Spring Break

 

 

Spring break was the most dread fullest break ever of 2014, I went home and did nothing, but the fact of being home and among family was the best. I got caught up on my rest and did a few job applications for the summer. I was also ready to come back to school because I felt a little bored and being in the 804 it was plenty to do on weekends and throughout the week. Being in the country is the worst place to live if your an out going person, but if you rather be home and a friendly family person  the country is for you. The weather was nice at least i came home and didn't have to worry about snow over spring break, it actually felt like spring time. the fact of the matter is I didn't like the fact I had to spend most of my money on gas, but most of all I didn't have to pay to get my hair done. Last but not least I went and sat at my baby's grave and just spent a little time with her even though she isn't here physically, she is still in my heart. I usually attend church while being at home, but every time I go people always have the erg to say "youre always home", but im the type that loves my family and loves to keep a update on my people!!!

we have actually kind of started out spring break early, because we missed the 3rd and 4th of march its been crazy how our school days been cut short this semester. We have barely had classes, but in a way its just been a laid back semester! I am sick of the snow because it just holds me back I can go anywhere, but be stuck in my dorm. I rarely talk to anybody on campus I have a select few of friends which is a good thing because I can deal with less drama...! I'm glad none of our spring break is getting taken because I think I deserve a week off from just school.. Richard bland was just the right school for me, we get out mostly when it snows and mostly universities are still in secession. Being that we are on back roads it makes it even better because they don't clean the roads off as quick as they do the main roads..

The fashion show has been trying to go on forever in a day and finally it has came to and end and now, its canceled! they have worked really hard and dedicated their time to going to practices and trying to being a student with outside activities. After going to some of the practices and seeing them work so hard and being into what they were doing, no matter what the show should still go on. Every time the show was suppose to go the weather was bad and or timing was bad and it was just something that had to come in the way. All the girls had their outfits and was getting pretty and come to find out there is nothing. I feel for the girls because they truly worked hard and then get nothing out of it .

In class we have been trying to make our way through our first paper and doing peer reviews and doing a process memo. In the memo we talked about why we basically picked our first paper and how did the peer reviews helped or didn't help us, and what would it do differently or what were going to do going forward. This semester has been the worst cause Ive been really lazy and procrastinating of doing my work. Our essay are lengthy and more descriptive. My first essay is on Capital Punishment For Violent Crimes, I love criminal things and I love trying to detect problems,

In class on Wednesday feb 14, 2014 we did peer reviews with our groups. we had to read our papers to our group, and then they had to read it and make corrections. I was the only one in my group who had my paper so there wasn't to many corrections that could be done to everybody's paper. Our papers have to be 1500 words and I got about to 500  words. we have kinda missed a lot of class period times so we haven't really been in class to do anything. The snow has really pushed back our days and our class times.

Feb 6th

 

 

On Feb 5th in class we talked about our argumentative paper that our first rough draft is due Monday Feb the 10th and our first paper is on Crime and Punishment, we discussed how we should have out paper more to speaking to the audience. We watched a video and went through a PowerPoint to give us tips about how to set the paper. Our paper has to be 1500 words and its a research paper. It amazes me how I can jump from English 100 only writing 750 words and now English 101 and now writing 1500 which is almost 4 1/2 pages.  I have a lot to argue you about crime and punishment such as the death penalty and how it doesn't get used properly. we have human beings out here killing and kidnapping and there's nothing getting done to there consequences but jail time. There are many more situations. Also we brainstormed a little and came up with some actually topics to write about such as: Law, Crime, Punishment, Crime Rates, and many more. This is our first paper and I hope I do good and continue to boost my writing.



Monday Jan 27, 2014 Sweeny English 101 class was established an writing assignment and we had to pick three topic out of about 9 and the whole class had to pick the same three to write about. Once it was time to discuss and pick topics nobody wanted to agree on the same ones. We took a vote and a student went to the bored and wrote down the list and we tried to all agree on one, but it still didn't work. After trying to pick three I just gave up because everybody was yelling and trying to argue over just picking a subject. I thought just picking any three would be fine, because we would still have to write a 4 1/2 page paper. Topics weren't all that easy but looking up information could have tied up everything to talk about. When class resumed Friday we are picking topics again and trying to agree on the topics to write about .
