In English this week:

Monday we got in our peer review groups and went over each This I Believe essay. We gave each person ideas to help them improve their paper. We filled out a sheet with questions on it and went over that wit each person. I liked doing this cause it allowed me to see things that were wrong with my paper that i may not have caught earlier.

On Wednesday We got in our "circle of love" and went over Theon, Kiley, and my paper's. Going into this i was really scared of what people would say about my paper. One of my biggest fears is people reading things that i right, but i really enjoyed this and can see why we do it now. It helped me get an insight from the whole class as to how i can improve on my paper. We talked about Theon's paper and how his his environment has shaped the way he is today. And kylie's paper about how lyrics have impacted her life. Mr. McArdle then told us that we may have a quiz over the readings that were assigned (and i actually read them).

On Friday we really didn't have a quiz. And we went over Tyler's paper and talked about his beliefs and what they mean to him. We also discussed Tanya's essay, i thought it was really well written and i could relate really well with it. We weren't able to go over Ed's paper cause he wasn't there but i thought he too had a very well written essay. We were then assigned to read the readings again so we'll se if we actually have a quiz today :)

Groovaloo!!

So i went and saw groovaloo tonight and WOW!!! They were amazing it was soo neat seeing them do all of those neat moves and it was really cool to see how they combined dance into their own stories. You could really see that dance is something that comes from within them. It's crazy to me how someone can physically move there body in that way. I've always enjoyed watching hip-hop like that and this was probably one of the best things that i've ever seen. If you don't know what groovaloo is look them up on youtube cause there worth seeing. 

This I Believe

I really enjoyed doing this assignment. It made me think about my life and what i actually believe in. When the assignment was first introduced to us i was kind of scared because i was thinking of what i do believe in and i couldn't really think of anything. Especially one that was life changing for me. After a while it hit me that my beliefs play a role in my life everyday. Everybody believes in something because everyone has an opinion. I wrote about something that i firmly believe in CHANGE. It has played a major role in my life especially in certain situations. 

Facebook..

So every time i try to be productive and get all of my homework done right away i find my self logging on to facebook. I loooove facebook i think it is a great thing. It allows you to keep in contact with people you haven't seen or talked to in forever or friends from back home. But it's so distracting at the same time. I like going on there and seeing what everyone's doing or what they did the past weekend, and i know everyone else does it too. There's a lot more to say about it but i'm being distracted right now by it :)

Public or Private??

All my life i've gone to private schools from Pre-K to my senior year of high school. I went to Crown Point Christian School and then for high school i went to Illiana Christian High School (weird name i know but it's on the border of Illinois and Indiana hence Illiana). So being at ball state this is my first time that i've ever gone to a public school. And i have to say that it is pretty different. The first time i noticed the difference was when i went to orientation i heard some of the people in my group talking about things that happened at there high school like hangings, people having sex in the halls, and so much more. It was weird to hear all of this, because i never experienced this. It made me kind of scared to think of what i was getting myself into. Being at a private school i felt as if i've been sheltered all my life in a way. And we have this thing at my high school called the "Dutch Bubble" because like everybody at my school is Dutch including me so people get stuck in the "Dutch Bubble" and can't get out it's weird lol. Anyways i've really enjoyed the public school experience it opens my eyes to so many things and i feel as if that is something that you need because this is the real world and not the "Dutch Bubble".

Fist Week Dowwwwn

Sooo the first week of class is over now. I always get really nervous for it cause i don't really know what to expect all the time. But it's over now and i have the rest of the semester to enjoy. I can't believe how much homework i've already gotten this week. I already have a paper due and a ton of other little assignments that were due throughout the week. But so far i'm really enjoying my classes, but i especially am happy about the time schedule about them all. Last semester i had a couple night classes and my classes were all spread out during the day. But this semester has gone really well so far. 

Not only has the classes been fun this week but this weekend has and will be fun. Last night my friends and i went laser tagging lol at this place called Play Station really close to school. It was sooo much fun. And today i might go shooting with my friend in anderson. Sunday i'm going out with my girls for my birthday dinner. So i'd so overall this weekend and week were a success!! :)
