Class this week

In class this week we learned what the requirements of project 3, and what has to be in it. I had a 3 page paper to write about the fantasy paper. My paper was about a weird type of talking fish that has to make a big decision. If anyone wants to more about it then you'll just have to read it :).The how to paper is mainly on the five stories that I read in the book from Oxford.  Some of the stories were almost 30 papers long, so I looked for the stories with the least amount of pages to save time. Overall I thought that the journals took the longest between the three different activities. This was because you would have to read the story then write the entry. There wasn't any flow when it came with writing the entry. You always had to stop and go again.

Thanksgiving Break

It was extremely nice seeing my family during Thanksgiving break. I haven't been home since I've come up to school with the busy soccer schedule I have. So going home and seeing all of my family was really nice, I just wish that the break was longer then it was. I really missed my mom's cooking and my own bed. The food in the dorms is disgusting and I don't know how much longer I can eat it. Also, my bed is getting to small for me. I don't know how a bed could be small for me because how short I am! Don't get me wrong I love college, but there is also a lot of different perks for going home. It's kind of nice being back at college with all the independence we get, but on the other hand I can't wait for winter break to be able to see all of my friends again! Overall the break was very good and the food was even better.

Class last period

In last class we talked about what we have to write about in the upcoming project. I'm going to write about how to write fantasy stories. I decided to write about fantasy because I believe that with my imagination it will be easier to write it. I can write about almost anything and it can constitute as a fantasy type of story. It's different then a fairy tale because in fantasy the protagonist doesn't always have to win, and the villain can win at the end. It all just depends how the author wants the story to end. It doesn't have to be all childish either. Fantasy stories can have a dark and ominous side to the story. Hopefully the story goes well, but I don't know how it won't because it's my own imagination that I will be using. 

Some ideas for fantasy paper

I have many ideas that are buzzing around my head for this project, but I'm not sure which one would be easier to write about. I don't want to give the ideas away for other people to use, but over the last couple days its been in my mind. The only thing that is bothering me a little, is that we haven't even finished are last essay, but we have started another project already. It will be a little hard to finish both, but hopefully it will all work out especially with soccer being over. That means I can have more time for soccer, and really focus on my studies more now. My grades have been pretty good so far, I just want to make sure that they don't fall for anything stupid at the end of the semester.

Last class period

In the last class period we discussed some problems people were having with our essays. I really enjoy these discussions in class because it makes it easier to fix the problems. If we know how the professor wants the essays to look, then it makes it so much more comfortable when we're writing it. The only reason for this is because it becomes less stressful when this happens. We also discussed about the next big project that we have, and my topic I chose was fantasy. I feel like this will be a fun project to write because you can make it how you want it. There isn't that many requirements in order for it.

Season Comes to and End

This weekend was the end of our season. We needed to be in the top four in order to make it into the mac tournament and it didn't happen. We had to get at least one point against Akron, the number 2 team in the country, but sadly we lost  1 to 0 with a goal in the 84th minute. It was a devastating loss for everyone, we had defended so well for so long, but just couldn't hold on. This meant it was an end to our four seniors and captains college careers. All I kept thinking about was how upset I would be in there shoes right now. I have no idea what I would do without soccer. It's the only thing that keeps me entertained and busy. My life would be so boring without soccer. We have a month break off soccer and I think it's the worse month.

Last class period

Last class we read each others essays and peer reviewed them for each other. I really don't enjoy doing the reading aloud because sometimes the reader corrects the mistakes for the writer just so it sounds like it flows. Therefore, you can't really determine if the mistake is the reader or the writer, and it gets awkward asking them. I think that if we all switched papers and read it silent to ourselves, that it would work just as good as reading it aloud. Also, when reading aloud you hear the other students reading the other essays aloud. It gets a little hard to concentrate on just one essay rather than hearing the one your suppose to be hearing. Other than that I really like peer reviews because it shows you what you can improve on in the next essay.
