iwrite Grace Goulson

If I had grown up in the 1980s I would have experienced the fall of the Berlin Wall, the heyday of Michael Jackson, and the premiere of ET, but perhaps the most important development of the 80s I would have seen was that of the Internet. Had I grown up in that time when the World Wide Web was just a baby and the “smartphone” hadn’t even been thought of, my life would have been so drastically different. I’d have been forced to directly interact with others, because that’s the only choice I would have had. I wouldn’t have the world at my fingertips, or rather, in my pocket, and writing this blog post would have been much more difficult and complicated. That’s the way life should be—a life where we have no choice but to interact with people face-to-face and where we have to physically go to the library to find out that information for our homework assignment. People these days have become too dependent on their precious technology and oftentimes are uncomfortable with going about life as if there was no technology. I would prefer to have grown up 20 years ago, though I must admit that technology is pretty darn amazing and helpful nowadays. 

Sofi Tzouanakis

Hello! As you can deduce from the title of this post, my name is Sofi Tzouanakis. To start, I will clear up a common misconception: my last name is, in fact, relatively common. This does not hold true in Kentucky, but if you should go to Greece, my name would be as commonplace as the last name Simpson in the United States. You also may now be thinking, "She's Greek? I was thinking Swedish or Russian!" I know I look like the Aryan poster child, but as my grandfather says, "The first true Greeks had blonde hair and blue eyes."

For this school year, my goal is to not focus on the number on the top of my ACT results letter or the hundredth decimal of my Physics grade, but to try my honest best and hope it is enough. I can attest for every kid in high school when I say none of us live up to our full potential. I've realized though my career as a full-time student if I got a B in a class and I know I tried, then that is certainly good enough for me.

This summer for me was my best summer, no question. There were many great moments I'll never forget, but I think the best moments were when I went on a foreign exchange program to Newmarket, England (horse racing mecca of the UK) and when I visited my family in Crete, Greece. In England, I met life-long friends from both Newmarket and Kentucky. My host Kira and her family were the most wonderful and accommodating people I could've never imagined staying with while I was there. Kira herself is like my other half. I could have not imagined a better fit for me, and I hope to see her this coming February, along with all the other English hosts I became close friends with!

There are so many things that geek me out (books, Star Trek, N64 games, travel, saxophone), but one that seems unusual for a person like me to love is cars. The thing that piqued my interest in the subject was the show Top Gear, a British car/comedy show on BBC. I watched initially because I found the hosts of the show comedic, but I really started to get into the show when realizing how much I enjoyed learning about cars from the show's facts and filmography. I now have an interest in the mechanical aspects of the car, and I am planning to create a 3D model of a 6-cylinder engine in the future. Not only will I enjoy it, but I thought I should know the inner mechanisms of something I will soon be using for transportation.

(An Aston Martin DB9, my dream car. Also the same make as the famous Bond car!)

Assignment 2: iwrite

In 1976, Steve Jobs became a co-founder of Apple. 35 years later he retired, putting his enormous company into different hands, and shortly thereafter succumbed to cancer. His retirement and death did not just mean a promotion for Tim Cook, the new CEO, but a major shift in a company that has been a key player in technology innovation in the 21st century.  Love 'em or hate 'em, Steve Jobs changed our lives.

So, this brings us to your writing for the week:

How has technology affected your life?

Choose one of the following prompts and in 150 words or more, provide your answer.

• Has technology affected you in a majorly positive way? What happened?
• Has technology ever inconvenienced you or hurt you? Maybe technology got in your way, slowed you down or even literally hurt you? Have you seen technology have a negative impact on society?
• How would your life have been different if you'd grown up 20 years earlier? How would you interact with others? Do you think your relationships then would differ from your present relationships? Which time period would you prefer and why?
• Become a futurist and theorize on how might technology evolve over the next decade and what changes might those changes bring.  

The deadline for this blog is Sunday, September 1st at 11:59 p.m.

Hello, I am Parker Carroll. My personal and academic goals for this school year are to do better than I have been doing in the Academy and become a better cheerleader. There was a lot of meaningful moments over my summer vacation but the most meaningful moment was probably my last day of community service. I volunteered at a day care center for three weeks and my last day all the kids were saying,”don't go Parker”. It was cute and I was thinking,”Aw”. If I could have one super power it would be to control time. Really just being able to start/stop it and reverse it. I feel like going forward through time wouldn't end well. Just like in Back to the Future.What geeks me is cheerleading and baseball. I could talk either baseball or cheer for hours.

I got distracted making burritos

Hey, my name is Ethan Petraitis and I'm posting this (almost) last minute because I got distracted and had to drop everything and suddenly make a mound of burritos, but that's over with and now I can resume my homework. Awesome. You know what, that actually happens to me a lot, I am EXTREMELY easy to distract and I tend to get off track very easily (hence the overuse of parenthesis). But hey, that just makes me interesting, right? So anyway... Oh, right, stuff I like to do!

The Burritos

Okay, I am one of the geekiest of the geeks in this class and I just might be the geekiest: I am a total knowledge hoarder. I can bet you I've watched every episode of Vsauce and Scishow to date. I just love the thought of being well-informed. I can't stand ignorance. But what I'm really geeky about is guitars. I absolutely must know everything there is to know about guitars and basses and ukuleles and mandolins and lutes and lyres and really just anything that makes a noise. It fascinates me. I currently own 9 guitars/basses a ukulele and a mandolin (plus a host of non-stringed musical instruments too). So if you said "I'm GAS-ing for a Latte-Burst Corvus with a Bigsby and a min-E-Tune" I would have to contact Guinness because you just bought the worlds most expensive piece of firewood. Despite my thorough love of guitars, I honestly can't play one.I play bass and ukulele though, just not guitar.

This whole not-playing-guitar thing hasn't really bothered me at all though since I get to work with them every day. I refinish and make instruments as a hobby, I'm really trying to get out of it being a hobby though and even went to GSE (Governors school for Entrepreneurs) for it and I learned a lot about establishing and maintaining a business. Fun stuff.

Anyway, I also really like music and bands such as Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, The Cars, The Strokes, Matchbox 20, and The Cure (I'm in love with Robert Smith's bass). My favorite movies are Pitch Perfect and Wayne's World (they're just so quotable) and google says my favorite websites are Youtube, Forbes, Fender, Gibson, TDPRI, and http://www.offsetguitars.com


I actually recorded a video because I was waiting for glue to dry and had nothing better to do:

Ben Gardner

Hello, my name is Ben Gardner. Here's my obligatory picture. And website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU. An excellent song to fly to.

 So, now then. I do spend the vast majority of my time inside, on my computer, doing whatever. Oftentimes, that involves pestering friends via Steam. Also, for the record, the cake isn't a lie. However, I'm not a recluse.  I enjoy camping and hiking, and I spend a lot of time in the Red River Gorge. (I actually just got home from the Gorge, so I'm working on the fly). Honestly, pretty much anything history geeks me, but primarily WW II. Especially aviation and armor. I’ve been to the national level NHD competition twice, with the same partner. For a superpower, I would absolutely go for decent spelling. If not for spell-check, this post would be gibberish. When I’m not playing on the computer, trolling people with Andrew’s soundboards, or hiking, I am reading on my ever present Kindle. The End.

Assignment 1 - Angela Tseng

Hello, my name is Angela Tseng and I was originally born in Rapid City, South Dakota but moved here when I was three months old. I have an older sister and a pet hamster named Abu who pretty much hates me. The highlight of my summer was when my old friend from middle school came down from Chicago to visit us in Kentucky. She was only here for a day, but we had a great time and she slept over at my house. Something that I consider a big part of my life is music, I started piano when I was just four and then flute when I was about seven or eight and now I'm part of our school band as well as the Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra.

Something that geeks me out would probably be...League of Legends. It sounds really bad, but it really is quite fun, especially when you're playing with your friends. But once I start talking about it, it's kind of hard to stop and often my other friends that don't play are trying to get me to stop talking about it. Another thing that I like although doesn't quite 'geek me out' is Catbug, he's just adorable and it's impossible to hate him, in fact, here's a video of him. And my favorite website is probably YouTube, because there's nothing better to do when you're bored than watch random videos on the internet.

This is Alex Warren's Post

Hola amigos! Voy a estar haciendo toda mi blog en español, si no te importa. Actually guys I’m just kidding I won’t speak in spanish for my entire blog, but uhh anyways let’s get this show on the road. First off my name is John, but I go by Alex a shortened version of my middle name, Alexander. People also call me “Bubba” a nickname a girl gave me because she said Alex would be to hard to remember. I guess I could say I’m smart, although I do have my moments, and there are a lot of them. I always procrastinate. Kentucky is my number one team, followed by Louisville (I know weird huh) and then Notre Dame. But I am a bandwagoner, you will see me sport the colors of  many college teams. I am a typical white girl, most of you should know that already. I plan on growing up to be Doron Lamb. I love MacMiller, Kendrick Lamar, and a lot of country artists. Catholicism, that’s my religion. I’m a sock fanatic, they are literally my favorite thing in the world. One time I spent over three hundred dollars on 12 pairs of socks, so I guess they geek me out. I think this is all that I’ll write because I’m lazy and I already passed the word count, so uhhh yeah............

The Odd Future Watermelon socks, that Tyler the Creator is wearing in this picture are going to be my nest purchase.

Joseph Grigsby Blog Post

Hi, I'm Joseph Grigsby, but I go by Wes with everybody. I've lived in Lexington, Kentucky all of my life, but I'll probably plan on living elsewhere in the future. I like Nature. I've just returned to playing the piano, so I'll see how that turns out. I like all forms of music, but I dislike Country for the most part. My favorite is probably Rock, but is usually ever-changing. I would say that the thing that most "geeks" me out are good fantasy Mythopoeias, anything that I can be very absorbed in for more than an hour. The best of these is of course "The Lord of the Rings", but lately even though a videogame series, the Elder Scrolls line has me really absorbed at the moment. I hope to travel in the future, though where I don't know at the moment. I hope in the future I'll be some sort of scientist, but who

Ryan Collins

Hello! My name is Ryan Collins and here is a little info about me.

I enjoy watching movies, playing sports, swimming, reading, and various other activities. My goal for this year is to stay organized and procrastinate as little as possible. The most meaningful moment of my summer was when I went to Ecuador on a medical mission, and got a chance to meet a lot of the local families. It was really heartwarming to see that we were helping families directly. If I could have any superpower it would be the ability to teleport, because I think that would just be awesome. Some other things I did this summer were play lacrosse for my select team, and attend a few camps around Ohio. I also swam for my country club team and played in a few showcases in North Carolina.

            The thing that “geeks” me out is probably The Lords of the Rings. I am a huge fan of the books and films and I just love all the lore that middle earth has. Here is a video tutorial showing how to make a delicious chocolate milkshake, and my favorite school appropriate website is the www.theonion.com

Cassadi Cordea

           Hi, I'm Cassadi. I am originally from Fairfax, Virginia, but I moved here from Sussex, Wisconsin about six years ago. I like Kentucky, but I don't think I'll end up staying here in the future. My favorite place to be is on the beach, so I'll probably end up living somewhere along the coast. I'm in band and I play the trumpet. I love playing an instrument because being able to improve my skill on my instrument gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. But this is also because I enjoy music in general. I listen to various genres and artists, but among my favorites are Coldplay and Vampire Weekend. I don't know if I have one thing that " geeks me out" because I tend to randomly develop new interests. For example, I have a bad habit of starting a new TV series, and then I never get to finish the ones I'm currently watching. I've always been a pretty avid reader, starting when I discovered the Harry Potter series in fourth grade. To me, reading a good book is one of the best forms of entertainment. I hope to be able to travel when I am older. Greece, Italy, and France are at the top of my list right now. I want to go to college out of state, but it really depends on what I decide to study. 

Here's a picture I took of a lighthouse this summer when I was on vacation in Georgia.

 And here's a cat video because for some reason it's the first thing that popped into my head.

Read With Caution

Hi there! My parents named me Olivia (meaning “olive branch”) because I guess they thought I would be a peaceful child-and I was!-up until fourth grade when my friend told me I was lame for sticking so close to the dress code. I like to say that was the turning point in my life when I stopped being a goody two-shoes and more of a free spirit (not to be confused with trouble-maker). I was born in Louisville, Kentucky so although I’m not a fan of their sports teams, I feel a deep connection to the city-specifically The Old Spaghetti Factory and the zoo, my two favorite places on the planet. I have two brothers and two sisters so maybe I’m loud because I’ve had to talk over them for years. I’ve been playing volleyball since 6^th grade and I think I’ve come a long way since playing for Winburn. I play outside hitter for my high school team and for club, all the way around. I can’t decide if I love it or hate it honestly. Practicing every day and having tournaments on weekends every so often can get sort of repetitive but hitting girls in the face makes up for it. I also play the double bass in the Symphonic Orchestra at HC. The only song I have memorized is the theme to Jaws (which consists of two notes).

So I was a little stressed over this assignment because I couldn’t think of anything that makes me geeky! Some people have it easy with their Doctor Who or Harry Potter obsessions or by simply being in band whereas I have had to think long and hard about what could possibly make me geeky (but not gross). After creeping on other students’ posts, I realized my true passion: rides. Not the kind I get from my friends/parents because even though I turn 17 in three months, I still don’t have my license. I’m talking about amusement park rides. You know that feeling you get where you think you’re going to lose your last meal when you go down the first big hill on a rollercoaster? It feels like your stomach is doing somersaults! Well, I LOVE THAT FEELING. One of these days I’m going to find the world’s scariest rollercoaster and ride it. I also love milkshakes, whether from Sonic or Steak & Shake or the blender in my kitchen and I hate how everyone who has every instagrammed a picture of a milkshake has to caption it as “My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard!” It’s not funny anymore.

You should also know that I am a belly flop champion. That is all.

Oh and my favorite website is google.com. Without Google, I would be lost.

Picture day with Lynsey and Haley! I have a love/hate relationship with them like I do volleyball (kidding, of course).

Before anyone goes and makes fun of my one-piece (Sofi), I want to establish that this was a church event so I had to keep it appropriate.

 

 

Maranda Gaines

Hi, I’m Maranda. I’ve lived in Lexington my whole life. My family and I have always been close. I live with my mom and 13 year old sister (I can’t stand middle schoolers). Growing up, sports played a big part of my life. Track and cheer were always something I participated in when I was little. I’ve also played volleyball and danced but now I run and cheer for Henry Clay.

                This summer, I worked my first job as a lifeguard and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE being a lifeguard. I’ve considered applying to be a lifeguard at Hilton Head along with two college kids I know who worked there last year. They lived there the entire summer with everything paid for and also got paid a lot more money than I made this summer. Although it sounds like a good experience, I don’t know if I could stay away from home an entire summer. Aside from working this summer, I went to Myrtle Beach for a week with one of my best friends who is also my cousin. It was the best vacation I’ve had in a long time! Throughout the summer, I also cheered a lot and hung out with friends and my boyfriend (omg <3).

                I can’t decide what “geeks me out” or at least I haven’t pin point exactly what that is to me yet. I know I love zombies and playing cod. If the world was to end, the best way would be with a zombie apocalypse. I’ve always wanted to kill a zombie. My zombie obsession started with The Walking Dead, which comes back on in October! Another thing I love is healthy stuff. Everything from eating healthy, to having a healthy and clear mind, and exercising to have a healthy body. One thing I hate is when someone discovers that I’m a vegetarian and they respond with, “What do you eat?” Is this a serious question? I’m sure meat isn’t the only thing you eat. I also get a lot of, “You don’t get any protein.” If you’re only getting protein from greasy cheeseburgers and fried chicken, then maybe you need to reevaluate your eating habits. There’s my little rant for the day.

 

Love this!

 

The only website I ever go to...

www.twitter.com

I am David Stevens.

            I have three older sisters, and very rarely are we all in the same hemisphere. Last summer, I took my first trip abroad to visit my sister Carolyn and my new brother-in-law Ian. They live in Turkey right now. Why, you ask? Well, if I told you, I would have to kill you. We saw Istanbul together, walking through the ancient church of Justinian as the Muslim call to prayer reverberated through the city. While touring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, Turkish vendors tried to sell me cheap trinkets and fake watches. I like history, so it was exciting to see these places where Roman emperors prayed and the Turks conquered.

            I am an Eagle Scout, which means that I have spent a lot of nights on the cold, hard ground. I think humans have an intrinsic connection with the natural world, and that gets lost today. One of the best experiences of my life was when I went to Philmont, a BSA (Boy Scouts of America) high-adventure base in New Mexico. Our crew spent two weeks backpacking through the wilderness; we covered about 70 miles in all. One day, I want to hike the Appalachian Trail.

            Music plays an integral part in my life. Until last year, I was in the band at Henry Clay; now I am an appreciator, not a performer. My favorite group at this moment is The Mountain Goats, and the rest of my iPod includes The Beatles, Ben Folds, U2, and Frank Sinatra—to name a few.

            If I added it all up, I think I would spend the most time playing golf—right behind sleeping and going to school. I started golfing when I was pint-sized. Now, I am on the HC Varsity golf team—go Devils!—and rarely a day goes by when I don’t play. I want to improve every year.

I spend a lot of time on YouTube. Some of my subscriptions are Veritasium, Vsauce (Michael Stevens), and CGPGrey. Here’s a random video from my favorite, the vlogbrothers:

I don't really have a favorite website, but there's nothing else like leekspin.

Hola

Hey I'm Kelsey Halbert, but as you all know I go by Richard. I'm from here in Lexington, but my family are all from eastern Kentucky in Floyd county. One thing about me is that I really really like cats, even though my parents wont let me have one. If I ever get on Youtube, I'll look up some cat videos. THEY'RE SO CUTE AND FLUFFY AND I JUST WANT ONE SO BADLY. On Instagram my feed is made up of cats for the most part. I am in band, I play the French horn in concert band and the mellophone in marching band. I am also in steel drum band. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, if it makes me happy I will listen to it. I currently have a job at Old Navy, and since we are currently under a management change many people are quitting so I have been finding myself working many 8 hour shifts Saturdays and Sundays. My favorite subject in school is math. I like English, I am just a terrible writer, I hope to work on that this year. The best thing that happened this summer was that I got my restricted license so I can drive alone. Once I graduate high school, I would like to go to college out of state, but I think that I'll end up going to UK for 4 years then go out of state because I'll be more mature. I honestly have no idea what career field I want to go into. I have had many ideas but I just can't decide yet.

MERMAID CAT

This post is really long. I apologize in advance.

Hi, I’m Angela Maske. I was born in Providence, Rhode Island. After moving to Boston, I lived there for most of my life before I moved again to Lexington in 2008. Even though it’s been nearly 5 years, I often still feel like I’m a bit of an outsider in Lexington and in the south (or relative south) in general. “Pop,” “sucker,” and “cuss” still sound wrong and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. I’m still slightly confused by monogramming and sweet tea, and maybe I’ll never understand these things because I’ll always be a northerner at heart. Regardless, though, I’m grateful that I am able to have a more broad perspective because of these differences.

It is also worth noting that I love to travel. So far, I have visited 5 countries (other than the US): China, Japan, England, Canada, and the Bahamas. I most enjoy immersing myself into the culture of wherever it is I visit. Since I’m half Chinese, I visit China almost every summer and I am continually surprised by what I learn or see each time. I would love to continue to explore new places, though;  Europe, Australia, and the Middle East are at the top of my list.

Honestly, there are way too many things that “geek me out.” It’s kind of bad, really. I love YouTube, music, fashion, movies...it’s endless. Because there are so many, I guess I’ll name a couple of each. YouTube is kind of self-explanatory...it has anything and everything. But here’s a video I think is just great...it’s a cappella, Disney, political, and comedy! What’s not to love? (By my standards, this is school appropriate but it's up to Mr. Logsdon's discretion).

Music...I’ll list some artists I guess: Vampire Weekend, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, Rizzle Kicks, Imagine Dragons, Macklemore, Coldplay...yeah that’s more than a couple. As for fashion, I guess I can’t really narrow that down any further, but I love browsing on Polyvore. I like to think I live by the quote by Oscar Wilde: “You can never be overdressed or overeducated,” although I’m sure that makes me seem horrifyingly pretentious. Some of my favorite movies are Inception, the Amazing Spider-Man, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Limitless...clearly it varies.

Besides all these (arguably) superficial facts, I also have a deep passion for making a difference...which sounds cheesy but frankly I don’t know how else to put it. I love knowing that something I do can impact someone else in a positive way, which is why I love volunteering and participating in my community. You only have one life, after all...why seclude yourself?

Howdy Yourself! - Haven

   Hey guys! My name's Haven Shockley, but that's the least interesting part about me. Hopefully.
   My interests have all been said in other introduction assignments; I like to draw, write stories, role-play, play video games I want to be a graphic novelist, all that jazz. Part of my goal is to have a short book sketched out by winter break, so perhaps it'll be available for a look-see. (Because school is a good place for self-promotion, right?)
   This past summer, my best friend from Florida came up to Kentucky to stay with our family for a week. We're so close to knowing each-other longer than we haven't known each-other, and we've still been in touch after all these years. In any case, my friend loved Kentucky, and we had a lovely time going downtown and staying inside building a church in Minecraft.
   Alright, so I'm about to go into the "geek-out" territory. You can turn back while you can. 
   I have two major geek-outs actually, the first one I can perhaps relate to other people is Touhou. What is Touhou? Briefly, it is a shooting type/danmaku/bullet hell game similar to Galaga, except with absurd difficulty, an almost entire female cast, beautiful bullet patterns and (in my opinion) amazing music. Before I go on a tangent I'll just say check it out on youtube, it's a difficult game but so much fun in my personal experience.
   The other thing I can talk about all day but don't is role-playing. I loved LARP'ing (Live-Action-Role-Play) as a child back in the days when it was referred to as "make believe," and I still role play with my friend. The problem with me talking about it though is that my friend and I have made our own rules and Original Characters, the same kind I'd like to write about someday. So when someone asks about it, I'm a bit hesitant to answer and then explain, and when I do I can't stop talking sort of like I can't stop now. I should though.
   Online resource time! 
   

   (it's a picture of me and two of my characters. I consider them my muses and oh god shut up before you go on a tangent again)
   And of course, if you ever need to find me I'll be on DeviantArt.com. (Of course, there's minimal chance of running into not safe for work art/literature there, so do me and yourself a favor and just visit my page instead. I like pageviews, they make me feel special. Rated PG-13 for mild language.)
   That was a mouthful. I know it's a long post, but I warned you.

Grace Goulson, nature/traveling/photography enthusiast

Hey, I’m Grace Goulson. I was born in New Mexico on a Navajo Indian Reservation. No, I am not Navajo, I was just born there. But despite me not having any Navajo blood, the fact that I was born there is still a big part of my life. I absolutely love traveling out west (back to my hometown) and prefer the southwest to boring old Kentucky (though maybe I’m just getting tired of it?). I have been to over 40 of the states and would love to visit all of them by the time I am 25. I also have a sizable list of countries I would like to visit, ranging from Iceland to Greece to Australia. I love camping, hiking, and spending time outdoors in general. This past summer I went on a 5-day, 25-mile backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon with some of my extended family. That whole experience was amazing, and even though I did the same trip 3 years ago, I got even more out of it this time. After our hike, we went up into California a little to Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks—I really, really liked California a lot and wish I could have spent more time there.

            I don’t really like the fact that people get SO obsessed with one particular thing, so I try to stay away from that. Also, I hardly ever sit down, determined to roam the Internet aimlessly, like it seems most teenagers do nowadays. However, I am slightly geeky when it comes to Harry Potter, and I really enjoy the show Friends; and I am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to matters related to those two things. I’ve also really gotten into photography this past year especially. I am always taking pictures (mostly of nature) with my beloved iPhone. I like sharing my photography on Instagram, as well as follow amazing photographers from around the world on their adventures.

            I play trumpet in the band here, and I also take private piano lessons. I love playing any sport, and I think I’m fairly well-rounded when it comes to athletic endeavors. I live on a farm and I love animals. I’m also passionate about the environment and would like to pursue a career that would give me opportunities to save the world!

Here's a picture I took of the lovely Colorado River at the bottom of the Canyon
