Dear the world: I would like to confess my love for Nathan Maranto he is a great person...we have had our differences in the past however he has forgiven me...i realize that it was my bad. I dont know how life would be without Nathan he is a great human being and without him my life would be thrown in utter Kaos!

My year in journalism

My year was full of good days, bad days and everything in between. I have greatly enjoyed my year and have seen things in a new light. For example, i now hate computers, typing, pens, paper and writing. I hate blogs, blog websites, and now newsprint. This class was suppose to be my relax class but actually was work.

I love every person in the class. I have made new friends and gotten closer with close ones. Everyone in the class is unique and special in many different ways. I have always found it amazing how no one looks the same in the world. Just saying, off topic i know. But i have enjoyed everyday in journalism.

I now have a new respect for journalist. I alway thought journalist were journalist because they couldnt make it in their original college major. After a year of doing their work i have relized that it takes a special etermined person to fill that job. This person will not be me. Nothing against them it is just that writing is not my thing.

I have even enjoyed my time with Ms. Melancon. She can be tough at times but only because she loves us. Through the year i have never seen her negative in any way. She is always uplifting and encouraging which greatly helps in the classroom. It is almost hard to respect her as a teacher because i consider her one of my good friends. Thank you Ms. Melancon for being a wonderful teacher and being a postive example in my life. P.s. if you would like to uprade your title to Mrs., then im your guy ;)

How could i end this blog with out a paragraph on Nathan. Me and him have been though a lot. Im surprised that he still likes me after how many times i have beat him up. Not physically but mentally. Who knows how i would have made it through this class without him. thanks Nathan for always being there, even when times were rough. P.s. If either Brooke, Danielle, Chelsey, Laura, and Sarah are reading this, im going to bring yall on dates. Because i like yall, every single one of yall. I mormon its legal.

Rural Life Museum.

The rural life museum is located in Baton Rouge, Lousiana. It is a museum full of ancient collections and knowledge. The main point of the museum is to teach people how older americans lived on a plantation. The museum tells a great story and has the world larget collection of outhouses. The museum actually began as a mans private collection but then became a well known museum.
The museum shows the life of people back from the past. It demonstrates their way of life. They have different shows and presentations of how they lived their everyday lives. You are able to eat some of the food. You can even participate in helping the workers utilize the old machines
The museum is essentially a collection of seven buildings that illustrates the various cultural influences of Louisiana's settlers. The Barn holds many items from prehistoric times to the 20th century. All of the buildings have something interesting to go see and are all functioning. The workers dress in old-timey clothes as well to give you a real sense of how life back then was.
I have actually visited the museum once before. Although im not claiming to be an expert on rural life, i must say i have learned alot. A tour guide will guide us through the village to teach us everything we need to know about the museum. The guides are volunteer workers and guide for the fun of it. That proved the dediction they have toward the museum.
I am looking forward to going to the rural life museum. I have been before but am anxious to go see any new collections that they might have added. I also will enjoy being out of school. A terrible field trip beats an awesome day at school. I hope all goes well.

Under a glacier of iceland, a volcano erupted. This is the second time this month. There is an active volcano under the ground in Iceland. The fact that this volcano is active, is very scary. The volcano erupted again on Wednesday april 21. The volcano cause 800 people to evacuate and even flights to be delayed.
The glacier was melted by the heat of the volcano. The glacier began to melt and run down the mountain. This cause the water to rise 10 feet in local rivers. This eruption was 10 to 20 times greater than last months. The water is still draining from the site so they can only estimate the damage it has caused.
Civil protection officers rescued 70 stranded tourist the day of the incident. So far, none have been annouced dead. That is fortunate because it is located on a tourist site. The people who were rescued were quickly taken care of and brought to a red cross.
This is the 2nd time this month that the volcano in Iceland has erupted. Each eruption is getting stronger and stronger. Scientist predict that if the eruption causes a chain of eruptions in volcanoes near the area iceland will suffer severe flooding. This my friend will not be good. The end is near Iceland, the end is near.

Lake Lochness

There have been many mysteries that have puzzled mankind. What came first the chicken or the egg, Bigfoot, aliens, and the lochness monster. These are some mysteries that have never been proven. The lochness monster was said to be a dragon type monster living in Lake Lochness in Scotland. The monster was first seen repectively around 565 A.D. by a man and his wife. The man said he saw it around dawn and it looked like a giant lizard.
Since then there has been many different sitings. A woman said that she saw the monster everyday for 3 days. Her description of the monster matched that of the man's in 565 ad. She contacted many different authorities but was turned away because they didnt believe her.
Since the sitings, many people have been faking the pictures of Nessie the lochness monster. Three of the most famous pictures were staged. The were staged by the man Robert Kenneth Wilson. He made a fake monster and placed it in the water and photographed it. After a few edits, the monster was made.
There has been sonar study to find the monster. Divers placed sonar becons in the water at the bottom of the lake. The sonar test result came back with a picture of one large monster like animal. The picture is blurry but there is a chance that the photographed image could be the lochness monster.
There are many false sitings that have proven the lochness monster to be just a hoax. There has been the report of v shaped waves in the water, as if something is swimming unnder it, they were found to be just birds. There has been giant eels found in the water, these eelshave been said to be the lochness monster.
All of these false siting have somewhat disproven the legend of the lochness monster. As for me, I still believe. I believe that the monster is real. We are constantly finding animals that have been said to be exstinct for centuries. This proves that there is a slight chance that Nessie is out there.
