Wheww....



This has been a really tough week for me I have some health issues and they got the best of me for lack of a better term. Now I have to play catch up and try and feel better at the same time. The pain is unbearable and the insomnia is tiring, what am i gonna do? I have to fight so much harder for simple things people take for granted. I know im supposed to talk about what we did in class but Ive been so ill that I had to go to the Cancer Center for 6 bags of fluids and it still did not make me feel any better or energetic, I am going through a mini-crisis,so of course I missed class. I made it to class on thursday and we did conferences on our papers I was having some trouble with mine but Im not sure if its from the lack of sleep or if I just am confused. I dont Know. I go back for more fluids and medicine on Wednesday so hopefully I will get better soon. I checked my grade for my narrative essay and I was Surprised I didnt know that I was capable of that. It felt good. Writing has actually been a way for me to deal with my pain it takes my concentration off of it. So I started keeping a journal about my pain, school, and social health. Hopefully I can make it through the hospital throughout the semester. I really enjoy this class and miss the interaction with my classmates but as Kate pointed out Thursday when I showed up for class instead of getting better, I looked the way I felt. Well as for now Im unsure of when I am going to be able to get out of my bed so I guess its more Fight Club and 1984 for me!!!!

Comparison/Contrast


I really enjoyed this week in class. We used compare and contrast to analyze an ad from the adbusters website. It really helped so I went on the website and found this one. What does this say to anyone? I dont really have much to say to about this week. I ve been tired and I am ready to talk about Tiger Woods. Well we just talked about the essay. many people thought that thed essay was difficult, but io thought the essay was interesting even though I had to research many of the examples. Now this add i got out of adbusters and although it has no words i felt it was an ad about our culture and so I would like to see what others think.... Please comment on this.... If it said "Got Milk?" would it change the ads message?

What a week!!


Wow! what a week in class we talked about our comparison and contrast essay, sounds simple enough but I dont know seems like im having trouble starting. Im doing my essay on budweiser and im just unsure of how to put my thoughts on paper. I probably should brianstorm. Anyway, I'm not really a "blogger" but who knows maybe itll grow on me. Im really excited to find new things like reading 1984 and watching Fight club i already rented the movie and rented the book. Extra Credit here I come. I need to get a grip on these blogs before they start to affect me so like the zombies of Old Navy I must conform to the way of the world (class), Or watch out for Big brother( Kate), because every one knows her wrath will turn it into a Brave New World.
