Blog Post #8 - The Future

I've got a pretty good idea on some of the things I would like to do in the future, but as far as I know my plans are pretty flexible. I still have plenty of time to change my mind or deal with other things or opportuites that come along. First off I want to finish a years worth of college credits as a senior in high school that way I can start as a sophomore at BYU Provo. From the time I'm 19-21 I think I'm going on a 1 1/2ish year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at my own expence. I still don't know what kind of job I want yet. I've thought of being one of the following at least once in life, a lawyer, an architect, a teacher, an interior designer, a photographer, a (child) psychologist, a politition, a pediatrician, a vet, an author, a radio talkshow host, a chef/cook, working with disabled people, and that's not the end of the list. That's like my top 13 or so. I think as of today, like this second, now my top 4 are a lawyer, an architect, a teacher or psychologist, but I'm not too worried I've got time to think about it and for all I know I could end up as a receptionist in a denists office or something boring like that.

Although nothing I mentioned above had to do specifically with the piano and only one thing had to do with music or at least I think so it doesn't mean I won't enjoy the job just because it doesn't specifically deal with my top favorite activity. I'd like to do thoes things above since I would find them entertaining/fun or exciting or I can help people or work with kids/people/animals or something i would have a great time with. Just because it's not my top activity doesn't mean I won't like it.

Lastly, my future enducation and many of the jobs I would like to have will mostlikely involve science or concepts we learn when we learn science. I can also use skills I have developed in science class in my future and I will have a better knowledge about the world around me.

Blog Post #7 Favorite Activity

One of my favorite activities is music. The neat thing about music is that it creates style. It also causes people to talk, act, and dress the way they do.

More specifically I enjoy playing the piano and listening to music. When ever I begin to learn a new song on the piano it challenges me and I feel like I've made an accomplishment once I've learned it. One of the reasons I enjoy listening to music is because it can change the way I'm feeling and my attitude.

Chemical Reaction

Ok so this isn't actually my absolute favorite chemical reaction, but it was the easiest one I could find on the internet. Baking soda and VinegarSodium bicarbonate + acetic acid gives sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. NaHCO3 + HOOCCH3 ------> NaOOCCH3 + H2O + CO2 ) In this reaction, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), a solid powder, with vinegar are being mixed. I like this chemical reaction because it is very interesting to look at and amazing how you begin and end with two very different things.
