Assignment #3 Post

A lot of research had to be conducted while writing this paper. Sex Education as we know is a controversial topic that's overlooked sometimes within our country. I found that there are two main ways to teach Sex Education, and that's through Abstinence and Contraception. Ironically and interestingly, the country is almost divided up evenly between the states in which what each state teaches. States however are starting to transition more into contraception education, or giving the parents/guardians the option for what topic they want their student to learn. North Carolina is the most recent state to offer both contraception and abstinence education. They are only the 7th state to offer both. They were predominately Abstinence education before lawmakers decided the transition about a year ago.
Lastly what I found while researching this topic was how different organizations express their feelings. Especially the Advert Organization, who only promotes Abstinence lifestyle of living. I found that they make their presence strongly within third world countries, yet continue to express their message through their website, Advert.org.

Halloween Weekend!

This weekend is going to be insanely fun. Women have an excuse to dress skimpy without any judgment, the guys are dress up and have no complaints no matter how they look, and best of all, you can be someone you're not. My costume of choice this year? Keith Stone, from the Keystone Light commercials. I have the whole attire and I am spot on in how he looks. I plan on dropping lines like "hold my stones" and have people tell me that I am so smooth and just reply, "always". I am proud to say I may have the best costume on campus. It is original and I guarantee no one will have the same costume.

I am curious to see what people are for Halloween, but Keith Stone is as smooth as they come.

Nothing New Here

All quiet on the home front. Not an eventful weekend at all. Had exams, usual routine with classes and such. Yet this cold has been kicking my butt all week. As the weather changes, you know everyone gets sick. I have so many friends who are sick right now as well. I most likely got it from them.
But besides the point, next weekend is fall break, and as fast as school has been going, its going to be here really fast. I am excited to go home for the weekend. I have only been home once this year, so a weekend at home with relaxation is defiantly a great incentive for a stressful midterm week(s). I plan on going to Western and Central Michigan University as well when I am home. I have lots of friends who I have yet to see in months. I need to see them. It has been way too long.
Other than that, I am going to keep doing what I doing, work hard and try and get the best grades possible on my exams. I hope everyone has a great weekend as well.

Here We Go Again...

This blog post is different the usual. I find myself so stressed and I really want this semester just to end already. Some of my professors (excluding Dr. Hartman) have really been pushing my buttons lately and I am starting to get so irritated. My math prof decides to dump this on us for the weekend. (Let me restate that she doesn't do a thing teaching wise in my class). So each homework assignment she assigns us, takes at least an hour and a half to two hours. She decides to give us two assignments. Then she decides for us to take a quiz online. The quiz is timed for 75 minutes, and it usually takes that long. Even though we can take it four times, I at least take it three times. Seems like the third time I get a good enough grade in which I am satisfied with. So our hour count is now up to almost 8 hours of homework. Then she decides, well I don't think that is enough, lets do 20 pages of notes. Great. Another almost two hours to go through the online program and take notes from the videos from the stuff she should be teaching us in class. Now we are up to 10 hours for the weekend. Then to top it all off for her class. Exam on Wednesday. Lady, YOU ARE CRAZY! I'm pretty sure everyone's jaw dropped in class when she said all this. So the last few nights I have been up real late doing this crap she assigns us. I'm pretty sure that 99.9% of the students who take MATH 111 will not be needing it for their major. That's what irritates me the most.
Then on top of all this my father had a heart attack this week. Blessed by god he is doing alright. He's been in the hospital for the last few days and hopefully he gets released tomorrow. Living three hours away really sucks right about now. Knowing my father is ok, makes it a little better but also knowing I have all this math, three exams next week and my father having a heart attack. It's been a terrible last 3-4 days. I need to get through this week and then things will settle down again for a little bit. I am really looking forward to NEXT weekend when all this is done. But most of all I am looking forward to next semester. I know it will not be as stressful of a semester. I am just continuing to work hard and try and make it out of this semester alive. As much as I would love to have the grades I set out to be. Realistically, I just don't see it happening. I am going to continue to work hard and try my very best.
I leave everyone on this note. Everyone should cherish everyday that they have on earth, cherish the health of themselves and family, and cherish the life they have. For whoever has a healthy family and is seeing success from hard work. Never stop what you are doing and continue to strive for your goals. Hard work always pays off, and always rewards the people who do it.

Make or Break

Right now I feel like that we are in the point within the semester that it's going to make or break your grade in every class. We are coming up on midterms and time is starting to dwindle to try and improve your grade as much as possible. I certainly got to a rocky start to the semester, but I am changing it up and wanting to improve my grades before it is too late. Certainly Econ and Math are whooping my butt pretty bad, but my best grade is in here, just need to improve upon my business class and music history, because I find that there is no excuse to have less than a B in those classes. But I am certainly doing my best and working harder. I am a transfer student from community college, so I almost consider myself a freshman this year, by coming into a real college environment. Despite the slow start, I think I have found the solution to turn my grades around and become more optimistic on my grades and school.

Week to Week

First off I can't believe its Friday already! This week just seemed like it started, I guess that's what happens when you're constantly busy. But I am certainly not complaining.

Next weekend however is going to be awesome. I'm driving back home with a few buddies from here. We are going to the Central Michigan-Ball State game. I have a lot of friends up at Central that I haven't seen in months, also I want them to meet my best friends down here. I think its going to be awesome to get back with old friends, and mix it in with new friends.

It's going to be a long trip however, the drive will be about 4-5 hours, but we will get up there Friday night, maybe do our thing for the night, then wake up the next morning, possibly tailgate then hit the game at 3:30. It will be really fun, and defiantly a good weekend at the very least. 

Stress Week

This week has been so chaotic. Three Exams, one project, and a final paper in this class. Welcome to college life though right? The weekend can't come soon enough. I look forward to watching some football and RELAXING! Sorry to the Notre Dame fans, MSU will put another loss in your loss column this weekend.
This weekend will probably be quiet around here, since everyone I know is either going home or going to the Ball State-Purdue game. The quiet weekend won't bother me though, it's nice to just to get away from the ordinary. Well overall during the week, school has taken over, I want my social life back and get away from school. For now.
