Constitution Project!!!

Last Monday, I was assigned by my U.S. History teacher to complete a project dealing with the Seven Principles of the Constitution. I had to find articles from online sources or newspapers associated with the principles. Currently, I am searching through Google and online newspapers. If you have a great article to share with me, please post it as a link in the comments section. I would also greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments you wish to share with me. My project is due on the 21 of November so my time is limited! These are the Seven Principles:

• Popular Sovereignty
• Limited Government
• Separation of Powers
• Checks and Balances
• Federalism
• Republicanism
• Individual Rights

Freezing Temperature in Houston!

This morning, there was a thin layer of ice covering my dad's car! I could also see my breath in the air. Reaching temperatures around freezing is uncommon in Houston, especially as early as November.

Eric Berger wrote on Houston Chronicle’s SciGuy:

“Parts of the Houston region froze on Friday morning, including Angleton, Cleveland, and Conroe. It’s really early for this. According to NOAA, there’s just a 10 percent chance of Houston (in this case, Bush Intercontinental Airport) recording a freeze during any given year before Nov. 5. For Hobby Airport, the corresponding date is Nov. 17. But when the air is dry, it cools quicker.”

Orchestra Music Here!

My sister and I are in our school orchestra. Last year, we played a cool piece from JW Pepper. To hear the orchestra play the piece go to:
