A Farewell

So glad that this semester is coming to an end. I feel like I need this break coming because I have worked so hard for all of my classes. I know that I'll probably be working a lot this winter break, but not doing any kind of school work for about 4 weeks is a great thing. I just got all of my Christmas shopping done and I'm stoked for that. Also, I finally got up my Christmas decorations. They look really good and I'm happy that I finally had a chance to wrap everything up. I would really like to wish everyone a wonderful break and I hope to see some you in the future. Please keep in touch.

Possibly bad

Working at the movie theatre today, I found that it was not like it used to be. There aren't as many people coming through the doors as it was before, and I feel that it has been completely dead versus the past. I honestly believe that a lot of it has to do with the economy that we have right now. It's kind of sad that this is starting to happen, and not only am I worried about my dad losing his job now but what about my job. This could be bad.

Dancing with the Stars

Anyone watch dancing with the stars... Probably not, but I really like the show. I;m really excited the Brooke won the show. I'd just like to show you their final performance. I really think that it displays their talents.

Presentations

Presentations were kind of exciting this week. I mean, I love to give my opinion on certain things and present research that I have found; however, it's a horrible feeling when you prepare a lot for a presentation and you completely freeze up. And of course I had to completely freeze up! My mind went completely blank and I don't even think that sentences were coming out of my mouth. It sounded more like as bunch of words smooshed together. I wish I could have done better, after all of the hard work that I put into the presentation and the paper.
Other presentations that I did hear were actually very insightful. I was most impressed when Angelica talked about becoming a vegetarian. There were so many facts to spport her claim. Also, I feel a lot more educated about this topic and am now more aware of the things that I'm eating. (The entire point of having these papers in the first place!!)

Second Language Learning

My Op-ed piece is posted on http://rdshock20.wordpress.com/. I hope that you understand a little bit more about the topic that I'm doing my paper on.

Scared

Scared. This what I feel like right now. I am scared to know what will happen to the auto industry and in the end, me. My dad works for GM and he makes a large part of the income the we have in my house. Like many Americans across the country, we have a fear that the auto industry will crash and for many people to lose their jobs. I feel like the auto industry is the back bone of the country and if the loans do not go through then my family could be in deep trouble. Yes the top employees and the government are at fault for this mess, but it should not be taken out on the "little guys" who have nothing to do with. I honestly hope for the best. For my family and for many others.

Feeling Blue

Everything in general is just taking a toll on me. Because of the stress and the homework and working, I'm getting sick and tired and drained. I haven't gotten sleep in days and this entire week im working as well. I feel like this week needs to just be off for us. I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything that I need to be doing. Does anyone else have this feeling or am I alone on this one? I really hope that I am no the only one feeling like this.
