I. None

II. After a full fledged fun week of spring breakage it was time to return to our dear friend Mr. Couillard. First, in light of the fact that report cards will come out soon, Mr. Couillard showed us our nine weeks grades. He showed the grades with a cat and whisker plot, which I must admit was pretty awesome. The grades looked great and I'm feeling good about my grade. Also, "COOLYARD" told us about his sweet vacation. He says he went to Newport News, Virginia, but if you ask me, i think he partied up in Cancun!!!! Then we were told that debates would start next class, and we drew cards to determine the order of the debates. Unluckily with my fate, I pulled out the worst card, so my group had to go first. I was just kinda like, "Dang!!O well...at least i can get it done with." Then, for the second time ever, we watched a movie called the Persuaders. However, since i slept during it last year, i did not mind. The movie is about advertising and how to persuade buyers to buy certain things. Today, it talked about the development of Song Airlines. Song Airlines is a more modern, new age branch of Delta Airlines. It shows how they develop their advertising and form the business. Finally, we worked a little on our debates. Me and Hunter were so "confident" ;), so we did not even talk about it.

III. Today, I learned that Song Airlines was a branch off Delta. Previously, I thought it was just a new airline from some no-name independent company.

IV. I would like to know what the current state of Song Airlines is today. Are they still going, prospering, bankrupt?

V. My opinion on Song Airlines is that it is a great idea for an airline. With the existence of all these airlines that are the same, Song stands out. Song is way more creative and eccentric, and has so many new-age ideas. It is a way of focusing on the younger groups of flyers.
