New Sony Laptop
Sony is announcing a new series of laptop. This new series is the VAIO F Series. Soon right after the launch of this laptop there is going to be another launch for the VAIO S. it is going to be mainly an entertainment laptop. It was originally named VAIO SE but then looking at the 15 inch screen they decided to name it S 15. With this new laptop you are going to get a 15.5-inch, 1080p IPS display, NVIDIA graphics with up to 2GB of VRAM and various Ivy Bridge processor options (up to a quad-core Core i7 CPU). The 15-inch S Series will start at $1,000 and will be available in the colors black and silver respectively. It should be available in the market right after a month of this launch.

I think other than Information Technology there was no other class that I could really call that went the best in terms of expectation; although if I really had to choose one it would be French. It is a class that I had to work quiet hard on but it was mostly memorizing verbs and many different ways of working with them. I think it was one of the classes that I was scared the most for but when I started this year was quiet relieved that it worked better than I expected. There were many more classes that went really well but I am amazed by how French went after hearing all the negative things from my peers. Even though it was my second language I had to work a little hard on it but it all paid off at the end. I am very happy with how this year went and I am looking forward to having something similar to this next year as well as I took French for next year too.

This year I think the best class this year was information technology. It was a great year with Mr. C and with amazing project that he assigned us. Out of the entire project I had to work I don’t recall a single project that I got bored and tired of doing. It was great working on then. They are all different and all extremely interesting. I don’t think I have ever taken a class like this ever before. I don’t think I could have expected anything more from this class. We watched movies, played games got projects done and most importantly had fun. I was pleased to work on all the projects but one of the projects that I really liked was the one when we downloaded flash games. It is one thing that I really enjoyed working on and I still use it download other games. It is a skill that I really needed because now I can get more games and play more games with internet connection. I am extremely happy that I took this class this year. It gave an amazing start to my high school career and I and I am looking forward to more classes like this.

I finally got into NJHS. I have been applying for it over the last 2 years and I finally got in now. I am very excited. Tomorrow is the induction night. I have no clue about what it is and what happens in it. Also we have falcon night this Thursday. I am expecting a couple of certificates from that as well. Other than that this is the last week before finals week. It is a very busy week with tests and quizzes almost every day. Also our digital citizenship project is due this Thursday. I have to finish 2 projects this week. We had a social studies test today. It was sort of okayish. I know I could have done better. Although history is not one of my strong points so I can’t really think I could have done any better. I really have a hard time remembering all the different people and the different dates and events. I really need to work on that skill and make it one of my strong points because it is a skill I believe that should have.

What is Digital Law?

Digital law is the law that keeps internet away from bad people who do nothing but invade the digital community. Digital law helps keep illegal things from happening. Things like plagiarism, hacking, piracy are part of digital law. These things happen almost every day and it is invading the digital community. Plagiarism is copying other people’s things. It is not correct. There are many pictures that can’t be downloaded because the author doesn’t want that to happen. There are many new sites and software that allows you to check your work if it is plagiarized or not. This is really helpful because it allows to make sure that the work you are handing in is not plagiarized and completely in your own words. Also hacking into other people’s accounts and computers is wrong. This is very dangerous because this gives access to your account and your personal information will be visible to other people. Every one doesn’t want that to happen to them and I am sure that there is information that people would like to have personal.  So all those people doing these things stop it! You are invading the same digital community that you are part of.

How to be a good citizen?

·         Don’t hack into other people’s accounts

·         Change things into your own words while doing research

·         Give credit to people if you are taking something directly from them.

·         Pay money for something that you are downloading (if needed)

·         Don’t do things that are illegal

·         If you are using something like PayPal or online banking then make sure you are not using some site that is not original and you are following all the safety rules.

·         If you think that something is wrong then you should report about it immediately. Although there is no guarantee that you will get a response right away

How it impacts me?

Being a teenager in the 21st century I am great member of the digital community. There are times when I download some movies or games illegally. I try to avoid it as much as possible. Also recently my email was hacked. That was a lesson from my mistake to make sure that my account is protected properly and my password is strong enough so no one can crack it. Since I am a student I have to work on many different research projects. I have to be very careful about plagiarism and giving people credit for the things they deserve. Plagiarism and downloading correctly are the two most important things. It is very easy to make a mistake and I have tried my best to avoid doing these mistakes.

The hardest class that I had this year was Language Arts. Literature is just not my cup of tea and I am extremely poor at it compared to my classmates. I have worked hard on keeping up with it. Fortunately I worked on study guides that were assigned by Mrs. Eubank. It really helped me review the reading that I did and also remember it. The only good part I had this year in Language Arts was punctuating quotations. I also did quite well with my writing assignments. We have done quite a lot of different types of them this years and I have worked on getting a good grade in those. I am happy with the grades that I received because after working really hard on a class that is not my strength, there is nothing more that I can really ask for. So overall I am quite happy with my performance in Language Arts this year but I really think I could have done much better. I am really looking forward for next year similar to the one I had in 8th grade. Also there is a new teacher coming in next year and maybe he might have a working style that helps me make Language Arts make my strength class as well.  

I have a social studies test next week. This is after a long time that Ms. Smith has given us some of the possible essays that we might have on the test. Doing well in this test is very important because as we are getting closer to the final it is very important to keep the grades as high as I can because that is the only way that I can miss my final. I couldn’t do in the last semester and I am really hoping to do it this semester. Missing a final is a really important thing and specially for a final like this where you have a lot of civilizations with a lot of information about them. We still have a week for finals after this week and I am really hoping to keep my grades as high as I can.

I am actually quiet scared for the end of the year coming up. This is the first time I am actually scared for the end of the year because this is the first time I am taking finals and unfortunately they come at the same time as the end of the year. I am also excited about the summer coming up. It is a great time of the year. After working really hard the whole year it is a really great time to just relax. I have some plans for the vacation but it is also a huge vacation almost like two months. So I can’t really plan for the whole vacation. I am going to India for sure and I am going to spend most of the time there. I really hope I don’t just start to stop working for the last couple of weeks and end this year in an astonishing way.

This is sort of a week with quite a lot of work. I have a short story due tomorrow. I have worked really hard on that over the weekend. The main reason why I chose to do it this weekend was because I wanted to have Mrs. Eubank look over it. Fortunately enough I finished it and I had Mrs. Eubank look over it. She helped me edit the whole paper which is really helpful. I made the required changes and I am already to hand my paper in tomorrow. Revising a paper specially a language arts paper is very important with the teacher because she is the only person who knows what she is expecting of the paper and she is the only person who guide you perfectly through the paper. So let’s just hope my paper goes well tomorrow and I get a good grade because I really need it.
