Vacation

Over April break, i did many things. My family and I went to Hingham, MA and went out to lunch at Wahlburgers. After that we walked around Hingham Harbor and went back home. But this vacation was mainly spent with hockey. The 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs were on all week and my dad, grandfather, and I were watching game after game if`the Bruins weren't on. When the Bruins were on, we were getting all tensed up because the games were so nerve racking. The Bruins came off with a huge overtime win Sunday night to force a game 7 back here in Boston. When the OT goal was scored by the 20 year old Tyler Seguin, my house erupted with excitement and screams. Wednesday they will play game 7, and my family and I are all desperately wanting a game 7 victory from the Bruins.

Senior Service

I am doing my senior service at Holy Name Parish School in West Roxbury, MA. I am a graduate of Holy Name, where i graduated in 2006. I think it would be fun to end my senior year where I first began school. I will be working with all ages of children from kindergarten to sixth graders. On Wednesday March 7, i went to Holy Name for my first day of senior service, and couldn't have asked for a better site. I enjoyed every minute of it, and loved the kids, faculty and staff. I can't wait to go back every single Wednesday till the end of the year, and I can already tell that these young kids are going to find a piece of heart.

Our Lady of the Pillar

Our Lady of the Pillar is the name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary for her claimed appearance during the start of Christianity in Spain. She is considered the Patroness of the country and also the Spanish Civil Guard. Our Lady of the Pillar appeared in Spain long after the crucifixion and the rise from the dead of Her son Jesus. This happened long after her death as well. 

Christianity is the most popular religion in Spain, and it all started when Our Lady of the Pillar, or the Blessed Mother appeared. The date that she appeared is unknown, but sources say she was near a church in December late at night. She wasn't on or in the church, just near it. That church is now called Our Lady of the Pillar Church. She didn't say anything when she appeared, she just stood still and did the sign of the cross. Ever since that day is Spain, Christianity has been the most popular religion in Spain.

Words With Friends

Words with friends, from different people's perspective, is extremely addicting. It can be compared to the game, Angry Birds. People spend hours a day on their phone, and most of that time, is playing those two games. Almost everyone with a smart-phone, or iPod Touch has these two games. Angry Birds, Words with Friends, and Facebook are the most downloaded apps on cell phones, and iPods. To be honest, Angry Birds is addicting, but it can also be very boring and frustrating. Words with friends, I have never played but from what I have heard is exactly like scrabble, except its an app, and you have to sign up.

V for Vendetta Questions

1. Guy Fawkes was one of the members of The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in which a group of Catholics attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill James I, the King of England, to protest Protestant rule.
2. For every person V kills, he leaves a rose as a calling.
3. V really doesn't have any powers, he just goes around and claims he's making the country a better place by killing all these people. All the people that V kills, all have an important part in the government.
4. The Resistance Movement was suppose to be a non-violent protest, but there were points of the protest where the protest would get out of hand and the police had to step in.
5. One movement that is happening right now in our society is the Occupy Movement. The Occupy Movement is going on all across the United States, and at points can be very violent even causing some people to die. Another huge movement, which happened way back was the Civil Rights movement which followed World War II, which inspired and propelled forward all of the oppositional and liberation movements of the 1960s and ‘70s.

9. The movie is based in future England.
10. V doesn't really have a sidekick besides Evey.
11. To me, the best part of the movie was when all of the V faces walked right through the entire army.
12. V is not like today's society, although if some country's, maybe even the US, don't get their act together, that is what it will be like.
