last class

Prior to class yesterday I had no idea how to use foot notes correctly. I have always seen them in pieces of writing but never fully understood how to use them. Class yesterday was very helpful I fell like I learned a lot about foot notes and how to do a notes page. The project seems like it will be a lot of work but class yesterday cleared up some things I was confused about. The donuts at the end of class was a great way to top a great class off. I feel like a learned a lot overall in the class, all of the assignments in the class were new ways of writing and I know I will be better off in my remaining college courses being able to write in all of these different ways.

Climate Change

I was given an assignment in my sociology class to read a book on a social problem. The book I selected was a book on climate change and the social problem that it creates. The book is based on facts and is opinionated however the author presents very mind boggling ideas that need to be heard. The climate change is not a good thing once the ice melts in the Antarctic and when the ice sheets of Greenland are gone the sea level will rise 240 feet. The author says this will be the end of the world. Millions of people who live near water will die all across the world. The poor countries will be hurt the most by the risen water levels, the people living in these countries will need to leave and immigrate into countries that are not as affected. The amount of immigrants coming in will create a economic downfall, and wars will be fought over high land as the climate continues to rise. Causing the end of the world.

After coming back from break I already miss home. The home cooked meals is what I will miss the most. Eating the cafe food this morning was awful compared to my dad's home cooked meals. The only part of breakfast I enjoyed was the coffee. Seeing my family was very nice and now there is only a couple more weeks of school until Christmas break. I need to buckle down in a few of my classes to make sure I end up with the grade I want and need by the end of the semester. Unfortunately during Thanksgiving break I was not able to see a couple of my good friends, because they were busy with soccer. I am really looking forward to Christmas break where I can spend time with the friends I wasn't able to on this past break. I still need to get Christmas presents for my family and hopefully I can find some time to work during Christmas break to make some money for presents. If I buckle down on classes the next break should be a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving was miraculous, the home made meal was extremely delicious. It was a nice break from the bland cafe food that I have to eat every day. In the morning I got some home work done and then made the trip to my moms boyfriends house for the Thanksgiving meal. Unfortunately my Nana was not able to come, she has been pretty sick for the last couple of days. So it was my Papa two sisters mom and her boyfriend, I had a good time and tomorrow I get to look forward to spending time with my dad and Grandma and pretty much have Thanksgiving again. I have no problem having Thanksgiving twice, I get two days of great food but unfortunately I will not have any leftovers because I will be heading back to school. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun and on Saturday I have to work a prospect camp at Western it will be fun because I went to this camp as a prospect and now I get to be a helper at the camp. Another cool part of the camp is I will be getting paid and after the camp I will still have enough time to get back home and spend another night with my family. This weekend will be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to it.

Home

I am so glad I was able to go home today. While playing soccer there is not much time for me to go home, so it is nice that break is here so I can. After I cleaned my dorm room for the room checks I made the trip back to Rockford Michigan, when I got home it was very nice to see my sisters mom and dog. This afternoon was very relaxing I watched a soccer game with my sister and then fell asleep on the couch in the family room. I can not wait until tomorrow, I will get to see the rest of my family from my mom's side. This weekend I will be celebrating Thanksgiving with my dad and I can not wait for that as well. On Friday I am invited to go black Friday shopping with my girlfriend and sister, I am not quite sure if I want to or not so I will see on Friday if I am up to the shopping trip, I do need to buy Christmas presents for a lot of my family so going would save me money.

Class 11-15-12

I thought class on Thursday was very beneficial, I learned a lot about how to create a writing journal for a specific genre. I learned that in the writing journal a lot of similarities kept coming up. The similarities were the purpose of the Horror piece in most cases I learned the purpose in a horror piece is to scare and entertain its audience. I learned a lot of different techniques an author can use, some examples include: use of dialogue and a dense description of the setting. The techniques a author uses can effect how much the piece can scare the given audience.

Home

This past weekend I was able to make a trip back to Grand Rapids Michigan. It is about a hour drive north of Kalamazoo. It was so nice being able to go home, the first night back I watched a movie with my sister and enjoyed a home cooked meal for the first time in a long time. I also was able to hangout with a good friend from back home for the night. Saturday was a lot of fun, it was relaxing as well, I enjoyed watching football with my dad and later that night me my sister and my dad all went to the new Batman movie. The movie was great one of my new favorites. I enjoyed going home and I hope I am able to go back soon.
