As a group during charger trails, we were mostly successful. I found that gestures usually worked well when doing challenges that you weren’t allowed to talk in. During the maze, I also found it helpful to try to do exactly as the people who were guiding it pointed, because if I had not, I would have stepped in the wrong square and my whole team would have had to start over. During Hog Call, I found that it helped to trust the people telling me to pare up with someone else. Our group was mostly successful in everything we did, except for the last activity,where we had to carry the marble across the floor, through pipes.

My Career as a Cosmologist
I would like to be a Cosmologist (though I may end up in another field of astrophysics), and it is possible that I will take that knowledge and become a professor at a University. Cosmologists study the entire universe and its history, as well as creation and evolution. They may come up with ideas on the universe like dark energy theories and then support it with scientific data and do experiments on it. Cosmologists may have to do complex mathematical equations to help support the data that they find and then present their findings at scientific conferences or lectures. To publish proven ideas, Cosmologists may write scientific papers that are published in Science Journals.
The job outlook for a Cosmologists is growing at a pretty average rate, of about 10%. A Cosmologist pays a median of $106,360 per year, though the lowest 10% earns only $57,640. The required college background is a doctoral or professional degree, and it is also necessary to have a strong background in physics. Ph.D. students will also need to take courses in mathematics, such as calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Computer science classes may also be necessary to become a Cosmologist. Most Cosmologists work full time so it is natural to assume that most are men, but I still wish to be a Cosmologist and study dark energy for a living.

A Snip of my Culture-verse
When I was about four to five years old, I first started playing the violin, and although I play the viola now, I still am impacted by it, as I played the violin for about 6 years. Because the violin (and viola) are an art or a skill, it would fall under the category of Arts and Recreation. I have truly enjoyed playing the viola and believe Arts and Recreation is a very important Cultural Universal. It is also my favorite! Go Arts and Recreation!!
Character Favorites in Seedfolks
My favorite character in this book so far is Sam. I mean, what´s not to like? He tends to be friendly to everyone he meets, and, as he said himself, he is carefully mending the rips and tears of a broken neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio little by little. And that’s only what he has done in his retirement. Before he retired, he worked in the field of pacifism, so he appears to have always seen the good in people. Unfortunately, I can’t relate to Sam in many ways, I just admire his genuine nature. However, he also appeals to me because he loves word and figuring out there meaning, and although I simply like saying complex words and using them, I still feel as if I can relate to this remarkable man. As you can probably tell by now, I am not much like Sam, but that he will always be my favorite, and that I truly admire him.
Visiting Mount Olympus
I would like to go to Mount Olympus, home of the Greek gods and goddesses. I would love to go to this ethereal place partly because of its renowned beauty and partly also because I would like to see the gods and goddesses up close and in person. I have heard from various sources that the throne room is bigger than any person in the known world has ever seen, because the gods and goddesses are ten times the size of regular humans. I am also fascinated by the fact that there are so many different supposed pictures of each of the gods and goddesses, and it is uncertain whether or not any of them are correct. That is why I would like to go to Mount Olympus.
