I did my first article on "Brazilian Obesity: The Big Girl from Ipanema"
In this article it talks about how people that live in Brazil are getting bigger and are suffering from obesity more and more. They quote, "Obesity among women had stabilized in previous studies, and now there is an expressive increase," says Deborah Malta.
Its says some 13% of Brazilian adults are obese. Even tho Brazilians are getting fatter they are eating less red meat and more fruits and vegetabels. But the are using less sunscreen and drinking more. I beleive that this is because they are partying too much haha, drinking too much will get you to gain weight. It happened to my grandpa.
The second one I did was " Colleges scan Facebook during admissions."
This article talks about how colleges look up your information on the internet to see who you truley are. I believe that its ok for them to check facebook. If you post something online you are letting anybody who wants to see it see it. Its not privte online. It can be read by anybody all over the world. I believe that it is smart that the colleges look at there facebooks and myspaces because it lets them know if this is the type of person they want coming into there college

Blog 3: Bad Grade
Hey Amanda,
I just got out of class and I got the worst grade ever. This teacher is horrible. She has no idea how to teach a class. I never get enough study time. It's like she doesn't know I have other classes to study for. She is one of those teachers who enjoys making your life ridiculously complicated. No wonder nobody has ever passed her class. I followed her guidelines to a tee, and she still found a way to bring me down. She makes us write in a way that nobody understands. I swear it's like a foreign language. I do have a job you know. I can't balance her stupid teaching tactics, my job, studying, homework, and sleep. Okay, who in thier right mind gives 1000 word blogs?! I'm going to fail the class if I can't figure out her ancient writing strategies. She's so old, Jesus was in her youth group. I'm thinking about dropping the class so I don't lower my G.P.A. At least my math teacher is really good. She's so nice and I can actually see myself learning in her class. Amanda. I take notes. Steven Collins, takes notes in her class. She's like the polar opposite of this teacher. I mean, what if my family sees that grade. I'll be like, permanently shunned. If I make it out of this class alive, I should get my freaking diploma. Because seriously, I feel like i'm on survivor. I wonder who's next to be voted off her twisted little island next. I asked everyone in my class if they understood her rules and everyone said they couldn't. The woman is insane. SHE probably couldn't pass her class. The guy next to me has everything riding on this diploma. She needs to think about some things before she marks them up on that dirty little whiteboard she has all the assignments on. I don't know dude. I just hope I get through this class. Well I gotta go study. Wish me luck.
See ya,
Steve-o
