My first semester at college

My first semester of college has been a fun experience. It has been way different from high school. The classes have been really interesting. Some I liked better than others. I worked really hard on all of my work. Moving away from home was hard. However, I would not change the experience. I do not think I would change anything about my first semester at college. I have learned a lot. I know I have grown up a lot to. I know that I have to take full responsibility for my self. I also know that I can no longer run to my mom when I have a problem. I have to take care of myself. Of course I know my mom is a phone call away, but being at college means that I have to be more independent. I also have made so many new friends. I got into a sorority. I love it so much. This semester has been such a different yet exciting time. So much has happened. Good and bad things have gone on. I just can not believe how fast time has gone by. I can not believe this first semester is already pretty much over!

15. Watch a movie
    

Weather and mood

I think my mood does get affected by the weather. When it is bright and sunny out, then I feel like jumping out of bed and getting things done. I am in an extremely happy mood. When it is rainy out, I do not feel like doing anything. I am not as happy as I would be if it was sunny out. In sunny weather, I like to do things. I am more cheery and out going. When it is rainy I am not as out going. When it is too hot, though, I get cranky and ill. I hate to be hot. When I am hot outside I tend to be more irritable. Cold weather does not make me happy either. It makes me want to stay inside bundled under the covers. When the weather out side is pleasant then I feel more pleasant. Therefore, I do think the weather does affect mood. I think the weather affects how people feel about doing things. Bad weather makes doing things less desirable than pretty weather does.

A Poem I wrote

She was pretty
And loved by all
Everyone thought she was perfect
No one ever saw
What was really going on
She always put up a front
Deep down she was hurting
Everything was going wrong
She thought no one could ever understand
She tried to cover up her tears
With all the make up she had
She put a smile on her face
To try to cover up how she was really feeling
Nothing she did made the hurt go away
Finally she had a friend
Who knew something was not right
And got the girl to confess
The truth
The friend told the girl
That she did not have to be perfect
That she could have real feelings to
This made the girl see
That she could start being true to herself
Now everyone knows she is not perfect
But she is still pretty
And still loved by all

20 things I am scared of

1. The Dark
2. Clowns
3. Spiders
4. Snakes
5. Big Dogs
6. Horses
7. Drowning
8. Big bodies of water
9. Heights
10. Losing a loved one
11. Being involved in a wreck
12. My daddy
13. God
14. Breaking a bone
15. Horror movies
16. Failing
17. Disappointing my parents
18. Broken glass
19. Porcelain dolls
20. Getting stuck on an elevator
    

Finals are coming up and I am stressed to the max. I have so much to do and it seems like I will never get done. Papers are due. Tests are coming up. What am I going to do! I know deep down that I can do it. Just somethings seem so over whelming. College is so much different from high school. In college you do not have someone holding your hand and guiding your way like you do in high school. In college you have to step up and make sure everything is done because the teachers are not going to be hounding you about it. Procrastination is a big thing in college. It is not a good thing but it happens. In high school you have the set schedule everyday with the same classes everyday. At college it is not like that. Nothing gets said to you about missing class at college like it does at high school. In college if you do not show up for a certain number of classes then the teacher just fails you. I really do like college though. It is a big change from high school. I feel like more of an adult in college. I know there are more responsibilities, but I think I can handle it. Now I am just hoping I can make it through these finals. If I can finish all this homework and study to make well on my finals, then I will be really happy!

A survey...I figured I would do something different

If you knew you had the right person, would you marry them today?
No, I am only 18 and a freshman in college. I am not ready for such a big step as marriage. I figured that out after being engaged my senior year of high school. I need to grow up some more, and experience a few more things before I get married.

What does the last text in your inbox say and who’s it from?
"Sad day :("-Big Red. I am moving from North Commons to West Courtyards this week. He says it's sad because I will not be around to hang out on the second floor anymore. I just will not be over in the lobby as much.

Yes! 1991 to be exact!

Are you going to get hurt anytime soon?
Is that even a real question. How am I supposed to know. I mean I am quite clumsy. I trip and stuff a whole lot. I probably get hurt on accident sometime. It is pretty inevitable for me.

My mother. She tells me that everyday now that I moved out.

I think I am about equal. I am a really happy person.

Big Red. We were talking about our Greek stuff.

The Florida vs Alabama Game

As a Florida Gators fan I was devastated about the game! I know both teams played their hearts out, and they gave all they had. I wanted Florida to win so bad. They are a great team, and I thought they could do it just like they did last year. Florida tried their hardest, I know they did. Tim Tebow lead them, and worked his hardest to get the victory. I guess it was just not their game. I know both teams are really good at what they do. I do not think the game was about which team is better, because obviously both teams are great because they were both undefeated up until this point. The game will be one for the history books I am sure.

The only thing that really makes me mad about the whole game situation, is the fact that all of these people are giving Tim Tebow junk for crying. Well let me see, it was his last championship game of his college career. He put everything he had into this game. Maybe he feel like his hard work was just not good enough. I do not blame him for crying. If Alabama would have lost, there would have been players from that team crying. I know there would have! I have seen big ole' high school football players cry because they lost a play off game. It is not because they are sissies or wimps, it is because they played their heart out. They gave their all, but they lost the game. I really think everyone needs to stop giving Tebow grief about crying. It's not a joke, and it is not funny.

Arguing

When the word argument comes up, I automatically think of proving a point. Argumentative papers in English class are about proving a point. It could be a negative or a positive point. One may write to prove their point in agreement with something, or one may write to go against a given topic. In high school I had to write an argument paper. I remember it was about music influencing children. I argued that it did not. I really like argument papers. To me, they are the best kind to prove one's point and share one's opinion with others. Some might agree while others disagree. As long as the paper is written well and addresses the audience properly, then the argument paper should be a good one. Some argument papers may discuss really hot topics such as politics. Others may discuss more low key subjects such as school cafeteria food. No matter the topic, the main goal of the paper is to prove a point. One expresses their opinion, and follows it up with facts and details.

In my world, arguing my point on paper is easier than arguing my point with spoken words. I feel like I can express my self more and get my opinions out more clearly when I write them down. When it comes to speaking, I tend to get nervous and tense up. This is another reason I like argument papers.

Sure when it comes to these kinds of papers, one must be precise. One must clearly state their opinions, and follow them up with facts. Good explanations are another key factor in argument papers. If one does not clearly explain what they are talking about, a reader may not get the full point of the paper. The writer must clearly explain what side they are on, for or against the topic, and clearly explain why they are on that side.

Argument papers can be really interesting. Once the reader really connects with the author, and sees where the author is coming from, then the reader can decide whether they agree or disagree with the author.

I went home

Well I went home for Thanksgiving break. Actually I had to go home a day early because the doctor told me that I needed to.

First off, let me talk about the drive. Oh my goodness! An hour and a half drive to my house. It might not sound like much, but when oone person has to make the drive it tends to get a bit long and boring. Nothing wrong with the traffic or anything. Just that long of a drive all by myself did not see too appealing. Anyway, so I made the drive. After awhile I hit an area where none of the radio stations came in clearly. Sadly, big blue the Explorer does not have a cd player; therefore, the radio is my only option when it come to listening to music. Listening to static for fifteen minutes is not something I would call fun. Finally, the radio came back and I was a little bit happier. I never thought the drive was going to end. A ninety minute drive seemed to drag on for years and years. I finally saw my exit, and man I was thankful. I knew after I turned off on exit 93 it only took fifteen more minutes until I would be home. The last fifteen minutes of the drive seemed to pass quickly, to my surprise. Finally, I pulled into my driveway.

I do not think I had ever been so thankful to be at home as I was at that moment. I was feeling so terrible, and driving did not make me feel any better. My mom greeted me at the door, and she helped me bring in all of my things. She put me in my old room. Of course she made me lay down, and not be able to do anything. Honestly, I did not mind one bit. The thought of just resting sounded magnificent. My mom came into my room, and we chatted for a bit. Then she had to cook supper. Of course I was not hungry, but she insisted on fixing me some soup. Reluctantly, I ate some of it. I had to rest in bed for a couple of days, but then I began to go stir crazy.

A few days of resting up, my mom finally let me go to the store with her. Who would have ever thought that I would have been so excited to see Wal*Mart. I sure was!

To make a really long story short, I had a great visit at home. I loved seeing my parents and my little brother. After awhile though, I knew it was time for me to go back to Montgomery.

My home makes me think of

1. Pets--we have 3 cats and 3 dogs (only one cat lives inside though)
   
2. Video games because of my brother
3. Home cooked food because that is what my mom makes
   
4. My big bed that I had to leave behind
5. My family because they live there
   
6. Coffee because a lot of that gets drank there
7. Old times because my house was built in the 1940s or so; therefore, it is pretty old
8. Comfort because that is the feeling I get every time I get home from AUM
9. Chaos because there is a ton of that at my house
10. Love because there is also a great deal of that at my house as well
    

It's late

It's late at night, and I am still up. I have class at eight in the morning. Oh dear! Why can I never go to sleep early on "school nights?" Seriously! I tell myself that I am going to go to bed early. Sadly, it never works out that way. Not that I have homework to do or anything, it is just I am up talking to my friends. I know I should be smart enough to go to bed, but I just love hanging out and talking to my friends! I can not help that they are night owls. Them being night owls has caused me to become a night owl as well. Back in high school, I went to bed no later than ten thirty. What has happened? College! College happened! I love it though. It seems that no matter how late I stay up at night, I still make it through class. Though, the thought of a nap after class stays in the back of my mind. I always make it through class without falling asleep. I think that is an achievement in itself! One day, I think the sleep deprivation is going to catch up with me. When it does, I am done for. However, for now, I am good. I guess I am going to keep doing what I am doing until it does not work for me anymore.

A short Poem

The sun is shining bright
Not a cloud in sight
We can go outside and play
And just enjoy the day
We can go for a walk
Or just sit and talk
Enjoy the company of those we love
And thank the good Lord above
That he has given us another day

Asthma

Last Tuesday I had been suffering from some intense chest pains. The cough I had had for the past week and a half still bothered me as well. I called my mom and told her what had been going, and she told me that I needed to go to the doctor first thing the next morning. My mother got off the phone with me and called my aunt, and asked her if she would mind going with me to the doctor the next morning. My aunt told my mom that she would.

I get up Wednesday morning with my chest and cough still bothering me. It did not really hurt to breath, but breathing was uncomfortable. My aunt comes to pick me up and off to the doctor we go. I sign in and go to the lobby to wait. Luckily I did not have to wait very long. They took me on back and did all of the preliminary things, such as take my temperature and blood pressure. No fever and my blood pressure looked good. Then I get into my room and wait for the upcoming events. First, an EKG. The PA said I needed one because I said my chest hurt. The EKG came out normal, as I suspected it would. Then came the chest x-rays. After the x-rays, I went back to my room and saw another PA. He said that I needed to have some blood drawn so they could run a couple more tests. Having my blood drawn does not bother me at all because back home I have to get blood drawn all the time to check a bunch of things. So, I sat back and let them take some blood. Next, the PA sais he was going to give me a breathing treatment to help clear out my lungs from the mucas build up. I sat there with the breathing treatment for what seemed like forever. After the breathing treatment ended, the doctor came in. He asked me if I had ever been diagnosed with asthma. I told him no. He in turn told me that I had it and I also had a deep chest cold. He prescribed me an inhaler, some cough syrup, and an antibiotic. He also told me that I needed to get a lot of rest and asked me if I lived at home. When I told him I lived in the dorms, he told me that I needed to be at home because that would be the place that I could get the most and best rest possible. After a little more discussion he wrote me a note to excuse me from class for the rest of the week, and then I could go.

After leaving the doctor's office, my aunt took me to get my medicine. We had to wait a good bit on that because they were quite busy. Finally, after getting my medicine, my aunt took me back to the dorms so I could pack to go home. I had to pack quite a bit because of Thanksgiving break. After all of my packing, I got in my car and headed home.

Sarah Anderson

On Tuesday, November 10, 2009, there was a car accident on I-85 north. A SUV hydroplaned and flipped ejecting the driver. After being flipped, the SUV was then struck by the tractor trailer of an 18-wheeler. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the passenger was taken to the hospital. The driver of that SUV was a close childhood friend of mine named Sarah Anderson. The news of this tragedy has broken my heart.

Sarah was going to Auburn University. She played the piccolo in the band. She graduated from Robertsdale High School in 2008. She was also in the band there, and was drum major her senior year. Sarah was one of the most amazing people I knew. Her smile was contagious. She loved everyone. Her number one love was God. She went to church at Loxley First Baptist. I went there with her when I lived in Loxley when I was younger. I remember thinking how I wanted to be like Sarah when I was younger. Everyone loved her. She had the best personality. She never met a stranger. If anyone needed anything she would be there.

I am going to miss her so very much. Her death has really shaken me up. I know that tomorrow is not promised. We all have to live everyday like it is our last. Life can be taken away in the blink of an eye. We should all let our loved ones know how much we love and appreciate them. Give them hugs because we never know when one hug could be the last or when one "I love you" could be the last time you can say it to that person.

Thankful

Thanksgiving has many different meanings to people. To some it means family time. To others it is all about the food. To me, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for all that I have. I may not be as fortunate as some, but I have so much to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my family. Though it is just my mom, dad, and brother, they are still my family. My family has done so much for me. My mom is my best friend. I am thankful for having a mom I can talk to and share my secrets with. I know that some people do not have that kind of relationship with their mothers, if they have a relationship with their mothers at all. My dad and I have been through a lot. We butt heads sometimes, but when it comes down to it, there is nothing he will not do for me and my brother. My little brother means a lot to me too. He may get on my nerves, but I would not trade him for the world. Moving off to college has made me realize how much I do love my family and how much I miss them when I am away.

I am also thankful for my friends. Old ones and new ones. My old friends have been there for me through so much. High school was not always easy for me. My friends being there for me, however, did help ease the struggle a little bit. Now that I am at college, I have made so many new friends. I am excited to know these awesome people. My dorm friends are great. They make moving away from home a little easier. They make dorm life so much fun and so interesting. One never knows what is going to happen when it comes to them. My friends in my classes that do not live in the dorms. They are great too. They make class so much fun. In some cases, if it was not for my friends in my classes, I would not even want to go. My sorority sisters are my best friends. I love them all. They all make me laugh. Those girls are some of the best girls anyone could ever meet. I am so lucky and thankful to be able to call them my sisters. Having the friends that I do makes me feel so blessed.

There are so many other things that I am thankful for. Most of all I am thankful that God has blessed me to be able to get out of bed every morning. Tomorrow is not promised. God giving me another day to live is such a blessing that I am forever thankful for.

Thankful

1. Family
2. Friends
3. Sorority sisters
4. Food
5. House
6. Good Health
7. Sleep
8. My car to get me back and forth from school to home
9. The fact I am able to get up every morning and be able to see, hear, walk, and talk
10. Sunshine because I do not like the rain
11. Having a bed to sleep in at night
    
12. Freedom
13. Safety
14. Love
15. Education
16. Books
17. Internet

A man and his cockroach

There once was a man named Tim. Tim was a loner and had no friends. He stayed in a rickety old cottage all by himself. He had no wife because no woman would marry him. Nothing in the world really meant much to him. However, there was one thing that meant something to Tim, his pet cockroach. Tim named the cockroach Sue because he found her near a sewer while he was walking to town one rainy day. Sue was the most important thing in Tim's life. He spent his long lonely days making clothes and food for Sue. Sue was his princess. Tim thought since Sue was a princess, she should learn to dance. Tap dancing was Tim's secret special talent. Day and night Tim worked so hard to teach that cockroach to tap dance. At first it was quite difficult because Sue did not want to cooperate. Finally after she realized Tim as not going to give up, Sue gave in and decided to learn to tap dance. Once she started to learn, Tim knew she was going to be a star. Tim worked very hard with Sue to perfect her dance. One day while walking to town to get more fabric for Sue's clothes, Tim saw a poster that advertised a dancing contest. He knew his Sue could win it. Tim got home and told Sue about the contest. At first Sue was hesitant, but she knew it would make Tim happy so she agreed to enter the dance contest. After filling out the paper work, Tim brought it into town to the man in charge of the contest, Mr. Dancinshoes. Mr.Dancinshoes looked at Tim's paper and began to ask questions. After the fact that Sue was a cockroach, Mr.Dancinshoes could not stop laughing. He wanted to know if Tim was actually serious. Of course Tim was serious. Mr.Dancinshoes allowed Sue to be in the contest because he just wanted to see a dancing cockroach. Sue performed in the contest and tap danced her little heart out. She would have won too if it was not for one of the other tap dancers stepping on her.

UFC better than WWE

Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC, takes dominate position over World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE, for many reasons.
First and foremost, UFC is real fighting. These are real professional fighters beating the living daylights out of each other. In WWE, the "fighters," I say they are just characters really, are not even really touching the people they are supposed to be hitting. When UFC fighters hit each other and beat the living daylights out of each other, they are really doing it. WWE "fighters" just have good stage presence, and are good at making it look like they are fighting. People really get hurt in UFC fights; however, nine times out of ten no one really gets hurt in a WWE fight (I say nine times out of ten due to the fact there have been a couple of real incidents of people getting true life injuries in WWE). UFC involves real fighters really fighting to achieve a win, while WWE involves really good actors putting on a show for an audience.
Secondly, WWE has story lines and plots. The producers of WWE have the "fighters" follow plots to appeal to audiences. They have stories like friends turning on each other, marriages, and enemies becoming best friends. UFC has no story lines. The only stories told on UFC are the stories of the fighters backgrounds. The UFC fighters do not have plots to follow. They fight to win. That is their main goal. Of course UFC is appealing to the public and the real fighting makes a good show, but the fact is they do not follow story lines.
One last reason UFC is better than WWE is the fact that you never know what is going to happen in UFC. In one fight the usual guy might win, or the under dog may turn it around and win. UFC is always an edge of your seat type event to watch. WWE is quite predictable. People may say it is not, however one usually knows who is going to win what fight, or what is going to happen next. UFC can not be predicted. One can try to say what is going to happen, but usually it usually turns up to be a surprise.
