People trying to Drive in Snowstorms

Last night on interstate going into North Dakota, way home from a friends house I could see all these lights. As I got closer I could see a crumpled up car which use to be a size of a box and now it is the size of salt cube. It had spun out and came infront of a semi-truck. The person was air-lifted to the hospital. I was wondering to my self why do people drive so crazy once the snow hits the ground. You see all of there pick-ups and suv's driving like they own the road and dirving fifty mile per hour when its twenty-five. Also talking on the cell phone while the raods are this bad, come on use common sense you not only putting you life indanger, but everybody else around you. People need to learn how to dive smart and retake driversed or there should be cameras in your car to observe you driving. I just don't want to die at the cost of someones studpity. A persons life is worth a lot more than the one you are talking to on the cell phone tell them to hang up and drive and call you when they are back at their desanation.

What happened to the younger Generation

Like Nicole said about the Valentines how her kids didn't take the time to look at all the cards. I remember back when I was in around third grade where we would make these really big boxes of things like computers, the heart box, and all the other neat things. Even with like Halloween we used to put on our costume's and we would walk around the school after lunch in our lines and walk through the older kids classrooms. That was the best thing ever, when i graduated last year they didn't even walk through the school. And the High schoolers watch out for them they are way to cool to dress up for Halloween. I just don't understand what happened to our younger generation.

Valentines Day

Last night I was sitting with my boys on the floor helping them with thier valentines for school. It was fun to see my first grader writing all the names on the different cards and watching trying to spell everyones name right. He was excited to give one to all of his teachers also. My preschooler was making his also, I would write his name on them and he would fold them. I realized that when I was younger that the valentines came with little envelopes and they don't anymore or at least of what I can tell. I was thinking about how much fun I had when I would do them for my class and how I would sit and read all of them and give the speacial cards to that boy I liked. Also I would give my best friends they best card and the people that I didnt like so much I would make sure i wouldnt give them the ones that said "Be Mine' or they might think I like them. My first grader didnt even do that he just signed them, folded them, and gave them a sucker and that was it. So maby its just a girl thing to pick out certain cards to give to that certain someone. Anyway it will be a great and fun day for my son's they get to have a party and eat candy all day!!

Class

I thought the group work we did helped out a little bit. I personally like to work more by myself but some of the advice I received did help. One thing I found difficult about the group work was that I didn't know much about the topics others wrote about, so it was hard to know if the info was in correct order and stuff. I also felt pretty rushed when we were correcting, like we could've used a bit more time.

This week has been uneventful. Monday was a day for relaxing because of President's Day. With this day off from college; I decided to do some, well deserved, sleep. On Tuesday I had to prepare for English 1101. The assignment that was given out for this day, was to write a two to three page essay. I couldn't meet that requirement because of my small hand writing, but I though what I had written down was good enough.

Wednesday was just one of those days were you think things will go right, but they dont. It started off in my Math 1020 course which are instructor gave us two assignments due for Monday. They're both reading assignments that we got to read and work on the questions that are given. Thursday was really nothing special except for the group assignment. Each group needed to find four college internet sites and needed to go over the three Bryson essays to do some comparisons.

Firday has been eventful for the most part. I got into a near miss collision thanks to the icy roads. It freaked me out becuase of how much space was between me and the other vehicle. There was no space between us it was a hair or two at the most. I could turn this into a essay topic about icy roads and about their effects to the world around them, but I'm glad that I didn't crash because I just got my car back.

I found it very helpfull on my essay to here what other people thought of my essay, and give ideas on how to improve it.

Classes working together

I am currently taking college writing, pub speaking, com tech, and sociology. College writing doesnt really play into any of the other classses but pub speaking. They work almost hand in hand. Many of the chapters I have read in both classes talk about lots of the same things. One big one is narrowing topics and making them small enough to fit into a speech or into an essay, and making sure not to ramble on away from the topic or thesis. We make outlines in both classes the same way. Thesis statements along with introduction and closing paragraphs are used almost daily in both classes as well. Its almost like im speeking or presenting an essay in one class and writitng an essay in another.
