who is tess guidry?
despite the title of this blog, i am not going to type a personal biography that answers the question "who is tess guidry?" (even know im sure you are all dying to know.. haha)
im just promoting a website as usual- http://www.whoishim.com/
as humans in the 21st century, we all enjoy a good search. admit it.
we get bored and we go to google and type our name or our best friends name and we see what pages come up.
then we go back and google image our name :)
basically this site is just an easy way to search a person by their first and last name and find all of the different external links where it is possible to find information about that person.
its divided into categories like social, profiling, etc. so you can find the person on myspace, facebook, or even our new favorite- TWITTER!
have fun

voc
we all know we love those ORANGE VOCAB BOOKS!
we love doing all of the exercizes, memorizing the synonyms and antonyms, and writing our own sentences to practice for the test!
but sometimes we need that extra help in studying.
we need a practice test!
www.vocabtest.com is a website that has practices to help us study.
this is not cheating.
this is another alternative to making flashcards :) which of course we should do anyway.
they even provide help with learning and understanding stress marks, which has always been the hardest part for me..
so before your next 20, 40 (or if you are in honors, 60) word vocabulary test, visit this site and see if it helps you.

healthy food :)
i love nutrition. it has always fascinated me for some reason. i am also a dancer, so eating healthy and keeping my body in shape is critically important.
one of my dance trainers and former golden girl captain, blair buras, is a dietitian. The dedication she has to dance and to her work is very inspired and motivating! since we are all bloggers, i thought it might be interesting to share her blog with you. the link is http://deliciouslygolden.blogspot.com/
she has AMAZING recipes and great advice on eating right so i deffinitely suggest just giving it a look. i promise the photographs alone will make you want to be food savvy and eat healthy!

where theres a will, theres a well
benjamin leblanc (from chs) and aubrey allison (from sja) got a grant for their project H20 or Helping Hydrate Others. you may have heard of this because there was recently a story on the st. joseph's website home page. basically what they are doing is working with 410 bridge organization to build a well in kenya that will provide water to africans living there.
this is a big deal! its great how people in our community finally stop TALKING about changing the world and start DOING.
there are a ton of students besides ben and aubrey who are involved in this. everyone can help in a way. there are t-shirts that can be purchased for $20 or you can actually donate money online through this link https://www.kintera.org/AutoGen/Simple/Donor.asp?ievent=302644&en=epLDKMMuHfKHLSNEKbLFJ0MBI8LFLUMyGdKRL6MMG.
what truly helps the most is spreading this news and getting this project popular so more people will donate and make building this well possible!
go to helpinghydrateothers.org. support your fellow students and friends. and save african babies :)

free emusic
emusic.com is an online music store.
it is different from itunes in the way that you can download unlimited music but you are charged a certain fee each month.
i am not a subscriber, but if you do subscribe then you get 50 songs for free with new entry.
(plus a free audiobook :] )
what i do have is a free download each day.
if you download the emusic toolbar for free, then you are qualified for a pre-chosen free daily download. i love it because i am supporting new and different bands by downloading music i have never listened to or heard of before. if you dont want the emusic toolbar to show on your internet browser, simply right click the bar and uncheck "eMusic Toolbar"
the free song i get everyday for 365 days was worth the two minutes it took me to download the toolbar. i recommend it!

ever wonder where the money in your pocket has been?
wheresgeorge.com is a website that tracks paper money!
you may have possibly seen a bill with a stamp or writing that says "track this bill at www.wheresgeorge.com"
thats how i found out about the site.
you can sign up and become a member for free and then begin tracking bills!
all you have to do is simply enter the code from the bill and what type of bill it is ($1, $5, etc)
then you mark the physical bill itself.
then finally use the currency and send it out into the world!
if another person finds it and enters it on the website, you will be notified and you can see where your dollar is being used.
the first bill i found had been used and entered in ohio, then alabama, then belle chase here in louisiana. since then i have entered only about three more of my own bills but i am hopeful that someone will find them and enter them!
