BYE BYE ENGLISH 101!!!!

I can’t believe this would be my last blog. It feels kind of weird because it was something that I had to do at the end of every week and it kind of felt like a vent. I remember in high school my freshmen and sophomore year I had to write journals every day I had to write a journal everyday I had to write two pages about anything I wanted it was pretty hard because I had nothing to talk about much. Keeping a journal or blog in this course was very easy because it was on a weekly basis so my thoughts build up over a period of time especially on the free write journals. The blogs that we had a topic for were sometimes easy to get 350-400 words out but other ones were very tuff like the one about winning the lottery. I had so much trouble writing about that but I had to dig deep and think about it. Overall keeping a blog ahs helped me get a lot of feelings out because I don’t write a lot like I used to so this was actually a helper. It was also a relief from writing the papers and the different units. English 101 taught me lessons in general though it taught me that things won’t always come easy. I will have to work extra hard o get something that I really want. It also taught me that English is not the class for me it made me realizes how high the standards are set to actually pass this class. I now understand how fortunate I was in high school and all the complaining was not worth it because it is ten times worse in college but thankfully this would be the last English class I take in my life.

Normal is tooo Normal

When I first got to the town of Bloomington normal it seemed very boring. Where I’m from you see people everywhere and when I got here I saw no one anywhere except on the college campus. That seemed very odd but it would be my 2nd home for some years so I had to get used to it. The other thing about this town is that there are way to many rules for no reason. When I thought about it they just make those rules so that they can get money off of out of town people who do not know the rules that well. For instance the no skateboarding, j-walking, or blowing the horn these are ridiculous and they seem exclusive to us college students. They know when we are trying to get to class we will take extreme measures like not crossing the street at the corner. Yeah very extreme, blowing the horn I really don’t understand that one I do not know who this benefits or who it harms that’s why it makes no sense. The only fun I have here in normal is on campus when events are held and that’s the only time I invite my friends. When they do come we take a trip to the mall but the mall is just as horrible as the town even though they have some of my favorite stores it’s such a hassle getting on the bus system and having to be on their time. The bus drivers are often nice except for the driver who usually drives the pink d to the Wal-Mart on Vernon. He is a really rude middle aged fat white man and I dread having to go to Wal-Mart because I would have to get on his bus. I did have one good experience is when my family came and we stayed in a hotel and I got a chance to go swimming and we went to eat at buffalo wild wings. Maybe the only reason I do not like normal is because I am limited in terms of me being able to explore because I do not have my own transportation maybe next year I will have positive things to say.

UGH!!!! (IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT ENGLISH 101)

I would have to say this has been one tough/ easy week. First off on Monday I woke up with cold like allergy symptoms. It was horrible I had a throbbing headache and a super stuffy nose with very itchy eyes. I could not make it to my favorite class in the world biology and that upset me but I was alright because I was able to attend the lab. My week has also been tough I have found things out about the things that really interest me and my classes I have to take. Okay first off there is English, I think that in this English course that it is not possible for me to get a grade better than a C, my papers are just never good enough but the upside is that this is the first and last English class I will ever have to take but the downside is that I have to pass and it seems the harder I try to get an A the farther away from it I get. With that said, I have to say I love biology and math, I love them because in biology the most you have to write is a lab report and its based off of your research so the right answer lies within you and those reports are very concise. In math you write numbers and there is always a right answer the hardest part would just be trying to get the answer but at least you do not spend aimless hours to get a not good enough just as in English for me. This week was also kind of easy I had no major projects or test to do and I mastered factoring in my math class and I was pretty excited about that. Those were the highlights of my hard/ easy week.

Vagina Monologues

One of the most memorable events that I have attended on campus was the Vagina Monologues Event. This was a play talking about women’s vaginas. It was very weird because they talked about it in a pleasurable way at the beginning and then towards the end they switched up the tune and talked about rape. In the beginning they were reciting monologues that are really just questions answered by real women and put into monologue form. The women ranged from old to young they told stories of how their vagina malfunctioned on them in the past or how the man that they were with did not appreciate their vagina. They also talked about things that irritated them like how people treat the vagina uncomfortably by making thong underwear and tampons. As they transition to the negative part of the show they do a monologue with women representing rape victims from overseas who have been raped by soldiers who have occupied their homes. It was very sad it made me feel like I was an exception or something because I had never been raped. After that part of the show they ended it talking about women who are homosexual and why they have turned that way. The last monologue was about a woman who had a job as being a moaner. Her job was to make women moan by satisfying them. That one was very weird because I am not homosexual and I do not like to hear stuff like that. In the very end they had asked everyone who was a rape victim survivor to stand up in the audience, most of the entire audience stood up and the audience had to be comprised of 500- 600 people and that really surprised me. This event had to be the first multi cultural event on campus that I have attended.

Spring Break and.... more

As this being the first week back from spring break I found it very tiring. But I handled my business very well, upon going on spring break I knew I had a lot of tasks to get done so that my life would be much easier returning. Over spring break I had a little bit of fun but I had a lot of rest that was much needed. I am the type of person that will get my rest regardless of what’s going on. I schedule myself for a 2 minute nap everyday so that I can be refreshed and ready to do my homework and studying. I slept more than that over spring break though. Besides sleeping over break I did some studying and I completed most of my paper. This unit 3 paper has got me really stressing out because English is not hard but I have not seemed to be doing well on these assignments and I cannot afford to fail. So when going into this unit 3 paper I scheduled several appointments with the writing assistance lab so that this paper can be perfect or very very close. I didn’t get to see many of my friends over spring break but I saw a few. It was weird because our spring break was before everyone elses and we got the bad weather. Spring break really wasn’t a big deal for me though because I go home just about every weekend because I miss my family. People always tell me that I will grow out of it but until that day comes I will continue my weekend trips home. In other news I have a biology test on Monday I feel prepared but not well prepared but I think that I will do well.
