writing process

Well I am not too happy about this blog article because writing is not one of my favorite things. It takes me forever to come up with what I want to say and I always end up re changing it after i started. I always brain storm my ideas before I start writing so that I have something to start off of. After brainstorming i try to place info into each paragrpah and then come up with my thesis statement. My thesis statement is always one of the hardest things for me because I never know how to make them interesting. After i finish my thesis i move in to all my body paragraphs. I take them one paragraph at a time so that I do not miss anything or forget to put something in a paragraph. After i finish all body paragraphs i move to the conclusion paragraph. Summing things up is actually something I am semi good at so I don't mind the last paragraph. While I am writing a paper or just thinking in general I like it to be completely silent. That is why I have found Milner to be my new home away from home. It is my favorite place to get all my work done and you know no body is going to bother you. I have been there pretty much everyday for the last two weeks. The fourth floor is where its at. I like to be completly alone when I write so I have no distractions or else I will never get work done. I am a big procrastinator and that is something I really need to work on so that I get my papers done sooner so I have more time to edit them. Overall, my writing process needs a lot of help because I would really like to get better grades on my papers starting off in college.

family!

I hate when we have free days to blog because I can never think of anything to blog about! Since I don't know what to blog about I will just blog about my family! I love my family very much and we are just like any ordinary family, crazy obviously! My dad is one of the coolest people you will ever meet, he is so laidback and easy going and he doesn't care about anything I do. I aways go to him when I have problems because I know he will understand and won't get mad at me for doing dumb things. I always have so much fun with my dad and he is a very outdoorsy man. How he married my insane mother i have no idea. I love my mom to death, but she actually could be locked up in a mental institution. She is so funny and loud, but she thinks she is right about absolutely everything and doesn't let you live it down. She is so uptight about everything and is super anal. She is obsessed with managing money and looks at every dime i spend. Even if it is my own money she acts if i took the money out of her own account and used it to by drugs or something even when i just go buy a shirt. I miss her but am so happy to get away from the psycho. My sister, Lauren, is one of my best friends and she goes to Indiana University. She is my role model because she is literally good at everything and it is not fair. She is so smart, pretty, and independant and I wish i could be more like her. We always have a blast together because are personalitys are kind of opposite, but thats what we love about eachother. The last member in my family is my stuffed animal bear, ROSIE!! I am honestly obsessed with her and do not care if people think i am too old to have a stuffed animal. I treat her as if she was another person and bring her around everywhere. We have conversations alll the time, obviously! She is sooo cute and i love her. :) Well i know this was a stupid thing to write about, but it was easy and i could go on for hours about my family! hope you enjoyed reading this.. probably not haha

Commercial!

In all seriousness I have not watched T.V. once since I have been at school. I have watched shows on my computer and movies, but my roommate and I have not even turned our television on. Our room is weirdly set up where there is not one good place to put our T.V. so we can both see it, so we just do not really watch it. It just sits on our floor untouched. I don't even have time to watch t.v. at school, well I guess I do have time, but I just choose to do other things. I can't even remember the last commercial i saw but I used to watch television a lot so i will tell you about one of my favorite commercials that I can remember seeing from a while ago. The Allstate Mayhem commercials have always been my favorite. i am sure they still play every now and then and I think they are so funny. My whole family loves them and we always laugh every time they come on. They come on a lot during football games, probably because they are so popular. One of my favorite ones is the Mayhem jogger commercial where "mayhem" is jogging down the street with pink weights in his hand. He says, "I'm a hot babe out jogging, and i have to make sure, THIS, stays a ten." A guy drives buy and is staring at mayhem jogging slowly down the street in his pink headband and weights and then runs into a pole. Obviously since it is an Allstate commercial it goes about saying you should get rid of your other insurance and get Allstate so you are insured against "Mayhem" I always get a good laugh out of this and many of the other Mayhem videos and i hope you do too.

TERRIBLE CONSTRUCTION!

Since we don't have an assigned blog, and i have nothing to blog about, ill just vent about how much i HATE the construction that is being done at watterson! I have never heard more annoying or disturbing sounds at 8 a.m. monday through friday in my life. It wakes me up EVERYDAY and i can never get anything done until noon. Not only can you not sleep, but you can't even think. I have to go to the library or bone center just to get away from the horrific sounds. Now if I had an early class maybe i wouldn't mind so much because it could be some sort of wake up call, but i do not have a class until atleast 11 everyday and trust me i do not want to be up at 8 in the morning if i do not have to be. I have started to go to the library and sleep in the chairs because i am still so tired and i know it is quiet in there! I think they should have finished in the summer because it is so annoying to deal with now. I wouldn't say this if i knew they were using their time efficiently, but i see them take more than enough breaks so if they actually used all their time they could have been done with the outside renovations in the summer! They only seem to take breaks after the early hours too when everyones already up for the day. Well i hope you enjoyed my vent session because i am so bored and currently thinking about how angry i am going to be tommorow when i will be awoken again by the drilling and pounding.
