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.

Black Friday :)

Black Friday 2010 was a total success!! I woke up at 3 went and stoop in line until 4, and then shopped and saved! I usually go every year, but I almost never go with my family, because my mom usually gives me the whole I'm shopping for you so no you can't go trip. But not this year she gave in and I am very glad she did.

Thanksgiving

Me and the Holidays a sort of love/hate relationship. The love aspect would have to be all the amazing food and getting to go home and see all of my family that I do not normally get to see. Now for the hate: upon this list are cleaning, see certain family members( and everyone has them), and my poor mom being all stressed out about stuff around the house. All the things are reasons the holidays are well the holidays.

End of the Semester

As the end of the semester approaches I am beginning to get excited for my new classes to begin, and start a new routine. With this also come the burden of taking finals, and after this week I am not so sure I am even gonna survive those. This week I have had three tests, and because of those three tests I have been on edge and soo stressed all week. So hopefully my finals week will not be as bad as I am predicting it  to be.. Although, I am sure it will live up to every once of expectation I have for it.

Monday-Friday; Good Stuff

There is something good about each day of the week for me, and they are...
-Monday>> It goes by really fast, because I stay sooo busy!
-Tuesday>> One Tree Hill and 16 and Pregnant are on
-Wednesday>> Hump Day and breakfast for dinner
-Thursday>> Day before Friday :)
-Friday>> I get to go home at 2 o' clock and that's my favorite part of the week most of the time.
These are my favorite things of the week at school.

Daylight Savings Time

Although, we fell back an hour on Saturday and we are technically getting up an hour earlier I do like it. Yes, it does stink that for like the next week we'll be getting an hour less sleep. Yet, I enjoy it because it mean when I'm walking to my 8am class it isn't completely dark outside. I feel like this makes it feel warmer than it actually is outside, but I don't that's just me. I just really don't like to walk to class in the dark in the mornings, and now I do not have to. :)

Tuesday November 2, 2010
Today when we got into class we were told who's Public Writings were going to be Intensively Reviewed by the class on Thursday. Then after we got that we went into into our Peer Review Groups. I got a lot of good ideas for my essay, and reading everybody else in my group helped me to better understand what exactly was needed for a Public Writing.

Thursday November 4, 2010
In class today we did Intensive Reviews over Chelsey, Olivia, and Thomas' Public Writings. I found all the essays to be very interesting and I learned something new from each of them. Overall, the class had very helpful thoughts and ideas for the everyone. Although, we did not get through Thomas' we will finish his next Tuesday along with the other ones we still have left to do.

5 :)

There are only 5 more days until the end of the semester! This is good and bad all at the same. It is really REALLY good because I'll finally be done with Anatomy after this semester, but also not so good because this means I am gonna have to crack down and get all of my essays finally done. Overall I am very excited for this semester to be over and considering I'm not a very big fan of any of my classes.

Writing Center

All semester Mr. McArdle has been encouraging us to got to the Writing Center located in Robert Bell. Well this past week I took his advice and went to have them help me further understand exactly what writing a Rhetorical Analysis entailed (hoping this would make it a few pages longer), well there advice was so much more helpful than I ever even imagined it would be. They sat with me and we read through my essay and broke it up and talked about it in pieces. They really helped me understand exactly what should do to improve the essay, and they also have made writing my essay much easier. I would encourage everyone to go to get their essays reviewed.!
