On most classmates blogs, when you leave a comment you have to type a word in a box for the comment to be posted. After about half way into the semester I started to notice some of them were funny, and I began to jot them down.
Here is a sample of my list:
citatti - is that a new ice cream flavor?
cositi - Gesundheit
mings - and things
porecon - fights clogged pores fast!
undism - Ich bin Ausländer und sprechen nicht gut Deutsch, und das auto ist kaput.
dring - around the roses
gingings - oh this is just my favorite
redrappi - a new restaurant opening downtown
wherie - I am so...
graphi - ummm, you forgot the 'c'
miesses - is that a new mouse breed?

Last Show & Tell
I thought this would be fitting since President Obama recently received his Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently this is how he got it:
How to Be Considered for a Nobel Prize
Things You'll Need:
* Internet Access
* Computers
Instructions
Step 1
Distinguish yourself through outstanding work in one of the Nobel categories: literature, physics, chemistry, peace, economics or physiology/medicine.
Step 2
Get nominated. Each year the Nobel committee sends out thousands of invitations for nominations to scientists, professors and members of academic societies throughout the world.
Step 3
Wait for the good news. Nominations received by February 1 will be voted on by October of the same year.
Step 4
Visit the nominations section of the Nobel Prize Web site (see nobelprize.org) for more information.
Tips & Warnings
*Getting along well with your colleagues internationally is an important part of being considered, because others decide whether you'll be nominated.
*The prize is named for Alfred Nobel, who willed a large sum of money for the prizes. The first prizes were given on December 10, 1901, which was the fifth anniversary of Nobel's death.

Project 5 ReDesign
Here is my redesign for my package. I took another look at air fresheners and odor eliminators. I found that almost every package has light pastel colors, lots of light blues, pinks, purples, etc. I shrunk the nose a tad and clothespin, but I felt if I made the clothespin smaller, you might not be able to really tell what it is. Now it’s time to actually construct it.
Show & Tell - Castle Crashers
Castle Crashers! Instructions: Cut, Fold, Glue, Enjoy! Unlock all SIX and their pets! Download the template to build an army! SUPER CASTLE CRASHERS EXTRAVAGANZA!!
I really like how the instructions are clean and simple. The photos are easy to follow and their dead pet's head on a stick is ultra cute.

You must apply on or before any closing date. Do NOT apply if you do not meet ALL minimum qualifications. The posting will tell you if there is an examination.
2. Complete an Online Application. From the online Job Posting, click the "Apply" link.
