Everything

The past few english classes we have been tutored over how to research some of our topics. I believe this is a really good idea because most teachers do not put the time in to show you how to research. In high school there are numerous teachers who never taught students how to research a topic other than telling you to use google. Most college students going into college do not know how to research, myself included, and it's nice to see a professor taking the extra step and giving us the tools and instruction to do research. I believe this instruction will help all of us write a better paper and will allow us to "back up" our papers with more and reliable information. Now, with looking at different websites and databases I have noticed there are few research sites that allow you to find everything you need for your paper. It would just be easier if they would create a website where you can find everything for your paper, but then again that thought is unrealistic. Again, I'm glad english class is going good and that things are appearing to work out for themselves.

spring break

Did you know there are things that drive me crazy while I'm on spring break? It's having to do homework, dealing with drama (I mean come on we're in college for crying out loud), and doing things I don't want to do. Spring break is supposed to be a time away from everything else and should allow you to "recharge you batteries", as my parents used to say. Well all I have to say is that for me to be "recharged", I need about another week of just sleep, eat a lot better foods than just junk food, and turn off my phone and e-mail for about a month. This spring break is good in some areas, don't get me wrong, but there are certain things this year that I will not mention which are driving me insane!!! I just wish some people thought like I did and just relaxed for one full week, instead of taking care of all their problems at this time. Seriously people, I know it's hard but for once in your life, just sit back, relax, and quit starting drama that doesn't need to be started!

baseball

so today we won the series against Mcmurry and are starting conference with a 2-1 record. It's a good start but not the one we were hoping on getting; we were wanting to win three games straight. But it's ok i'm glad we got ahead in the first conference series. My family came to the games, which is a good thing, but the bad part is that i have hw over spring break and i will probably not get caught up on sleep. This school year has been really hard on me, and i am close to breaking down. To say the least, i just need a break. But summer is just around the corner and it will be fun and exciting seeing all my friends from my home town.

college readiness

Throughout our english class we have been overlooking other people's papers and telling them how they could improve on their papers. I have found good techniques in listening to other people's ideas and hoave found myself becoming a better writer. I just hope everyone else can learn from me as much as i do from them. All in all english class is helpful and really makes me focus on my writing skills.
One reading we went over on our own was the reading called "Patriots". I thought this reading was really interesting and was surprising in then end. However, even though the overall story was good, the end was a bit depressing.....
