Rat Race ~ Escher Dollar

This week in the rat race I am doing pretty good. I sold my stock for MYT4U entertainment, which is good because it went down and the people who still had the stock lost have their money. I got another stock for ON2U entertainment for $5. I also got a stock for OK4U Drug Co. I've made around $60,000, combining my paycheck with my stocks, so far as business manager I hope to soon get out of the rat race and achieve my dream.

Cashflow

So, in journalism class, we are playing a new game called "Cashflow." In the game, you have a job and try to get out of the "Rat Race" and try to get on the "Fast Track" while paying child expenses, home mortgages,car payments, etc. My role is a nurse, and my monthly cashflow was some $ 1,000, but I had a child in the game. I now make $ 950, and my income is $3,100. My mortgage is $47,000 and my total expenses are $2,150. I have made some money on stocks, but the total I have right now is some $3,000. So I'm pretty far away from the "Fast Track", but maybe I will get a good deal on a stock or something. So that's all for now, I will update my status ASAP.

Cashflow Game

So we have been playing this game called Cashflow and its about money and how a person should keep and give away their money. I have gotten some paycheck and I have invested some money into a couple stocks

Life in the midst of rats

In our Journalism class we are playing the  game "CashFlow". For all those who have no clue what this is, CashFlow is a game about managing your money and getting out of the rat race. I am playing the role of a Doctor. At the begining of the game I had a leg up on the competition because I was making the most money. However a few bad condo purchases landed me a spot towards the bottom of the leaderboards. So now i've got a long road ahead to the top. So far only one person has made it out of the ratrace, It would be our very own truck driver played by Brooke Keeling.

Cash flow! By: Jordan

Rat race(Sarah Baker)

This this my first week at bca and i stared the game cash I'm a secrectary and so far all i've done is had one kid and at a few pay checks.

Rat Race Continued

Well we're still roll playing as rats in the game "Cashflow" and I'm doing pretty good if I do say so myself. I am second only to the truck driver Brooke Keeling who has over $500,000.....I am so envious of her money. And what is kind of ironic is she started out as the one with the lest money out of all of us. But for more information on me, I have a little over $76,000, make $2,080 every pay check, and I am a lawyer. So I'm in ok shape for now

Rat Race

Hello my name is Caleb and I'm trying to get out of the rat race which is basically living from paycheck to paycheck and get into the cash flow stage where you make lots and lots of money. I am a lawyer and so far I am not out of the rat race. But then again, nobody is so I'm not the only one. I have a secret weapon for getting out of it though....I'm going to remember to ask for my paycheck every turn I have because I've noticed some people are forgetting this.

-Caleb Hoenshell

Cash Flow

I am a Janitor in the game Cash Flow. Recently I bought a food processor for $150. That's bassically all that happened for me this week, so BYE!

The Weekly LOL ~ New Year (late) ~ Escher Dollar

We all know you're going to pick option B.

RF Track of the Week ~ One-Eyed Maestro ~ Escher Dollar

Here is the first piece I picked for "RF Track of the Week". The website describes it as "bouncy, eerie, and humorous". "This is the kind of music that makes skeletons dance. With its pounding brass, singsong flute melody, and off-kilter syncopation, this piece is whimsical and reminiscent of a carnival. It is quirky, quick, playful, and dangerously creepy, and is perfect for a lively cartoon, circus-themed content, or a magician’s show." Hope you enjoy it.

My dream job

My dream job is to be a nothing doer. You know I just look good and pretend like I'm doing something.
So I would do nothing, get paid lots of money, and get credit for someone elses work. The best part is all I have to do is look good. Thats my dream job..... kinda... sorta.... O well Im done with this blog now.
By: Brooke Keeling

My Dream Job

Well, my dream job is to be a professional gamer. I would love to participate in Call of Duty tournements, Madden NFL tournements, and other game tournements. I would win a lot of money winning Call of Duty matches and Madden games. I also would not mink working for Apple or some other technology company.

My Dream Job

I would like to make and design stuff like guns. The engineering field is something I would be interested in so really anything that has to do with designing things, but I also find interest in the computer and electronics field. Then again, I like a lot of things but I'm not really good at any one thing. Like the whole, jack of all traits but master of none.  I'm not entirely sure about what I want to be so I kind of just threw this together off the top of my head. Forgive me for being unprepared.

-Caleb Hoenshell

Dream Job

For my dream job I would have to say that I want to be an Engineer. This is accually a job that I have wanted to have since I was in the 7th grade. I have always been interested in building things and fixing what has already been created. That is why I think that Engineering would be a great profession for me.

Student of the week By: Jordan and Monica

Monica's Dream job

I want to be a baker, I think it would be fun and I don't like desserts but I like to make them. I don't know for sure how much I would make but I'm sure it would be alot around here because there aren't that many people who do homeade bakerys around here.

Gastropod

I asked some people" What do you think the word gastropod mean?"and here are some of the answers I got: A growth in your intestine, when you are overcome with gas, a type of monstrous snail, the thing that hangs off a cows neck, and an ipod that continuously blows up.All of these answers were good but the true meaning of gastropod is the part of the animal kingdom with snails slugs and stuff like that.

Top Five Songs Sung in Berean

Now at Berean, the students tend to sing a bunch of songs that are very random. So I got to thinking, why not post these songs on the blog for everyone to enjoy? So here they are...

5: Not Alone by Red, sometimes the guys get together in the bathroom and sing this at the top of their lungs. Jordan Wyatt plays the guitar for us when we do this.

4: Our God is Greater by Chris Tomlin, we sing this quite frequently for chapel and it is sung a lot out of chapel as well.

3:  Hold Me by Jamie Grace feat. Toby Mac, you'll have to get Monica Jones to sing this to you sometime because she does it a lot and is talented at it.

2: Never Let Go by Matt Redman, we just sing this to annoy Brooke...

1: Gone by Switchfoot, Jordan started started singing this song a while back and it has just kind of stuck since then. We also do many parodies of this song.

Feel free to look these songs up if you ever feel the urge. Here at B.C.A we love singing songs especially these five songs. Hope you enjoy them and God bless.

Basketball Update

Well, it is now the end of our Christmas break. That means back to basketball. We had a game last Thursday, and it didn't go so well for the boys. The girls did good, winning well.... I don't remember the score, but they won by like, 20. The boys, well, that was a different story. We had too many turnovers, didn't use the backboard on close shots, and let their offense get past us on defense. We lost by like, 10. We have practice today, so I think we will pay for our mistakes that we had in that game. We also have  other games  this week, so somebody will update on those games.

Coaches take on basketball by Moncia and Jordan

I think that the season went well. We won some games we should not have won, And we lost some games we shouldn't of lost.

Coach's Take On Basketball :)

Monica and Jordan :)

What is your New Year's Resolution?

I went all around the school and asked some of the teachers and some students what there New Year's Resolution was. Coach said that his resolution was to stop answering questions.  Mr. Nolland said that his was to eat more salad and go for a walk once a day. Noah said that he was going to beat up his brother more.Mrs Swan said that her New Year's Resolution was to read the Bible more and to make a thanksgiving calender and write down every thing that she is thankful.

How to survive B.C.A.

Even if you aren't a student at Berean Christian Academy, it's still important to know what to do to not be written up and/or get made fun of by Coach. So I have taken it upon myself to help you out if you ever find yourself at Berean without knowing what to do.

Rule One: Abide by the dress code; in B.C.A. there is nothing that can ruin your day more than getting written up and sent to the office because of not wearing the proper attire....unless you don't care about getting in trouble, then it's not that bad.

Rule two: When you first arrive here, the Coach will probably have you do a bunch of errands such as: hauling tables up and down stairs, cleaning the basketball van, and (my personal favorite) hauling lockers to wherever they must go. And this kind of labor will continue throughout your stay at Berean.

And rule three: It never hurts to be an Arkansas Razorbacks fan just to please Coach: Coach has been a die hard Razorbacks fan for a loonngg time so if you want to suck up to him, Razorbacks stuff is the way to go.

Remember my friends, information is power and I hope this information is helpfull in your quest through Berean, may God bless you all.

Prayer Tuesday's

Ok, so some of the high school students have proposed a grand idea: to start having prayer every Tuesday morning. The junior high and senior high students will go into Mr. Holder's room and either pray with other students or pray by themselves. They don't have to go and pray in the room if they don't want to; the students can choose to stay in their homeroom and have devotions with their teacher. Also, there will be a notebook for students to write their prayer requests in.

Sad News :(

Well as they say, all good things must come to an end. This is true for Christmas break. Our Christmas break has just ended  today. Now it's back to the old swing of thing's. No more staying up till 3 a.m. playing Xbox. It's homework and lecture time. But it's not all bad school will help us succeed in life. So everyone just try and make the best of it. :)

                                                                  Well that's all for now,
