What I am thankful for

I am thankful for just as many thing as everybody else, no more no less. I apreciate all the little things no one thinks get appreciated. The little things are the things that matter, things like bringing someone a ready made pb and j or occasionally the giving out of fragranced hand lotions. Maybe its not taking offense to some of the nasty things that can be said about certain unsaid clothing items, which may or may not be from a maternial section of Macy's or from other fancy department store. All of the above are just little things that Lauren Jeong does that make my day or at least my second class of the day a little bit better. I have known Lauren since I was in seventh grade but we really bonded on a friday, when I had a tramatic expierence at one cold stone creamery, but this is not importnant, at all, what so ever, the story does not matter, never has, never will. After that we very became good friends and confidants until the end of that year when she decided to be a hot shot and transfer to the Whitney Young Academic Center Program. Now as we have become reunited and see each other on a near daily basis the bond is stronger than ever. Her ability to be a loving person regardless to the situation has never been taken for granted and i love and apreciate her for it. Now lets not forget about the other people in the class that I am "thankful" for such as Gordon Bentley. Gordon is that little finishing touch or a crushing blow to how a class period is going. What I mean is that if we are doing something in a group he can provide that little insight or comment that can help to answerer the question, Or he can take a class from being productive to just goofing around, just kidding that has never happened. He is a very good student and cares a lot about the class.

Hamster

Hamster: "This lively pet hamster will keep you company throughout the day. Watch him run on his wheel, drink water, and eat the food you feed him by clicking your mouse. Click the center of the wheel to make him get back on it."

I am a Plow

I am getting sick and tired of being used to move the dirties and least sanitary substance on this planet, DIRT. I just get used all the time I don't have any real friends nobody cares about me. Nobody even goes to the trouble of cleaning me because they just figure ill get dirty anyway, but what can i do. Maybe one day I just don't start than I will either have my guys ripped apart and put back together or  I will be compacted into a square of metal the size of a sugar cube. Maybe it is not as bad as i think it is maybe my existence does have meaning, I have made the lives of manual laborers easier by doing their job quicker and more efficiently than they ever could of. I have helped build the greatest monuments of the human race since my birth. O but the things I have been apart of the graves that I have dug the trenches I have made, but we all have participated in acts that we wish we hadn't, right? Remember when farmers had to go and dig and plant the seeds themselves now I do half of that job. I have made the advancement of your race more rapid and exponentially easier. The next time you see me out doing my thing don't be afraid to stop by and tell me you appreciate me, I never get any love because I plow through dirt and I spend way too much time with the worms.

Evaluation

I like being creative, therefore I like this class. The assignments that we have had to do such as the blogs and independent reading projects have given me lots of freedom to express my idea the way that i want to so i can get the point across that i need to. It is great to not be trapped inside a creative box, although i dislike taking notes. Lets be honest taking notes sucks and completely takes any enjoyment you get out of reading. I don't read unless i have to because taking notes have just ruined it, when I read I look for things that i would write down in my notes and not following the plot. Notes ruin reading ask any kid who has had to do them and i more than promise that 9/10 kids say it has been ruined by it, i guarantee it.

Modern Day Slavery

This may be a bit of a stretch, but the way student athletes are used at big university is some what like slavery. They have to spend long hours doing extremely strenuous work and don't get paid a dollar amount but by receiving more work on top  of the sport they are play. Being a student and passing all of your classes and still being able to compete at one of the highest levels of play is the real achievement, forget winning any major titles they should just get a trophy for being on the field every week. The colleges especially division one colleges make a fortune each season from ticket, apparel, and concession sales just at the stadiums alone, not to mention buying stuff online or at a store off campus. While these students may be receiving an education without cost these players have to have money to pay for things like clothes and transportation not to mention food and other essentials. These athletes parents shouldn't have to be giving their kids an allowance while they are at college, and it isn't like they could keep a job because of all the hours they have to put into practice and games. Its no wonder there are so many cases of these student athletes taking free stuff or special treatment. Who wouldn't want to accept something in return for their endless hours of hard work, I know that i sure would. Plus what is so wrong about accepting it, who made that rule? While i can see the harms that it could have on the athletes maybe a no tolerance policy is not the way to go I think that there should be a limit in how much free stuff you can get a month, a couple meals here and there some new clothes that could never hurt anyone.
