Little Penguin

Ah! I heard the excited screams of thousands of people. We all had one thing in common. We were waiting for my favorite artist to strut onto the stage wearing a pair of silver, glittery shoes with her short blonde hair and white sunglasses. Can you guess who we were about to see? Yes! We were at Soldier Field about to see Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour. On July 18th it was a sweltering 96° F with a dramatic heat index making it feel as if it was over 107° F. It had been raining on and…

In the article, Appetite, Laurie Lee explained how humans take things for granted sometimes and she suggested that they need to get away from those things sometimes. She listed examples of things different than food such as people that we surround ourselves with and how we needed to get away from them too sometimes because that could lead to them getting too attached or they could get tired of each other. In the article she says, “So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures…

not very stable so he lined himself up with it and backed up. He charged shoulder first into the wall and it crashed down with a bang. Brandon really hoped the woman wasn’t home because if she was she definitely heard that. He looked around for a little when found a room with an unlocked door. It was a small, windowless room with a lit candle on the wall. Everything seemed ancient and there was dust everywhere, except for a small leather book on the desk across from Brandon. He grabbed the book…

ago. It all happened when a parent came up to me at the school I work at and asked me to be a buddy at a program called Buddy Break. I asked, what is involved, she told me that it involved me having an open mind, warm heart and a little bit of training. With a little bit of convincing I was on board and ready to embark on a new adventure that changed my life. During my first day at Buddy Break, my eyes were opened to a new program called Nathaniel’s Hope, Buddy Break, and I was able to take a…

I was nervous before the interview and I think it’s the reason the opening to my interview had a little bit of a rough start. I didn’t notice it at first until later in the interview, but after introducing each other and getting some of her contact information I jumped straight into the interview questions. Even though I had explained what the interview…

cubbies that hang on the walls in the cat's rooms and want so know if they could get the dimensions and some pictures. I reached out to Butch who provided me with the dimension and I sent some picture I have on file. • While it has slowed down a little bit, I am still receiving quite a few emails from folks who were having a difficult time finding their online memorials posted for the September blessing. I find the tool to be a bit tricky and have been able to help several people after playing…

Explain some cases in which you would perm-ban/temp-ban people: Advertising -- This is when someone decides to place their ip to a server of some sort, This is for sure resulting in a horrible PERM-BAN. Although being a helper means i cannot ban him / her means i would have to screen shot it and send it to a higher staff member such as mods or higher. a Helper would have to simply mute him/her. Mute Evasion -- When someone would be muted and logs onto an alt account so you could talk, that…

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…

instructions. His verbal stance wasn’t all that great, he sounded a little like a robot for most of the speech. He could really improve on his non-verbal stance too, because he doesn’t really seem to engage with the audience or move around much. He seemed to be organized at least with the speech though; he has just a little struggle reciting everything back to his audience. The speech seemed to be a longer speech and felt like it was becoming a little boring at times. He sited his work and had…

Arielle and Courtney did most of the work when it came to the survey and recommendation report. But Victoria was somewhat helpful, because she made an effort to provide a few suggestions and state her opinions. As, I stated before my contribution was little to none when it came to the survey and recommendation report, but everything else I just did my…
