Over the past few weeks, I have been working on another podcast project. I am in a group with Kelly Rice and Madisen Manning. We did a newscast about the holiday of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. It is a holiday similar to Halloween and All Souls Day. It is celebrated in Mexico, and it is when families honor their loved ones who have died. To do this project, we recorded a video on photo booth, with a background of a Day of the Dead altar. I think it looks really good, and I hope we get a good grade on it.

There are so many things that I am thankful for, that there are almost too many to count. I am thankful for my loving and supporting family. They are always there for me and I love them very much. I am also very thankful for my great friends. Since I have come to Notre Dame High School, I have made so many friends. We are always there for one another and we have a lot of fun together. Now that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I have had time to think about all the things I am thankful for.

When I was looking for political cartoons, there were several that caught my eye. I was a very strong McCain/Palin supporter, and I am pretty sad to see Obama elected president. I just hope the next four years go by quickly. Here are some political cartoons that I thought were funny and portrayed Obama well. Enjoy!

I think this was a pretty good cartoon. It kind of shows that Obama really doesn't have anything of substance in his speeches.

I liked this cartoon because it reflects on the questionable people Obama has associated himself with. 

I like this cartoon because it shows that this election was a lot more like American Idol than a presidential election. I think a lot of people still don't know what Obama really stands for.

If I could make my own invention, it would be a vaccination that can cure any type of cancer. Someday, when I become a doctor, I would like to invent this vaccination. So many people are affected each year by cancer, and there are so many kinds of it. If I could invent it, no one would ever have to suffer with any type cancer any more. I would definitely share my invention everyone in the world.

This past week I have been working on a podcast about my favorite scary movie. The movie I chose for my scary movie was Signs. This is the movie with Mel Gibson and the aliens. I did the podcast about the scariest part of that movie, which I thought was the scene in the basement. The aliens were breaking into the house, so the whole family went into the basement. You could hear the aliens working their way down from the attic. It was pitch black in the basement, so the only light came from a flashlight. When the light was shone on the little boy, an alien's hand grabbed him. I thought that was definitely the scariest part of the movie. I had a lot of fun working on this podcast project.
