Recognition.

Being able to take complete claim over something you’ve worked hard to produce is one of the main driving factors that lead people to be innovative and create things. The fact that as soon as what you’ve created is set in a fixed medium- it is automatically protected is a comforting thought. This could, potentially, be construed as a bad thing because often people might have long harbored the idea, just neglected to put that thought into action. I however, place the blame, not on those who took initiative and made their idea a reality, nor upon those who protect the inventor’s creation, but instead upon those who squander away potential talent and recognition, and then complain when someone else had the gall to actually do something productive. These people are simply bitter because someone else did what they themselves wish they had had the motivation to do. The practice of immediate copyrighting an idea the moment it becomes set in a fixed media is genius, for it allows those who deserve the credit to receive it.

Joe Hatch.

Before Joe Hatch came to our class and told us about CCleaner, my computer was riddled with unnecessary programs and files which had, without my direct knowledge, been messing up my computer. However, upon listening to Mr. Hatch's presentation, I downloaded CCleaner and it freed my computer from a surprisingly large amount of junk. I definitely plan to use it every few weeks in order to keep my laptop from crashing.

Hey I'm Alaska. Well, my name is actually Victoria, but when I moved to Katy, Texas from my little school in Arizona, there were about 323585 other girls named Victoria at my school, so I took the name from a book I had read the previous summer, and hence Alaska was born.
So, like I said, I'm from Arizona, but moved to Katy mid-way through my freshman year. And while Katy is exponentially boring, I met my best friend Kyle, and we had the most amazing summer. I went with him to visit his family in Louisiana, where I was offered hand-caught, home-cooked rabbit. And I ate it. By far one of the craziest things I've ever done. But it tasted like chicken, so it wasn't that bad.
So now I'm here, and hoping to major in Biochemistry. I've wanted to be a forensic lab technician since I was in 7th grade, and I am determined to make that dream come true.
And I was required to take BCIS sophmore year to complete my computer science course requirements, so I know a little bit about Word and Excel and the like.
Until next time.
Alaska.
