My next birthday cake

My dad is a professional cake decorator, so next year for my birthday I would like it to be decorated with bunnies on it or hockey. My dad can do a lot with a picture, so if I give him a picture of my rabbit or of hockey, then he will be able to design it on the cake. Of course the cake flavoring has to be strawberry. I do not like any other flavoring. It is ironic considering I have been around cakes my entire life. I do not like a lot of cake. When I do eat it I have to take all the frosting off because I hate frosting. I do like to have my cakes decorated, so that is why for my next birthday, I would like to have it decorated with bunnies or of hockey.

Why you should never

Why you should never text and drive at the same time. It is very dangerous. You need to give your full attention to both, and you can not do that when you are doing them at the same time. Driving takes a lot of work and if you are not paying attention to the road or other cars around you, you can cause an accident. I have seen pictures and heard of stories where the person was texting while driving and got into an accident and killed themselves or someone else. That is why I refuse to drive and text at the same time. I do not like driving so I have to pay attention to the road, and I can not do that when I am texting. That is why I think people should never text and drive at the same time.

Difficult Person

I have learned by experience that the best way to get along with a difficult person is to nice and smile to them. Me and this girl where in the same activities together and we never got along. When I would tell my mom about it she would give me the advise to just smile and go along with what she wanted to do, no matter how much we disagreed. At the beginning it was so hard to just smile and go along because I would want to add my input. After some time, it started to work and she would return the smile or ask for my advice. To this day we are still not best friends but we do get along better. That is why I think the best way for me to deal with a difficult person is to just smile and be nice to them. It shows that you are a bigger person.

The hottest place that I have ever been

The hottest place that I have ever been would be Mexico. I have been there twice and both times they were in the hundreds. I was first there with my high school marching band in May. The band decided to take a cruise to Cozmel Mexico. We left the last day of school. When we got down there it was so hot. I got sun burnt really badly. The second time I was to Cozmel was with my family. My dad decided to take me and my sister on a cruise again to Cozmel. This time we went to Jamaica, Camon Island and Cozmel. Cozmel was the hottest place of the three. We went over Easter vacation, but it was still in the hundreds. I forgot from the first time how hot it was. That is why Cozmel Mexico is the hottest place that I have ever been.

What Gift I Would Like For Valentine's Day

I am a simple person so the gift I would like to get for Valentine’s Day is a simple card. I do not like receiving a hug gift but a simple card still shows that the person is thinking of me. I do not get a lot of mail at my dorm it is nice when I do get something from my grandma or aunt just showing me that they are thinking of me on that day. I know that I am loved and a card is just of reminder of that. My parents are known for giving me and my sister for every little holiday. Sometimes the card has money in it but knowing that they remembered is a nice. They know that I love getting the cards no matter how insignificant the holiday is. That is why I just like getting a card for Valentine’s Day instead of a big present.

What I Learned This Week In the Library

What I learned this week from being in the library. When I am looking for a source from the internet I learned what to look for to be a creatable source. It has to have a author, a date, a rating, and if it is a government issued website. When I started looking for sources for my paper, all I had to do was look for those qualifications. It made looking for creatable sources a lot easier. I did not understand how end note would help me. I understand the process but how to do the references I did not get. Finding the information was easy but putting it in as a references went over my head. I am sure that I will get it eventually but I think that, that part needed to be explained a little more or have more time on that subject.

Experience With Libraries

I have both positive and negative experiences with libraries. When I go to my hometown library, I know where things are and I can find them really easy. I might have one or two questions but the librarians help me out. It seems to me that when I go to some other library that I don’t know then, that’s when I start to have problems. I can never get anyone to help me and the computers are confusing. I have trouble using the computers in my hometown library but after awhile I can figure them out. So I have both good and bad experience with libraries. I like going to them because they are quite and I can find a lot of variety of books.

Pros and Cons to using the Internet

There are pros and cons of using the internet for a research paper. There are many pros to using the internet. You get the information for your topic fast, and you get a lot of information. However, there are many cons to the internet. You have to be careful on what internet sources you use. Some of them are not legit. Someone can just be making up stuff in the basement of their house. So you need to use sources that have .org, or .edu or something that is government protected. Using the websites that end with those are not going to lead you astray. It is helpful if site has a author, contact information and a raking. With using this information you can be sure that the information that you are receiving is the best information.

The One Thing That I Know Most About.

I really know much about rabbits, but I am no expert. I love rabbits so I have read a lot about them. However, I do not know much on what is wrong with them when they get sick. I know that they need to be taken to the doctors. I can look for symptoms when my rabbit is sick. Other than when they are sick, I know a lot about them. Like the fact that they have 360 version but they cannot see right in front of them, that is why they have their head turned when they look at you. They are also very aggressive when it comes to their territory. My rabbit doesn’t like it when I clean out his cage because he likes it the way he had it. He will get very aggressive. He does not bit but he will grunt like a gig at me. It is easy for me to tell what his behavior is because I have read the books but to my sister she does not know. That is why I think I know more about rabbits than any other thing.
