Ah the weekend!

Another weekend coming to an end and another week of school and work ahead.  NOT looking forward to any of it, but hey what can you do?!  On a negative note, my Playstation 3 broke down the other day.  I had to send it in to Sony to get it fixed, and its going to cost me a hundred bucks!  Good thing is I've been able to get more homework done. haha.  Can't wait until I get it back, because I'm really jonesin to play some GT5 and Call of Duty!  I need an escape from reality for a little while. =)  I still need to finish my National Gaze paper, and transform my very rough draft into a presentable paper.  I have a Criminal Justice test to study for and take by Friday this week, and another paper for Natural Resources to write. See you all in class Tuesday!

Just a review of the week!!

Walked into class on Thursday and the seats were all arraigned in a circle for our intensive reviews.  Professor McArdle wouldn't let anyone sit in the first chair.. Real stickler on seating I guess.  Anyways once class actually began we started on our intensive reviews.  We went around the room and everyone got a chance to comment on each persons paper, and point out strong and weak points.  Professor McArdle commented on the visual rhetoric that Brandon had in his paper, but took out.  He told us that pictures in our papers are okay as long as they support our text and aren't HUGE!!  Before class ended we start to review Kim's paper but we didn't get finished.  On Tuesday of next week we will be finishing Kim's paper and the last three of the 6 papers for the intensive reviews.

To start out, I got to class a little late because I forgot my peer review worksheets at my apartment.  When I got back to class professor McArdle was reviewing the chapters we had been assigned the previous week and the readings for that day.  We split up into our peer review groups for the last part of class and before we left McArdle told us our assignment for Thursday.

Another weekend of work...

SO once again its late...Just got done working a 12 hour shift at my weekend job at Grambolis Pizza.  Not looking forward to tomorrow, and another 12 hours shift. WOW thats 24 hours in two days!  And that doesn't include the 28 hours I worked during the week.  I'm definitely tired of working and already getting tired of school.  Not to mention the first draft of our National Gaze paper is due tomorrow by 11pm ugh.!!  I just feel completely swamped with everything this week.  Sometimes I wonder if anyone else ever really feels the pressure that I do.  Going to school with at least 12 credit hours every semester and working two part time jobs, and working enough hours to be considered full time.  If only I had to go to school. Life would be a lot easier.  We can all wish right?

Work SUCKS!!!

Lets see.. it is 1:31am Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I just got home from a thirteen hour shift.  When I walked into my apartment my roomies are sitting on the couch watching one of the best TV shows ever, Art Mann Presents.  This makes me happy and glad to be home.  I am so glad that I don't have to work tomorrow and that I get to hang out with my brother in Broad Ripple.  I hope that this coming week doesn't suck and that I don't have to work very much, because that would be awesome!!  Well I'm going to play some Call of Duty Black Ops with one of my neighbors and then head to bed.   And to leave you with something actually good, a nice looking and relevant sign.

A little About me...i guess

Hey everyone!  I've never blogged before so I'm not real sure what to do. But I am just going to start with a little information about me.   Im currently a senior here at Ball State with the hope of graduating as soon as possible.   I'm a big outdoors man and I enjoy everything that has to do with being outside.  For this reason and a few others I have chosen to major in Natural Resources and I am also minoring in Criminal Justice and Criminology.  My career goal is to become a Conservation Officer for Indiana, but I would consider moving to another state if a had to.  I enjoy going out every once in a while to have a good time, but I work two double shifts every weekend and throughout the week.  So I really don't have a life while school is in session.  Here's a video of how I feel at work sometimes. Enjoy!!
