Reading/Techno Survey

Reading Survey

       To me, the best book I have ever read is called “Fly on the Wall” by E. Lockhart. It is a small teen novel that my sister studied in university. I enjoyed the novel because it is interesting and funny, not to mention it is short. The reason I liked the book is because it caught my attention quickly and made me want to continue reading. Personally I am not a huge fan of reading books, but when I do read, I love the little movie that plays in my head as I read. When the author describes characters or scenes I enjoy picturing in my head what is happening. Besides books, I always read my Twitter and Facebook feed. I also occasionally read the newspaper as I am interested in global issues/events as well as the hockey news. I am also constantly checking my favourite hockey team the “Pittsburgh Penguins” and will read any news on them. I enjoy reading my Twitter and Facebook feeds because it relaxes me and gives me an escape. This semester my goal is to read at least three books. I also want to challenge my reading skills to further develop them. My book recommendation for your library would be “Fly on the Wall” because even though it is short it is interesting and funny; as well it presents a positive message.

Techno Survey

      I have an iPhone 4s with full internet access. I have my own laptop, but at the moment I take the school bus to school and it would be difficult to bring the laptop to school. I do not have an E-Reader. I do have a twitter feed that I use to follow celebrities, as well as friends and people who share equal interests as me. I do not have another blog besides this one, but I do have a Tumblr that just reflects my personality. I also have an Instagram and Facebook account that I use frequently. I use the Facebook to see what friends are up to, and I use the Instagram to post pictures of events, and friends and myself. I am interested in technology as it gives me a small escape, for example going on YouTube to watch a video can be a perfect relaxer. I am also interested in learning about new technology and programs as one day I may have to use them.  For example I learned about Snapchat, I think it is a great app that makes it an easy and fun way to talk to friends in a different way than just over text.
