JQ 10/31 Happy Halloween. What is your first memory of Halloween? How old were you? What was your costume? What did you do ? Compare that to this year's Halloween festivities.
My first memory of Halloween was when I dressed up as a bunny and my brother dressed up as a dinosaur when I was around 4 years old. We went trick-or-treating with my family. This year, I'm an 80's rocker chick and I'm going to my friend's house after work.

Hurricane Sandy
JQ 10/29 It has been one year since Super Storm Sandy. What do you remember about the storm? What did you do while we were not in school? How long were you without power? etc
During the storm, everyone lost power and there were trees everywhere outside. It was dark, cold, and there was nowhere to go because there were trees in the road and gas was scarce. I only lost power for 24 hours but some of my friends lost power for 1 or 2 weeks. Although I had power, I still couldn't go anywhere for the 10 days we were out of school so I baked cookies and pumpkin bread and read a lot. A few of my friends came over to shower and watch TV since they were still without power for so long.

McDonalds
JQ 10/28. Breaking news McDonalds will no longer use Heinz ketchup. Is this a problem? Why are they no longer using Heinz ?
McDonalds is no longer using Heinz Ketchup because the former CEO of Burger King is now the CEO of Heinz. Some people might have a problem with it but I don't think that it will make a huge difference. It won't affect me because I don't eat McDonalds and I don't have a preference for a brand of ketchup anyway.

Safe Halloween
JQ 10/ 25 Safe Halloween is today at WEST. Are you participating in it today? , if so what club are you working with and what are you doing? Please also share if you participated in Safe Halloween as a child and what it meant to you then and now.
I participate in Safe Halloween every year with all the clubs I'm involved in. This year, I'm helping DECA set up for the bookmark making, photo shoot, and mummy wrap but I can't stay because I have to work tonight. I never attended Safe Halloween as a kid but I think it's a great experience and I love creating a fun night for the kids who attend.

Favorite Genre of Music
JQ 10/21/13
Journal question: My favorite genre of music is...........? and Why?
My favorite genre of music is Indie because it can be upbeat or calm and I can listen to it any time of day. There's a wide variety from Mumford and Sons to Arctic Monkeys to alt-J, and I love finding new artists to listen to all the time. Two of my favorite songs at the moment are Breezeblocks by alt-J and Royals by Lorde.

Spirit week
JQ 10/11/2013
Journal question: It's your senior year: What does "Spirit Week" mean to you? Did you participate everyday? Would you continue the traditions of Home Coming, and Pep Rally? How would you get everyone involved in "Spirit Week"?
Spirit week means showing off that you're proud to be a part of Smithtown. This year I participated every day and as much as I possibly could because it's my last year. I even wore feetie pajamas on pajama day. I would definitely continue the traditions of Homecoming and Pep Rally because it's the most exciting week of the year for many people. I think that most people in school participate because there's a lot of hype and people have fun dressing up for all the different themes.
