We all use the scientific method on a regular basis and do not really notice it. It is basically our brains using common sense to make decisions. Some simple decision and others thoughtful decisions. It could vary from a simple choice you make, like what kind of cereal you like the most, or some big science experiment that could find the cure to some deathly disease.
One specific time that I have used the scientific method would be when I'm standing in Walmart trying to decide what cereal I want.
Problem/Question What type of cereal should I get?
Observation/Research There are quite a few cereals to choose from and I like so many of them, but the best few would be rice krispies, fruit loops, and honey bunches of oats.
Formulate hypothesis I will probably choose honey bunches of oats
Collect and analyze results The best cereal out of my three choices is honey bunches of oats because they are tasty and have some good nutrients.
Conclusion I walk out of Walmart choosing honey bunches of oats as the cereal I want.
Communicate the results I share the cereal with my family and they start to see the greatness of honey bunches of oats.

first few days of school
Well, I was actually kind of dreading coming back to school. I thought I was going to hate every single class I had and everyone was going to annoy me.
I was actually wrong, and that shocked me. All of my classes other than spanish seem like they are going to be great. I have always hated spanish classes though so that is no different at all. Spanish classes always seem to be humongous and have a whole bunch of annoying, loud, and rude people.
So far outside of spanish class I love all my other classes. I feel like the teachers are going to be awesome and out of all of my classmates it only seems like there are maybe 1-2 people who have the potential to get annoying.
All in all I believe I am going to like at least this semester of school.
