restaurant for breakfast I had some egg, hash browns, and pancakes. For the rest of the day I had some carrots and fruit until dinner where I had macaroni because my mom made tacos and that was the only thing I was aloud to make. The next three days 28, 29, and 30th went pretty good didn’t eat any meat. Because I didn’t have ham on Christmas my mom bought another one on are vacation so I decided to use my second mess up because I only plan on making to mistakes so on New Years Eve I had some ham I had a lot because that hopefully will hold me of till this ends. That was the only meat I had that day. Next day January 1st had no meat the 2nd and the 3rd made it Monday for dinner I had nachos only win cheese and beans because I can’t have meant of course. It is now Tuesday I skip breakfast like I usually do had some pizza for lunch and some chocolate milk. Dinner I had pasta with marinara sauce and garlic bread. Wednesday the 6th I had cereal for breakfast and a cup of strawberry kiwi yogurt. For lunch I had grilled cheese with fries and chocolate milk. Dinner I had pizza (cheese.) It is the 7th of January had no breakfast today. Lunch I had nachos and cheese and fries with drink. Dinner I made a grilled cheese and egg sandwich. It is Friday and I have finished my 30 day vegetarian project. I thought this was a great experience and that I did pretty good only messed of twice and this made me feel pretty good that I wasn’t eating animals as much as I usally would I thinking of limiting myself of having meat only 1 or twice a week. Once again I think I did a good thing by picking this it kind of change me to tell the truth.

Yesterday we were being asigned are 30 day project were we have to give something up for a month. I wanted to challenge myself my choosing something hard so I picked being a vegetarian for a month it shouldnt be to hard because i did for about 20 days before but i gave up. but now i think i can do it. the type of vegetarian i will probally be is a no meat only. that won will be the easiest because if im the one that doesnt eat anything thats from an animal even though it doesnt involve in killing the animal they dont eat it. Take milk and chees for example that means i wouldnt be able to have pizza or mac and cheese i have those each once a week so thats why im only not eating meat. I think this will challnge me. it will probally even be good for me. i might go a little crazy after 20 days but thats just me because i love the mexican food i usually get it at my school so there wont be many chocies at lunch thats no meat. i think if i go through the whole month i will loose some weight. Even though i'm pretty light already. The funniest 30 day giving something up is someone who giving up talking he will be a mute. I told him good luck and i doubt he will succeed.

the big 6 research help my essay more then usual because it help me organize my stuff. i learned about freegans and what they do for the enviroment. i thought it was kind of wierd about them eating food that was thrown away. but i learned that grocery stores throw away fresh food that is expired.l tons of food that is still good. freegans make a positive impact on the enviroment according to all my information i been using. what i did so far was read the articles then highlight info i could use in my essay then i wrote down what i highlighted. i did this for 3 of my articles. over all i realized how much food we waste and freegans can help the enviroment and ecomics. i found out a insteresting fact about how much food we waste. Every day we waste 38 million toms of food every day

One of the simplest ways you can have a direct impact on global warming and the environment is to help create more renewable energy sources. In the United States, we have an abundance of green power from wind, sun, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and some forms of biomass. Other ways is using a solar panel to power most of your house. When you go to the store dont buy those cheap light bulbs that dont last verry long get the eco-friendly light bulbs which will help you save money and help put the world one step closer to saving are energy. Today some cities electricity comes from a wind field. Wind fields are a group of massive fans powered by earth winds. Not everyone knows what geothermal energy is well this is what it is. The term geothermal comes from the Greek geo, meaning earth, and therine, meaning heat, thus geothermal energy is energy derived from the natural heat of the earth. The earth’s temperature varies widely, and geothermal energy is usable for a wide range of temperatures from room temperature to well over 300°F. For commercial use, a geothermal reservoir capable of providing hydrothermal (hot water and steam) resources is necessary.

In english class this week we are starting are energy unit and we got are new book CHEW ON THIS. It is about fast food and there resturants and what the fast food can do to u and how there food is made. On friday we watched SUPER SIZE ME which i thought was a strange and nasty movie it was about a man who decided to go on a 1 month diet of only eating McDonalds. I guess it was for science well any way doctors told him that it was ridiculos and it was dangering his health. He still ingnored the doctors and decided to finish what he started. If the cashier ask to super size it then he had to. In the movie he talks to people asking how much Micky D's they eat. He also meets a man who eats 2 or 3 BIG Macs a day and had eatin more then 3000 in his life. the guy who experemented by eating McDonalds for a month gain 24 pounds in one month. Over all i thought that movie was wrong and it was wrong for that guy to be endangering his life even though it was for a goood reason. In the book CHEW ON THIS I read 128 pages and learned so much about how the fast food business started of and how they make and get there food. I leared about fries getting shot out of a fry gun and how they clean the potatoes. what shocked me about those strawberry shakes is that one ingredient artifical flavors had about 20 to 30 words i could not and i mean not prononce them and i just know that cant be could and it also had a strange ingredient in there it was 10% solution of alcohol it made me sick. so thats so far what i learned about my book and from what i heared it only get more discusting and unhealthy.
