Writing Project

I think so far this project could be the most fun project we have been assigned so far. My mind is nerding out on all of the directions I could go with in this paper. I'm thinking of every angle and twist and turn I could take to make this paper awesome. My mind is racing with the potential genres I could take just trying to do something no one else can think of doing. I am embarrassed/excited to say that i will most likely be spending a lot of time, or at least a lot of thought, on this project just trying to make it the best that I can. I'm bringing this all the way to the edge. I'm........excited.

Halloween

Halloween weekend is here and the only problem is that I don't know what I should be for the festivities. I'm thinking maybe I could go as the best interpretation of a celebrity I can pull together or maybe going as a ninja. Both would be pretty fun and relatively easy to pull together on such short notice. I think maybe I should ask  a couple of my friends and head out to Wall-mart or Goodwill and create something easy so that I don't spend a lot of time on it. I love halloween so that I can see everyone's costumes and see what everyone can think up. Hopefully I can think of a really good halloween costume and make really easy so I can have fun this weekend with my friends.

Research Process

In my research process so far I have chosen my group, picked a topic, found sources, and I wrote my proposal. In my group there is Taylor, Jake, and I and we work well together. We work well because we get things done when they need to be done. The sources that we picked work well too because they deal with our topic which is the reformation of the Catholic's contraception policy. In our sources they talk about the current Catholic policy and the argument against that policy. For our proposal we included four of the sources and turned them in online.

The people I am partnering with for the research paper are Taylor Wells and Jake Snider. In deciding what our topic is going to be we have googled and come up with ideas on our own. Three topics that we have narrowed it down to are "Born Gay," "Assisted Suicide," and "Catholic Church's Contraception Policy." These three topics we have figured would give us the most information and ideas to write about.

For "Born Gay" we would be discussing whether or not you are born with your sexual orientation predetermined through biology.

For "Assisted Suicide" our paper would be written about whether or not doctors should be allowed to assist patients with death in times of very poor health.

For "Catholic Church's Contraception Policy" we would write about if the Catholic church should amend the idea of Catholic's not using contraception to control unplanned or unwanted births.

Classes

I've been feeling really neglectful lately but not on purpose. Sadly, this week I missed two Spanish classes and one English class and I haven't been studying well at all for my Spanish and Econ classes. I am having a difficult time preparing for class, also. I just feel like I'm falling behind and it keeps building and spinning out of control into something that is not going to end well, grade-wise. Luckily, I'm catching this now, right before midterms so that I can lock down and do what I need to so I can hopefully get my grades up by the end of the semester. I just feel like time is flying by really quickly and I don't have enough time to get my grades where I want them to be. Hopefully I can take control of the situation and make my grades what I want them to be.

A not so great start to my day.

Today has been a not so great day. I stayed up all night last night trying to complete my spanish homework assignment that was due today, not the best planning strategy but there was no changing that in the last minute. I did a lot of translating and planning and once I met up in class it turns out what I did was only half of what I was required to do to complete the assignment. On top of that my legs and stomach are sore from doing flips for a couple of hours the night before with some people on my floor. All of that was pretty depressing but what really made my day just that much worse was that on the walk back from my spanish class my shoe lace broke so I had to walk back up four flights of stairs, still sore, change my shoes, and head back to class. The good thing about today, though, is that it's friday! And I heard Happy-Friday Guy for the first time. So hopefully things will get better.

Weekend

So far this weekend was pretty fun. It was mostly just hanging out with a couple of people from my floor but that is still pretty fun. I'm going to the game tonight and hopefully we do pretty well. I didn't go to the last game, unfortunately, because the game was on a Thursday which made it an inconvenience for people to go with me, so I just chilled in my room. What is pretty awesome though is that it feels like today is Sunday but really it's Saturday and I have another day before classes start up again for another week. I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow, probably just wally-ball, racquetball, and more hanging out. Judging by how everything is going so far, this year is going to be pretty great.
