It promises success, freedom, access, and economic opportunities. Beauty
promises a myriad of exclusive and bountiful positive things and it
promises relief and absolution from bad things. Beauty is so desirable that the ancient civilizations created gods and
goddesses whose whole existence were to be beautiful and create
beautiful things. Beauty is desired over more gracious attributes like
being truthful or loyal. Beauty is so desirable that the ancient civilizations created gods and
goddesses whose whole existence were to be beautiful and create
beautiful things. Beauty is desired over more gracious attributes like
being truthful or loyal. Beauty is ephemeral and in the end, the pursuit of it will lead to a track record of physical and emotional scars. st everyone from a boomer to a pre-teen want to be accepted. Many
believe that being beautiful is the way to get attention and acceptance.
Movies, TV herald the handsomeness of beauty as the epitome of getting riches, acceptance, comfort, love.
It is hard to live a regular life without being reminded of how
important beauty is. Jobs and other socio-economic opportunities lie in
the balance when someone is not attractive. There has been studies done
of how an unattractive person will loose money over their professional
lives in comparison to less experienced, but attractive people. Even
though physical beauty varies from culture to culture, beauty, all
around the world is synonymous with goodness or naughtiness, purity or
sexiness, and other attributes that depending on who it is talking, can
be highly desirable. When we see someone that is beautiful, we assume
that the person is good on the inside (or interesting, dependable, etc.).
However, beautiful people get the benefit of the doubt nearly 100% of
the time whereas unattractive people must prove themselves worthy again
and again.
Even though beauty has its advantages, it shouldn't be the only or the
essential measure on how we view ourselves or others. This idolization
of beauty is causing younger children (boys and girls) to hate
themselves, their bodies and their peers. Through magazines
and other media like television and films and see how valuable and
glorified beauty is, I become concern at the path that our societies are
taking.

http://www.adn.com/2012/11/27/2705873/obama-issues-disaster-declaration.html
Summary:
President Obama ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the
area affected by a severe storm, straight-line winds, flooding, and landslides during the
period of September 15-30, 2012. That funding can be used for emergency work and repair
or replacement of facilities that were damaged by the storm. The declaration covers the
areas of the Alaska Gateway REAA, Chugach REAA, the Denali Borough, Kenai Peninsula
Borough, and the Mat-Su Borough. The deadline to apply for the state’s individual
assistance programs is February 3 next year.
It relates to the government:
With this kind of help Alaska can save money and work on other issues instead.
It is important:
It makes feel Alaskans part of the United States. At the same time it proves that the US
Government cares about Alaska as a State.
My opinion:
I think that some States need help more than others and Alaska is one of them.
I am glad that the President Obama thinks about Alaska’s issues too.

Viral Event
"A Few Minutes of Perfection!" YouTube.
YouTube, 07 Dec. 2012. Web. 21 Jan. 2013.
“A few mines of perfection!” is a video made to make a
positive action choice. It represents an idealized society where everybody
helps everybody else. With this video the author hopes that people can watch it
and make a change and a positive action whenever they can.
Everything starts with a child that helped a fellow student
who was just bullied. This guy was amazed by that nice gesture, small to do but
really big for who receives it. He internalized that gesture of kindness and in
the video we see that, even many years later, he is helping other people too.
And those who were affected by other people’s gestures, decide to give it back.
That is how the chain reaction started, with a small and cheap gesture of
kindness.
The video presents a large amount of different situations
and all of them are related thanks to the person that in the scene before has
seen receiving love and in the scene after the same person gives love back. The
song chosen is very appropriate. The singer says that love is his whole being
and he shared what he could. He also suggests the listener that life is the one
that gave the love first and that if you give a little love you can have a
little love of your own – this is basically what the video is about, sharing
love.
In the tile the word “perfection” suggests that all those
people who, helping each other, are building a perfect society and in that way,
even realistically speaking, many society’s
issues can truly get better and better and almost reaching a perfect
community.
“A few minutes of perfection!” is a video that proves how
nice, important and helpful a single gesture of kindness is. It shows how every
person has something to give to make a change and how important is to start. A
little but powerful action will let the chain reaction continue, just like one
spark can start a fire.

Digital Literacy
For this unit we had to create a Visual Autobiography.We used programs as IBM’s “many eyes” or Google Docs Draw, Wordle, Tagzedo or basic graphic design software like “Pages” for Mac.
For my poster I chose a world map as background and I used:
- 7 red dots to indicate the places where I have been before;
- 11 blue arrows to indicate the places where I want to go;
- a yellow star to indicate where I was born.
Visual Autobiography
I – Creativity and Innovation
Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes
using technology. Students:
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities
II – Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance,
to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments
and media
b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats
c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures
d. contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems
Reflection
Knowing how to crate a blog is very useful. I liked a lot creating it even if at first you need to understand how WordPress works but with the teacher’s help you start to understand it and then it becomes really easy to use. It is something that you can use for all your life

Problema+problema+problema=stress
Sono nell'ra di classical mythology, ho finito il tema e non so cosa fare quindi colgo l'occasione per scrivere un po' e non perdere tempo. Vorrei dire che va tutto bene e che non potrei stare meglio ma non e' affatto cosi'. Sto prendendo una decisione abbastanza complicata e in questo mese la mia vita qui mi sta mettendo parecchio alla prova. Gli amici non centrano, nemmeno la scuola anche se tra una settimana abbiamo i finals e non sono sicura di passarli in due classi ma dovrei cavarmela in qualche modo, non sono nemmeno i -23* che ci sono qui o i paesaggi innevati. Il problema e' la vita in famiglia. Vorrei poter cambiare e tentare a vivere una esperienza piu' piena di quella che e' ora. Ci sarebbero un sacco di cose da fare e da vedere ma purtroppo devo fare i conti con due persone che non volevano ospitare exchage quest'anno e che lavorano molto. Mi risparmio l'aspetto piu' emotivo della cosa perche' sarebbe troppo complicato o lungo e non riuscirei nemmeno a spiegarmi compleatmente.
In questi giorni mi manca la mia famiglia piu' del solito (l'avevano deto che superare il Natale e' una delle cose piu' difficili mentre si e' qui, passato quello il resto e' in discesa). Ma devo tenere duro, trovare un'altra famiglia e continuare a sperare che le cose vadano meglio. D'altronde non posso aspettare che le cose cambino se alla fine non prendo coraggio e ne parlo con loro.. qual'e' la cosa peggiore che mi possano fare? gridarmi dietro? Tanto dopo che cambio chemmenefrega anzi, nonmenepotrafregardimeno.
ps. sono le 10 1 10 e fuori e' ancora abbastanza scuro, benvenuto in alaska!!! Qui ha nevicato per 2 giorni e adesso ci sono circa 30 centimetri di neve, ma non ne sono nemmeno sicura non sono brava a contare a occhio. :) But.. e' bello qua perche' se nevica e' bruto ma fa piu' caldo e se non nevica non c'e' possibilita' che piova, c'e' sempre un sole pazzesco e 0 nuvole!
Bye Guys love youu

Un normale Venerdi a scuola
Solo per questo post scrivero' in italiano perche' delle ragazze stanno usando il computer di fianco a me e mi sento particolarmente stupida a scrivere il blog a scuola ma e' divertente perche' quando lo rileggero' avro' qualcosa che mi ricordera' di questa scuola! :) (ps. Questa tastiera non ha gli accenti)
Come ormai ho detto piu' volte, sto cercando di entrare nel cross country skiing team ma il problema e' che non ho l'equipaggiamento e la gentilissima student counsoler Sarah Miller sta cercando di trovarci qualcosa a un prezzo ragionevole. Quando io e Jayme abbiamo guardato, gli scii costavano circa sui 100$.. Lei gli ha trovati a 20$ :) Non ci restano molti mesi di scii.. la stagione finisce il 28 di febbraio! Poi dovro' trovare qualche altra attivita' da fare.
In questo week-end abbiamo un sacco di cose da fare! Andiamo a vedere lo human body, dobbiamo andare da Michael's a prendere un po' di cose per il mio cookbook, devo spedire alcune lettere, dobbiamo finire gli addobbi di Natale in casa...
La scorsa settimana abbiamo avuto per qualche giorno una signora italiana di Milano che si e' fatta fare un intervento chirurgico da Dwight. lei attualmente vive in Norvegia ma ha viaggiato tantissimo per lavoro. Ci siamo divertite con lei! Abbiamo fatto il risotto ai funghi e il mascarpone per il panettone comprato da Dwight! Abbiamo parlato parecchio anche delle universita', lei frequenta l'universita' qui ad Anchorage. Tra un po' ho la presentazione della soia in food prep e dovro' chiudere abbastanza velocemente. Aggiornero' piu' spesso il blog pero'. Spero di avere comunque il tempo per fare tutto nonostante xcskiing. Vado.
Yeah!!! Ho presentato il progetto sulla soia ed e' andato tutto bene! :) Anche se ho dovuto presentare tutti i lati positivi sulla soia ma non quelli negativi che non pensavo avesse ma che invece ha eccome.
Con Jayme e Dwight va sempre un po' meglio, ci stiamo conoscendo e stiamo imparando come trattarli e loro stanno imparando come trattare noi. Mia sorella voleva cambiare famiglia e all'inizio pensavo di fare lo stesso ma a quanto pare trovare una famiglia e' molto difficile e l'associazione non si prende la responsabilita'. Va comunque tutto sommato meglio con loro. speriamo che vada sempre meglio.
Qualche giorno fa abbiamo fatto i gingerbread man: sono buonissimi e ci siamo divertite un sacco io e marta con l'icing. Abbiamo creato un esercito di gingerbread neonati, una donna hawaiiana, un gentleman.... Sto davvero imparando a cucinare qui! Sto apprezzando molto il provare cibi diversi e cucinarne di nuovi :) End period. See ya

Eating... Thinking.... Complaining
It's really crazy how your mood can change so fast.. The day before you feel so strong and ready to face the world and the day afternoon you just wish you could lay down in your bad and do Nothing! I'm kinda getting used to life here, and I'm the kind of person that gets bored really really fastwhich can be a positive thing because I always want to try something new But it can be annoying because if I'm bored I keep complaining about my life: am I doing the right thing? Am I hanging out Too much with exchange students? How is this experience supposed to be?? Is that even normal thinking about All these kind of stuff?? I don't know actually.. i just know that I have to make a challenge and do something new... Time is flying so fast... In 12 days It's 3 months that I'm here and I learned so much in this amount of time But at the same time I wish I could learn something more and more and more and more! And I bet that there is something more, I have to push myself harder and make other challenges, that's my purpose for this month, finally do what I didn't do before! :)

Heeeeeeeeey!!!! Omg I wanna update my blog but I was sick the whole week and so busy with homework!
by the way I'll begin cross country skiing really soon, but I don't have any idea about when. Everything is going pretty much okay, nothing new is happening but I'm still learning a lot about myself. In positive ways of course xD At school is okay, in a few days is Thanksgiving day and I'm so excited cause I don't know what to expect from it... just eat a lot??? I truly love this celebration because sometimes we don't feel like we have everything we need in our life, well.. I can honestly tell you that as long as you have a single person that loves you and you are pretty much okay with you health, you are blessed. You have everything. You just don't realize it because you have it.. It's something that I learned here. That's why I want to tell that I feel lucky, blessed, strong enough, beautiful, gifted, happy, comfortable, in peace and in live with life. I won't never forgive myself for doing something that I don't like or don't follow my dreams for fear or for giving up. stand up, and fight for everything, you're strong enough!
I gained weight since I'm here but now I'm trying to be in good shape for Floridaaaaa! :D I'm so excited.
Did you guys watch Breaking dawn??? It's awesome, I cried.. It was too sad and too beautiful at the same time.... I started years ago to read the book and probably I spend at least one thought about it. It changed my life, as well as many others...
At the moment I'm trying to figure out what I wanna do at University... and I'm torn cause there are so many beautiful states: United Kingdom, Scotland, Netherlands... It's a hard choice, believe me. All in all everything is okay! Alaska is amazing as always and I should take more pictures but I'm too busy to live my life here, even if sometimes you find yourself so bored cause we don't have a ride easily, but I hope it'll be better... With the language is getting better, last time a guy didn't realize I was a foreigner xD Mag is not here this week and I'm missing him cause we have so much fun together but everything is so peaceful now ahah..
I WANT A CAAAAAAAAAAR
If I have something really important to share I'll post something as soon as possible \Bye guys

Love
Hey guys how are you doing?? I hope everything is fine! I have a good news and a bad news... Let's start with the good one: I'm thinking in English now!!! I haven't realize it til this early afternoon in chemistry! It's such a great thing because it means that I understand everything they say and I don't need too much effort to talk to people here! The other one.... I really miss Love.. It might seem stupid but American have a different way to approach. It's always polite, kind, respectful but sometimes you need someone who loves you. I'm talking about parents or relatives, or even friends! I have enough friends here and we have fun together... But it's becoming harder also because at school we need to take a high level of grades so we need to study a lot but at the same time we can't forget that we're here to experience! But when you have 50 pages of Iliad, pages and pages of classical mythology and two projects..................................................................... God save meeee!!!! I wanna meet who said that the American school is easy...
Talking about activities I think I'll be in the cheerleader team cause It's too late for cross country skiing and cheerleaders are only here in US so... I'll think about that! Even though I won't have so much time to spend with the other exchange student that are like a family for me now! But... I need to try new stuff and new people! The musical thing it's a big thing here and it takes so much to learn the script and movements... It's 3 or 4 hours per day of training and probably I wouldn't have a big part due to the language! It'll be good anyway...
Today we carved the pumpkins!!! I didn't expect such a great result! Those are really Sir pumpkins! :D It was a little bit disgusting because everything squeezed through my hands but it was worth it!!! It crazy how many festivals they have here!!! I think it's a positive thing though cause they're always happy for something!
lemme know! Byeeee

What´s happening?
Hey there, how are you? I hope you're doing fine!
What about me? Ehm.. I can tell you that I didn't expect to have such amazing friends here... Today I was sad because it's hard to become part of a family that hasn't your values and thinks in a completely different way... It's hard staying here even if I'm not homesick... But today when my friends told me that they wanted to come to my place to stay with me, it was one of the best feelings ever. I can feel loved in one hand... The school's still hard, I have 200 pages to study of classical mythology but I try to do everything.. but sometimes I feel overwhelmed, I can't hide it.
Anyways on Friday Mag is gona come here in the afternoon cause we're gonna go at the drama play of our school, and I really can't wait... On Saturday night we're watching at 7.00 the Shrek Musical and on Sunday afternoon I was thinking about a shopping afternoon with the other guys!
At the moment I don't partecipate in any activity but I'm gonna do lots of stuff next semester or before... The sooner the better!
About the language... I don't realize that I'm improving my english even if I know that it's improved...
Another thing... I didn't notice that but everyone in my school is judged by someone, even if you don't know it. I changed 2 classes so I realized that there are many girls that (though the're not cheerleaders, cause here it works in another way therefore cheerleaders are for the most part ugly and stupid) are like in the movies... They're mean and you have to be careful about every word you say! Or you reputation is over. That's okay, you have just to know how to act with this kinda people and be true with who you trust the most. Well, if what doesn't kill you makes you stronger..... I'd expect to be really strong at the end of this experience!
Anyways I don't wanna loose my smile because there are people that feel happy when I smile.. I just mustn't care about the stupid things that people say, cause this world i's big and it's crazy. :)
I had so much fun at the homecoming, I danced a lot!!!! I really needed it!
I also went at my first football game and it was fun even if I didn't know the rules ahah.. I'll post a video about the float building, it's so funny.. ahahah... well.. I think that's all.
If you have question, leave a comment below. :) Kisses
