It's pretty amazing that society has developed to the point that one person has the ability to share with the world all of their experiences, yet in my case I could care less. Before the point at which I'm now typing this out, my only use of social networking sites has been to organize and find parties friends are throwing and find out who is dating what. So naturally this is a whole new experience for me, yet unlike every other time I tried something new, instead of a feeling of wonder and amazement, I can't help but hope I don't end up addicted to writing these. So with that out of the way, hello fellow reader(s) and welcome to my first blog. My friends call me Nick and in some circles napalm. At the moment I'm 16 and a Junior at Carbondale Community High School. I spend my free time with friends, family, and playing video games. I used to be involved in French Club and the Video Gaming Club, but I'm not really into sports. Recently I've gotten into Crossfit, and I would encourage you to join as well, its a good work out and quite a challenge too. That pretty sums me up.
Now to put it bluntly this blog was mainly created because our English class was assigned to do so. I assume that there will be a good amount of book reports and English guff in here. What we're currently involved in is the Read for a Lifetime program, which picks out a bunch of good books so people can get hooked on reading, yet as I've already been hooked on reading and then it was forced out of my system by a good many book reports, I just regard it as more work. The first book I chose was
Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages. From my brief look it at, WWII and the Manhattan Project were pretty relevant.
In the future I would like to see some creative blog topics. Now at the moment I don't have any concrete ideas, but the goal of the blog should be to both engage us as students and introduce us to the blogging world. Perhaps later on in the year we could open an online discussion between students on certain books and what they liked or disliked about them.
