Happy Halloween!!

Well tonight is the night for Halloween! Are you going to go trick-or-treating?? I have stuff to do, so I will not be going this year. That and the fact that high-school work really don't go trick-or-treating. At least I'm normal in that respect. :-) Anyway have a fun, safe, and Happy Halloween! By the way, read the archives. They are lots of fun!

Mac Desktops

Have you ever been to Macdesktops.com ? I really like their desktop images which are available as downloads for free. I have recently experienced some problems with the service. The site has been extremely slow. I'm not sure why, though. Well, I just wanted to say that you might like the images on the system.

Sexetc.org

I recently requested an application and more information on being a national correspondent for Sexetc.org I think that I could be a positive addition to their award-winning newsletter put out by Rutgers (The State University of New Jersey). I think that it would not only be a positive experience, but I would be doing community service(by educating teens about health issues[which I have researched]). I also know that I can put it on my college appliction. I would highly suggest that you visit the site. It is very informative. Most of the writers are actually juniors and seniors in high school. If I could, I would try to get onto the Editorial Board, but I can't because I don't live within commuting distance of New Brunswick, New Jersey. They have a geological requirement because the Editorial Board meets monthly at the college to discuss the site. they website URL is http://www.sexetc.org/ I would highly recommend to any teen who has a question about sex, relationahips, or any other health question to go there.

Scholastic Update

I should not have talked about how I don't have a lot of work. Maybe I don't have a lot of homework, but I do have a lot of tests. It was almost like I cursed myself when I said that there was no work. I have two tests today, one in English, and one n Civics. With this kind of work, I probably won't be able to write anything, except for the weekends. I hope that I don't have this much work over the weekend. I want some free time. I really want to get enought free time to be able to make more posts, and think of ways to make this site even better. Of course, school is the number one priority, so if I can't update the site for scholastic reasons, please understand. Lunch is almost over, bye.

Driver's Ed

I am going to start driver's ed in a few weeks! I am so excited about driving! I can't wait to be able to drive myself to and from school. It will be so much fun! I'll keep you posted!

Highschool Peer Pressure

If you are going into highschool next year, don't be intimidated. The highschool that you see in Hollywood is very different then the highschool that is in the real world. If you are going to a public highschool, chances are that you will see a few new people but not a lot. If you are going into a public highschool however, you will see a lot of new people. Hollywood really doesn't touch on the peer pressure though. I have not had a problem with peer pressure, although I know people who have. There is one kid who is in my English class, who does drugs. Luckily I did not go to middle school with him, although if he did go to Brownell, he probably would not smoke, because we have a great health teacher there. Another example of peer pressure getting to people would be the Homecoming incident. Someone actually got drunk and had to be taken away in an AMBULANCE!!!!! The girl also did not go to Brownell. I am very disappointed at this behavior, and I hope that it will come to an end soon.

Update on the workload of highschool

Obviously if you are reading a lot of new posts, then the workload must be low. I am so surprised at the workload. I am able to so lots of stuff with the time that it took me to do homework. When a good friend of the family told me that there would be an insane amount of work, I was a little intimidated by the thought. I think that I am lucky because so far I have not had more then thirty minutes of homework. I really enjoy highschool.

Happy Friday!!

Hey everybody, it's Friday!!!! You all know what that means!!! (That space was for you to answer.) In case you don't know it means TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures

I got those pictures from the Help section of the blogger site. It was relitively easy to get the pictures on the site. All I had to do s copy and paste. I think that the pictures are pretty funny. I'm sure that you can copy and paste them, but if you do, then you accept full responsibility and liability for the pictures. I don't think that they are copyrighted, but I'm not sure, so I would recommend that you use caution. Happy Reading!

Cool Blogger Photos and cartoons

I found these photos of blogger in the help section.

Update on Feedburner RSS feed

Hey. I am happy to say that I have fixed the problem with the Feedburner RSS feed, and I think that I am going to be doing more posting, just to get the new posts on there, so that you readers don't have to see the 8 letters that were there earlier. I encourage you to visit my feed here. In case you can't hyperlink to the feed, here is the url to type into your browser. I would recommend that you first try to link to it, because it's a lot easier. FEEDBURNER FEED URL: feeds.feedburner.com/BillsOnlineJournal/ Enjoy the feed. If you visit here please visit there, because I can check how many hits(a hit is when someone loads your website) I get there, and I cannot do that here at Blogger. I have put my website on Google and Yahoo! search engines, although nobody is going to search for "Bill's Online Journal". I thought that maybe someone might search for something different, and it bring my site up in the search resluts. Knowing the accuracy of the search engines, you could type up the word "online" and come up with my site. I'm sure it is somewhere in the 952 million search results that I got just now. LOL! :) Happy Reading!

Podcasting

Well, I think that I've given up on Podcasting. I just can't understand it. I feel like I'm getting old here. O used to be so good at the new trends and able to figure them out fast, but I can't seem to figure out Podcasting. They should write a book "Podcasting for Dummies". I would buy it. I just can't understand what all of these requirements are. For example: podcast hosting via server VS podcast hosting via application, and whatnot. I would highly suggest that you do not try Podcasting until there are some real standards for how to do things.

The workload of High School

High school has a HUGE workload!!!! It has been so big that I have not really had time to write here, and update this blog. I am going to try to get more posts online on the weekends when I have excess free time. For now, I am posting some small posts that I am actually writing here. Usually, I type the posts on my computer and then put them online at a later date, but now I am composing them right now. My workload is really testing my self-motivation, but my motivation seems to be winning right now. Have a great day, and Happy Reading

Marketing Essay

There is this very important marketing essay that we had to do on Wednesday. I have not had time to update this blog, because I am doing so much school work, so all my free time is now on the weekends. I have not missed one assignment though, so it has all payed off. This year, I have vowed to selfmotivate, and I think that it has really shown. I love high school, and will try to update this blog whenever possible. Happy Reading!

RSS FEED UPDATE

Well, I have some news about my RSS feed. It turns out that by the time my feed gets updated to feedburner, there is only one word in each post! That is because it shortens the already shortened RSS feed. I am going to work to fix this problem, and will be ready sometime soon.
