Remember to Smile

I am sorry that it is now Tuesday evening and I am just posting from last week.  I don’t have any good excuse for why I did not post already but I am going to give you a couple.  Last week was not very exciting so I did not have very much to write about.  When Sunday night came around when I normally write I did not have any good ideas for what to write about and then I forgot to write.  Monday morning when I write when I have forgotten to write on Sunday night my computer was being funky and freezing.  When I was waiting for it to fix itself I started doing some maths and got distracted by it and did not want to stop.  That afternoon when my computer was working again I need to work on my psyc report so still no blog writing yet.  Today I was busy working on my psyc report and enjoying working on my maths.  Today I went to my psyc lecture and then lab and turned in my report and now I am back at my flat working on this blog post finally.  I still do not have much to write about but I will tell you about two different things that happened last week.

Story 1
 On Monday I made many cookies (about 4.5 dozen) and I could not eat them all so I decided I would bring them to share at soccer.  I brought 16 of them and there are 5 people on each team so about 10 people and I thought it would be easy to get rid of the 16, at least 8 of the people would need to eat 2, once chocolate chip one peanut butter.  This ended up being much harder than I thought it would be.  I was asking everyone if they wanted a cookie.  There were building a barbecue (in side and I am not sure why) who took some and then the people in the office took some also.  When I was leaving the office one of the guys said “Thanks for the biscuit.” Then it dawned on me that that might have been my reason I could not get rid of cookies I should have been getting rid of biscuit.  I finally convinced one of my team mates to bring home the left over cookies to his family. 

Story 2
This story is not very exciting as the last one. For my CHCH final part 1 the assignment was “What is the best way for you to express how you will change our world?” on an A4 piece of paper.  For me it took a while to figure out what I wanted to make to expresses this.  I decided that how I have been trying to change the world and want to do more is to make and remind people to smile.  As you can see at the end of every post I remind people to smile.  The way I decided to express this idea of making people smile I decided to make a jar over flowing of jokes.  I spent a while working on this project.  First I was looking up many good jokes.  I found many of them and I would like to share some of them with you

Q: What did one wall say to the other wall?
A: Lets meet up in the corner.

Q: Why did the algae and the fungus get married?
A: They took a liken to each other.

Q: What is the difference between a writer and a park bench?
A: A park bench can support a family.

Q: Why do you divide Sin over Tan?
A: Just cos!

Q: What did the dentist say to his computer?
A: You have a severe Megabyte!

And here are my two favorite jokes
Q: What does the force and duct tape have in common?
A: They both have a light and a dark side and they both hold the universe together.

Q: What did the buffalo say to his son when he went off to college?
A: BISON

So after finding a bunch of jokes I used powerpoint and created a jar full of jokes.  I then printed and cut out the jar.  I then used some clear plastic bags and wrapped the jar in to make it look like a glass jar. I was not sure how that was going to work out but it ended up working out well. I then taped on cut out letters that said, “Grab a Joke End Up With a Smile”.  I was really proud of the result and sad I had to turn it in and was not able to keep it.  Here is a picture of the result



I hope this blog worked by making you smile today.  Hopefully I will have another post up next Sunday if I don’t come up with any more lame excuses.  Until next time have fun and smile :)
