Over the weekend I read a very interesting poem called, "That is Not My Job". This poem is deep and you need to read it a few times to actually understand what is going on.  Its a double meaning poem where the first time you read it you have the names of "nobody", "somebody", "anybody" and "everybody".  its a story about people not doing there job and other people being annoyed with it.  the deeper meaning is when you think of the overview of the poem.  where we can not hold each other accountable because most of the time we would let others down. the poem is meaningful and deep.



 Apples to Apples is a party game originally published by Out of the Box Publishing, and now published by Mattel.  Created by Mathew Kirby in 1999 as well the artist is John Kovalic.  Apples to Apples is a party style game.  It is designed for 4-10 players and played for 30 minutes to an hour.  Highly popular for ages 12 and older. In this game there are two types of cards, Red ones and Green ones.  The Red cards are adjectives and the green cards have a Word on it. There is also a judge designated by the players. The Judge in this game picks up a green card after dealing out red cards to the players.  The judge picks a green card and places it face up in the middle.  The other players then look into their cards and decide which one best fits with the green card.  once they have chosen they put their cards down.  From there the Judge picks whichever cards he thinks best matches it.  And then the winner is determined by the Judge.

Trivial Pursuit: In this game you have to answer a series of questions in a row in order to win. During the game, players move their playing pieces around a track which is shaped like a wheel with six spokes. This track is divided into spaces of different colors, and the center of the board is a hexagonal shape. At the end of each spoke is a "category headquarters" space. When a player's counter lands on a square, the player answers a question according to the color of the square, which corresponds to one of the six categories. If the player answers the question correctly, their turn continues; if the player's piece was on one of the category headquarters spaces, they collect a wedge of the same color, which fits into their playing piece. Some spaces say "roll again," giving an extra roll of the die to the player. Any number of playing pieces may occupy the same space at the same time. A variant rule ends a player's turn on collecting a wedge, preventing a single knowledgeable player from running away with the game.

In recent years, with the explosion of technology, many high schools have brought up the BYOD question? Should students be able to "Bring Your Own Device" to school? Although my opinion may mean nothing to many schools, I am a high school student and I experience first hand the struggle of carrying around the unnecessary weight that is my books, notebooks and textbooks.  Having a device that held all that unnecessary weight would lighten the load in my back pack.  as well my organization would be ten times better without a thousand papers to carry around. all my papers would be held on my computer and organized greatly.  So in my unimportant opinion I believe students should be able to bring their own device!
