It seems like we do not have enough time to do everything. It feels like I have so much to do before summer break. I am pretty sure that I will get 3 papers in; I am trying to work on the 4th one. I am starting to get sick of revising papers because it feel like it’s never going to be right but I know that my paper will be better and stronger in the end. Going to the studio and meeting with Stephanie has helped me a lot. Stephanie organized days that I need to have my papers to be done and its helping me a lot because if I have a deadline I know I will get that paper done that day. I cannot wait for soccer to be done this spring so I have more time to do my homework and work on the things that need to be done.

Dinosaur Footprint
In Plagne, near Lyon, France, Marie Helene Marcaud and Patrice Landry discovered a dinosaur’s footprint. It is a giant herbivore with a long neck. Researchers say that this is the largest footprint found to date now. The tracks spread over dozens maybe even hundreds of meters. Plagne site is one of the largest dinosaur sites on earth. Other researchers had been searching for footprints for years now. They believe that the Plagne site was a long route used by a fold of limestone sediment. The animals were larger than 40 tones and 25 meters in length. The discovery of these footprints shows that they moved around during a phase of emersion of the area, when the sea level was low. I really like this article because it was interesting how people just look and discover new things. I would be so happy to find something that is huge and that would be famous. I would love to have a job like this and just look all over the earth to find new discoveries.

Case Study
I was in Stephanie’s class last semester for English 110 and when I got back my paper she brought up that we have to revise our paper to get a better grade. I was like no way I was going to re write this paper over. It felt like I wrote a paper and pretty much have to throw it away and redo the whole thing. I went to Stephanie and conference with her on my paper. All I had to do was correct these few error and that’s was not a lot. After that I like to revise because my paper gets stronger and better every time I go see her or look at what she wants me to change. I like to revise just because I want feedback on how I did, spend a lot of time on my paper I want good feedback so I can get better at my writing and see what my weaknesses are.

A religious leader of a cult was furious when a one-year-old baby did not say “Amen before and after his meal. So, they punished him by depriving him from food and water until he died. Three members of the now-defunct cult known as 1 Mind Ministries are on trial for murder in the death of Javon Thompson, who was around 16 months old when he died of starvation and dehydration. After the boy died, the cult members prayed for his resurrection, then destroyed all evidence of his death and stuffed his body in a suitcase, which they hid in a shed behind a home in Philadelphia. Ramkissoon, then a teenage single mother, joined the cult because she wanted to become a Christian and was told she wouldn't have to work or go to school, Drake said. When I came across this article, I thought how could somebody be so stupid and do this to a one-year-old baby, just because he did not say “Amen” after his meals. Babies do not know nay better and they expect him to know how to say “Amen” how could they be that way.

So after spending about 6 hours Sunday doing a bunch of English and getting everything caught up, it felt great getting my summaries all done and what needed to revise so I can get a better grade. I knew I was forgetting something that night, I forgot that I needed to do my prewriting. That made my whole night worst because I had no clue on what to write and it’s almost midnight. I came up with talking about how women buy purses for hundreds of dollars when you can find them somewhere else a lot cheaper. My other I thought of on how reality TV is misleading to teenagers like The Secret Life of American Teenager, and One Tree Hill. I think they are misleading because The Secret Life is about how a young girl gets pregnant when she is 15 years old and you are supposed to struggle and she does not even struggle everything comes easy for her, that just gives teenagers the wrong impression. One of my big papers that I want to write on is how directors are making movies similar to the Twilight series. They came out with a bunch of vampire movies because Twilight was the biggest hit on vampires. The New Moon came out and that was a big hit for movie theaters and now they are coming out with the movie called Wolf Man. They really should just leave that kind of topics toe the Twilight Series.

As I have been thinking about what to write this week in my blogs, it came to me! My speech class we had to pick a song that describe you in some way. I was thinking, I have no idea what song to pick, a lot of people picked sad songs because something tragic happen to them but I haven’t had any thing tragic happen to me yet. It killed me because I didn’t want to look so stupid in front of everyone. I wanted to pick a song that was fun and everyone would love. When I worked out I kept thinking and I looked on my I tunes I played this song like 50 times and it plays on the radio all the time but I cannot get sick of it. I picked Bad Romance by Lady Ga Ga because I always listen to it when I work out or when I am in the car. It gets me moving and motivated to do homework, dance, and even workout. Everyone started to smile when I said her name but this true I cannot get sick of this song. What song would you pick to describe you??????

It feels like my writing right now is not going so good, I don’t know why I am just struggling with it. I keep forgetting what I have to do everyday, even though I have planner that I write everything down in. Revising the Hollywood paper was easier for me because I knew what I did wrong. It was a lot easier when Stephanie put it in steps for me. I went to the studio for my min-essay because I did not know what I did wrong with it. Writing the journal all last week was difficult because ei always forget to bring paper with me or something to write down. So, I wrote everything on gum wrappers and napkins until I got home.
