Its been a while since I have had a chance to write a blog post here. Recently, I’ve been so busy with Broadcasting club, school and working at TalkShoe; and all of my podcasts (shows). I will have another blog post about producing a Game Show, which I recently did for Broadcasting Club (I was the Director).

Today, I have taken, “The TechBudde Report,” out of commission of the Budde Media Network, since I do not have the time or resources to work on show notes, record the show and edit the show. School, Work, Extracurriculars and all of my shows keeps me too busy to do the show. You still can listen to past episode of the show here.

This week there is not going to be an episode of Wetpaint Nation or Talk Careers with Josh Budde as I have been so busy this week. I was out of school on Monday, as I was not feeling well and that put me behind school and work wise. I did not have a chance to find someone to interview for the show (Talk Careers with Josh Budde) or prepare show notes for Wetpaint Nation. Although, Rob White, Logan and I will still be hosting The New Media Roundtable on TalkShoe tonight at 8/7C, which is a part of the NMP Network.

On top of being busy with catching up with catching up with email, tests, notes and the web this week I have been working on a story, which you have possibly seen a previous (pre-version) of it. It is a new version of the NCIO Series of Stories that I have begun re-writing. There are over 20 new characters that appear in this brand new version of the series and I am going to be removing the previous version very, very soon. I have been having a fantastic time working on the new version of the Story Series and I think anyone that likes crime stories or crime television shows will think this is an interesting story series.

Two weeks have past since entering into the world of High School. I’ve had quite a bit of homework, definitely more than I did in Middle School (6-8th Grade)… English, Spanish and Earth Science top the list with Algebra coming in second place.

Today, I signed up for Broadcasting Club because I have special interests in that area. They were also in need of Announcers, Producers, Directors and Cameramen… With that, I decided to join!

Those that my tweet earlier today, know that I have decided to run for Vice President as a Sophomore next school year. I also signed up for Mock Trial at Orientation in August, I do not know when it starts and I will let you all know when I begin Mock Trial.

Yes, I know what your saying, “You’re just entering High School…”

Thats right and I’ve always been somebody who likes to plan ahead, that means thinking about what I would like to do. I’ve typed a blog post about this before, I thought that I would put an update out about what I would like to do for college and as a career.

Bachelors Degree

I plan to apply to Cornell University’s Agriculture and Life Sciences for Biological Science and I know, this is expensive at approximately $37,000 a year and it adds up to about $148,000 for the Bachelors Degree (4 years). This allows me to go on a track of “pre-vet” to become a Veterinary Student following my undergraduate education

When it comes to scholarships, I have already applied for two scholarships (I start my Freshmen on September 8th) and I plan to apply for many, many more…

Professional Degree

After completing a B.S. in Biological Science I plan on continuing my Science education and love for animals by becoming a Veterinary Student and completing a D.V.M (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) degree. I plan to apply to Cornell Veterinary School as well.

As long as I get licensed and such in Veterinary Medicine, I plan to do an internship in Small Animal Medicine & Surgery (12 month rotations) and specialize in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Small Animal Surgery. Which should bring me to a total of 6 to 7 years of additional Veterinary training (1 internship, 2 residencies).

Today I went to the High School for Freshmen Orientation. I had the chance to see the school, find out where my classes are and see some of the kids/students that I will have in those classes with starting on September 8th for my 9th Grade year (Freshmen).

Entering a new building is definitely something I am not used to, so this will take a few times of traveling the High School to get used to where my classes are and how to get to them on time… Speaking of on time, my 4th Block class (Earth Science) is two doors down from my 3rd block class during the 1st semester.

I already hold two credits entering the high school, needing only three more to become a Sophomore (10th grade) next year (2010-2011). Those credits come from Middle School Spanish (which I scored a 96% on the State Proficiency Exam) and Career and Financial Management.

I also had the chance to signup for a few extra curricular activities, like Mock Trial and the Fall and Spring musicals (I signed up for those), although there are many, many others! Several of which the Middle School did not have.

Semester 1

Block 1, A Day – Global I
Block 1, B Day – Algebra

Block 2 – English 1
Block 3 – Spanish II
Block 4 – Earth Science

Semester 1 lunch is Block 3B.

Semester 2

Block 1, A Day – Global I
Block 1, B Day – Algebra

Block 2 – Spanish III
Block 3 – Physical Education
Block 4 – Earth Science

Semester 2 lunch is Block 3D.

As I near the final 13 days of school here in Western New York; I have just a few final tests. One is tomorrow, the ELA Think Link (a comprehensive test in English), the Spanish State Test and my Math Final Exam.

The Spanish State test is on Monday, June 22nd at 8am; from taking the Practice exam earlier it seems pretty east… Tomorrow I will be taking another practice exam, starting with the Listening portion. The following day we will take the written portion (part 3 & 4) of the practice exam.

The Math Final Exam will most likely be easy because it is only 25 questions and most of this year’s math content was quite easy. There is a lot that could show up on this; but with the review we have started, it shouldn’t be too difficult! This test is next Thursday at 11am ET (for me).

I have taken the English State Test, the Math State Test, the Science one and Social Studies — here comes my final state test for the year and then I will be on to the summer with entry to High School next September.
