so i just did the awareness test. its this 2 minute video that tests your awareness in the situation. there were 2 teams, black and white. and you had to see how many passes the white team made. I saw 13 passes and indeed there were 13 passes. but one thing i did not see was the moonwalking bear. i can't believe i didn't see it! but now everytime i watch the video, i see it! soooooooo weird. you should try it yourself! have fun!

assignments i missed. school bus ads.
so since i wasn't here for the past 4 days. I'm catching up on all my assignments. The first one i missed was the school bus ads. To start, here are my three points AGAINST ads on school buses.
1. school buses are seen by everybody...including the children riding them. what if there was an ad for tobacco or something else dangerous? the kids would see the ad and then want to use the product which adults strongly disapprove of.
2. some ads send out bad messages and people would see the school board in the wrong light and give the board a bad rep for forcing unnecessary advertisement. And other groups that fund the school may leave the school even more in debt because the way the school is portraying itself to the public eye.
3. Finally, A school bus is a school bus. it should be left as it was originally. like that lady in the video said, it's a happy symbol, learning, kids etc. and if companies plaster their ads all over it, the school bus is a moving billboard and not the happy symbol which so many people can relate to. it will just be another commercialized item in society.
So after all that...here are three points FOR advertisement on school buses.
1. Schools need the extra money, so putting ads on the buses seems like easiset way to do so. it doesn't hurt anybody, and it doesn't change the way of life for the kids attending the school.
2. There are so many school buses on the road that almost everyone in the town will see the ads and many will relate to the product or service being advertised, therefore buying it and giving the school money without even knowing it.
3. Finally, the school is a place of learning and without funding, the school could not operate, leaving many children uneducated and unable to go to the job world, so the extra funding really helps every child's future and giving them a life that they would not have if there was no school operating.
overall, although i did put 3 points against and 3 points for. i don't really agree with any side. i don't like how they put ads where little kids can see, but the school needs money. Really,what can you do?

today universal...tomorrow the beach!
so yesterday it rained...and it was cool. so we went shopping at an outlet mall near where we are staying. i did pretty good. i got a juicy couture sweater on sale for my birthday, which is in a month. but whatever. today we went to universal studios. it was really fun. the hulk was pretty good. it sorta was cool today too with the wind. but everything i've said has been doom and gloom. cold, windy, rain. we've only really had 2 days with sun and heat. don't worry. i've already gotten a burn. tomorrow is supposed to be good, which is good because we are going to a beach somewhere near tampa. talking about tampa...we went to watch the tampa washington game on saturday. of course, washington won 3-1. it was pretty good. actually, my whole time here has been pretty good. too bad its coming to an end. i leave wednesday, probably back to school thursday afternoon.
