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.

Akron Ohio 11/5

Akron's soccer field was the nicest soccer field I have ever played on. The grass was shorter than the turf at Waldo Stadium, the patterns of fresh cut grass were easy to spot out. The environment was unreal, with bleachers surrounding the field and locker rooms under the stands it felt like a professional environment. When the sounds of 5,000 people filled the air it gave me goosebumps and motivated both sides of the field.

Our game plan was to get a tie, so the entire game our team sat in and defended. With four minutes remaining the number 1 team in the nation scored a heart breaker to the team. Our season was over and although I still have three more years that game for the seniors will be their last.

Akron Ohio

November 3rd could be the last day of our season. Today we travel to Akron Ohio where we will stay the night at a hotel, then at 7 o'clock p.m. tomorrow the game will start. The game is important because only the top four teams in the Mac make the Mac tournament at the end of the season. Currently there are 4 teams trying to get into 3 open spots. Akron will take the first seed and Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, West Virginia, and Western Michigan are fighting for those 3 spots. Tomorrow we play Akron, ranked number 2 in the nation Akron is having a great year this year and is arguably one of the most successful programs in soccer for the past 5 years. We must win or tie, and Bowling Green must beat West Virginia if we want a chance at holding the MAC title. With the odds stacked against us, we will see if our season ends or still is on after tomorrow night.

Class on the 1st

Class on the 1st was a peer review day, I think this is very helpful when the peer you are working with is honest and does not care to write something bad about the paper. If they just put they like it or it was good, it is a waste of time. The peer review in class went well I was able to point out a couple of mistakes from other peoples paper as they did with mine as well. One annoying reoccurring word I noticed was the name Paddy in my paper. By just listening to my paper being read aloud I could hear the repetitiveness. I definitely will be making some changes to my paper, the peer review session was very helpful.
