My High School Years

The picture isn't that clear, but something tells me that's A LOT OF MONEY... Look at the second number. It says 999 MILLION. That's right; the counter is maxed out! This is a once in a lifetime event; this is only the SECOND time in lottery HISTORY for the jackpot to go over $1 billion; the first time was January 2016 when the Powerball reached almost $1.6 billion, and three people won it from three different states. Look in the picture. The Powerball is a "miniscule" $470 million. A Mega Millions ticket is only $2; try your luck!

So, the news outlets were right. Sears has officially filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. But, the stores, both brick and mortar and online, will continue to operate. But the 125-year-old company is losing it. To me right now, there is a "race" going on with retailers right now. Amazon is in 1st, Walmart in 2nd, Target in 3rd, but Sears and Kmart are in last place! Sears has not been doing well lately. The company's stock fell below $1 on Sep 28, 2018, and fell below $0.50 on Oct 10, 2018. In fact, the stock right now is at 33 CENTS A SHARE! The company has also announced the closing of 142 MORE STORES, along with the bankruptcy.

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 4. The show is back! The school took me to McCray's Farm. I also went to see my mom at the Holyoke Mall, had my little brother's birthday at Look Park, and went to the fall foliage photo shoot. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E5 ! Updated 2/18/19.

I have reached an incredible milestone on this blog: 1000 total pageviews! Isn't that crazy! Most of them came from my post Just For You, William!, which was posted July 10. That was a very emotional video about William graduating high school, and going to college, which he did, and went on the full day tour, along with I, on August 12! He is now visiting for Columbus Day weekend!

You're probably wondering: I have not posted an episode in 2 weeks. But why? Did I quit? No! It's just I haven't really done anything noteworthy to make an episode. That is why! There WILL be an episode next Friday, Oct 12. So STAY TUNED!

I haven't posted in 2 weeks! But I'm here to tell you something: The blog is NOT dead! Today is Oct 5, 2018. The school went on a trip to an orchard about 45 minutes away. But I didn't go there. I instead went to a farm about 10 minutes from the school. It was fun, but it was chilly; it was only in the 50s outside. It looked like the hayride they have was closed, but it was indeed open. I chose not to go on it because it was cold outside. After, we went on a joyride, and ended up about 15 miles from the school. But we passed by the Eric Carle Museum, and saw something strange: A speed limit sign! That doesn't sound weird. But the actual limit was very weird. It wasn't 15 or 20, but 17! Seventeen miles per hour! What a weird speed limit! I also saw my mom at the community center, which was nice. We played Uno, and I showed Mom an idle/incremental game I like to play, called Infiroad. It was a mostly good day! Pictures of the farm and the weird speed limit sign c...

Note: THIS IS THE 90TH POST! This blog has hit a high note. Just 3 days ago, I gained an 8th follower, the first in a while. And now, that number is 9! So I am just one follower to ten! This blog is amazing! On Apr 6, 2018, I started this blog, in favor of my show, which was to air the 27th, and which did air the 27th. On July 9, 2018, My High School Years went online for the first time after a month of trouble. Here was the trouble: It came to be June 1, 2018. I wanted to put my show online, but I couldn't do it on YouTube; they wouldn't let me. But I couldn't publish it here, because the episodes were too big in file size. But then came relief: I found an app that I could compress the show with, and it was successful! But the app went downhill fast. First of all, the app had annoying ads. But they weren't just annoying, they were ANNOYING. The ads weren't just on the app itself; they were ALL OVER MY PHONE: the app itself, Chrome, they were just EVERYWHERE! And ...

Well, you heard about this 9 days ago. But now, the iPhone XS, XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 are all out, and ready for purchase! If you're wondering, iPhone XR will be out in late October. They just came out today, they're hot off the press! But they are expensive, the XS is $999, the XS Max is $1099, and the future XR will be $749. The cheapest iPhone by Apple that is still sold is the iPhone 7, and it costs $449.

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 3. Summary: I went to IKEA, which was fun! I forgot to add a correction; the travel time was 1 1/2 hours, not 2. I also went to The Big E, which was fun! I also went to the YMCA, Kisara, the mall, and recorded the pouring rain that happened Tuesday morning. It was leftover from Hurricane Florence. HUGE SALUTE TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY HURRICANE FLORENCE. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E4 ! Updated 2/18/19.

Today is September 20, 2018. You probably heard that iPhone 6S, iPhone X, and iPhone SE were all discontinued on September 12, 2018. But don't worry. You can still buy an iPhone 6S, X, or SE from your local carrier. Apple is just not selling it on their website. But tomorrow marks the release of the iPhone XS, XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4, so after today, these phones might not be available from your local carrier. In fact, I have already seen ads for the iPhone XS from carriers like Sprint. And you're probably questioning: What about iPhone XR? That is not due to release until October 26th. iPhone 6S link:  https://m.att.com/shopmobile/cellphones/iphone/iphone-6s/_jcr_content.html?referrer=https%253A%2F%2Fwww.att.com%2F&fromDesktop=true&sku=sku8040356 If you want one, hurry up! As I told you, this SEPTEMBER 20TH OF 2018 may be THE LAST DAY you can buy an iPhone 6S! iPhone X link:  https://m.att.com/shopmobile/cellphones/iphone/apple-iphone-x.html If you wan...
