Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

On Friday night, we had my dad's celebration of life for him on his birthday. We ate Jack Stack's BBQ because he loved BBQ.  Then we had cheesecake for dessert because  that was also his favorite. Then to wrap it all up, I showed the video I made for him that was like a timeline of pictures of him along with some music. Then on Saturday morning, my mom and I headed off to St. Louis for my lacrosse tournament. We won the first four pool games. The first game was 18-0, Second game was 15-0, third game 18-1, and then the forth game 19-1. The next morning we went on to the semi-finals and won 13-3. Then later on that day we headed to the championship. But sadly, we lost 8-9.  After that game, we headed back home and my mom made me drive all the way back so that was an experience. Over all it was a pretty great weekend!

What kind of background do you have with Photoshop? Have you used it before? What other types of design and editing software have you used before? Explain.

I have no background with Photoshop at all. I have never used it. But I have used apps on my iPad and iPhone with just simple edits like changing colors in the picture, making the whole picture black and white with a key object that is colored.  Otherwise, I haven't and don't really use any Photoshop.

Yes, I do agree with you. To be honest it really annoys me to see all these girls wearing clothes that make them look half undressed. I don't dress or change my style for anyone or to meet the "new fashion trend". I dress for my own comfort. All my comfy clothes make me feel comfortable in how I look and feel. In the summer I only really wear athletic shorts  and I don't really care, its all for me and my comfort.   I really agree with the "there are times to wear certain things". Out with friends, wear whatever you want. But when your at school and you are being "treated like an adult" you should follow a more sophisticated dress code where at least your body parts are covered up. The dress code is helping you prepare for reality and life.

I would really like to be a nurse when I grow up so I would probably want to take Spanish and so I am able to communicate with Hispanic patients and family members on my own.  I would want to go to the nursing program so that I can decided on what type of nurse I want to be and if I would rather work with adults, kids or babies. I would also probably need some background in algebra and human science. I would spend my class time learning so that I could have a successful future. These classes would be more towards the profession I want to go into instead of the basic education.

I agree with some of Riley's opinion. I do agree that girls should have the freedom to wear whatever they want and express their unique style. I don't think it's fair at all for girls to have to change their whole style and spend a lot of extra money on clothes they don't even like just so the boys can have a non distracting learning environment. This world doesn't revolve around the guys even though that's how a lot of people believe that, girls matter too.  I don't agree with some clothes that girls wear that obviously show way more than needed. I think that girls should mostly wear whatever they want until it gets to the point when they look like the are undressed but "have clothes on".

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

This weekend I played in my first U16 tournament out at the Lone Elm softball fields with the Canute Flames. It was nice they asked me to play for them as their pitcher. I'm not sure what place we ended up getting though. Another big highlight of the weekend was that two of my old eighth grade teachers, Ms. Fricke and Mrs. Selstad, stopped by my first game to see me pitch. I also got to drive my mom and grandma around all Sunday and also got to go shopping for new clothes while my sister was at work.
