Hi there...
Well here I sit thinking about desicions I've made within the last couple weeks. Im still really unsure if what im doing is the right thing. Day in, and day out I keep telling my self things will work out, however i dont know. Im in a better mood now that I dont have the weight of class on my shoulders, but I still have a while to go. I want to finish this semester out well so I at least have a good foundation started. My credits my advisor told me will still be as good in 20 years as they are today. So well see.. I want to still get my degree its just because i got hired I dont want to mess a good thing up.
Well I need a word count and Im unsure what to write about so.. I think im just going to rant and rave about my life some more. So not only quitting school has been a problem on my mind, but im also looking for an apartment. There are manny around the area where I live, there just is not any that allow my dog. I have a collie lab mix, basically a mut, but hes a great dog. Im thinking about just saving money and renting a house and do a land contract thing, but once again I dont want to move too fast. So If any one knows of a good place for me let me know! Back to me talking.. Im tired as I type and I hate how theses pointless things are going to make our grade. Ooo hhhhhh WELL.... Sooooo...... now what hmmm..... I'm unsure. Well what ever good enough.

10 min writing about hte series
The Video just watched in class was very good. It made you think about all the ostanding factors
Engish Class B4 it all goes down!
So... today i'm going to speel with my advisor. Im interested to see what I can possibly do with my life. I'm so young with so much life ahead. As of now im working full time and getting my own place here shortly. Im excited and time will only truly tell. I know one way or another Ill be who I want to be, and I dont have to be who someone wants me to be. All I know now is that I dont want to be a Engineer for the last couple months of hard math and what not have made my life hell. I think I may look into a certific or what ever the degree below a assiociates degree is. I dont want to waste all my time and money. I would like to get something to show for it.
The factory life is good and bad. I like going to work and having a good time with all the guys, lifes good there. At work no one hurts one another, but more so makes life better. We talk about problems then we talk about life realy could be in a humors mannor and lauph untill we cry. Therefore

School!!!
Well IM not sure how some people feel, but I would like an honest opinion from some one who works full-time and works the weekend because the moneys good. Well my question is what do I do. I like the money but the time really sucks I find my self unable to do anything including school work. The free time I do have I always wanna do something fun. For example I work second shift, therefore I go in at 12:30 and get off at 8:30. The hours just ruin my day, but it was easy to start working I didn't have to change my sleep pattern. Well now I find my self overwhelmed because I need to pass all my classes obviously, so now I have to choose, or change something. I need to just get schooling out of the way. i started it I must finish it.
The thing the hurts is how I got my job. Well.... where to start. It all came down to my grandfather, my dad, and my uncles. My grandfather owned a carry out bar and grill, and he passed away over a year ago, almost two years ago now. So when this all happened the business was suppose to go to my dad and his close brother. Now one of the other brothers is a cop, and he completely manipulated the legal system. He changed the will and a hole bunch of other stupid shit. So here my mother, my father, and myself were all without jobs.
That all lead me to a better paying full time job. I went job searching, and first off I went through a temp service, and got my foot in the door at the cookie factory. To most that sounds like a terrible job, but it pays verry well. As of this coming monday i'll be part of the company witch pays well. I start at 13.90 and Top out at 18.70. That may not seem all that great, but when your 19 with nothing more than a car payment, insurance, cell phone, and looking for an apartment its not bad. I gross over a thousand dollars a week and bring home around 800ish. So that factor leaves me not knowing what to do.
So I know there has to be people out there that know how I feel... So I would appreciate any comment! Thanks l8ter ByBy

Ten Min. Writing
WELL..... theres a witch, Santa Clause, and the Easter bunny, and they were on there way to walmart when they came across the museum. The Easter Bunny and Santa Clause, only out one time of the year, wanted to do something crazy. So they said to the witch, "Hey you see that museum over there? Lets go see whats inside." So of course the Easter Bunny broke a window, the witch used majic, and Santa Clause decided to go through the chimly. So once inside, they gathred up and was clueless what to at a musuem. So the witch wanted to see all the paintings, Santa wanted to ride a dinosour, and the Easter Bunny wanted to hop alongside the stuffed kangroos. So they all split up and the fun began...
The Easter Bunny was the first to break something. All the others herd was a big CAA-BOOOOMMM, Santa sorta lauphed, and the witch ran tword the noise. Santa being as large as he is attempted to run tword the noise and of couse stoped half way there unalble to breath. So when the witch arrived, you would not believe what she seen. There was the Easter bunny standing over a stuffed kangaroo. Santa went on to say "Now I've seen it all, It wasn't enough to see meet the Easter Bunny, but to see you take down a stuffed kangaroo... wow." The witch was speechless, and wandered what to do. So she went off on her own way.
The witch found her paintings, and her dream was to touch the mona lessia, so there it was. The witch was astonished buy the craftsmen ship, and didnt realize she set off an alarm. Once she came to her seances she was unsure where to go, or what spell to cast. The Easter Bunny, and santa came running up worried out of their minds. They ask her what she was thinking, She stood there in shock unsure how to answer.
Just then the three heard the main entrance get knocked in. Just at that moment the witch casted a spell and magically dissapired. The Easter Bunny Stuck there along side with Santa were in shock and was unsure what to do. They ended up going to jail over night, and then executed the fallowing day. The witch was never heard of or seen again.

In Class Writing
In Class it would have been last thursday. I walked in about five to ten minutes late, and the few students in class looked at me as if I was stupid or something! I looked around, and then at our instructor, and it almost seemed as if she was in a fowl mood. So I proceeded to have a seat, and not care what anyone would think as usual. There I sat while everyone else was doing there in class prompt. We were in the class room so I was unable to ask my neighbor what was going on, because I would cause a scene. where as if we were in the computer lab were spread out further, and in the back of the class she would be unable to hear what we were talking about. So while I was sitting there staring around the room I noticed a spider eating a dead spider so it seemed!! I'm still unsure exactly what it was. Well back to the topic. while siting there on the board there was a person de scripted. I was unsure what to think of that. So I just waited until the class was finished there writhing (which was only about five minutes.) So then we discussed the topic and it was about
College sucks I'm So Tired of it ALL
With such a hectic work schedule I’ve been unable to do much. I have however been around campus, and its a great feeling. I truly love the atmosphere, Its better than I imagined it to be. Its less Intimidating than I expected. I thought the college life was going to be hard. I was truly scared out of my senses. I laugh now, but I can remember just how weak my stomach the first few weeks of class!
Living on such a tight a tight schedule sucks. It limits so much, and leaves me unable to do what I would like. everyday is a blur, and it seems after each day I become further behind. I try so hard to work around my schedule, and it seems that something new always comes up. I become stressed, and typically end up putting school behind the others. I’ve thought about doing the unforsaken, and dropping out, but I know I’m strong enough and with the help of others I’ll make it. When I do make It, I’m told that things will be better than ever, and I’ll feel better than ever about myself.
While on campus I’ve experienced many activities, and I’m looking forward to upcoming ones. On one of the first days of class, I remember these huge tents set up in the quad. These tents were playing great music, and cooking good food. In the last week or so I’ve noticed on a bulletin some upcoming events. I noticed that there was a zombie vs. human activity coming up. Along with a play that the Ohio State theater is putting on. I loved high school plays, so I can only imagine what a college one would be like.
Now that I’ve taken the time to put these thoughts together it makes me want more. Not so much more money, but memories. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done anything fun. I think I will have to spend more time planning, and less time dreaming. I need to find a planer, or some sort of schedule that works for me. In Class Writing
While shopping with my big strong man we ran into his former girlfriend. I compleatly understand why shes an Ex. I look better than her prego! Any who, so were walking down the isle looking for some toys, and there she is. Shes probly one of the most ugliest things I've ever seen. She was so fat that even being pregnant I looked to be at least ten pounds slimmer. She was wearing these yoga pants that were working a lot harder than they needed to be! Them pants were so tight I dont even think Chris could ware. Chris at this point just started to lauph as Becky and I begun to argue. The fact that he thought it was funny just agerivated me to no end. I turned around looked him in the eyes, and said "get this hoe on a leash, has she always been this mad?" Chris holding back the laughgter said, "you see what I tried to tell you!" So now I try to act serious and look her in the eyes and ask, "what do you want!" Becky then goes on to say how she wanted to have a child with chris, and he told her that he was unsure that he wanted to have a baby. Look at him now!

Algebra
Hello fellow peers, I'm sitting in algebra. I'm determend to get my 50 post in! So what should this be about? Well ill tell you about what I'm learning. We're learning logs! All I can do is think of trees, and building. What really sucks is my calculator. It died on me, and switching the batteries around isn't doing much! It keeps telling me its dead well low battery! Oh well life goes on, and gets better. Umm… I'm unsure what to say. Well my uncle was put in the hospital on Monday and he had a heart cath done yesterday, and when they got in there the had no good news. They found that he had 4 aneurisms, and they are very life threatening. Well what can ya do, I can't change his habits only he himself can. I think he will he says he's willing to do what ever it takes! So I think his dumb ass would stop all his stupid shit. Well i just became a little excited!! Grr I hate blogger I don't know what to say… Well were still talking about logs and I'm on my phone! I'm done another post, well wait.. its two short.

What a Life
Just to make another post I'm going to tell you about my life. WELL..... where to start? I'm 19 and just graduated high. I'm a full time student while working a factory job...DON'T DO IT. Its horrible, I dont have time do anything. I really wish I had more time. I wish it was like it was in high school, I worked part time at the family buisness. We own a little sports bar in Ottawa, OH. Its a fun place to work, but the money sucks. I filled beer, pop, snacks, and much more. once I was 16 I then became a cook, now that wasn't bad. Then once I tured 18 I went to the front to become a cashier. I started there when I was 15, and just quite this past july. I only quit because I needed a better income. Which brings me to where I am now. I applied for a job at the cookie factory in june, and got in, in July. The moneys nice I guess, but theres a lot to deal with. The job it self is not bad but some people would stab you in the back in a heart beat. Im exageraing that a little, but some people really look for reasons to cry! Enough with my pitty! I'm really enjoying things for the most part. The whole experience I'm going through now is making me more mature. Its showing me that work pays off. With working as much overtime as I do anythings possible, but I want my schooling to get me the money without all the overtime. I deffinatly dont want to make cookies for the rest of my life even if theres money in it. The thing that sucks is that all the guys I work with tells me that the cookie factory isn't that bad of a place to work, and theres a lot of worse places out there. I've been taking it a day at a time, and hoping for the best. But back to my life, and how its good. Lets start with my free time. In what free time I have I get wild. I enjoy doing really stupid things I ENJOY THRILLS. I have a problem when it comes to having fun! I just go crazy and have a good time. All my friends and I are all about toys. Right now In the guarge I have a 02 Polaris Scrambler 500H.O, an 05 Yammaha R6, and I drive a GTP! This is my passion I really wanted to go to school for auto mantiance, but theres no money in it. I loving doing it all from getting covered head to toe in mud to riding a wellie at 70mph! My girlfriend will be at my side through the whole thing. well... I don't get that crazy with her, but she enjoys it all from trails to the street. I'm really not allways that crazy, but trust me dont try me! I just posted all this because I'm having a bad day, and wanted to babble! Well TTYL@#$!@$#@#$!!!
RR#4 "007 Is Back, and He's Brooding"
I'm Still unsure what this passage was about. There was a lot of difficult vocabulary, and challenging topics to comprehend. I read this passage at least two times, and lost interest the third time. I dislike how there were Ideas thrown out for opion, then he uses examples to prove them. All I got from it was there was a good opening song to a movie, and he was comparing movies.

Conclusion (Once Upon a Time) In Class #5
The series "Once Upon a Time" was a daring thriller that many would enjoy. The series is relevantly new, but has serious potential. This series being considered an sci-fi fiction leaves you on the end of your seat wanting more. The story lines a little hard to pick up on first but with some patients it will be all down hill from there. If your one whom enjoys these types of series its strongly recommended.
Body (Once Upon A Time) In class #5
Theres alot of thought, and time that goes into this series. This series may seem a little nonchalant to the average american. The show has a twist that some will be unable to fallow. It interties several other stories all into one jumble. Then the writer, of the show, expects you as the audiance to pick up all the details that are far fetched to make the story line make sence. This shows has great actresses, but requires serious dedication.

Juno Reader Response #3
Juno was a great movie, and it got me to thinking. I thought the whole time while watching it. I was unsure how to sit there comfortably while the whole whirl winded plot happened. I enjoyed the whole situation though. I found it interesting, yet funny. I thought to myself why would she do that! While I also thought to myself "what an idiot!" It makes you wonder what she was thinking through the whole movie.
Thought out the movie I can remember enjoying specific parts. I remember when the clerk at the little store told her " your ego is prego!" How do you not laugh at that? Then on the way home, while under distress, she act like she hung herself with a twizzler. Then there was a part I can't remember exactly what happend, but I do know that she became sick. Then she proceeded to vomit in a vase or something. Juno had its ups and downs, but after all I would recomend watching it.

10 Min Writing in Class promt #4
The hall was silent until she heard a rumble, a very low loud rumble. It almost seemed to be completely across the school, but she could hear it coming. The tromping of the step,"Boom...Caaaboom....Boom... CAaaBooM" It was defiantly getting closer. She ran in destress screaming " AAAhhha Im Dooommmed," but little did she know, she was running tword the beast. She then stopping on a dime, turned into the biology room. There in the biology room she was able to get into the chemicals, and get some sulfuric acid. She then ran out the other side of the room to the next hallway. There she held the beast once again. This time louder than before. Unsure what to do she turned around, and ran down the hallway. When she got to the end she turned right into the women's bathroom. There was no one there to help, and of course there was no service on her phone. She then proceeded to peek out. She didn't hear any noises until she seen the floor cleaner. which made a low rumble while it sucked up the water from the floor. The sound of foot steps was clear to be mistaken for the machine bumping the wall while making turns. The girl then went back to English class to work on homework.
In Class writing Prompt #3
I never watched the show "How I Ment You'r Mother" untill a couple days ago in class. I never relized just how funny it was. The whole time throught the show there were mixed emotions. The humor was all over the place, but easy to fallow. I found my self deply engaged, and wanted to watch the next.
I like how the hurmor wasn't based on just on topic. I like how it went from the buddies sex life to the real life problems. I enjoyed all the far fetch ideas they throw out in the air. I cant really say all the ones that sparked my attention on here! However I enjoyed this show, and plan to watch more.

RR#2; Bechdel/The Canary-Colored Caravan of Death
I think the title says enough! Its even hard to understand. I found this story very hard to fallow. I tried to read this story for two days and took little to nothing out of it. I was distracted by the photos the whole time. I found my self lost in the text.
I was unsure where to go next. Growing up I never liked comics, therefore I never learned how to read them. I found myself assuming how to comperhand them, and go figure I thought wrong! So stumbling through the captions I was able to see the story was about a girl that was from a strange family. Well for starters when the story started the girl was in a dream about her dad dying. Then from there it went on to tell about how her love for art was destroyed. Her father told her she was doing it wrong, he even went on to change it to the way he seen fit. I from then on was lost.
Thanks to the talk in class I was able to further understand it. In the class discussion I was able to see what exactly this girl was talking about, or what the moral of the story was. This girl came from a family that was not passionate, and she got very little love. This girl was almost depressed it seemed in my point of view, and she just wanted some attention. The story is almost sad because how the little girl was treated. On the last page it shows just how diverse they are, but the little girl just goes on doing her art.

In Class Writing Prompt 1:
Writing to me isn't a scare. I just feel self concious upon my topics I choose. I feel like my topics are far fetch, and some times odd. I remember once back in middle school I wanted to write about the new camaros. At the time thats all I wanted. Growing up cars, motor cycles, or anything that had a engine was the only thing that seemed to matter. I sruggled to stay on topic in english class. I didn't wanna learn what was being tought because I knew when I got home I woulndn't care about it anyway.
It wasnt untill probly late my souphmore year that I truly started to care. At this point it made it hard. I had my camaro which wast a 2011 like I had dreamed about, but it was the next best thing to me. It was a 1995 camaro Z28. It wasnt nothing special but it was mine. It only had 112,000 miles on that lt1, and that six speed was a blast. I cant tell you how often I dumped the clutch. You probly dont care but I burnt off a set of tires in two months. My Bad!!
Back to writing, I'm starting to like it. I feel more comfortable now than I ever have. I just start to write and let free. Its great because I use to feel like this isn't what was ment to happen. I was always to I had to map it out, and write. Then after I wrote it out I had to re-write and do so again, and again.

MY PATH
Hi, I'm Dustin
I'm having a hard time adjusting to the college life. I have so much freedom, and I'm so busy. I'm attending this college to get my desired degree, I'm studying to become an electrical engineer. I noticed after my first week its best to stay on top of things, and not to give into procrastination. I enjoy this all, however at the same time i feel overwhelmed. Its hard to put into words what I feel, but I try. Im just a average student trying to get by. I'm sure there are many others out there feeling the same way, please comment and tell me about your self. After this week I can already tell I'm going to need some friends to get through this, or I may start to gray! >; )

After the reading,"The Secondhand Bookseller" to my surprise I enjoyed it. I found it hard to beleive how much I took for granite, and how deprived some people are. I know personally I would rather do unimportant things with my time. That alone made me that much more involved with this story.
In this story I found it hard to stop reading, and wanted it to be longer. I found it incredible how mature this young girl was. She had wants just like every other girl today, but her priority was to learn. Not only that she also understood how her family was living, and what they could afford. At the time a book was not one of the priorities. I enjoyed reading the part where this little girl opened up to her mom and asked if she could get a new book. The little girl at this point was unsure what to expect because of there financial situation. However the little girl was pleased to hear her mother tell her she would be able to get one book per month. The child thought to her self and realized after the joy, that one book wouldn't take a month to read.
The child then came up with a plan on how to save money to purchase more than just that one book a month. She decided to save her milk money, and even sell a pencil case. A while back the child noticed a secondhand bookstore. She surly thought she would be able to find something there to her interest, not only that she thought they would be cheap. So one day while her parents were out she decided to see what the store had to offer. There at the store she was pleased to see all the books, and there she was pleased to meet the owner of the store Albert. Albert was surprised to see this young girl in his store. He then proceeded to ask her if he could help her find something. She told him she was looking for any good book. He then found it hard to believe that this young girl really want a book, more so than anything else. He found a book she might like, and then proceeds to give her a break on the price.
After three or four day the girl had it read twice, and was ready for the next book. The girl then proceeded to go back book store. when returning to the book store Albert was expecting the young girl to want a refund of the book. However to his surprise she was back for more. Albert then seeing in the girls eyes her true love for books went on to telling her she could barrow books. His only catch was she had to take care of them. The little girl was ecstatic, and seen him as a angel. After reading this section it made me appreciate everything I've been taking for granite.
