Well I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas (or holidays) and a safe and happy New Year. Mine was not as amazing as it would like, but it was pretty good.
I had my two days of Christmas with my family Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The Friday after Christmas I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I was drugged for the biggest part of the week. But my New Years Eve was pretty boring. I went shopping the first part of the day then I spent the rest of the night at home with the family. My New Years day was probably the best I've ever had. The first part of the day I went hunting with my dad, the second part was when it got good. I came home and ate the traditional southern New Years meal, black eyed peas, but then something amazing happened. Around 10 that night I had an amazing guy message me on Facebook and we've been talking everyday since. He is a really amazing guy, pretty much the male version of me... only thing different so far is he likes the cowboys and I like the steelers and redskins. Lol but we will make it.
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend.
Bye!

Exams
Hey everybody!
So this week is exam week for every one at Richard Bland. I only had five exams to take this semester. I did my RBC 101 exam quite a while ago, but I had four this week back to back to back to back. First was my Western Civ that I had yesterday. Today I have my Music Apparition exam. Tomorrow I have my Fitness and Wellness, and finally I have my Religion exam on Thursday. I think my Western Civ was probably my hardest exam, but I will treat them all the same. You never know. . . Your easiest class could turn out to be the hardest exam. Why I was thankful when Sweeney said we didn't have an exam in his class. That was my easiest class this semester. Thank you Mr. Sweeney! Well I have to go study for my exam. I wish everyone good luck with exams, if you have them, and I wish everyone a good day!

Done!
Well everyone it's finally here. The last post I'm required to post for class, but don't be upset. I promised I would continue this blog, and you can ask anyone, I don't break promises.
Well everything is starting to slow down. Week after next are finals, and I'm so thankful that Mr. Sweeney doesn't have a final in his class. All we have to do is write the last paper. That's the only issue that I have right now. We have to general topic we have to write on, Family, but I'm having so much trouble picking on a smaller topic to write about. There are two possible topics I could write about, but the problem is I don't know how I could make them into an arugmenative paper. The two are very close to me, and I feel that it will be very emotional when I write either of theses topics.
My life this past week has been interesting. Been hunting with my dad every chance I get, cause as I said in my last post it's really the only time I feel like I get to spend time with him. So the outcome of me hunting all the time. . . I don't get to go out as much. Just more time I get to spend on my school work.
It's been a very yucky day here in good ol' Virginia. It's raining at the moment, and everyone knows cold and wet do not mix well. . . unless you don't count a dogs nose. Thats the only time cold and wet do mix well. Well I'm going to relax for a while. I just finished taking a final, and I've already had a test and a quiz in the same class today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Catching Up
So first off I must apologize for my laziness on posting. I have been so busy lately with classes and my life outside of school I have been putting off typing a new post. But I must type 10 post in order to get a grade for my English class... I believe this would be post number nine. So I've got one more post after this and then I'm done for the class. But as I promised I will try my hardest to continue to post as time goes on. So lets catch up from where we left off.
Well since October a lot has gone on in my life, as well as in class. In class we have done a lot of new grammer shammers, and we have started to do group readings. The group readings have been really interesting to read, and they really make you think. We also had a new paper to write. It was on crime and punishment. I wrote my topic on how the drinking age should be lowered. I think it should be lowered because, our generation is already drinking and most of us aren't 21 yet. Also wrote it on the fact that there are several arrests everyday for under aged drinking. My thinking... lower the drinking age and you'll get people who don't care about drinking as much.
Now my life as been quite interesting these past few weeks. Hunting season has started, which is awesome. Pretty big deal for me because, this is the only time of year I feel like my dad and I really bond (I am the only one out of me and my sister that will go hunting). But most importantly my family has really started to come together, and I gotta say.... I like having all my family together again.

Death and Torture
Kinda a spooky title I know. But that is what the readings were on that we had this week. Guess Sweeney is getting us in the mood for Halloween.
So Tuesday was the day we talked about death. I will admit I did not read the reading, but we had a good time in class talking about it. The reading was about this guy that had gotten the death penalty. I do not know why he got that, but the story goes on to say that while he is on death row he changes and becomes a better person. But in the end he still dies. So we talked about if we thought the death penalty was a good or bad thing. We concluded that the death penalty is good in certain cases like for serial killers, or for those who are mentally unstable and cannot be released into the world. We then talked about if the death penalty was just a way of reducing the people in prisons (if it was cheaper to kill them for keep them in jail for life).
Thursday was when we talked about torture. Again I did not read like I should have, but oh well. From what I got the reading was about if torture was the right thing to do or not. I think in some cases you need torture. But anyway Sweeney had us split into two groups and debate about it. Again my class seems to get too involved in these debates and I thought we were going to have a fight on our hands. We then did a grammar shammer, but at the moment I do not remember what it was about.
Overall it was a good week in class. Cannot wait to see what this week brings.

Fall Break
So this week we only had one day of class cause we had fall break. Did not really do much in that one class. Main thing we did was turn in our papers. Do not know how many people turned in their papers on Tuesday, but I turned mine in.
Other than turning in our papers we had to go through this PowerPoint that I do not remember one thing about what so ever. (Sorry Mr. Sweeney!) Then we went over another PowerPoint, but this time he did it in Prezi., which I hardly remember anything about too. All I remember was the moving of the topics making me feel a little sick to my stomach, because they were moving so fast and all over the place. For those that do not know what Prezi is, it is an over the top way of doing a PowerPoint. It is kind of cool, but after a while it kind of gets a little boring. We were supposed to have a reading that day too, but since over half the class did not read it, or like me they did not know about it, we just skipped over it all together. Anyways that is about it for this one. Hope everyone has a good work week this week.

Week Back
So this week we had class like normal. Felt kind of weird since we didn't have class any last week. It wasn't long however until we fell into our normal routine.
On Tuesday we had a bit of a slow start. We finally got into our grammar shammer groups, and talked about our pop culture papers we had been working on. I have four people in my group so we split up the days we would talk about our papers. The one guy in our group did his paper on the refs from the NFL that went on strike. I liked his paper and felt it was a good current topic. Next was one of the girls in our group who did her paper on students that go to school year round. I liked her paper. (Sorry to the people in my group who's names I didn't put, I did not want to spell your names wrong)
On Thursday in was back to our normal class routine. We played a game on the computer, then went on the grammar shammer. After that we went back into our groups and finished up talking about our papers. I started off with my paper talking about how rap music is more vulgar than country music. I am not saying rap music is bad (I listen to rap just as much as country) I was just saying it uses curse words more often. The next paper we talked about was Haley's. She talked about how pro athletes were getting paid too much, and I agree with her. I believe that it is wrong that an athlete can make millions of dollars in one year, but the leader of our country only makes $400,000 per year.
