Modes of Transportation

For my logo, I chose to write my first name in pink, because it's my favorite color. I turned the "i" into a person (me) swimming underwater since I am a swimmer. I drew water above the letter in my name and drew a fish and some sand at the bottom along with bubbles to emphasize that I am in the ocean, because even thought I love swimming in pools, I love swimming in the ocean!

The show I chose to watch was "The Office" online, which is about a paper selling company and the daily work that goes on there. It's a comedy show and there are many quirky characters...such as Michael, the boss, who thinks he is the best boss ever, but is very weird and hilarious at the same time, and Dwight, who thinks he is higher up on the office rankings than he truly is. There were 4 commercial breaks.

The first one was for the movie, "Dinner for Schmucks." The movie is rated PG-13, so the intended audience would be for people ages 13 and up. It seems like a very funny movie based on the snippets they put into the trailer, and in my opinion would attract their intended audience. The second commercial was for Sprint. They intended it for most people...mainly kids, teens and adults who either have a phone and might want to be switching to a different phone/service, or for ones who don't have a phone and are looking to buy one. In the commercial, the speaker says that everyone wants to be first, and Sprint has the first 4G network, which is faster and better than the widely used 3G.

The 3rd commercial was for The National Park Conservation Association, where they showed photos of the beautiful parks, such as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, and talked about ways to help preserve them, but you were told to go online to get those ways. It was intended for everyone, because everyone needs to help preserve nature. The final commercial was for mens Gap jeans. They showed men in all the ways jeans weren't supposed to fit, and then in the way they were. This was clearly directed to men, and men with some cash too, because they started pricing at $54.50!

According to the personality test we took in class, I have a right brain personality. I love bright, vibrant colors and I am always wearing bright colored nail polish, whether it's on my toes or on my fingernails! When I talk, I use my hands.....a lot! But I always thought that was because I'm Italian, not because I have a right brain personality. I'm absolutely awful at remembering names, but I'm generally awesome at remembering faces. Some people get offended by that, but I think it's more personable to remember a face rather than a name, because if you only remember a name and you don't know who's it is, then it's only a name. But if you remember a face, then you can make a visual connection to the person and have a conversation because you recognize them and it makes it easier to ask them again for their name.

Another thing that makes me a right brain personality is that I don't like following directions. I am fairly independent, but sometimes I do require some guidance...but who doesn't! (But even though I am not too fond about following directions I will follow them in class, of course!) The last thing I circled on the quiz was that I think following a schedule is boring...which is only partially true. I do think that doing the exact same thing every morning and every night...all day everyday isn't always a bad thing...everyone needs to have some kind of routine in their life, but it is also necessary to shake things up and live without knowing what's going to happen every moment.

Besides all of the things the quiz revealed, my personality is pretty bubbly, outgoing and honest. I am also very opinionated on many things, and others I and fairly passive. I can be impatient and selfish sometimes, but anyone who says they aren't is lying. I love to talk and meet new people! I rarely lie, and when I do it's usually to protect my mom by saying her cooking was good or something! I usually try to compliment people more than criticize them because no one likes to be criticized, but constructive criticism is important too.

One thing that most people don't know about me is that I am the only one in my entire family (intermediate and extended) that has green eyes. Everyone in my intermediate family has blue eyes, and all my extended has blue as well, except for my grandma and my cousin Logan, who both have brown eyes.

I think that most people see me as a bubbly girl who asks a lot of questions! They probably think I'm loud and not afraid to speak my mind, which I'm sure sometimes people think can be rude, but I don't like lying to people and I try to be honest nicely! Some people think I'm a "bad kid" because I love rap music and I love love love LOVE Lil Wayne, but it's only music, it's just not what they're used to. All in all, I think that most people find me fun to be around, because I don't like to be bored and always find a way to have fun!
