For the past 6 months, in my AP Social Studies class, we have been forewarned of the infamous NHD...National History Day...

Here's how it works:
You chose a topic that relates to the theme of the year (Conflict and Compromise). You find out how you're gonna do it. You have the option of a historical paper, exhibit, web site, or a documentary. Cool, huh? Anyways you go to a competition and compete against your classmates. If you place in the top 4, you go to regionals. If you go to regionals and place in the top 3 you go to state, and if you place in the top 2 in state you take a beautiful trip to DC and test your skills at how well you place in National.

Here's what I did:
I chose to do the history of forensic science. (Yes, I hate history so much I do my project on science...*cough: nerd*) I called it "History Behind the Tape: Conflicts and Compromises in the Development of Forensic Science". Catchy, eh? Anyways, I did a (gasp!) documentary. Shocker, I know. I included dramatization, video overlay, voice overs, SFX, VFX, the whole nine yards. All by myself, the only assistance was my sister holding up my script. I wrote it, I filmed it, I edited it, burned it, everything. I went to the school competition.

The next day Watson (my teacher) sent me the results.

First place.

I'm going to regionals.

Luv,
((~CP~))


BTW: If you wanna see the 7 and a half minute long video shoot me an e-mail, I'll make sure you see it. :D

Today is the 3 year anniversary of my blog "J's Blog of Whatever". I have kept consistent with this domain for exactly 3 years. I know that in the pastI have messed up on my blog, but I have also done my part to make my posts easy to read as well as entertaining.
What I really like about having a blog is just having something of mine that people can read. Whether it's something funny that they laugh at or something intelligient that they can ponder for days on end, it's still J's Blog of Whatever.

This year, for my blog, I promise to post more often, post what you guys want, and post the truth. I don't think I have ever not posted the truth, but that's beside the point.

Thanks you guys, you are all great!

(By the way this is my 223rd blog post!)
