If I could relive a day...


There are a few days that I might want to re-do and change something that I might've done wrong, or wish I did differently. There are also some days though that I just loved so much that I wouldn't mind reliving!

There are a few days when maybe I didn't do something that I really should've, like maybe study more a few days before the science exam! Some times there's thing that I wish I hadn't done and if I could re-do a day maybe I would do something differently. There's some days that maybe I wish I hadn't gone somewhere and just stayed at home, or maybe the opposite. Sometimes I may have said something that I can't take back, if I could do that day over again I could change it so I hadn't said or done that.

Some days I would love to re-live, just for the fun of it, like the day I went to a Jonas Brother's concert, or the day I went to the Cambridge Fall Fair with Emily M and saw some bands play. I would never want to live the same day over and over again, though. Even if it was the best day ever, living it over and over again would get really boring. No matter what day it was living it over and over again you would get very sick of it.

So I think everyone would like to live a day over again just for fun or to change something. Some days people do things without thinking and later they wish they could change what they did or said. Also, everyone would love to re-live a day, just simply because it was a really good day! Everyone has at least one special day that was great, but for different reasons. I certainly have a few days I would want to re-do just for fun and because I would want to change something I did or said.

Super Powers!!


It would be great to have super powers. Being able to do incredible things without even trying! You could do anything, fly, read minds, become invisible or shape shift! Those are a few of my favorite super powers.

It would so SO cool to fly because you could go anywhere! Have you ever really wanted to go somewhere, like your friends house, but your parents wouldn't drive you? If you could fly you could just go there by yourself! Also, I really like flying in planes, it just feels really cool! It would be even more cool if you were just flying by yourself, not in some mechanical thing with a bunch of other people.

I would also really like to read minds, but I probably wouldn't want someone to read my mind! Haven't you ever wondered what someone is thinking of you? Like when walking around and some random person kind of looks at you weird, I would love to know what was going through their mind! Also, if someone is talking to you and you're kind of wondering if they're lying to you, you could just read their mind and you would know if they were lying!

Also, it would be amazing if you could be invisible. It would be a lot of fun to play pranks on people. Imagine driving your sister or brother crazy by just moving things in their room around and them having any idea what was going on!

So, I think that everyone would love to have super powers. Everyone would want different super powers though and for different reasons! Super powers would just be a lot of fun, especially kind of because you know that you can do something really special, that no one else can do. Even if some people could it probably wouldn't be many. Everyone does already have something special and unique about them, but super powers are amazing and cannot possibly be ignored.

So if I could have any super powers I wanted I would want to fly, read minds, become invisible and shape shift. To me those are the absolute coolest super powers I could ever imagine. If I could only have one, well, it would be a tie between flying and reading minds. What super powers would you want?

Someone Else's Shoes


If I could be another person for a day I would be a celebrity, like Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus. I would be someone like them because I think it would be a lot of fun to perform on stage and have a big crowd of people. While I was a famous person (with lots of money!) I would for sure go shopping at the biggest malls ever and buy tons of clothes and things. It would also be good to be a celebrity to see what it's like, because they always say how it's not always easy and fun, it's kind of hard to believe that though. So I think it would be good to be a celebrity to see if their complaints are true, or if they're just being winey.

I would mainly want to be famous to just have fun performing on stage, when they're up there it looks like they're having a lot of fun. Also, just the feeling they must have being up there, dancing and singing on stage with a huge crowd cheering for them and singing along.

Being a famous star might be hard though, it would take a lot of energy to sing almost every night and waking up early every morning. Also, paparazzi would love to catch you looking silly and publish it everywhere! Also it'd be close to impossible to keep anything private! Imagine if everyone was trying to find out all your secrets, someone would find out. You see all the stars in magazines, if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend and are even seen with another boy or girl it's published everywhere! It would be hard to have nothing private. The smallest thing you do will be known to everyone and magazines will always make things look worse then they are.

Even with all the bad things about being a celebrity I still would like to be one for a day, maybe a week. I think it would be a lot of fun, but I would also like to see how they feel with everyone invading their privacy.

Did you know?


In class we watched a video called: "Did you know?" and it told us some facts. Some of the facts that impacted me the most were: "China will soon become the number one english speaking country in the world.", "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist... using technologies that haven't been invented... in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet.", "If Myspace were a country it would be the 5th largest in the world.", "It is estimated that a week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century." and "Predictions are that by 2049, a $1000 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human species."

Some of the information it told us kind of scared us, the fact about a computer being smarter than the whole human species is the fact that scared me the most. Imagine a computer, an electronic gadget being smarter than every human in the world! It also amazed us, like the fact about a week's worth of information from the New York times is more than a person would come across in a lifetime in the 18th century. So when someone is even a teenager if they read and learn the information from the New York Times they would know more information than say a 60 year old person in the 18th century.

This video was really interesting, some of these facts I could never imagine! It really opened my eyes to how the world has really changed and is going to continue changing. Compare the world in the 1800's to now. A lot has changed and in the 3000's or 4000's imagine what things will be like! Things in the world really change, especially in technology and health. There will be many more diseases, but also many more cures. In medicine there will always be something new. That's also true for technology, as you read this there are people making new technology, making computers smarter, making more programs to make our lives easier. It makes me wonder though, if computers will ever become too smart. Think, if they become smarter than us it will have many positives, but having some electronic gadget smarter than me and everyone I know kind of freaks me out.

So, this video really made me think of how the world has changed, and will keep changing. Some of the facts kind of scared me, but I think that it was really interesting and good to know. A lot of things that are being invented or changed will have a mainly positive impact in our future, but everything has it's down sides. For example, if we make cars and streets better maybe no one will walk or bike anymore. That is two down sides, people may not be as healthy or active and the pollution it would cause would be enormous! So this video just showed me how things will keep changing and made me think about the positives and negatives about that.
