Pebble Cars - Product Creation for Economics

Energy efficiency and road safety are major concerns and areas of focus for auto industries around the world as well as the consumers purchasing these products. A new addition of Pebble cars to society to address such concerns; Pebble cars, a new plastic exterior vehicle with an electric motor and bubble shape, have been created to ensure maximum energy conservation and safety, as well as, minimal pollution and accidents. The round, bubble shape holds two layers: the exterior being made of a durable and rebounding plastic, while the interior is able to protect and be comforting to the passengers. Both plastics handle temperature, weather and collision well; in fact, if hit by an object, the outer plastic will bounce safely and with the roller coaster-type seat belts and locked storage units, even if the vehicle were to flip, no exterior damage would be done to the person's, belongings or car itself. Being of reasonable price, Pebble cars bring a near future of lesser deaths and p...

This morning I woke up and made a nice fruit and bagel breakfast before enjoying a good cup of coffee while watching some tv shows with my mom. The day was average, I had my Media Class, English, and Economics. The biggest part of my day today was going out for dinner with Heather at Fujiyama and telling her I have finally decided which college I will be attending: American University! <3 It was great to finally tell her and it be more official. I'm sad that I won't be able to go to Knoxville and do all the things I've been planning for the past 5 months, but I know I made the best decision.

Well this morning, friends, Heather picked me up and we went to Austin Peay to get ready. I had some errands to run so we did that before meeting up with Brittany at the library. At 11:15, I went to my Media class where we turned in our essay's and talked about our journals (for the first time, I went up in front of the class and presented.) At 12:10, I was supposed to go to the Foy to do Upper Body Burn with Heather, but I was wearing my work clothes and wasn't up for the hassle afterwards. So in stead, I got ready for work, waited for Heather to come out of class, and then went to Starbucks to get some coffee, Soy Latte. At 2:15, my mom picked me up to bring me to work at Opry Mills.

Wet Mornings, Chirpping Birds

Friends(: This morning my first thought, repeatedly was "no no no no no no no NO no NO". I was so freaking tired. But I had to get up and get ready so that was okay. First thing this morning, Heather and I did was go to the gym and we literally cycled for 65 minutes. I began listening to music and then watching a Netflix episode. After our workout, we had a few errands to run (Marks and Library) before I went to my very strange, very awkward Media class. When it was over, I went to the library to find Heather and David working on stuff so I did the same until English while I ate lunch. In class we watched Young Frankenstein  and oh man was that a treat. Ha. Then, Heather and I worked on Stats homework for literally 3 hours and only got 15 questions done... It was depressing. Brittany, Heather and I then had to rush our workout to ensure we were done by 8 so my mom could pick me up. (:

Hello fellow friends! This morning, I was supposed to have my french lesson; but instead, my mom, Darcy, and I ended up falling asleep until 8:30... So, my mom and I woke up, got ready, and went on a Starbucks date to chit chat for a little bit. (: After she dropped me off at school, I went to the library to work on some homework and scholarship essays; I was supposed to have English at 1:45 but that got canceled so all I had was Economics, where we had a test. Unfortunately, I got an intense migraine right before class so immediately after taking the test, Heather brought me home so I could sleep for a bit. When I woke up, it was dinner time so my Mom and I caught up on a few episodes of The Walking Dead .

Hello sweet friends. This morning I woke up at 6 am, made my lunch and breakfast, and Heather picked me up around 7:20. Stopping by her house to grab some clothes, we then went to the gym for a workout which definitely exhausted me. Directly afterwards, we stopped by Marks quickly and then went to the UC to eat some lunch. Meeting in the library with Brittany, we all sat and talked until 1:45, English. In class we watched a 1994 movie, Frankenstein  and then in Economics we took simple notes. Since we got out a little early, Heather dropped me off at home and I went to my room, watching some YouTube videos before taking a quick nap because I was just so exhausted. Regardless, I ended up waking up around 7, ate dinner with my mom and we watched some recorded episodes of Downton Abbey :)

How Efficient is Energy Efficiency?

The booming topic of today’s time, that has been repeatedly brought up and torn down, would be the discussion of the environment. Whether or not one believes global warming is true, the issues orbiting this subject involve energy efficiency and how the human race can prevent any more harm to the earth than we already have committed. Arik Levinson, guest speaker on Freakonomics Radio , is an environmental economist currently involved in writing an analysis on energy efficiency after working as a member of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Barack Obama. Levinson argues that while the focal point of the council surrounded energy efficiency, “We’re enacting a bunch of policies, patting ourselves on the back for achieving our climate goals, while the Earth continues to warm and carbon emission continue to increase” (Levinson). The problem with environmental issues branching into economic advisor’s hands is that the concept of making energy efficient products for chea...

Hello friends; Sorry for the strange blogging habits I've had the past couple of days... It's been super frantic and hectic trying to prepare for Science Olympiad and still completing school stuff. Anyway, this morning I had to actually compile some science olympiad material before my mom drove me to school at 10 am. I went to the library, printed my Media Journal before actual class. We ended up having interesting discussion and watching a video before being given our essay assignment which will be due when we return from Spring Break (I think?). APSU has their spring break next week while CMCSS has it in two weeks; meaning Middle College students don't get a spring break this year. Oh well. I ended up meeting with Brittany and Heather for lunch in Einseins and we all just sat and talked until English at 1:45. In class, we peer edited our Frankenstein novel essay's and were dismissed. In Econ, we took notes and watched a video. After class, Heather and I met ...
