My spring break was decent. I mostly just worked and hung out with friends. I wish I would have went away for spring break, because the weather wasn't that good for a spring break. My plan for summer is to work a little bit more so I can save up for a brand new car. I have enough money to buy a used car, but a brand new one is a better investment in the long run.
For now, I plan to keep working and also finish the school year well. So far I've gotten into all the colleges of my choices with scholarships and will probably end up choosing UIC over IIT. I'm only making the choice, because I know I'll do fine there and it's cheaper than IIT, even with IIT's scholarship. That's all I really have planned.

"How to control a computer with a banana"
First off, this article can be found at: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/05/tech/innovation/jay-silver-makey/index.html?hpt=te_t1
Reading this article, I realized how much some people really contribute to the invention of new technology. Just one man, from MIT, has made many cool technological inventions with small help. One program he created is called Drawdio, which creates music as you draw. The biggest thing he is known for now is the "MaKey MaKey". This is a kit which uses simple household items which conduct electricity in order to control a computer.
This article is named "How to control a computer with a banana", because that is just one example of a fruit that can conduct electricity. I was very fascinated with this article, because I didn't think such an invention would be out yet. This just shows us how fast technology is advancing and what possibilities there will be in the future. At this pace, technology might be COMPLETELY different in probably 10-15 years. I liked this article.
