In-Class #8 The Wal-Mart Shooting

Detective: Today at Wal-Mart there was an accident around 8:30pm. A twelve year old female was shot just inside her local Wal-Mart. The young girl was helping her mother carry out groceries when a man tried to commit a crime by stealing items from the checkout line. He was armed with a gun and two knives. Police arrived at the scene when the man refused to cooperate when they tried to arrest him. The man then opened fire and shot the girl twice. Ambulances arrived on scene, and tried to revive the girl. The twelve year old was pronounced dead on the scene. The robber was then taken into custody where he is waiting on bail. The trial date has not yet been established.  

Career Choice #3 -My Bakery

So, yet again, I have changed what I want to do with the rest of my life. This is something completely different than the other things I have said, but I have always wanted to do it, but put it to the back of my mind until now. I want to open a bakery. Yes, a bakery. Sounds completely dumb considering I am going to college for financial services, and want to be a musician too. Baking has always been a hobby of mine, though. I love to bake! I especially love to bake with my friends. My one friend, Lindsey, and I want to open a bakery some day. We have actually been talking about it for a very long time. She is currently going to ONU for, oh gosh I forget, I think something medical??? Anyway, she wanted to go to culinary school, but her mom wanted her to get this degree done first. She will go to culinary school, and I am going for finance, so we have all we need, right? (haha) Seriously though, this will happen someday. Someday. I can just imagine the inside. It’s probably going be all bright colors. I love all of the bright pinks and purples, and Lindsey likes the bright greens and oranges. It’s going to be ONE. BRIGHT. BAKERY! I can’t wait, I am so excited! I feel like this is something that I would love doing everyday and it wouldn’t get boring because we could make all different kinds of baked goods. I am super excited!!

In-Class #6- Vote For Bugs Bunny!

I hate the political campaign season! Ads are everywhere where they should not be. I go to log in to Facebook and it just sitting there staring me in the face all the time. I go onto youtube and I have to watch a stupid ad for thirty seconds before it even thinks about letting my song play. It is so annoying! All these ads do is make me mad and annoy me to death. I do not care about the election at all. I believe that our country is going under no matter who gets elected. To be completely honest I will probably end up voting for Bugs Bunny for President. Maybe if they made things more clearly as to what they are talking about I would have an easier time figuring out who I like most. I wish they would just have a piece of paper with rows of issues on it, and columns of the candidates, and what they stand for on each of those issues. The sooner this election is over the better in my opinion. I cannot stand to listen or watch another political ad. They make me want to vomit all over the place. I JUST WANT TO CHECK FACEBOOK OR WATCH A MUSIC VIDEO IN PEACE!!! Is that too much to ask?? I mean who wants to be interrupted every day for dumb campaign ads? NOT ME that’s for sure!

My Classes #2

I would just like to start off by saying that this blog post is going to be a total rant over my first year experience class, so if you do not feel like reading complaints, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! First of all I would like to say that this class was NOTHIING like I thought it was going to be. I thought it would be more of getting to know the people in the class and doing small group things and discussing college things. Clearly, I was WRONG! I walked into this class the first day expecting to have my first male professor, I was wrong…oops! I sat there reading through the book before class started and thought to myself “what the heck is this crap?!” Then, I thought “well maybe it will be fun?” NOT! I come to find out that we have to read about basically the SAME THING EVERY WEEK, and if sitting through two hours of class every week for this isn’t bad enough, we have to write three journals about the SAME STUFF every week and an ‘Academic Skills Plan’ for something SO DUMB! I literally sit in the class for two hours and think “HOW DO YOU THINK I MADE IT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL?!?!” I have already figured out how things work for me and I DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE THEM! It’s just SO frustrating doing the SAME THING EVERY WEEK! Thank goodness this is only half of a semester. ALMOST DONE!!

My Classes #1

Okay, to be honest, when I first started college I hated it. My first day started on a Wednesday at eight in the morning. Way to start off my day, bright and early. Plus I have a forty minute drive to get there. Anyway, I got into my first class and was so nervous I almost threw up. I was the second person in the room and felt really awkward. The more people that came in the more nervous I got. Did I mention I was in Microeconomics? That probably doesn’t matter too much. I honestly couldn’t believe how many older people there were. We went around the room and shared a little something about ourselves, and it seemed like every person was saying something about their kids, or even GRAND KIDS! I was just kind of sitting there thinking about what to say, I mean all these people had KIDS! So, I felt like the baby in the class when “I just graduated high school” came out of my mouth. Anyway, this microeconomics class is going to be the ABSOLUTE DEATH of me. I HATE economics, I hated it in high school too. So far I think I have one of the highest grades in the class though, which isn’t saying much since I failed the first and almost the second test….yeah…. I feel like the professor for that class doesn’t know what she is doing, and I am pretty sure that everyone else in the class would agree. She just switched her teaching method, so we will see how the next few weeks go.  

In Class #5- Smash (Body 1)

The plot is one of the main factors in a TV show. It can be the deciding factor as to if someone likes the episode or not. Transitions are a main part of the plot as well as story lines of each character are very important. If transitions aren’t smooth and defined then the people watching it will have a hard time following what was happening. In the Smash episode the transitions where very smooth. The viewer will have an easy time following all of the characters and their purpose. Smash has a tendency to switch scenes, characters, and story lines, but the clear navigation to where you are going helps with that. In the specific episode, Bombshell, of Smash there was a time transition as well. Unlike most TV shows and movies this time transition was very clear as to how far back it went, and where it picked back up again. Even though the time transitions and scenes were very clear in the plotline of this episode, the some of the storylines were not finished. To be specific, the ending scene where we see “want to be” Marilyn holding a container of pills. We never know whether or not she took them and died the way the real Marilyn did. There was also another unfinished story line with the song writer. Was she really sick because of stress and nerves? Or was it something else? No one knows. Even then her family story line did not finish because we never know if her family is going to make it through the rough times that they have had.
