Reflection time (>^.^)>


From the first day in the learning community, was
 unecpeted.....my expections were at least. I didnt expect to really make any friends, I was just there to focus on school work and do well, and now I've mad friends in this learning community and this community is really fun. I thought college was going to be harder than my high school, but since I came from a college prep hs, it was an easy transaction.  When starting to do the RD095 work, I thought was going to challenging because I know I am not a strong reader, but turns out I kinda am one now. My reading strengths have increased in so many ways. Also, the EN001 work I thought wasnt going to be that hard, beisdes doing the evergreen book work. I thought doing the papers would be easy, but boy was I worng. My writing skills arent as strong as I thought they were, and now they have increased a little bit from doing the evergreen work.

What I Learned from "King Corn" and "Chew On This"





~What I learned from "Chew on This" is that:
1. the food at fast food places are not real food.
2. chicken nuggets has really no chicken in them at all, its edible paste.
3. the different types of  dieases you can get from the chickens and cows.
4. its better to get free range chicken.
~What I learned from "King Corn" is that:
1. Cows are feed  corn, which isnt good for them. free range cow(cows eatting grass) is way better.
2. corn is in mostly everything we eat.
3. the different types of weeds that can grow in a corn field.
4. waste from a farm equals to 1.7 million people in a city.
5. one soda aday doubles your chance to T2D, rather than drinking it once in awhile
~What can I do to have an impact on the way food is produced?
1. have petitions- to have free range chicken and cows eatting grass rather than eatting corn.
2. show how bad animals are -what they eat and how they are being treated-->shows what are they consuming, which shows us what we are eatting is unhealthy.

Jesus, Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood


She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati on a snow white Christmas Eve. Going home to see her mama and her daddy with the baby in the backseat. Fifty milies to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline; it'd been a long hard year. She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention, she was going way too fast. Before she knew it, she was spinning on a think black sheet of glass. She saw both their lives flash before her eyes, and she didn't have time to cry. She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air. Jesus take the wheel, take it from my hands cause I can't do this on my own. I'm letting go, so give me one more chance and save me from this I'm on; Jesus take the wheel. It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder, and the car came to a stop. She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock, and for the first time in a long time she bowed her hear to pray; she said. "I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life. I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight; Jesus take the wheel; take it from my hands cause I can't do this on my own. I'm letting go, so give me one more chance, and save me from this road I'm on." Oh Jesus take the wheel. Oh I'm letting go, so give me one more chance. Save me from this road I'm on, from this road I'm on. Jesus take the wheel. Oh take it, take it from me, oh, why, oh.

Susan's Point of View

In chapter 9.....Susan had already made dinner for Spencer, his dinner was in the fridge waiting for him and Susan was eating her dinner in bed watching tv with Pearl. Spencer goes down into the kitchen to see what she made and decides that he wants a sandwhich instead because what she had made was complete crap to him........





I was eating dinner in bed watching a movie with Pearl. Spencer came in and gave Pearl and I a kiss. Hey Spencer, I left you some supper in the fridge, Spencer replyed "Good"...Spencer go get your supper and bring back up here so we can eat together and talk about your day. My eyes were still on the tv screen and Spencer just told me about his day..."Hawk and I just sat for thirteen hours in the middle of Twenty-two Hobart Street...and nothing happened we just sat there"...Spencer said. Spencer had gone downstairs into the kitchen to go get his supper.....when he came up he didnt come up with the food I had made for us. He came up with a sandwhich he had made for himself and a beer. "Spencer I had left some pasta salad for you" I said and Spencer replied "I sort of felt like a sandwhich" I smiled and nodded...The movie that I was watching when Spencer came home was about a love story between a elegant rich women from Beverly Hills and a roughneck ironworker from Queens.....after Spencer was done eating his sandwhich he came under the covers and so did Pearl and he was on the other side of Pearl...Pearl sleeps in the bed with Spencer and I. Oh you know that Pearl sleeps in the bed with us Spencer...I had said....Then i saw Spencer grab the  Globe from the floor that was by the night stand....he had marked up the paper....Then I asked him "why did you sit all that time in the middle of the project?" Hawk figures that it will make the gang react---its sort of like being like bait..Spencer said and then I had him is that what you do? He replied yes...But Spencer it scares me then Spencer had said hell it scares me too....

Double Deuce

My first reaction to reading the first part of Double Deuce was boring at first, but then it became interesting later on in this part. I like how that this book is like about friendship. it s a little circle of friends helping each other out. For example, Spencer asked Hawk to help him out and Jackie asked Hawk if she could tag along so she could a story.

......Reading......


The books that I have read in my spare time are Invisible Man and The Curious Dog of the Night Time. I didnt really like the book  Invisible Man....because this book had some slow chapters....The Curious DOg of the Night Time was an interesting book that I like because the book jumps around and its a myster theme book. But mostly I read magazines in my spare time: Us Weekly, People, etc. I like to read if the thing I am reading is interesting... one of my favorite writers  are Shel Silverstein.... I like his work....like Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up.....
