Another Reflective Blog :D

So this week we moved out of the economics half of the year into the personal finance part.  This means that we will start to learn more about decisions that us specifically could end up making in the future.  The most interesting thing we covered this week was watching a video about a man who traded a red paper clip and eventually ended up owning a house.  This was a story that one of my friends from another school was describing to me on a long car ride one day so I was pretty excited to hear about it in class today.  We are actually attempting to do what "Kyle" did and trade a paper clip and work up to larger items.  I'm going to make this game more fun and realistic by not trading with anyone else from the class who already knows about the game.  Right now I have a mechanical pencil after two trades.... wish me luck!

Current Event November

One of the biggest storms in history of the world is moving towards the Philippines.  This storm known as Super Typhoon Haiyan will have WINDS OVER 190 MPH! Thousands of people have been relocated to safer places and find shelter on higher grounds.  A storm that hit the Philippines in 2012 that was not nearly as large killed 1900 people.  This storm is surely going to have a major long term effect on the Philippine economy... I think it would be best to keep the Philippines in our prayers that the damages will be minimal.
