For my English and History research question is how did the Atomic bomb dropped on Japan spark the Cold War? During my research I have found information about the making of the first Atomic bomb, and things let start after it was dropped like the USSR testing there first A-bomb, the Space Race with the Soviet Union and the United States. I have found a lot of information on the Cuban Missile Crisis which was the biggest threat in the Cold War. I picked this topic because
I have always been fascinated with WWII and the Atomic bomb and I wanted to know if the A-bomb dropped on Japan had any effect on the Cold war so I put them together am it turned into my topic.
My topic for my project is how the Atomic bomb dropped on Japan had a major affect on the beginning of the Cold War. On my days of research I have found that after WWII the Russians or Soviet Union tested there first A-bomb which then caused the US to take precaution and keep watch on the Russians activites. This also led to the Cuban Missile Crisis which was the Russians were bringing missile equipment into Cuba and building launching stations aimed right at the United States.

Research Update
My research so far has been good. I have been finding a ton of sources for my paper and my annotated bibliography. I big help to this is my tutor who has helped find some sources and he actually knows a lot about my topic.
There are some sources that are not as reliable as others. Because it doesn't show the author or how published it. Or when the information was last updated or when it was published. All that stuff is very important to have when I am annotating the source.

Duck Season
Duck season is coming to an end with only one week left. This year has been good but not great. The first split of the season was just amazing. Every week we got our limits, with just mexican squealers, teal and a few black jacks, and grey ducks. My dad was happy that we got limits but wasn't happy that most of the big ducks, like green heads and pintail were gone. Even the real were thinned out. But we were packed with squealers.
The second split was terrible at the beginning. But my brother my dad and I hunted for 8 days straight during Christmas. We had guest coming everyday. The most we had was ten. It was extremely hard to get everybody into two small mud boats, but we did it. After walking 300 hundred yards each day cause all of our blinds were filled up we got a total of 265 ducks. That is what I call a hunt. My favorite hunt of those 8 days was when me and Willy D hunted together and the first day we got 12 and everybody else got 0 and 5. It was awesome. But the next day Will and I hunted at a different spot and only got 5. We got bored and started to walk around in the marsh of through reeds and try to get up some ducks. Well we didn't go far when I fell five or six times. The temperature was
in the mid 30s which was extremely cold when I got water in my pants.
This season has been great. We have killed a total of 606 ducks which is a record for our group. But next year I hope to get a lot more.

Reading Responce & Time
1/7/13-Band of Brothers-Stephen E. Ambrose- pgs.13-30 30min
1/8/13-Band of Brothers-Stephen E. Ambrose-pgs. 30-50 30min
1/9/13-Band of Brothers-Stephen E. Ambrose-pgs. 50- 65 20min.
The Band of Brothers book is amazing so far. I love to read up about WWII. It is just fascinating to learn about wars and history. I have seen all of the episodes of the Band Of Brothers miniseries and I was hooked into WWII. The miniseries wasn't like this book though. It was more detailed, had more scenes to it and it had astounding visual words and sentences in it. It really put my into the soldiers shoes, and I could feel, see, smell on what they were doing.
I would truly recommended this book to anybody who loves WWII, and loves reading history and action. This book so far is one of the best I have ever read. It just amazes me on what the war was like in the words of the actual soliders who fought for our freedom.

Second Semester Free Post
For this second semester I am looking into doing a whole lot better with turning in my homework on time, not two days late, not a day late, not finishing it the class before, but on time. I realize now that homework is the biggest part of our grades. You can have all As and Bs on test and quizzes but have some zeros in homework and have a C in the class. I was a huge procrastinator. I didn't use my time wisely during tutorial, which really hurt me.
This semester I am noticing that I am spending more time during tutorial doing my homework, asking teachers for help and doing some homework ahead of time for me to ask questions sooner. It has helped a lot and my grades are improving tremendously. I hope to keep it up in the future.
