DMZ

We've been reading this graphic Novel in class. It is in comic book form. I find that this type of structure is very interesting. It is hard for me to focus both on the words and the pictures. I miss out on things. I think that this novel is easy to read, not too hard to figure out. I am excited to read the next one. I didn't really know what to expect, but I actually enjoy reading this type of thing. The story and characters are interesting, keeps me guessing at what in the world could happen next.

now in a new class

I don't know if I'm going to do a blog for my English class yet, but I needed a post for English 104. We are reading the road which is a very great, but gloomy book.

Last days of classes

So no more classes this semester. We have finished up the learning process and now move on to the applying it or at least showing that we know it on paper. Finals are arranged as many students study and stay up late trying to cram in that extra bit of information. I have already taken one final, and let me tell you it was not fun. It seemed that everything was jumbled and I didn't know which formula to use with which problem. It was a disaster, but hopefully my grade is still descent because of better previous grades. I have two more finals to take, my English one which is a paper and presentation, and then my sociology one which is 50 questions and I doubt it would be hard. It's not cumulative which relieves me. I think these next two don't worry me as long as I finish that paper.
So last week I failed to post a blog, but I'm hoping that since we haven't had class this week that this counts. So we finally had snow this weekend that didn't actually melt as soon as it hit the ground. Still a puny snow, but still it brightened my Christmas spirits. The holidays are coming fast, and I am so excited to see family and have no school to worry about. During the break for studying my group worked on their project, it's silly and I think it overall gets across what we want it to. I'm ready for Thursday, it's the day I officially have no more anything til January.

Thanksgiving Weekend

So Thanksgiving is a time of family, and a time of thanks. That's why my weekend was spent seeing family and giving thanks for all the great things in my life. I first had dinner with the boyfriend's family and then my dad's side. I went home and slept for maybe two hours and got up for the big day, BLACK FRIDAY. I've never been shopping that day before and my boyfriend's mom goes every year, so I went with them. We got to target for some tvs. I was getting one for my brother, his part birthday and Christmas present. I got one, and was so excited, I was like the second person back to the televisions. I loved it and got some really good deals. I have almost everything bought now. Just a few more things left. I'll have plenty of time to get those few things. So that's what the Thanksgiving weekend consisted of. Some relax and take time to see their relatives, others start the tradition of black friday. I hope that everyone's was great.

Group Project

So for the group project I am writing a paper on male body image. I think it's interesting view seeing that women body image has been looked at several times. I think it's going to pose new ideas and be pretty interesting to write about. I hope the paper is long enough. The project's "broad overview" is "The affect of media universally." I think that I will be able to relate the paper to my group's broad topic.

Behind

I realize I am now behind on posts, I hate missing things and getting behind. I try to stay on top of things. I missed class last Thursday and wish I hadn't. I hear we have some kind of group project thing/presentation. It sounded slightly confusing. I heard a few other people weren't there so hopefully I won't be the only one behind.
