When it came time to make the churros no one knew what they were doing but Trevor, because he's made them before. We decided to bake them instead of frying them because it was supposed to go faster, bad idea, they ended up not looking appetizing at all. On top of that when we brought them to school the sugar that we sprinkled on top had turned into a sticky, liquidy mess! Basically the moral of the story is that we clearly don't know how to cook.

Spanish Project: Making Churros
On Sunday afternoon around 11 my two friends, Audrey and Trevor, came over to work on our Spanish Project, which requested that we cook a dish from the country we chose to research. Our country was Spain and we decided to make churros. Our adventure began with a trip to Walmart, how exciting, we needed to get flour, eggs, ducks. The Ducks were for Audrey so she could fulfill some crazy plan on how to ask Brennan to Sadie's.

Robert Samuelson
The Washington Post
January 23, 2016
Robert Samuelson seems to have a fascination with the stock marker; his last 4 or 5 posts have been discussing how the economy is going to suffer from the stock market. In this post he talks about how oil prices and the economy are related. Samuelson uses a plethora of quotes and other sources to support his statements about what the economy is predicted to look like while also using data and numbers. Samuelson explains that even though low gas prices look good to us they may be what causes the demise of the economy. His final statement states that "with risks now rising and rewards falling, firms and households might cut their spending just a bit- and cause the very slump their trying avoid" which leaves the reader to wonder what life would look like if this were to happen as well as if they can catch themselves cutting back.

These past two weeks have been extremely stressful and have caused me to cark about my future. I don't really seem to get what all of the ado is about AP and honors courses anyways; in all veracity I only take them because I feel like it is expected of me to do so. I really don't even think that it matters weather or not I took any AP classes because in the end my GPA is what it is and it hinders the excitement of senior year to be bombarded with a million things to worry about for next year when this year isn't even over. The anxiety over next year perturbs me and distracts me from stressing about this semester.
My college counselor suggested to me that I invest my time in an AP history class instead of taking an AP english course, he could tell I wasn't that interested so all he asked is that I go and talk to Mrs. Howell. I never did. My thought is that if i'm going to be required to go above and beyond in a course then it should at least be something that I am interested in. After this stressful week I definitely got a much needed good sleep.

Is the Next Recession on its Way?
The Washington Post
January 17, 2016
In this article Samuelson discusses the recent global problem that is the stock market. He explains the domino effect that has occurred, which originated when their report for manufacturing activity surfaced and they had a sharp drop in their stocks; which then spread to the U.S and Europe. Throughout his post, Samuelson, uses key words or phrases such as, "Consider:" and "It's hard not to wonder:", to prevent his reader from being lost in the complexity of his topics. Samuelson doesn't waste space or time when discussing his topics either; he uses short and to the point sentences in order to get his point across to the reader which is extremely effective when it comes to this issue in particular. The stock market is very delicate and can make or break our economy depending on which way it swings. In the end Samuelson takes this top heavy issue and adds a weird, humorous statement to his post which reads, "Whatever happens, this is not your father's business cycle" which, I think, only contributes to the understanding that the stock marker is extremely difficult to understand.

Over the weekend I did….

Over the weekend I babysat, basically the hired hands to watch and help out, my 8 week old Cousin, Vance, in New Orleans while my Aunt went to a party. She was gone for about 5 of the longest hours I have ever experienced. Vance cried about EVERYTHING and there was nothing I was able to in order to calm him down. I held him for about an hour until he finally stopped crying and fell asleep but after about a 1/2 an hour he was right back to his shenanigans. After 3 hours i finally got his pattern down; Crying leads to Sleep. Sleep leads to peace. Peace leads to him waking up and crying again. The next morning my back and arms were so sore from holding him i could barely move. His crying was worth it in the end though because I got to hang out with my aunt who i don't see all that often.

The Start up Slump
The Washington Post
January 10, 2016
In this post Robert Samuelson addresses how the number of startup companies is dropping and the survival rate of these companies is even lower. Samuelson takes an odd approach to his posts and uses the pronoun "we" when discussing things such as the economy or anything that could relate to the audience. By doing this it allows for Samuelson's audience to relate more to the topic and have a better understand of what it is Samuelson is attempting to discuss. Samuelson uses data and reasoning to back up his claims and always gives information that will support his ideas.
