shattered glass

Overall, I liked this movie for the most part. At some parts i was a little confused at some parts but in the end it ended up making sense. it kind of made me irritated that Stephen Glass' career was a complete lie to everyone he worked and wrote for and that when he was caught for lying, he was first put on a two year probation. It makes me wonder what was going on in his head as he was writing those articles that were all lies. Everyone seemed to like him and wanted him to stay even though he was very untruthful. I am glad that he got fired for lying to so many people. It makes me feel bad for the teacher who taught him in his journalism class.


I enjoyed this class. What i liked best is that we wrote different types of stories and got to pick what we wrote about. I think we should have learned more about the process of getting a stories published and what schools and what to major in if someone feels like getting into the journalism field. I also think that we should learn something about photo journalism and the aspects of that.

this year as the economy gets worse and worse, so does Eastview high school's parking prices for a semester long-piece-of-shiny-paper-pass. for the kids who have to scrape up what left over money they had from working in the summer to pay for it last year can be easily found taking a trek across the wet, awful smelling fields from the loser lot to the front doors of Eastview High School. Personally, last years dollar amount was absolutely ridiculous and now this year i am spending my senior year walking to and from the well known "Loser Lot" four times a day (my career development class just happily fits between getting to school and leaving for the day) instead of walking to and from school on pavement.

now this 2010-2011 school year the regular parking lots are looking less like a car dealership and more like a vacant lot with a car seemingly few and far between and the "Loser Lot" looking more like there is an overflow of people visiting the Apple Valley Water-park. For real, in my opinion, spending hundreds of dollars just to park your car and then leave it while you are sitting inside a building for eight hours a day is kind of a waste of money. Even though that money would help the school with budgeting and finances, there is, and was no possible way that a poor high school student like me was going to pay for a parking pass. What is making them so expensive? Could that dark grey-blue gravel us students park on be mistakenly mistook this year as some new kind of gold so that raises the prices? I do not want to know.

The high priced parking passes have not kept everyone from making a very spendey, and in my mind a very unrealistic decision though (unless your father is Bill Gates).
