Christmas Break!!!

I am ready for Christmas break to come. We are going to Florida to visit my Grandpa. One of the best parts is that we are in the car for a day and a half. I love long car trips. One of the best parts of visiting Florida is seeing my Grandpa and that it is warmer than back home. My mom is always baking cookies so that is even better. I can always smell the sweet taste of those sugar cookies. Well I know that this is going to be another great Christmas break.

Thanksgiving Break!!

I am going to be spending a lot of time with my family. We might go see Harry Potter. I will start studying for finals. I can't wait to get home.  I can't wait till Thanksgiving Day because the food is always so good. I know that I'm going to be stuffed. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I especially love eating pumpkin pie and turkey during this time of the year. I just can't wait.

Procrastinator!!

I am a procrastinator. I often have a bad habit of finishing papers at the last minute. This is not something that I am proud of, but I know that I have to change this. I know that it would be a whole lot easier on me if   I just do the paper, without waiting into the night before to finish it. So I'm hoping, for papers in the future that I will give myself plenty of time to finish.

Draft Process

I worked on my draft all at once. I did it all yesterday. I think my draft is okay. I know that it needs work. I need to add more and change the wording of my sentences. I began with reasons why I want to ban tobacco and then ended with why not to ban tobacco. I have 3 to 5 sources.

Halloween!!

Halloween is a great Holiday. I mean you get to dress up in costume and you get candy.  I will miss being with my family on Halloween but I will do something for Halloween. I have light up bunny ears, so i'm sure I can figure out a costume to go with them. I wonder what kind of costumes I will see on Halloween. Usually I see mostly little kids, but now its going to be college students. I can't wait until Halloween.

Research Process 10/20/10

So my group picked tobacco as the topic. We have written our research proposal. We have also picked our references to use on our research paper. On our research proposal it explains what our topic is about and how our group is going to split up the work.

Research Process

So far the class has not gotten far in the research process. Today we are going to form our  groups and pick a topic. Then we will figure out what our research question is going to be. We also have to bring a list of topics today, so then we have a variety of topics to choose from.

High School

When I went through high school we only had 4 classes a day for an hour and a half. Now since the levy, my school district now has 7 classes a day. This was a big change for my community back home. I am so glad that I graduated from high school when I did. There were many arguments about this change. I hope that everybody back in my home community is doing okay with the schedule change. The school district also had to let go of a lot of great teachers. The worst thing is we had to get rid of our only Latin teacher, so now there is no Latin for students.

Mark Zupan Presentation

I went to the Mark Zupan Presentation on Tuesday. I liked going to the presentation, but the only thing is he only talked about what was in his book. He didn't talk about anything else. I was expecting that Mark Zupan would talk about other things. Overall though I am glad that I went.

Rainy Day!!

Yesterday was a rainy day. Of course in the morning I had decided to wear flip flops.  This was not the brightest idea. So my feet were a mess from stepping in puddles. I was just lucky enough though that I had brought an umbrella. I had an umbrella but that didn't help as much as I wanted it to. So I learned if you think rain is coming wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind walking in the rain in and of course an umbrella. An umbrella is better than not having one at all.

Friends

Friends are always there for you. Friends are ones that stay in your life for a very long time.  You can always depend on friends. The best thing about friends is that you can trust them with anything. 

Cincinnati

I miss being in the Cincinnati Ohio area. I loved the weather there. There is a place that you can only find in Cincinnati and that is Skyline Chili.  There is so much to do in this area.  Like in Mason there is Kings Island. There are so many great school districts in this area. I loved living in the Cincinnati area, but I also like living in Muncie Indiana.

What its like to be a twin

I love having a twin brother.  His name is Michael. We spent our school years hanging out with each other. I was more of the shy one. So his friends were also my friends. He was always helpful in the math and science department. It is weird being away from him. He is going to the Ohio State University while I'm here at Ball State. I am proud to be his sister because of a graduating class of about 800 he was number 9 in the class. I was about number 130 but that is okay. I miss playing video games with him but I'm still having fun here at Ball State. I am trying to get a new reputation here because back at my high school I was just known for being his twin sister. I may have been shy, but Michael is the most outgoing person I have ever known. That is what I love best about him. I love being around him because at times he is such a goofball.

Ball State Activities

I am joining CRU at Ball State!
