Ski Racing.

Ski racing is an important part of my life and has played a major role in my personal growth. I have made many friends and dedicated lot's of time and energy to the sport. It has helped me understand how much effort goes into being the best.

My ski friends have made my winter weekends a great time. Not only do they offer me competition in my races but yet give me support when I need it. A few of us have been best friends since we were 4 years old on the grizzly bear ski team, and some just joining in a few years ago. As our skills have developed the competition has grown and gotten more intense.

To become a ski racer requires a huge dedication to the sport. Three days a week from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm we train hard. No matter what the weather may be the training goes on. If there is a snow storm a rain storm or just super cold we will be out on the slopes. Some may ask "why train so much?" The answer is the competition from the other clubs is growing and we need to get ahead on our gate training.

All in all ski racing has impacted my winters in the greatest way possible. From my friends to my achievements it always stays a fun and happy environment, well maybe not always...hehe

Forgetting Haiti

January 12, 2010 . The earthquake hit over a month ago and aid was their immediatly. The whole world was there to help until Febuary 12 when the Olympics began. The Olympics are great, dancing, and sporting event at the top level. This is the only thing seen on the News now a days and the world is beginning to forget the disaster that has happened in Haiti. So it's time to put things back in perspective and remember what is really happening out there.

Right now in Haiti over 200 000 people are dead, and over one million people are homeless. It is beleived that it will take over three years to clear away all of the loose rubble from this broken city. I feel the olympics should and will get attention, but they need to keep updating so people will not devote all of there time to the olympics when help is still needed. %%%%%

So, this blog may just have reminded you of whats really going on in the world, but tell your friends so you know that the people won't be forgotten. For me, I even wrote this and it makes me sad to think even when there are such great things happening and then you remember the terrible ones. Therefore, when your watching the olympics and hoping for Canada, give some of that hope for the people in Haiti.

Greeting, my name is Salotine McMicky. My bestest friend in the whole wide world is Roary Snippets. (also my only friend ) Roary and I go way back, almost to the time when the madcow disease broke out in 1996. I work at Monsters Inc, scaring children through there closets at night and enjoy blogging, dancing and eating twinkies.

So, first I'm going to tell you what Roary and I do for fun. From Monday to Friday mornings I come with Roary to school. In the afternoons on those days we usually just go home and play games after eating our pb and j sandwiches. When we play it's usually on roarys xbox. Normally were playing Spyro, or Spiderman adventures. Before dinner we head downstairs to watch our favorite T.V show Zoey 101. Bed times at 8:00.

Therefore Roary is the perfect friend to me because he loves to play and watch everything

i like to do. If you haven't guessed yet... I'm Roary's imaginary friend so I like whatever he likes. All in all we are the bestest friends anybody could ever have and nothing could ever stop that!

Repeat Of A Day

If I could repeat any day of my whole life, it would be hard to choose just one. I could use the day I won my first ski race, or the day I learned how to water ski. I've had alot of good days in my life, but If I could redo just one it would have to be the day I was in two countries at once.

What I mean by "being in two countries at once" is while I was in Switzerland a few years ago, I crossed the Italian boarder on skis. Zermatt to Cervinia, on the highest point in all of Europe. That was the end of the day.. so lets head back to the beginning of this outrageous day.

The day began with a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes at our hotel. We then got geared up and head up the mountain. It's quite interesting how you make your way up Zermatt. First, you hop on an underground train that takes you half way up the mountain, then get on a tram which took us to the highest point. At the top it was very cold but as soon as we crossed the border on our skis that didn't even matter. We were in a new country, on skis. For lunch that day we had the best pizza I have and will ever eat in my entire life. After we skied the rest of the day, and went into the village of Zermatt for dinner.

All in all that day was pretty great, but the best part is... i get to do it all again on March break when I go back to Switzerland! The only think I would do to change is the weather :)

SUPER A!

Super powers. Sounds awesome right? Right. If I could have any super power in the whole world it would be teleporting. I mean teleporting. You can go anywhere in the snap of your fingers. For instance in the mornings, waking up so early to get to school. That would never happen again with teleportation! Bam, Boom, Bam! YOUR THERE! Anywhere, Any Time, Any Day you will be there.

So, Now that I have told you my super power, I will tell you my super hero. Super A is the name, fighting crime is the game. My super heroes name is Super A. Super A fights down criminals in Schools. Pencil stealers, Test Copiers and of course, wedgie givers. I fight down the school bullies who are giving the "different" kids trouble. My technique is to dress as a nerd and wear running shoes so I can get to the principal super fast. This is when teleportation comes in handy. Running shoes aren't nescasary when I have my teleportation to take me to the principal. The nerd costume will help me get close to the bullies so I can pull off my mask and they will see the strength that lies beneath me. Super A will be wherever she needs to be at any time! Keeping the middle school a better, yet safer place.

To conclude, I'd like to say that being a super hero would be amazing. When a younger kid is about to be pounded by the big grade eight bully, I will be there to save the day! SUPER A TO THE RESCUE!

:roary.

anyone for the day.

If I could be anyone in the whole world for one day I would be Taylor Swift because she is an amazing singer, and friends with Justin Bieber and all of the Jonas Brothers. It seems like she has just about the perfect life. So let's get started about my day as her.

If I were Taylor Swift the first thing I would do is go downstairs and my chef will make me a super yummy breakfast. After this, I would head to the fashion plaza in California and start the new trends. Next I would head to a fancy resturaunt with Justin, Taylor, Joe, and Nick. (noone wants kevin) We would be having a great time, eating expensive foods and chillaxin.

Finally comes night, If I were Taylor I would obviously have a huge house. That means I can have everyone sleepover in my big bedroom! I would have a big party with all of my friends and we could stay up all night. Then at midnight I could head over to J Lenno and preform on the late show! Busy day.

So all in all Taylor Swift would be amazing to be.. but I don't think I would want paparazzi following me everything I do would get a little insane. So for now I would like to stay the way I am.

SORRY ITS SO LATE.. KEPT FOR GETTING TO POST..

Did You Know? No I did not know.

Did you know, China will soon become the largest english speaking country in the world? I didn't until our teacher showed my class a video on all of these insane things that are going on in the world. The video made me understand technology is becoming more and more advanced faster then you can imagine. So quickly that in 2013 there will be a 1000$ computer smarter then any human brain. It seems almost impossible.

The education world is changing. If your starting a four year technology course in college, everything you learn in the first year will be outdated by the third year of learning. It's ridiculous to think that the people in the course will have to switch everything they have learned, because of the new technologies. Preparing the learners today for jobs that don't yet exist seems a but farfetched. It's all changing so fast that we won't have the time to learn these things if we don't start now. Our world is changing so rapidly I find it near impossible that it will really happen.

Worldwide web is dominating earth. 200 million people on myspace? If that were a country it would be the fifth largest in the world. The question I was suppost to answer was, "What does it all mean" and to tell you the truth I have no idea what it means. The world is doing fine the the way it is so why do we need to change all of this. Computers smarter then the brain? We should be worrying about the important things. People are dieing in Africa of starvation and here in Canada we've got couples meeting online. So what does it all mean? You tell me.
