Assignment 1- Sam Ederington

While in Sra. Haley's class last year my name was Isidro, the name I usually go by is Sam. Until October twenty-sixth, my life will be consumed by marching band. I play clarinet (the best instrument), and am one of the section leaders for the clarinet section this year. My goals for this year include surviving the AP Spanish exam, and improving my ACT score with as little studying as possible.

This is my favorite video, its by a British comedian discussing his experiences replying to spam emails. I just found out when looking for this that it is the most viewed Ted Talk of all time. Feel free to share in class. To me it's funny because spammers try to get money by tricking unaware people, and this makes fun of them by showing just how weird responses can get. If you enjoyed it, James Veitch has done a sequel and another talk about trying to unsubscribe from large businesses' emails.

My favorite website is the official Total War Youtube channel. It's in charge of creating content for the assorted Total War games that introduced me to the grand strategy genre of video games.

One cool thing over the summer was I got to meet an actor playing Polonius when I visited Kronborg castle in Denmark, the model for Elsinore. I played Polonius (and died as him) when we acted out Hamlet in Mr. Peavler's class, so it was a nostalgic reunion of sorts.
