What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I do not know a whole lot about photography or photo editing. I do know that a lot of people use photoshop to edit pictures but I have no idea how to use it. I take pictures on my phone but for the most part it is just of things that I want to remember. I don't think I have ever taken a picture in the hopes of being artistic. I don't put many pictures on social media but if I do edit them by choosing filters or something. I think photography would be fun but I don't have a big interest in it.

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

This weekend I spent most of my time at work. However, I did put in my two weeks notice so I will only work at Petland for another week. I'm excited to have more free time than I did before and it will help me get caught up in school. I also went to capital grille with my girlfriend on Friday which was really good but it was super expensive. The entire dinner ended up costing me $190. My parents got my entire family world series tickets too.

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree with Riley. While there is a time and place that is appropriate and inappropriate to wear certain clothes, the school does not have the right to decide when that is. Education is mandatory in the United States, so students are forced to be in school. Considering that, it is extremely unconstitutional to force students to go to a certain place at a certain time every single day, but then you want to tell them what to wear as well? There is authority that is legally allowed to decide what "appropriate and inappropriate" is. Also, teachers should be able to teach students no matter what. If someone is distracted by what another student is wearing, then maybe the teacher should do something to get their attention.

My ideal curriculum would be one where I take the classes that interest me and am not forced to take classes that don't matter to me. For example, I want to major in molecular biology in college so I took as many science classes that pertained to that topic as I could, but I was not able to take AP Chemistry because my schedule required that I take a computer class. So I had to take emerging technologies, which I have come to enjoy, but chemistry would have helped me a lot more in the long run.
