Next tuesday

So now that I've gotten the portfolio out of the way I think I can relax a bit more. But I am still wondering what we will be doing tuesday. What could involve having a pen and a laptop? And what could we be writing? Hopefully it will be some kind of fun assignment and NOT a test, but I guess we'll have to find out.

On the portfolio

Was it that we had to have peer review sheets from each of the people in our group for every essay? or was it that we just had to at least have one peer review from someone in your group?

Advise needed

Does anyone know what format our citations for our essays are supposed to be in, or does it even matter? Or is it ok to just paste the url in the bibliography?

I slipped

I couldn't resist the urge, and I watched the rest of the Giants-Packers game. I bet I could have gotten a lot of work done but oh well. I do like the Packers but I was actually rooting for the Giants to win, which it was close but the Giants only lost by 3. Now I just hope I can get some more work done until the 8:30 game tonight.

It's Sunday

I thought really early today to make it a priority to do a lot of work but I forgot then that it was Sunday. And usually I can't do any work because I'm too zoned in on the football games on television. I watched the whole Texans game and now I'm trying to stop myself from watching the Packers game. But this really is a serious thing that keeps me from my work.

Work mode

This last week and weekend have been crazy. And I don't think i've done so much work on a weekend  before ever. With finishing my essays, writing my speeches, and studying for tests i've had a whole lot to do.

Thanksgiving break

So far I've had a pretty good break. I've met up with my friends I haven't seen in a while, saw my brother that I haven't seen in in a few years, and had a good thanksgiving meal with my family and neighbors. I did work on my essays a bit but unfortunately my aunts house that I stayed at for most the weekend didn't have any internet connection at all so I couldn't do any researching. So this next week I'm going to have to work a bit more to make up time.

Useless

So I guess I woke up for nothing because I bombed the test that I stayed up so late studying for and that I woke up so early for. It was not like the test we took before in that class at all and I hadn't heard of any of the questions mentioned in class, so I don't know the logic of why the teacher did this.

Crap!

well I was ready to sleep in through this extra time of not having to go to english class, but now I have to wake up even earlier to take a test for my music history class. CRAPPPP!!!! and it's even worse that I'm typing this at 2:18 in the morning. So it looks like I will have around six hours to sleep, and i've gotten to bed around 5am for the past few days.

Yess

Im so glad that we don't have class on tuesday, so now I will be able to sleep in longer. Now if only my other two classes that day would just cancel class then I would be able to leave for break on monday. That would be nice but I'll just have to leave on my normal schedule for now.

Whaaaat???

It's been kind of weird lately. I have actually been working a lot on my assignments and studying lately. All except for my website, it seems like that was the only thing I've forgotten to work on. But on the better side I did plan on working a lot on my projects over thanksgiving break, hopefully i won't forget.

Almost there

It is getting closer and closer to break, and I actually can't wait to get back home. Usually I never want to go home on the weekends, but now I have a lot of stuff planned for this time. And I get to eat lots of food!

Tired of this

So now I have gotten to the point where everyone on my floor is starting to annoy me. I just can't stand it any more and I just need to go out and get my head straight. I hope I can survive through next semester because at first I liked this dorm but now I just feel like I've got to move out.

Log 2

The class after the topic was introduced was a little bit different. All the minor details were explained to us and then all of a sudden it seemed like a lot less fun. I still believe it would be an interesting assignment to do, but I just am not looking forward to all the citing for the images and videos I am going to use.

Log 1

So the new assignment we ever introduced to was the multimodal Argument. And I like the fact that this is different from the other papers we have to write because i've never made a website before. I think that this has the potential to be more fun than the other papers we had to write.        

Dat new new

So i've never really made a website before, so as I was first starting making the website it seemed like a fun idea. But now that i'm hearing about all the citations and other small crap we have to do along with it, i'm not sure if i'm as excited now.

?????

So over halloween I went with some of my theatre friends to Pruis to see the rocky horror picture show. And at first I didn't know that much about it. But it ended up being very weird and even more weird to see how many people were abscessed with it. One of my friends I saw it with said she saw it all the time when she lived in chicago. At the end of the show I was so confused.

Thoughtless

Ok so just to make sure but we didn't have anything due for next class did we because for some reason I don't remember much from last class except going over the intensive reviews. I though there was something we had to do at the end but it probably wasn't that important and thats why I didn't remember.

Minuteman

Everything I seem to work on never gets finished until the last minute, and I always seem to push it aside so I can do it at the last minute. I think I have gotten so comfortable doing this that I do it all the time. I know this is something I should get ahold of but I'll let it work its self out on its own.

Weird stuff but true

I still have not gotten out of this mind coma thing yet. And I have been really thinking about it and I have concluded that there is a bug in my head eating all my thoughts. This is not a lie because I know it's there, and it's keeping me from doing my work! So all the homework assignments I didn't turn in, and I was going to note something else too but....it just ate that thought so it's not my fault, and I should probably be excused from all my assignments I didn't do from this serious illness.

Forgetfulness

So I just remembered that we had to write a rough draft for that new thing we're doing now. and could anyone tell me when we had to write it by? Because I don't remember at all, and please don't tell me it's tomorrow, but actually do because I need to know that!

Weekend stuff

So this ended up being another unproductive weekend again. I fell into another one of my lazy comas and got basically nothing done. So once again I have to spend the next couple of days doing nothing but work that I forgot about.

Name?

So the conference we went to in place of going to class helped me out a bit. It cleared up about what more I would write about my paper, but now I don't know if I want to still do the same topic. Which is kind of weird because usually the first thing that pops into my head is the best  and easiest choice for me to talk about, but now I just don't know.

Success......sort of.

So today I finished one of my papers for this one class that I was too lazy to do on the weekend, so I went on overdrive and finished it in one day. That was sweet but now I have to study for my comm midterm, which my roommate said was really hard and I think he's a lot smarter than me so I'm thinking I will do horrible. Has anyone else taken it that can tell me what to look for? or just tell me how BS it is, which is also fun to hear.

slow minded

So I forget we just have to go to our conferences this week right? and we don't have to go to class? I wish I would have figured this out earlier, so I think I just won't go and hopefully i'm right.

Sluggish

This whole week including this weekend I have not been in the mind set to do any homework or studying. I keep forgetting things and I am also just too lazy to do it. I really need to step it up this week and get on my assignments because I know I have a lot of things due.

What now?

So the day we heard about this project and went to the library I had no idea what to even do or think about for this project. Now today in class helped a little bit, but I still don't know what to do this project. So what now?

Not related

So this doesn't have anything to do with english class, but I was so pumped that the Texans beat pittsburg and didn't screw up as much in the second half. Now I'm hoping for the colts to do the same thing. And actually maybe this could be a future topic for an up coming essay or paper.

Come on!

So today I just found my rough draft for my first idea that I was going to do our first four page paper on for the this I believe assignment. And since I lost it I had to make up something else, which I guess now I can steal some of the ideas I had in that paper and combine some of it with the one that I'm still not finished yet with.

Going for it

So I think for my rhetorical analysis I'm going to use song lyrics from MGMT. I want to use them because they play very interesting music, but I don't know if I should do it or if it's appropriate to do. so those of you who actually listen to them, what do you think?

REALLY??

I have recovered from my sicknesses almost completely, but as soon as that happens I re-injure my back somehow by sitting down and cracking something. I am so tired of this and especially having back issues which have been really bad and stressful since june this year when I sprained it. I have already taken weeks and weeks of therapy, but I guess it is still really weak and for sure hasn't healed yet. I am basically an old man when it comes to my back.

State of tiredness

So lately i've been really worried, with addition to my fever (which is mostly gone now) I have developed violent cough. And on the beginning of the weekend I have been coughing up blood. Sooooo obviously I am kind of concerned, and the wellness center is not open on the weekends which I did not know so I  couldn't get any medicine for it.

So today I nailed one of my speeches, all while being part sick and having a horrible cough. And the day was going by pretty super because it felt like my fever went away for a couple hours and it didn't feel like it was just the medicine making me feel that way. But it came back and now i feel soo coooooold!

Labor day weekend

So this weekend I went home for the first time since the start of college, and I was pretty bored most of the weekend. And by the time I left to come back I could sense I was starting to develop a fever. So conclusion: if you don't want to become sick, don't go home!

Future outlooks on classes

I think that this class won't really be that hard of a class and i'm pretty good at english anyways. The only thing i'm worried about is my music history class and its not because I think its a hard class cause I took AP music theory in high school and mostly get the concept. The thing is that the teacher is not clear on what he wants us to do and he usually just rambles on about shows playing at emmons auditorium. So if any one else has that same class then it would be very helpful to tell me whats going on.

Technical difficulties...

So it has been a couple of weeks since i've gotten my new laptop, and not only did it have a loading problem at first when the salesman was showing me the features (which I thought wasn't that big of a deal).
But now I have trouble accessing the wify connection. It only happens every once in a while and when it does I usually have to shut it down a couple of times to get it to hook up again, but when it first happened in english I was freaking OUT. So hopefully the mac store can fix it or that it turns out to not be that big of a deal.

First two day opinions

So i've been into every one of my classes at least once now and so far and all the the teachers seem like ordinary teachers, except I have one weird one. But Mr. McArdle seems fun, he's kind of funny and random which will probably help me from being bored out of my MIND and falling asleep.
