Technology

Like most American teenagers, technology is a big part of my life. At school we use computers a lot, especially in this class. We use them to make movies, write blogs, do research, ect. I use technology a lot at home as well. I have an ipod nano and share computers and televisions with my family and use all of them on an almost daily basis. I listen to music, watch my favorite shows, talk to friends... I'm fairly dependent on technology for entertainment. I feel that the modern technological innovation that belongs in the same category as fire and electricity would be the ipod.
Over the three day weekend (we got Monday off for Martin Luther King day) I discovered Lost. Its a show about people who get stranded on an island when their plane crashes, and I love it. Lost quickly took over my life and became my latest obsession. I'm hoping to catch up but I'm only on the second season (I think the show is on season five), and I don't know where I can get my hands on the third season.
Two days ago, we got a new president. I've supported Obama since the very beginning and am very excited the he is now in office. They screwed up our schedule that day at school so that we could stay in class and watch his speech. Obama's election was a great step forward for our country, and fit wonderfully right after MLK day. I'm really excited about the changes that should be coming in our country's near future.
Other than that my life has been fairly normal. I go to school, do homework, hang out with friends, do homework, go to church, do homework, play with my dog, and do homework. I'm reading Harry Potter to my grandmother, Kathy and we're a third of the way through the seventh book. I'm pretty sure she knows who Ron is now, so we're making progress!
