Senior Trip
It was the week every high school student looked forward to ever since they were a freshman; it was a week of paradise with no homework, papers, or tasteless school food. A week filled with adventure, sunshine, and babes in bikinis. For one week the only thing you had to worry about was not looking stupid in front of your classmates; but with a class like ours it would be stupid not to do something embarrassing. That is the week that I and six other seniors left our image on the class of 2012.
The first stop on senior trip was the beach. It was the perfect first stop because we had been cooped up in the bus for 30 hours. The sun was shinning and we were ready to explore our summer playground. The morning seemed as though it was going to be a normal day; that is until my friend Stephen Hyer had an idea. He wouldn’t tell us where or what we were doing; he only said it was going to be awesome. We all ran into a hotel bathroom and then he told us his plan to make duct tape Speedos. He had brought regular underwear for us to put tape on. Then he put out the tape. There was red, blue, green, zebra print, and others. In the midst of us helping each other create our bathing suits, a little kid came in and went to the bathroom. I assume that he had seen far worse because he stared for a second and then did his business and left like nothing ever happened. The thirty year old man however walked in, stared at us, we froze, then he left very quickly. Stephen felt obligated to yell after him, “Wait, we can make room!” So the bathing suits were finished; now we just had to go show them off. I can honestly say that I have never had more attention, and been more humiliated in my whole life. As we ran by our classmates, they whistled and cheer for us. We took hundreds of pictures with everyone we knew and people we had never met. When the teachers saw what we had done, they just shook their heads but did not stop our ridiculous adventure. Seeing as how kids the year before

    That stalls us for half an hour, and then we leave. The bus gets half way back home, and the chaperones realize something. They forgot one of the teachers and the group he was watching that day, so we drive back and call the teacher, turns out they somehow got a ride home right after we noticed them missing. The bus didn’t get home until around 10:00 that night. My mom was about to unleash on the teachers and deans for getting back so late. We were supposed to be back at 7:30 pm, she was there for two and a half hours waiting for us to get back, but then they explained what happened, and that didn’t help much. She just told me to get into the car and go home. I get a call right after I get home from Mike saying he took Schroeder’s wallet, and I was just like “Leave the kid alone, man, he already had a rough day”. That was the understatement of the year, he had the worst day of his life, but he wasn’t mad at us at all. Even after we told him about the Superman seat, he just blew it off and was in a good mood. He is the most resilient kid I ever met; he takes so much from those guys, but he still likes to hang out with them. I got to show some respect for…

    My mom and I sat in silence as I reminisced about my experience. The day had started with me needing to finish one of my numerous yearbook assignments. The usual assignment was going to the football game to take pictures, but this weekend I had to visit the local museum to finish my page. This page needed historical pictures from one of my town’s popular events, the square-dancing revue. Square-dancing has been in Lamar for close to one hundred years and my yearbook page was focusing on the history of it. Most to all of these historical pictures belonged to the museum. I was prepared to be bored out of my mind while taking the pictures, but I wanted an A in the class, so I willed myself to go. I walked up to the building, put on my most believable fake smile, and told myself just to get the job done already. I pulled open the extremely heavy door and quietly snuck up the stairs to the main floor. At this point I was prepared for an overly peppy woman to pop out from nowhere and bombard me with multiple questions about why I was there, instead I found two women reading 1950’s newspapers while drinking coffee. Once they noticed my presence I told them the basics of…

    At that moment I felt so embarrassed, the most I felt in my entire life. I quickly pulled my pants back up all red from embarrassment. Old pimply Ackley stood by me giggling and old Ernest laughing until he fell down onto the floor and his stomach filled with pain. Luckily for me there wasn’t a lot of people at the park that day. There were only two girls who were laying on the grass and they didn’t seem to notice me. Everyone else that day were all at some football game and only old Ackley, Ernest, me, and some other people who never go to football games or spend our time studying were left behind. Old Ernest was never at any football games since no one like him there so they would sit far away from him as possible. I once asked him why and he said that football was a boring sport and all the players were losers. Still beside me was old Ernest laughing like it was the funniest thing he ever seen in his entire life. I was so sick of him laughing at me that I wanted to punch him right in the face, but I decided not to since he’s like twice my size and it wouldn’t end very well for me. From then on every time old Ernest would see me, he would remind me of the day he pulled my pants down and I would always…

    It was a typical late summer day in my life; the all work no play world of Tanner Simons. Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration but seriously while other kids are swimming, playing in summer basketball leagues or hanging out. I am held captive forty-five miles from the nearest town. I get to spend my summers helping out on the family ranch. We have a lot of creek bottoms that require crossings. Over the years equipment has grown in size. On this particular day Dad decided we needed to replace some culverts with bigger ones. This will cut off a lot of miles and hill climbing with the stack mover. I am the youngest of six kids and was eager to prove what I could do. There were two crossings to dig out. I would start with the one by the corrals down below, about 2 miles south of our house. I drove the excavator down and began playing in the dirt. Did I mention that it was a hot afternoon and just the drive down was miserable? I moved on down the creek about another mile and a half and dove right in digging out the other old crossing. My brother came down to get me on the motorcycle and we headed back up to the house. I was feeling quite proud of myself and my accomplishments of the day. I was relaxing on the computer enjoying the air conditioning when my Dad and sister came in too. They had been moving cows and had went down below to put in the new culverts. Dad wanted to know why in the heck it took me all afternoon to dig out one culvert. I told him I got them both dug out and he said not to kid him, he was hot and tired! A heated argument happened before we finally figured out that I had dug out the wrong crossing! It is funny now but having to go back down and dig a third culvert that same afternoon was not funny at…

    To start off the day I had to go clean up at the fairgrounds. When people show an animal in the fair that is also sold everyone has to get up super early to “do your duty”. The only reason the kids have to do this is so they can get their check. It's usually not so bad but this time it was different. The rain seemed to be never ending. The pavilion was crammed with all kinds of people trying to stay dry. Unlike everyone else i was one of the few who decided to help so i could get my check and go on my way. My job was to carry these grey metal chairs out of this soping wet trailer. Now on any other day i would have loved to “play” in the rain, but i was wearing athletic shorts, boots, and an old t-shirt, and it was windy. When i finally sat down and decided i was done and it was one of the…

    “Daniel don’t say anything to any because your mom will be very worried and you have to move this Friday.” Said Grandpa. “I don’t want to move to America, I will lose all my friends and I will miss you.” I repaid. Grandpa answered and said “Think about it this way if you move now and grow up and have a good job you can come and visit any time, and every summer you can come and visit for a few weeks. You will make new friends and I will make sure your dad signs you up for the soccer team.” “Ok Grandpa” I said. Three days later “Wake up Danny wake up, we are going to leave in an hour.” Mom screamed from down stairs. I got dressed and brought all my boxes down stairs and put them in the enormous container. When we all got dressed and put our boxes in the containers my family was very eager to leave but I was not I was going to lose so much but it was for the better. Then we on our way to the Airport. When arrived we saw a guy with a knife and he had a mental disorder. I felt bad when the cop shot him with a teaser. Then we got on the airplane they said it was going to take 12 hours on the plane.

    Any student would find that scenario a particularly bizarre and uncomfortable one, but I was well acquainted with almost everything tonight would entail (that is, excluding the vehicle). Rather than a vehicle, the location was a vacant community college classroom containing only furniture, a whiteboard, and ten adult “students” seated in the first few rows, pencils in hand and notebooks resting on the tables before them. Despite being the youngest person in the room, I was an assistant teacher at the mere age of 16, and I took my authoritative position seriously.…

    There was a Tuesday when Bob was coming to my house after school; he said it would be a good idea to take some of the paint brushes home and play with them. I went through with his plan, but I was unsure how it would turn out. At the end of class, as all of the other students careened across the room to be the first in line, my friend and I snuck the brushes in our pockets. We made it out of the art room, but were…

    This is a trip report for the Web Science Conference 2009 (WebSci'09) that took place from the 18th to the 20th of March 2009, in Athens, Greece. Location: The Conference was held at the “Hellenic Cosmos” complex of the Foundation of the Hellenic World. Hellenic Cosmos was indeed very suitable for such an event. The place was technologically equipped, the location was easily accessible for me, both by public transportation and by car, with adequate parking space. Although I stayed in Piraeus, I can assume that the transportation to/from the Conference was equally easy for all the participants. Organization: Concerning the organization and the advertisement of WebSci'09, I have to say that everything was well planed and the conference was quite publicized. However, and this was not an objection of me alone, most of the publicity was due to the unusually large number of members of the Greek Parliament that talked during the Conference. Workshops, Talks, Posters: I attended the Web Science Curriculum Workshop and just the first hour of the UIWoSC Workshop due to my jet lag. I understand that the two workshops were planned to have only a few participants, however they were very interesting and illustrative of the struggle to determine the boundaries of an emerging scientific area. To say my opinion, I cannot see web science independent of computer science, and I think the most plausible direction is the one of information science, as it is called in the U.S. I attended several talks and enjoyed most of them, although the topics of some sessions diverged too much from my idea of what web science should/will be, e.g. the “Cultural Convergence and Digital Technology” session. I had the chance to talk to a few people about my research and get some interesting ideas on more applied directions; I was a bit disappointed though, that two of the three other speakers in my session did not show up. Finally, a few thoughts about the Poster Session.…

    On 19th of March 2014, my tutor, classmate and I went to a Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. I was very exciting before the trip. Since I don’t have transport to go to the temple, I went to the classroom that we used to go during our class time and gathered with my tutor to ask her to fetch me to the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. When I reached the classroom, our tutor, Dr Lili Zhang was talking to a male tutor about some trip to Japan and how the people there treat foreigner. So at around 12.55pm, we departed from our university to the temple. Since most of the students in our class have their own transport, there were only three students including me in the car. In the car, my tutor asked me about the lost planes of Malaysia and she briefly explained what we will go in the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. It took 5 to 10 minutes to reach the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. When we reached the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple, we saw many cars had parked at the car park of the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple and our first thought is most of the cars are the car of our classmates. This is because usually there is no much people will go to the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. Once we had parked the car, we were gathered at the front door of the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple to wait all of our classmates who wanted to come. That day was like 8degree Celsius and I was so freezing that day. While we were waiting for our classmates, our tutor talked about the design of the temple. What exterior materials that they used for the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple and the color of the building. She also explained why they used those materials to build the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. She said all of the material was brought from China, all the dragon on the rooftop, the two big dragons placed at the front door, all the statues, and some little stuff. Once all of our classmates were there, our tutor asked us to follow her to walk around the Vietnamese Buddhism Temple. We were led by…
