a little disheartened

after my conference i was still kinda sad that i found out that i still have a lot of work to do. But the one thing i am excited about is that what he is telling me at least what i remember him telling me gets me kind of excited to research and write about it. which is really weird because i hate work like that but i hope it turns out well. One thing i wish i would have done is just written down everything he had said because i am sure i wont remember half of what he said to me by the time i actually start to work on it again. So i am hoping just like probably all the rest of you, even the ones who dont read the blogs which is probably 95% of the students, that all goes well.

No job

I have no job lined up for this summer and all the places that I have applied are already filled or not hiring. Is anyone in the same boat?

Conference

So I'm waiting in the grind for my conference to start, I am the last conference on the last day. While sitting and waiting I decided to blog since I didn't blog this week yet. To be honest, I am kind of nervous for my conference because I am wondering what Adam is going to say about the things that I have written in my paper. I have tried to expand on things, link concepts together and express how and why I connected them this way. Its hard to be asked on the spot what I was talking about in a certain area of my paper because then Im afraid that he won't understand what Im talking about and how I connected these concepts. I better pass this portfolio because if I don't pass this class and have to take it again, that will really suck! Hopefully this weekend will be fun so I can get my mind off of this paper for a little while.

Freaking Out

I'm not worried about my paper or English class at all. My concern is this stupid math class that I have right before it. The professor said that if we are not averaging a 70% in the class already, we will have to get at least a 70% on the final, and I know that I am averaging closer to 60% or lower and now I have to do this exam. I should just take classes that really suck in the summer or in the winter during the school breaks because I hate being in classes that don't have a real point besides having them just to have them .

The only thing I am thinking about in English is the presentation, but I don't want to do anything about it because it feels like we have to find something that entertains them. I am not writing this paper to entertain anybody and if the portfolio readers want some entertainment or excitement, they should go to a movie. I dont want to create a magazine or try to be creative, I just want to get straight to the point and talk about what I gathered and why it is so important. By creating some type of special presentation for it, I would be contributing to this part of the paper that I feel is unnecessary.

weekend

Well now that its thw weekend I have to work, work on my paper, and study for more exams. Man just a few more weeks and its summer yet it seems so very far away.

going home

The weekend is finally here, I cannot wait to finally go home. I am so l sick of school, and I'm tired of partying every weekend. I can't wait to be home for the summer and be with all my friends back home.

Conference Time

I have my conference today. I think I am pretty much set with my paper. I just have to work on my presentation and I definitely think I am going to go with the magazine idea (mainly because nothing more brilliant has come to mind). Anyways, I am happy with how everything is coming together. I know he still has to read my reflective essay, but I think I am meeting all of the goals with it as well. So I am feeling good. Now if I could just feel that way about all of my other classes. I would be golden.

Conf Time

My conference is in about 12 hours. Might as well throw those 8 hours I was suppose to be dedicating to my paper actually into my paper now. I know a lot of people have done the same as me, putting everything off till the last possible second. Why not, I seem to function better under pressure. Let's see what shit I can come up with tonight, hopefully it's awesome.

Yay weekends almost here

I went to class for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday. Yay me. But i'm going home tomorrow for my birthday and i'm pretty excited! :)

Bucks

Wow the Bucks ar playing amazing without Andrew Bogut. Lets go Bucks.

So the Brewers lost another tough game yesterday in extra innings. Obviously the biggest problem right now is are pitching, they just are not getting the job done right now. We need to close out games and then we should be alright, but if we don't it could be a rough season. The Bucks on the other hand, shocked all of Atlanta last night with a win and are now up 3-2 in the series. Lets hope we can finish off this series at home on Friday, and move on to the second round. All I can say is FEAR THE DEER!!!

Fresh Out The Hospital

Hello my fellow classmates. I really have some catching up to do so im going to start and try to finish up my revisions today. Over the past nearly two weeks ive been VERY sick. Still dont know exactly what was wrong with me so far...(still awaiting some of my test results). Ive been in the hospital twice and to the doctor 3 times. Doctors get paid to find out what's wrong with their patients right? Well i thought the same thing lol. Since the sunday before last ive lost 13 pounds sadly. Everything i tried to eat was thrown up, and i had the worse stomach pains that a person could have. I was finally able to digest a full meal for the first time this tuesday. Only to come home to effin house maintenance lol. They were replacing our windows and i guess there's a state law that says the residents of the home cant be inside due to the lead and chemicals used in the process. But i guess im back now, feeling alot better and im ready to rock n roll....now its time to restress on this english work. I hope u all enjoyed ur lives without me lol. Anyways, wish me luck and hope that i dont construct BS in my attempts, i wish u all the same.

happy!!!

so i just had my conference with Mr. Andrews and i got good feedback...i just needa clean up my sentences a bit and then i am set...so i'm very happy...i'm confident i will pass English 102...YES!!!!

New Knowledge

So it is now 5:20 a.m. I have NOT slept because I have been working on this damn paper that I HATE! I have taken an energy shot along with an energy drink...that's a first for me. Uhm, I have the jitters a bit and have started speaking to my computer screen...I'm going slap happy. I have confrences at 1:00 which I am not looking forward to. I might cry if I'm imformed my paper is still not meeting those ridiculously confusing course goals. I am over tired I can barely read over what I just wrote. I have come to a block so I figured I minaswell participate in this thing. I leave for Madison in twelve hours to spend the weekend there and go to Mifflin and what not. I have yet to pack, go to another class, finish this paper, and hopefully make it to the gym and tanning. I am so completely excited for the weekend and so completey terrified for the moment I crash.

wow

Bucks won tonight! defiantly did not see that coming especially after atl lead by 9 in the 4th and had all the momentum. All the pressure is on the Bucks now to close at home because if they don't I don't see them beating Atlanta in game 7.

Paper

Well my conference was on Monday and since then so far I've just started over on my paper same concept but I just wanted a blank surface. I'm really trying to get to a place this time in my writing. Besides working on my paper I've been writing a Poli Sci paper thats also due Monday. Besides all that I can't wait til the summer to start my new job it's going to be awesome!!! I just hope I pass this class I think I've had enough of English 102 so thats why I'm taking 112 hahhaha fun times next year.

Bucks

I just have to comment on the Bucks tonight who pulled off a road victory tonight.. HUGE WIN for them to win because they now are up 3-2 in a 7 game series and they are coming back to Milwaukee Friday night. It is hopefully going to be an awesome game and a victory for the bucks who can hopefully move to the next round for the first time in like 40 years without their awesome center Andrew Bogut

done

I am so done with everything! i can feel the end of the semester coming and i just wish everything was done and over with. i have been working like crazy on homework, studying and my job. Today i work i dealt with so many crabby customers that i wanted to hand over the store keys and quit! i know i cant cuz i love what i do but im so done! then i have my conference and it was ok but i realized that i have so much to do! all my friends are almost done with school and i just cant wait till summer! plus im moving into my own house with a friend for the summer and i just can not wait! it will be a very LONG last couple of weeks that is all i have to say. many all nighters ahead for this girl!

Thoughts

I think somebody needs to create a pillow that stays cold because I hate warm pillows and this is just a random thought. I also want a waterbed because I am sick of all these beds that all eventually become hard and stiff. Just random thoughts.

Bucks in ATL

Bucks win after the run and now up 3-2, hopefully they win the next game too so either Orlando or Milwaukee go on to the next round and then I would be pleased with whoever wins that series (Magic).

Where do I live again?

So all I do is go back and forth from home and the hospital. And if I had a laptop I would probably never leave the hospital.
I have my conference on Friday and I hope that I hear some good news. I think my paper is doing okay but I have no idea what to do about presentation. I cant think of anything to add into my paper that would make it sound better or be absorbed better. I found one intersting quote that I stuck in for aesthetics(?) but otherwise nothing. I was thinking of making it into a magazine because what I am writing about is something that reminds me of those articles you see in TIME magazine so I am thinkin I might do that. Format it like a TIME magazine too, with all the pictures and little block quotes in random spots so you are never truly forced to read the whole article to understand what is going on. The lazy way to gather intelligence. I love it.
Anyways, I want school to be over just like every other person on this blog. I cant wait for one less stressor. Stay positive. Just stay positive.

Meeting...

Even though our final paper is due in about a week I feel like I still have SO MUCH to work on. I'm so close to having my paper perfect, but I'm yet so far at the same time. I cannot wait for this paper to just be done...

essay

i had my conference the other day and it definitely helped me a lot. I still have a lot of work to do but i feel i should be able to get it all done before the end of this week. Anyway hoffman sucks and we need to move carlos into the closer role for a little while hoffman figures his shit out. Go bucks go

I'm spent

this week has been nothing but work, not fun at all. Exams plus my papers to write, it just sucks all around. i cant wait till my last final its going to be such a relief, my mind is burning out and its becoming more and more of a harder task to keep my mind focused when i should be getting my work done but my brain is just spent.

cant wait for summer

I'm getting so sick of school. This portfolio stuff has been taking up tons of my time, and I have a 12-15 page paper to write for my urban studies class as well. I haven't been able to enjoy the decent weather recently which is starting to get depressing. It sucks having to sit in my room typing paper about stuff I could care less about while its sunny outside. I've lost all interest in school and feel like its a waste of time any money. I don't feel like I should have to pay for things I don't want. The only reason I'm going to school is to get a good job, but lately I'd rather have a decent job and just start working now. I like making money more than spending it.

tired,,,

ok well i felt like i've been at school all day...just got done doing and anatomy online assignment which was vvery hard...and i know that i'm not going to pass that class so i'm going to take it again next semester...and then it's so frustrating cuz i cant enroll for any classes until i go and have a meeting with my advisor which i didnt know so now i have to go for a walk in cuz her schedule is all booked...wtf...and tomorrow is my conference with mr. andrews and i really hope that i get good feedback....huh...school is so irritating...i just wanna drop out...but anyways...now i'm off to go meet up with some classmates so that we can start on our group project..so bye bye...

school. ugh.

school, classes, homework, tests...they're all getting really old, really fast. I'm spending the entire day rest of my day working on my papers. I'm not looking forward to it, but I have my conference tomorrow...so it has to be done. So that's all I have for now. If I get enough work done today, I'm heading to the 3oh3, cobrastarship concert tonight. jealous? ya, you should be. ;)

Summer and English

Cant wait for the weekend. Going home and hopefully Miflin on Saturday. School is getting real old and I cant wait til the summer to start! Working, fishing, golfing, swimming, and park ball with my friends from home; I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I had my conference yesterday. Got some good feedback, and I feel that I am able to transform my paper into an A paper, BUT I need to put a lot more work into it. I am comfortable and feel like I will pass the class, so a lot of pressure about English is off! I can now focus on my other classes a little more!

Confrence

About to go to my conference hopefully prof. Andrews likes my paper. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked to. I defiantly waited too long to start.

Prepare for the end of English 102

I hope i pass my portfolio review. Ive done what i can and ill continue to focus my attention on meeting the course goals. How about you guys?

So the bucks have tied up the series at 2-2, and tonight they play again in Atlanta. It's not going to be an easy game, but lets hope they can pull off a road win. Brewers game was sad last night had a 3-2 lead going into the 9th inning Hoffman comes in for the save... What did he do, first guy up home run, next three guys get on, bases are loaded, grand slam. Seriously are you kidding me right now, Hoffman is obviously past his prime and he can't get away with and 84 mph fastball anymore. That's about the scoop, but lets hope Brewers and Bucks can win today!!

today i am busy. i have a meeting with my advisor today at 2:30, english and a&p lecture are cancelled but joy i have an out of class assignment to do in place of class. i have to work on both english essays, i need to schedule an appt to the Writing Center ASAP, i bet stuff is filling up. uhm confrences tomorrow so tonight i will go to town on connecting my sources, i worked on my works cited page, i hope i did it right. math quiz friday. i made my may calender today! alot of stuff to do, maybe i should stay home from mifflin and just get sh*t done. okay adios.

bllahhh

So, i still haven't decided a major, and i have no idea what i want to study and spend the rest of my life doing. I just scheduled my classes for next semester, and School feels like a waste of money right now. I am taking the most random classes, and i guess getting my GED's, but it just feels like such a time waster because i don't know what i want to study.

Almost There

So I'm starting to feel a bit more relieved as my paper is coming close to an end and I'm starting to figure things out. I haven't finished it yet but it's starting to make sense and things are connecting together in my head, I just need to put it all on paper. This is probably my most challenging class of all at the moment but I feel that if I can write this paper and have it be what the professor is looking for or close to it, then I'm going to be super happy with myself.

tuesday

gotta go to work in a hlf hr.. gay
i'm at my friend mitch's house. and he just cut off a piece of my hair with a knife cuz he apparently thought it was funny. it was not
and i couldn't even fight back cuz my abs are so sore
I did strength and conditioning yesterday with my students and it was redic hard
we did all kinds of jumps and push ups, planks, wall sits, tons and tons of pilates ans situps
omg so sore.
ow.

more and more

As i continue to work on this paper I seem to get more and more frustrated with it because I feel that no matter what I do I'm still going to need more of the 1st and 4th course goal since that is what we all need to improve on no matter how well written our paper is already. I hope that everyone going to mifflin this weekend have a good time because I will not be able to go because of this project for another class, plus the financial situation, plus making sure everything is good with my paper including enough "academic inquiry" that is supposedly not what I have in paper right now..

frustrating...

errrrghhh...i hate school...

Curves

In three of the classes I'm taking this semester, my professor has made it clear that no one in the class is doing as well as he/she would have hoped and that there will end up being a large curve on our final exam / overall grade. This seems to be a continuing trend in the past 3 semesters. As the classes get harder the curves become bigger and bigger. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the help, as does my GPA, but shouldn't some kind of change be made. If no one's doing well the professor either hasn't done a very good job of covering the material,or the exams are much too hard, most likely its usually a combination of both. Even though I hate to admit it, when I KNOW there is going to be a curve on an exam I usually try less hard in preperation for the exam, mostly because I usually do pretty well on exams and If I know theres a curve its enabling me to put less effort into it and still receive the grade I'm looking for. (Man what would rickert have to say about all this?)

Basically I think the biggest problem is professors are attempting to really push there students to learn, and then caving when they fail to meet their expectations. There are two solutions, cover the material slower, and more in depth to allow for some real learning and give a chance for students to do better on an "easier" exam. The other option would be to make it clear from the get go, that there will be no curve, that everything covered in class is going to be tested on, and force the student to push themselves and do well in a hard class. (or fail)

Some sort of debate on this topic could probably be pretty interesting if a few people chimed in..?

One week left of English

I can't believe there will be only one week left of class, and I hope my essay will pass because i dint want to take this class over again. Brandi we still need to get dinner one of these nights, get on the blog and write back.

2010 Governors Elections

I was just looking at the news about the Governor's race. I'm not sure who to vote for come November because I don't like any of them, especially Scott Walker. I wish that somebody else would run that I actually like. These elections bring out some of the dirtiest tricks that you can think of and I hope that at least one election race does not, but I know that won't be the case for the Governor's race. If Barrett is elected Gov., who will take the Mayor's job? Who will be the new County Exec. if Walker wins? What does Neumann do anyway? Well all I can do is that the canidate with the intent of helping the state, not themselves, will win.

Neglecting

I have been completely neglecting to post on the blog. It just isn't something that I'm use to doing! Plus this paper has kept me plenty busy, among other things. It's scary how the semester is coming to a close. I feel like everyones in a scrabble to do one thing or another for next year. Whether that be picking classes, figuring out a place to live, getting second jobs, everything is chaos. But pretty soon we'll be done with this paper and things will be begin to settle. I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather we're having!

Good luck with the remainder of the class!

DTV and Entertainment in General

What is the point of DTV? It is a useless, unentertaining piece of nothing that wastes money. I actually prefer the regular channels that were around before DTV. They claimed their would be new channels, but I knew that the channels they would put would be on things that nobody watched like the traffic channel. The only channel that I kind of liked was the one that plays movies, but the movies began to suck. They put on shows that were canceled before I was born and they don't show more than 10 episodes of each show, so you are watching reruns every two weeks from a show that is in black and white. If people want to protest all the spending that is done, protest this piece of crap, DTV.

Entertainment in general has declined. TV, music, movies and other things have seemed to be so predictable. The only thing that you see on TV is reality shows, which are more scripted than many of the comedic shows. Everybody gets a dating show and everybody watches it as if this is entertaining, but I can't really watch any TV because I can't take watching crap. The only shows I watch are the original Law and Order, Law and Order:SVU, all three CSI's, Criminal Minds, and sports.

Music has taken a turn for the worse, but there are many good artists left. I don't really know anything about rock, pop, or country, but the genres I do know about have been deteriorating. Everything has become so cliche filled and corny that the future of the genre is in jeopardy. All it takes is a stupid catch phrase to become famous and I would not mind it as much if the artists had much more to same than repeating that same phrase over and over. I miss music I used to hear in the 90's that seemed like they actually put an effort forth to create their music.

Movies have become so predictable that when you see the trailers, you already know how it is going to end. I'm especially sick of these "romantic comedies". THEY ARE NOT FUNNY OR ENTERTAINING. It's usually the same people in the same genre of movies, too. I use to love the variety of movies when I was younger. There were the Jean Claude Van Dammes, Steven Stegal, Jackie Chan, for action, Jim Carrey and a bunch of other people for comedies, and there were a bunch of other actors who acted in different genres.

I don't know, I guess change is necessary.

miss how fooking easy highschool was!

While we didn't have class I actually had a productive day. I went to Chemistry lecture and got an extra point on my 3rd exam, which brings my grade up to a 40 out 44. I got two Chemistry assignments done for tomorrows discussion. I did two ethnics journals, which took like 2 hours. I revised my research paper, reflective essay, and participated in the class blog! And now I am trying to make way on some Psychology. I fooking hate Psychology!!!!

Tomorrow I am going to be at it again. I need to get up at 7 and start Psychology again until 10 when my English conference starts. Hopefully I get feedback from Adam saying that I either met the course goals or that I have very little left to do in order to pass or receive a good great on my final research paper.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SUMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

New Leaf

From now on I will try to use my blog entries for more serious purposes like how I feel about certain things happening in the world. First, the Arizona Law. I don't like it even though I understand that the immigration seems to be a problem for some people. This is a dream come true for anyone who dislikes anyone of a certain ethnic background or anyone who is not like them. This law would allow mostly cops to have authority to question the citizenship of anyone who they expect of being an "illegal alien," but this is just plain dumb. I get that some people don't like that many people come to America the "proper way." But why don't those same people go live in Mexico with no ID, no electricity, no S.S. #, no knowledge of what is needed to become a citizen in America and then try to "properly come to the U.S." Time is not on the side of many of these people who might live in some place that none of us can imagine, while trying to provide for a family with no resources or help from their government. They can't just sit around and wait for the government to allow them to come in. The government won't let them in if they don't have all the proper paperwork and all that other stuff, so how can someone who can't afford to feed their family get all these things in order?

I get that the U.S wants to know who is in the country and makes sure that they are not harmful, but why aren't there checks done on those born here? The U.S. is home to some of the most sick, ignorant, dangerous people, but because they were born within the borders, they get a pass. I never understood the argument that the so called illegal aliens are stealing jobs from people. Lots of these jobs were here for years and STILL ARE , but many Americans thought they were too good to take them. It kind of reminds me of little toddlers who don't want to play with a toy until they see another toddler playing with it. Lots of these immigrants are some of the most reliable, hardworking, and grateful workers in the country, unlike many people born here who are so spoiled and use to getting their way. I definitely don't have a problem with them coming to work, but I do have a problem with the people who take advantage of them by paying them next to nothing and making it seem as if they are doing them a favor. I think people should help them get citizenship, but I don't even think that is the root of their problems with them. I think that in many cases, they just don't like anybody who is not from America whether they come legally or not and this illegal immigration is just a smokescreen for some.

What I find especially funny is that many of the people opposed to it are those who might have never have done real work in their life. Some of these people inherited money or come from families with money and would not even know what it means to work. Also, it becomes annoying when people just repeat what they hear on TV or what they heard someone else say. If you feel that way about immigration, I can respect that, but at least come up with your own original thoughts rather than regurgitating everything because I can find a parrot who can do that.

I Don't Know

I keep getting random thoughts in my head so I guess this is the best place to spit them out. UWM is one of the most dull and uninteresting campuses ever. All everybody does is sit in their rooms playing video games or plays basketball. Does this ever get old? It feels like groundhog day or at least a nursing home because nothing ever changes. College is supposed to be fun, but some of the people that I have meet are so boring and dry that I just go to class and anytime in between, I leave off campus and just go through the city and find things to do. This city has a lot of things to do even though it does not seem like it, all people have to do is get away from the Eastside and explore other parts of the city. Go downtown, it's always something there.

Bored

Just sitting in my room watching the Simpsons on Hulu while trying to get this blog done. At around 8:00 tonight I guess I'll be going to the CEO meeting. I have a lot of things to get done with that and that group will be something come next year. Is anybody else in a student org. on campus because it seems like the only people who are involved are the Jrs., Snrs., and Grad students and I don't get why. It seems like the people who do join only do so in name only and never participate or show up, but put it on their resume, when that can actually hurt them more than it helps because it shows that they might not be serious or committed even though I understand lots of these groups are kind of boring.

Summer Classes

I was hoping to take summer classes so I won't have as a hectic fall or spring semester, but it sucks that the FAFSA doesn't cover it. I also hate that after what happened with all the banks in 2008 and 2009, there are very little student loans that students can get. My first year of college, I had no problem getting one and I did not have a co-signer or credit, but the upside to that is that UWM isn't expensive at all. The downside to that upside is that UWM, like any other college, has expensive books and unnecessary things that students have to buy. I don't get why we cant use books from the previous year; they say the exact same thing and the only change in the books are the years and a few pages might be added. I also hate those clicker things. They' re almost $40 and instead of using them to get participation points, the questions could be asked online or something. I had to spend about 775 dollars on books alone this year, not including having to pay for online grading programs for Spanish or a poetry dictionary, or even a$20 booklet that looked like a three year old made it.

School year

The second semester always goes faster than the first and this year, it zoomed by again. I can't wait to take a break from everything, but I am not looking forward to the weather. It always gets too hot outside to do anything and there are always those ozone advisories. I hate the summer for that reason and also the fact that there is little to do that I have not already done during a Milwaukee summer. I want to leave the state for the summer because everything is a little too routine for me and I want to see all the big cities like New York, Phillie, D.C., or even San Francisco. I am also not looking forward to all the hectic things next year either. I will have about six or seven classes each semester and will be part of about 6 different on campus orgs. I guess being part of all the different orgs. allows me to meet people outside of my major and I get to meet people I don't see everyday in class.

Mr. Vice President

the vice president, Joe Biden is coming to campus tomorrow along with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. I for one am excited to hear what Geithner has to say, Biden... not so much. Anyway, i don't understand why they are both coming here to speak to us business students when they should be focusing on other problems. I guess i'll figure it out tomorrow!

Research Esaay

How's everyones reseach essay and research analysis essay's going? I've been working on mine for a long time now, probably close to 2 weeks. I spent a lot time just re-reading my papers and making corrections with a highlighter and pen, now I'm ending the process of typing them out for our 3rd draft. I think I met the course goals but I guess I won't know for sure until my conference tomorrow. I also think writing the research analysis essay is more tideous than writing the actual essay, anyone else think this? Anyways best wishes to everyone on their research papers.

Blogging

Does anyone else find themselves not checking the blog as much as they used to? When we were first assigned to blog I enjoyed it and I kept current with everything that people were talking about, but now that its critical revision time I don't check the blog as often. It seems if you don't blog for a few days you kind of get lost on what's going on which makes me not want to blog about anything, and it has a snowball effect.

Free Agency

Can't wait for free agency this summer. LeBron might end up staying in Cleveland, but I really don't care about him. I'm curious about Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Shaq, Llgauskas, Dirk Drew Gooden, Josh Howard, McGrady, Yao, Fisher, Farmar, Rudy Gay, D-Wade, Joel Anthony, Reddick, Grant Hill, Amare, Ginobli, Richard Jefferson, Roger Mason, and Boozer. A lot of them might stay with their team, but i am really looking forward to see where many of them go or who is added to their teams to keep them there. The NBA draft is not going to be anything special, but I hope the Bucks get a big man that is reliable and not injury prone.

NBA

Now that the draft is over in the NFL, all my focus is on basketball. The playoffs are reall making me mad. The Spurs won last night; the Mavs were up by double digits, but ended up losing and I am tired of the Spurs. I 'm tired of Tim Duncan, I like Ginobli, but I want him to play somewhere else, and all of the teams who are supposed to be losing are winning. Oklahoma City should have been gone, Utah should have lost the series, Phoenix should have won the series too. Wade exploded last night, he just couldn't miss from three. I kind of want some players like Melo, Steve Nash, Dirk, Amare, Grant Hill to win a ring because time is not on their side.

conferences

anybody have their conference yet? If so did he destroy your hopes of getting a good grade or just the opposite?

This weekend was pretty good, to start Friday I went to the Brewers game which was a lot of fun as always. The only problem was, the Brewers lost badly to the damn cubs. On Saturday I was in Illinois helping my Grandma get her house ready to be sold in the near future. It went pretty good, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Also note worthy the bucks won on Saturday night making it now a 2-1 series, still down 1 game in the series to Atlanta. The bucks play to night again and lets hope they can square the series up at 2 apiece. Also the Brewers start a new series tonight against the Pirates, which should hopefully be a good thing, cause we usually handle them with an ease. Not to much else going on just another start to another week, and still have things to get done for many classes, fun fun.

Charge of the Light Brigade and Blind Side followup

I saw this and it reminded me, straight up, of the english 102 goals.

Charge of the Light Brigade.”

The Charge of the Light Brigade
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

1.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

2.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

3.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

4.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

5.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

6.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

Quote from Blind Side-

Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don't. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn't at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up, and joining with the other side? I mean, valley of death that's pretty salty stuff. That's why courage it's tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you're doing something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason for you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too.

This paper is going to be the end of me. I am so close to finding out how to fix my problems but yet I am no where near it. So, right now I am going to work on just doing citing my sources and giving my brain a rest.

brewers epic fail

So the brewers absolutely sucked this weekend. swept by the cubs is always an embarrassment. We can't score runs against the good teams so i vote we play the pirates every game from here on out. But on a good note the bucks won their first playoff game this year.. mainly because i was in attendance!!! It was an amazing night!

need help!

what do you think is the best way to be sure that the paper will pass 100%? what am doing right now is to go through the paper and see the spots where it fills the requirements for the course goals
