Class discussion

Last Friday, Class was cut pretty short. I felt that the class discussion and activity on the different themes of our movie choices helped greatly. It helped me with narrowing down the themes that I come up with for different movies and stories. I gathered that it is usually a two step process. Because the homework directions were clear and are on the blog as well, I have no questions or uncertainty about what is due for the next assignment. The only questions and concerns that I have are about grades. I am kind of irritated at the fact that I have no idea as to what my grade is and if it is below my standards, what I can do for myself before it is too late. I don't like how we have no grades up or to show for and we have done a good amount of work. Other than the grade situation, everything else in class is going well.

Homecoming

In a literal term, it is actually my homecoming weekend. Sadly, I have to miss my first homecoming as a western bronco this year. A very unfortunate event happened and my Grandma Frazier had passed away just over a few days ago. I haven't been able to see her often because of college starting, but I am overly blessed for having the privilege to even have her in my life. It has been a tough time dealing with it completely, but I am staying strong for the family. I'll never forget my grandma Frazier and all of the wonderful memories that I have made with her. though I am going home on such sad terms I will use this time to give all of my family the love and support that we need and I will celebrate her life lived rather than her life lost.

MidCourt

I am officially passed through the Phi Chi Theta Mid Court phase. As a pledge for the Co-ed Business Fraternity, I am now half way through with the pledge process. So far, it has been an extensive amount of work, but I am not giving up. The fraternity has offered so much to me. I have became so much more close with each member and pledge. I was just recently elected as the fundraising chair. This means that I am responsible for planning and falling through with pledge class fundraisers. I already have so many ideas and cannot wait to apply them. I am more than pleased with the turnout and look forward to all of the fun events and road trips to come.

Class analysis discussion

Though the class period was cut short, I took a lot from it. It was a challenge, but digging deep into the meanings behind Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Royals by Lorde aided greatly to my outlook on the definition of "analyzing". There aren't many questions that I have from class, but the number one lesson I learned is to always read what we are assigned. I am not looking forward to typing this essay. All in all, our class discussion of analyzing was successful.

Alexis

Tomorrow will be a great day! I finally get to see my best friend. Alexis moved to Arizona to go to ASU this fall. We have been by each other's side since kindergarden and I have missed her so much. We plan to go to Michigan State University to meet up with some girls and have a good time. I plan to take her to insomnia cookies and encourage her to attend WMU. I can't wait for her to come and spend so much time with me! I miss the amazing times we have had and the time we spent together. She hasn't been doing too well at ASU and is considering moving back at the semester. My goal is to make her move back at the semester. It sounds selfish, but it's for the best of both of us. I can't wait for her to come home.

Class discussion on Friday

I took a lot from our class discussion on Friday. With analyzing each song lyrics and even the meaning behind the movie "Carrie", I feel more prepared to type my analysis paper on the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness". I am consciously searching for the themes, stories and emotions in different songs as well as movies. Sometimes it gets annoying, but it's now a habit. I feel that our class discussion and different activities were pretty clear and I was able to tentively pay attention. With participating so much, I am grasping everything.
