Spring Break 2010

The photos below were taken at Cocoa Beach Pier in Cocoa Beach, Florida, where I spent a few days relaxing on the beach. Although I complained the whole way, because this was my first ever real road trip and drive longer than four hours, the 4o-ish total hours driven back and forth were well worth it.

Besides spending time on the beach I also got to: spend time with my immediate family, who recently moved to Orlando, Florida, take an air boat ride/tour on the supposed "most gator infested lake in Florida", go bowling at the craziest all-in-one bowling alley/arcade/club/bar I've ever seen, disc golf at an awesome park on an 80 degree, sunny day, mini golf, shop, sleep in, and most importantly, relax and ignore anything school or work related for a week.

My Spring Break

So far ive been really bullshitting this break off, I've been doing my own thing and gettin much needed rest! Im taking this break as a F*ck You to all homework and school work.

Assignment for Friday

Does anyone else have a hard time writing these smaller assignments? I guess by smaller assignments, I mean the ones leading up to our research paper, where we are analyzing and discussing our sources. I keep finding relevant information, but I don't know how to put it down on paper, explain it and discuss how it's going to be useful in my final paper. I have pages of notes and my articles printed out filled with highlighting and more notes, but I am having a hard time actually writing the paper. Any suggestions? Or similar concerns?

Or maybe you're all already playing the English 102 Drinking Game on this Thirsty Thursday and don't really care about the homework??

Anyone in the same boat as I am?

For example, I gave the example earlier of the student who has the following research question: Why has extremist religion become such a problem?

And she has stated that she plans to use the ideas of philosopher Immanuel Kant, from one of his famous essays on religion, in order to analyze “extremist” Christianity or Islam. That is how she plans to generate answers to her research question.

This will lead her, when she is ready, to her statement of controlling purpose which will appear in the introduction of her Research Essay:

“In this essay I will analyze the rise of extremist Islam in the modern world using the Kant’s ideas about religion in order to understand what social, economic, and cultural factors fuel religious extremism.”

" Here is me quoting the instructor from an email, I believe everyone should have received.

It is apparent that her topic is extremist religion.

Here's where my part comes in....

I am writing on video game addiction, specifically MMORPGs, games like World of Warcraft for those of you who have no idea what MMORPG means.

I am not going to spend time talking about this, I know a lot of you really don't give two craps about what I have to say about my topic.

Anyways, I am still on the phase of just having my topic, video game addiction. In what I quoted above, this writer is using the "philosopher Immanuel Kant" to explain her topic.

Pretty much what I am getting at is that I just have my topic, I do not have my Immanuel Kant yet. Yes I have sources, but none of them can be used in a bigger picture like Kant is.

Damn, that sounded a lot better in my head, hope it makes sense to some of you.

Does anyone have their controlling purpose yet? Is it a good idea to get a source with a sociological or psychological background to assist us in inquiry? ...Inquiry, like all of us know exactly what that means now.

Anyone around the same level of progress as I am?

Emails

There is only 1 specific email I want in my inbox. The approval of my internship application. Everything else can be put in the trash.

umm yeah

So yeah basically 19 credits is consuming my lifeeee. but if you work hard you play hard and someday i plan to be a architect. so eyah, dont really have time to be chillin on this blog asking for opinions right meow. :-) hope everyone has a good day!

Topic

So my research topic is Marijuana. The history, uses, hemp products, crime related to it, legalization, and its future. I was just wondering what people have to say about marijuana, whether you know someone who has benefited from its medicinal purposes or you know someone who it a casual user. what are your ideas about legalizing? Should it be legalized for recreational use? What do you think would happen if it was legalized?
