Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!
I went camping in Oklahoma over the weekend. I went with my dad, my brother, my dog, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousin. They also brought their two dogs, making a total of three. The trip was pretty fun, but my dog had an...incident. My dog had never been camping before, so he was a little confused. He was sleeping in the middle of the day, when someone walked close to our campsite. He was startled, and he proceeded to bark uncontrollably and run after them. Unfortunately, he didn't notice the campfire in front of him, which he ran right through. After that, he wouldn't go near the fire for the rest of the trip.

What kind of background do you have with Photoshop? Have you used it before? What other types of design and editing software have you used before? Explain.

I'm kind of familiar with Photoshop. I used it in 7th and 8th grade in emerging tech. I was OK with it, but I wasn't super amazing with it. I remember a few things about it, but I need a refresher. I think that Photoshop is very cool. You can do pretty much anything to an image, if you know how to use it. I'm looking forward to learning more things about it.

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I still disagree with the school's dress code. If you go out and earn a very expensive pair of short shorts, then you have the right to wear them. You should be allowed to wear them at school because that's were most of your life goes as a teen. If you can't wear them at school, where else are going to wear them. Us guys can control ourselves. Teachers shouldn't assume that guys are immature, because that makes them immature. I think that there should be more freedom in what we can wear. Granted, the school dress code isn't perfect, but it could be a lot worse.

The perfect curriculum for me would be a schedule full of music classes. I aim to be in a band when I grow up. I would like my classes to be about guitar skills, music theory, and anything else that might apply to being in a band. ELA would be important if I were to write lyrics, as well. I would also put computer-related classes in my schedule as a back-up plan.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I mostly agree with this article. Girls should be allowed to wear what they want, as long as its within reason. Revealing clothing is only a distraction if we let it be. If a guy is so easily distracted, then that's his problem. In some cases, wearing that type of clothing could enhance a girl's learning experience, if it makes them more comfortable. I think that teachers shouldn't consider everything a "distraction". Like I said before, it's only a distraction if you let it be.

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

Over the weekend, I went to a NASCAR race with my friend, Atish. I had never been to one before, so it was a great experience. The race was pretty good until the end; we spent over two hours looking for the car. In the end, we had to get help from security, and we rode in the back of a golf cart that was going at least 60 mph with no seat belts. That part was fun. Always remember where you parked, kiddies.
