Here's a list of 10 Things To Do On A Snow Day, which was inspired by the winter storm that gave me a snow day today. 1. Blog - Yeah, its what I'm doing right now.

Some kids are delaying getting into blogging because they have school. And some kids are just disregarding school, and focusing on blogging, which is horrible for your future, because what if being a pro blogger doesn't word out? You are pretty much screwed. Therefore, I am going to tell you how to balance blogging with school, so you can have "The Best of Both Worlds". I really hope ...
Wow, yesterday was just a really cool day for me. I finally got to experience what blogging is really all about. I've read these books, blogs, and posts, saying that the best thing about blogging is the talking and interacting with people, but had never really experienced it first hand, besides a couple of comments.

Well, here's why: You get into college based off your grades, not how much you learned. Yup, that's it. If the real world didn't put so much pressure on us ...
"Columbus discovered America in 1492." What? Then how were there people already there? This doesn't even make sense to a 5 year old. Now, if you want to discuss "discovery" in terms of a civilized world, fine. Tell me how Greek, Hebrew, Asian, and Roman artifacts have been found in the Americas? Or, maybe you could tell me what the Egyptian statues of Isis ...
