Next Week
I believe that next week is going to be a real reality check for me. So far I have had to study, but nothing like I am going to have to do for all of my finals. There are soo many I just don't know how I am going to be able to fit all of this information into my poor brain. But on the bright I will be done on Wednesday at 4:15.!!! And that evening I get to go and watch my little brother in the Nutcracker play at his elementary school. It's gonna be so darn cute, I am very excited!!
Tuesdays For Me..
Every Tuesday I pretty much have the same routine,
- I go to work at 7am, and get off at noon
- Do some homework (usually something that I am supposed to have done for English)
- Go to English until 3:15
- Then I go to the study room and study the models for Anatomy until 5
- After I get done studying the lab stuff I go to a study session for Lecture (Anatomy)
- I have Computer Science at 6:30, I get out of there at 7:20
- & make my day FABULOUS One Tree Hill is on at 8 =)
This is a Tuesday in my life.

Last Week of Classes
So this is my last week taking these classes, and I am so excited to finally be done with them all!! I am sick and tired of doing the same thing every day! One thing that I am not happy about though is all the finals that I am going to be taking next week, because of the end of the semester. This is no good, but I can't complain too much because I will be done by Wednesday at 4:1. =)

Snow..
We started out December with freezing cold a winds, but with these cold winds came beautiful Christmas snow. Today, I have not been able to say the same. The snow is now dirty and not pretty. The winds are just as strong and bitterly cold as they were yesterday, but we have no snow! So why do we still have the horrible winds, if there is no snow? I want to know this, because I hate the cold EXCEPT when it is coming with beautiful snow flakes. =)
University Core Curriculum for ENG 103:Rhetoric and Writing
Course Goals ~ Introduces and develops understanding of principles of rhetoric; basic research methods; elements, strategies, and conventions of persuasion used in constructing written and multi-modal texts. Upon completion of English 103 I have learned:
1.Yes, I have learned not only how to persuade what it is I believe. But I have also, learned how to defend my particular stance.
2.This is a big aspect of Rhetoric, and by using different elements of persuasion the author is broadening the range of their audience.
3.By drafting a more creative and unique piece it's giving the reader more enjoyment while they read it.
4. With technology growing as rapidly as it is right now it's giving many more types of many more types of mediums, and by doing this it's making the audience that much more larger. This is why we should try and appeal to as many people as possible when creating our writings.
5.Primary research is something like researching an finding out things to defend your side. Secondary is finding a quote that ties into your defense to make it more relatable for the specific audience.
6.I feel very confident about this element, and I believe the reason I feel so confident about this element is because of all the Intensive and Peer reviews we have done in class.
7. I feel VERY confident about this aspect because of the Intensive and Peer Reviews as well.
8. I have learned to take much more responsibility for my writing, because I have learned that I am writing the papers to help possibly and that they will be read by not only me and my professor, but also by many others.
9. I feel somewhat confident with this task, because of the group work on the analytic project.
Coarse Content & Format~ the content and format of English 103 are designed to enable students to achieve the course goals; specifically, I have learned:
1.This is one aspect that I do feel very confident in, because this I feel is one of the number one things he has drilled into our minds ALL semester.
2.I do feel good about this aspect, because he has taught how to properly use the aspect of visual rhetoric.
3.I do feel confident here, because of all the Intensive Reviews and Peer Reviews we have done.
4.This is something I also feel very confident on because this is all we have done all semester is revise our essays.
5. This one aspect that I'm not exactly how confident confident I feel about it, because I'm not sure how much we have touched on it in class. (That I specifically recall)
6.This is something that I do feel moderately confident on, and the reason I say this is because I am not the most observant person and therefore I do not always notice the little things.
7.We have done a lot of this in class with our Rhetorical Analysis, This I Believe, Public Writing, and Multi-Modal Project.
University Core Curriculum Goals ~ The central purpose of University Core Curriculum is to enable men and women to live rich and satisfying lives and to undertake the broad responsibilities of citizenship in a free society. Although The University Core Curriculum seeks to discover and nurture individual talents, its primary emphasis is preparation for roles people share as human beings and as members of family and community groups. Thus, I have learned:
1. I feel that I have learned many things in this class, not only how to write a proper Rhetoric piece, but also how to defend that specific piece.
2.This is something that was developed I feel while we do the Intensive Reviews. So I do feel this aspect has improved.
3.I do not feel the most confident with this specific aspect.
4.Honestly, I do not even understand this specific question. Therefore, I am going to have to say no.
5.Not so sure this one has been developed through this class.
6. I feel that learning to defend my aspect of something has helped me to improve assessment of things in my life.
1.Yes, I have learned not only how to persuade what it is I believe. But I have also, learned how to defend my particular stance.

Back to Reality
Foe me, reality is beginning to set in on the fact that I only have three more weeks left in first semester. This means many things like the fact that will pretty much say good-bye to my social life, because I am just going to be working on studying for all my finals and projects that are all due within the next few weeks. I think it ill all be worth it though, because I'll no longer have to worry about the classes that I have now.
