It is officially the Holiday Season!

















Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can all start playing our Christmas music and getting out decorations. Carlye and I completely decked out our dorm room yesterday. We have a tree, decorations on our door and mirror, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, and lights everywhere! It was fun putting everything up, but it also makes me feel more at home.
I created a Christmas playlist on iTunes that will be on repeat for the next month. The only thing left to do is watch the Christmas specials on ABC Family. Frosty the Snowman is on tonight, I think. So I have to watch it, or course.

Multigenre and Thanksgiving Break

So far this is my favorite assignment in this class. I don't feel stressed the write the multigenre. Probably because it can be more personal than the other papers. Writing about my sisters also probably has something to do with it. It's so entertaining to recall stories and experiences that I have had with them. I am confident that I will be happy with my final draft of this assignment.
Also, I'm very excited for Thanksgiving and the week long break that comes with it. I'll put up some pictures after the holiday. And just so everyone knows, it's my BIGGEST pet peeve when people/ stores/ restaurants put out Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving.

Just a mess

I mess up a lot of things.
So I'm tired of trying.
I'm just going to quit.
Some things would be better if I wasn't associated anyway

Research paper process...

...hasn't been any fun at all. We decided that we wanted write about how a smoking ban should go into effect in all public places. What we didn't realize was it is harder than you would think to find research about it. There is plenty of info out there about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, and that is very useful. But it seems like that is all we have been able to find. It's even harder for Chip to find info because he is writing from the perspective that smoking shouldn't be banned because it infringes on people's rights. There is like... NO research on that. If there is, it is written in Arabic and hidden within the deepest recesses of the internet.

So anyway, I started researching and found a few sites that I could use in my paper. As I continued writing I realized that I in fact could NOT use most of my info sites because they were severely out-dated, unreliable, or only had one sentence of info that I could use in my paper. So right now I have three legit sources... which sucks. I really struggled writing the paper, and I am going to have a LOT to edit before my final draft is handed in.

Happy Halloween!

I'm going to Purdue for Halloween. A majority of my friends go there, and they are excited for all of us to get together and have some fun. I usually take my sister trick-or-treating, but this year I thought I would take a break from that and dress up myself. Being a college student, I don't have a lot of money to spend. So I decided to raid Goodwill. I ended up finding enough items to complete the Tom Cruise Risky Business look.

Yes? No?
