Elephant blow up dolls sind schwer zu unter Ihrem Bett passen. Jeder muss mit Schaf-Stick.
It seems as if my writing is starting to improve significantly, week by week. I am very excited to be getting into these major papers finally. Arguing is one of biggest specialties, and I think that I should do excellent in this portion of the class. With the research class that I took, I didn't have any problem at all with my annotated bibliography. I'm realizing that most of my classes are somehow tying into me as a writer. With all the note taking and free-writing that I have done in the past week, I'm starting to get a lot better at what I do. Although I hate to admit it, the Rottenberg note taking has really helped me out with writing. It helps me take notes better and quicker, since I now know what to look for. It was actually pretty disappointing that I only got a 24 out of 25 on my last set of notes, since I had received 25 out of 25 on all of them before that one. It just made me realize that I need to pay a little more attention and do a little more research in my writing. I am pretty happy with how my writing is coming a long, and very excited about the topics that I chose for my argumentative papers. Naturally, I'm going to have to go for the A, so I have a lot of work ahead of me. Writing doesn't feel like a burden to me anymore this semester. i kind of look at as a reward and a break for the monotony of test taking and other stupid assignments.

Sinking my balls in the pocket
APA leagues have given me quite a bit of confidence lately. However, I've been pretty disappointed in my teams performance the past two weeks. I just wish I could figure out a way too have my confidence and cockiness on the pool tables, rub off on the rest of the team. The first two sessions that I captained this team, we got first place. We were in first two weeks ago and have dropped near the bottom since. I just don't understand how five of the best players in the league can drop from first place so drastically, in so little time. I am still undefeated this session, where as everyone else on my team has a losing record. I'm the only one on the whole team that has won in two weeks. I have to accredit this to my extreme cockiness and confidence when I'm playing; and the fact that I play pool like a god when I'm drunk. LOL.
People look at cockiness as a bad thing, but I don't really see it that way. I like to compare cockiness and confidence too geniuses. What I mean by this is that a genius is going to have to work way less than a normal person to succeed in a educational setting; where as a cocky/confident person has to work less than a timid/fearful person in everyday life. I kind of just went out on a limb with this blog because of my frustration with the way that leagues have been going lately. Screw wanting to be like Mike. I wanna be like me. For everyone on my team that reads this; (which I know some of you will) come out of your shells and let's represent like we have in the past.

Your mother still loves my writing
I have noticed quite a bit of improvement in my writing outside of school, more than anything. My lyrics have been flowing like crazy lately. It's been easier to think of related words, and too write longer songs. It's been really great. I haven't had to put as much effort into the lyric writing, and the songs have gotten a lot better. I've actually written more lyrics in the last two semesters than I have since I started writing. I guess I owe this to Steph and English.
Another thing that I have noticed is that I don't really have much trouble with writing about anything that is thrown at me. My sentence variety is getting better, except in my blogs. Lol. I'm starting too like the blogs a lot more though because I can just be free, and do whatever I want. I find that if I have freedom in blogs, that it makes me write a lot better and faster in my real writing assignments.
One really cool thing is that even when I'm writing a successful paper for class, the other part of my brain is writing music lyrics at the same time. I didn't realize that I could do that until just realize, but I definitely like it. I'm also starting to get a little bit better at the grammatical aspect of things and sentence structure. I don't hate them anymore, and actually care about it. LOL. Anyways, I'm gonna stop writing and go home. Nap time.

*******Lot of cussing so if you dont like it dont read it *****
So i decided to throw my opinions out about a lot of the people in this English 111 class. I'm sure that I'm going to piss a lot of people off but I really don't give a shit to be honest. It just has to be said, cuz it's been pissing me off since day one. People need to stop bitching about every little assignment that we get assigned. Why can't everyone realize that it's time to put out or get out. What I mean is this is college not middle school. Put a little effort into the work, and dont wait till the last minute and the class isnt gonna be that hard. Or fucking drop the class. I know not everyone agrees with all the assignments, including myself; but Stephanie is a kick ass teacher and knows what she is doing. I think everybody needs to just give her a break and do what we gotta do. Her class isn't hard if you put forth a little effort. I was in 110 and got an A without having to bust my ass. That class was much harder than 111 in my opinion.
I have to say that I was pretty pissed off today when everyone was complaining and got the quiz canceled, and now we have to do the stupid summary bullshit. It's all cool except some of us spent a ton of time that we didnt have reading the chapter and taking tons of notes for the quiz. Now I and a couple others have to do a summary on shit that we took four pages of notes on already. FUCK!!!
