     Winter Break was a total of two weeks long. During the beginning of break I was sick and wasn't able to do much. I was sick with a virus. For Christmas Eve I went over my cousin's house and we opened their gifts at Midnight. On Christmas Day, I opened presents and went to my aunt's house. After Christmas, practice started again so a lot of the days over break, I had practice to go to.
         For New Years Eve all of my family came over my house. After that all I did was go to practice and hang out with friends. I also went to Hoboken to celebrate my friend's birthday. We went to dinner and drove there. Overall it was a relaxing break, although it went by really fast. Hopefully the rest of the year goes by fast.

Things that make me want to make this world a better place is when I see people sad or suffering. Some people do not deserve to be in the situations that they are in. In some way I want to make people happy, or forget about any tough times they are going through. Doing this will help myself and others feel better about themselves.

     My favorite restaurant is Sofia's Mediterranean Grill in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. The food that this restaurant serves is Greek food. My favorite dishes from Sofia's is the Chicken and Greek Salad. Sofia's in Heights is the only restaurant of its kind in the world. It is not a chain restaurant. Click here for their main website!
 This is my favorite restaurant because it is close to my house, they have good food, and the people are always nice there. If this restaurant closed down, I would go to any other Greek restaurant in the area. Other Greek restaurants that are close to us are "Its Geek to Me", "Stamna Greek Tavern" and "A Taste of Greece". 
      The atmosphere of Sofia's is very comfortable and unique. You can either sit inside or outside. The restaurant is small but it does fit a lot of people. You can order your food in the restaurant, order it to go, or just call and pick it up.  This is the best restaurant I have ever been to. If you never tried it, I definitely recommend it. Click here for Sofia's menu!

Discussion Questions 12/10

1. I selected the sites that I subscribe to because now I will know what is going on in my town, county, and country. I will also know scores and updates about my favorite sports teams.

2. It was easy to find rss feeds because all I did was search the topic I wanted to subscribe to, and put RSS after it.

3. My favorite sites were the dallas cowboys rss because they are my favorite football team.

4. You can also use RSS feeds for school purposes. Your teacher can post information about homework and tests and you can get their RSS feeds.

5. I might continue using RSS feeds because they are an easy way to get all the information that you need in one place.

     If I were a teacher I would initiate a dance class. It would be a class that students would actually  enjoy. They can get exercise all while having fun. This class can also be an opportunity to meet new people that go to their school.  This class would meet once to twice a week in after school. It is important to have practice a lot because dances can be hard to learn. We can build a dance studio in the school that has a wood floor and a huge mirror.
        The class would have a welcoming atmosphere, and it will have a sound system that allows the dancers to dance to the music. At the end of the year when the class has learned and perfected the dance, we can compete in an actual dance competition. It will show everyone what the students have learned all year. I think that this class will teach students responsibility and self-confidence.
