Guest

Today we had a guest who talked about chiro (he was a chiropractor), he talked about the way our backs can be damaged. He also taught us breathing exercises and how to slow and calm ourselves. He also said that chiro is not just the back, its also about the head. He said the most common treatment he made was just simply popping peoples backs into posotion.I find these guest visits useful as they tell us the different treatments available to different sicknesses and injuries.

In the first 2 periods we were taught how to use Google SketchUp, a program designed to let you draw 3D Diagrams and pictures. I find it especially useful as if is also freeware. There are many tutorials for this program. You may find it at http://www.sketchup.com/. The program allows you to add pictures from Google Earth.

We then had a survey for half of period 3. The survey was about how we feel at school. Everyone had to do it. Now the rest of the classes in Xplore are doing the survey, so he have plenty of computers at our disposal (for half of period of 3). It also feels eerily quiet.

Andy ran out of credit for internet. He is using that as a excuse to NOT log on. He has -21 cents credit.
