Intellectual Goals

Again school post form the mission statement only this time it is about intellectual goals. I am going to try to keep my grades from a's to b's but I plan to void the c's if possible. I would like to try to get on the honor roll for the 1st quarter. Other than those goals I would really love to pull up my grade in laird's class because I have not been doing so hot in his class. Hopefully, that goal is realistic enough to work out. Speaking of goals anyone else miffed about the paper in Physical Education class? ( yes I know I spelled it out and I did it because I felt like it ok!!)

Homecoing Newsletters

Well we're doing a newsletter project in computers. It's pretty complicated. I am in a group with Samantha Tangel, and Jessica Yeo. We are trying to step up the newsletter and designing it as best we can. So far we are doing well, I mean were coming along with it, but all of our articles aren't done. However, we should be fine after the weekend when we actually have something to write about because everything we are writing about will have happened by then. Anyone else not know what they are really doing?

saints Project

We're doing a Saints Project for class and it's pretty interesting. I choose St. Cecilia because she's the patron saint of music and I adore music. I learned a little bit more about my confirmation saint which was neat. When I found out how she died I was kind of crept out, so I'm not going to put it up on my blog, but if you want to know go ahead and search it. Unfortunately, we had to present them in front of the class, which was horrible for me because I detest speaking in front of the class. If it would have been just an informational slide show with no talking required I would have done fine. Oh well, at least I got it over with.

Emotional Goal

I am supposed to be writing about emotional goals for this year. This year my emotional goals are to try and reach a stage of calm. I'm trying to go for a fun-filled and stress-free lifestyle. I'm also planning on trying to keep my emotions in check instead of wearing them on my sleeve and having them read so plainly across my face. I definitely want to change that. I'm hoping that i can keep peace with everyone and not let my impatience or temper get to me.

Missions statement goal

For my spiritual goals this year I would like to know more about the Catholic Church, and to learn more about the saints. Even though I went to CCD class for eight years, I want to further my knowledge of the Church rules and doctrines. Accomplishing this goal will be easy since I'm in Church History class this year. However, my goal about learning more about the saints might end up being a bit more of an independent study. The independent study will tough, but I'm pretty sure that if I concentrate that I'll get through at least the saints that I've been curious about.

Getting better

It's been a week. I think I'm starting to get the hang of using the Mac programs. We've started on a Movie Clip presentation and I'm enjoying getting the freedom to pick my pictures and music. Everything about the song I picked is crazy and completely random, but it's a really cute song so I'm okay with it. I finished all I can do for now on that project. Now I'm on to the saint presentation. I picked St. Cecilia because she's my conformation saint and because I'd like to say I'm a musician. Unfortunately, my piano skills have gone down hill in the past few years, but I'm trying to get back into practicing and learning new pieces again. Anybody got any requests on what I should learn to play?

Unsure

Hey there my name is Maureen Smith and I'm a Sophomore at Notre Dame High School. I've made this blog for my computer class. I'm not really good at computers or at using anything electronic so the class is kinda difficult for me. The school recently got two new Mac Computer labs and since I grew up with Dell trying to get a program working the I want takes a lot more work than I thought it would.

i Did it!!

I'm officially done setting up the blog.
Hi everyone! :P
