Class on Sept. 27

In class today we had to read this article about Frey and how he lied about certain facts in his memoir. We discussed about what each of us would consider a lie in a memoir. Everyone had different opinions on what they perceived as a lie. After that we all talked about the first part of ILHL, which was a group discussion. Our class was having a little dispute about whether or not it was okay for the doctors to experiment on Henrietta's cells. Also, if it was okay for them to do it on all patients that have free health care. The discussion didn't get out of hand, but it was fun seeing the room compete and argue with each other to prove their own opinions and beliefs. Lastly, we had to figure out something to write about for our literacy narratives that our due next Thursday. I decided my topic would be on a book I read my freshmen year of high school. I won't tell anyone....it's a surprise haha. We have to get our rough draft done by next Tuesday so I am sure by then that I will have an elaborate plan on how to write the narrative. One things for sure though, it's still hard trying to manage time with soccer and class. We've been missing a lot of time lately for late games.

Time Management

I never realized how hard it would be to manage my time at college. Everyone always said how hard it was and I figured it was just a thing all college kids say. Now I know that it is true. Playing soccer and having fifteen credits is making it hard to find time for homework and studying. When I get back from soccer all I ever want to do is take a nap and regain some energy, but I can't because of homework and having to go to study tables. It doesn't help that I've had to miss almost three classes in every class. We have been traveling every where lately and it's taking a toll on everyone's bodies and minds. I need to find a better way to manage my time and not forget about homework due dates, or what time practice is and where it's at. Hopefully as the year goes on I figure out what is the best strategy for me. If it's a planner or a calendar, to make sure that I know when and where, or even alarms on my phone letting me know when things are due. It's the beginning of my freshmen year of college so I am not that concerned that I am having trouble with it now. I know that I will find a way that works with me best because it always has in the past, and I hate missing assignments. Especially because I just forgot about them because I have too much on my mind.

Class on Sept. 20

Class on September 20th went by very fast because we were busy the whole time. When it started we had to right three memorable quotes from a television show or movie. I chose How I Met Your Mother because I have seen all the seasons probably three times through. It was fun trying to guess what other peoples quotes were from. Some nobody knew what it was, others everyone in class knew which where it was from. After we were done with that, we went over the readings from the book. We split into groups and each had a section of readings that we had to answer questions about. I had excerpt three which was about how she couldn't have certain friends if her mom didn't approve of them. But she did have a lot of friends at school from different "groups" in her school.

Class on Sept.11

Class today was a little more work for Cam and I then the other students. Since we missed class last Thursday for a game in Buffalo, we had to catch up on late work and make our blogs today. I chose a blog about soccer of course because now at college its one of the only things I do. Other than the occasional time to eat....haha. The blog I decided to research was about my favorite soccer team Manchester United. It was a fan club blog with news about transfers and injuries. In the end it was that bad and we both finished everything about ten minutes before last got out anyway.

About Me

My name is Sean Hazen and I have one brother named Andrew that attends Western with me as well. Also, I play on Western's Mens soccer team this fall and spring. I'm not really sure what I want to study at Western yet, but all I know is it will either be engineering or something science related. I hope to do well this year in my studies and throughout my four years here.
