Wedding

This weekend my roommate and I are attending our best friend's sister's wedding. We have been so excited and counting down all week! Amanda is a bridesmaid in the wedding, a few of my other friends and I are invited to the reception and it's going to be a blast. I am also excited to go home and see my family again, I also can get more laundry done- finally! It's been years since I've been in/ to a wedding. I am so excited for my best friend's sister and I can't wait for the wedding!

Open Letter Statement

1. I was influenced to write an open letter to Michael Jackson because he is my favorite singer, and I feel very strongly about how much better he looked before he bleached his skin.

2. Michael Jackson was a phenomenal singer and dancer but believed he didn't fit in, I wanted to write him a letter to prove him wrong.

3. Michael Jackson, all though he is dead, I would have liked a response explaining as to why he believed he didn't fit in. He was truly a  stand-out in the music industry and was so great at what he did, I feel he should know that so my letter will be addressed to Michael Jackson giving advice, and explaining to him that he is so much better than he believed he was.

Being Sick

A lot of people I know have been getting sick lately, including myself stuck with strep. My roommate has been sick for about two weeks and now I am. Our friends across the hall have also been sick the past couple weeks, I guess I was just the last to get it. I feel like the out hall should do a much better job on keeping the halls and bathroom sanitary. The bathrooms could be much cleaner as well as the halls. The dorm room is you and your roommates job to clean up not the janitors. There is no such thing as maid service here. A good reason a lot of students are getting sick could be because of the dust collection in the rooms. It doesn't help when the fans are blowing the dust around either from room to room. Any way, I think we should do a better job of keeping out halls and bathroom clean to prevent from getting sick, and for just better sanitation.

Final Draft Responses

I wrote about Thanksgiving and the fall season that is coming up. I was called on to write because of the weather outside. There were leaves blowing, and the air was cool and crisp and I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. It was so nice not to be able to walk to class sweating because of the heat. I established my purpose in great detail about the fall season and whats to come during the seasons, ( the holidays and such). I wanted to have the readers to get an imagination of how they connect to their favorite memories and season, and past childhood. Everyone has a season and environment that relates them to a favorite memory of theirs. I discussed my ideas with my roommate and our friend across the hall and we reminisced about walking to class with a Star bucks cup in one hand, and our leggings and sweaters and boots. When the weather is cool and nice to walk to class to, and there's leaves everywhere. Just the atmosphere is what gets me excited.

The writing hardly took me long to think of at all. I came up with lots of ideas right away without hardly any hesitation. Once you get me started talking on something I love, I could go on forever in great detail without much brainstorming.

Before my rough draft, I made an outline discussing all the things I love about Fall and I made my rough draft off of that. It was pretty easy to follow, and simple to come up with the ideas and memories.

I received some feedback on to much random detail. I immediately fixed that and made my paper more organized and explained my entire day of Thanksgiving instead of jumping around with random Fall facts. I edited and proofread the final draft and was pleased with how much better my final draft sounded. It was so much more organized.

The Weekend

This weekend has been one of the best weekends I've had yet by far. We had so many old friends come up and visit for the entire weekend and it was so much fun! One of our best friends stayed with us Friday till Sunday of this weekend, and a lot of or other friends we visited when they came up to visit other friends,but we did see them and hang out with them. We had a lot of fun, and went a lot of places. I hope next weekend is just as much fun as this weekend was! Hopefully all of our friends will come up and visit again very soon, i miss them already and I'm ready for next weekend!

Fall Season

Finally, after this extremely hot summer we've been having, it's about time for some cooler weather. I love Fall, it's my favorite season. The weather, the holiday season, and all the breaks we get! I love the football season and of course Thanksgiving and seeing all my family. It's time to take out the jeans and sweatshirts, finally our dorm rooms won't be so hot and we won't have to sleep huddled up next to a fan anymore. Summer is great in the beginning because school is out and you have no worries! Hanging out with your friends and being by the pool is your main priority. After awhile, the hot heat gets old, especially when you're walking to class and it makes you sweat. It can get pretty uncomfortable in so many situations. I'm excited for Fall break and Thanksgiving break! I'll get to see all my family that I miss, it's the only time a year when I can see all my family that comes down, and all our old neighbors that we play football with every Thanksgiving. I love everything about Fall and I can't wait for summer to over and Fall to start up! :)

This Weekend

This weekend should be a fun weekend. Not only because it is labor day weekend, but I have a lot of fun things to do. First, on Friday I'm going to IU with a couple of my friends from Ball State to see all of my other friends who went to IU! It should be a fun time! I'm coming home Saturday morning to my family, and my aunt and uncle to go to lunch at Scotties. I'm really excited to see my family! Other than homework and tests after that, my night will pretty much consist of hanging out with my friends and being social. We have a long weekend and best of all we have no classes on Monday! I can finally catch up on how much school work I have, considering I am way behind. I can't wait for the weekend!
