Project Progress Journal

I researched last Monday for about an hour and I also did some research last thursday for about an hour. Joe, Brodie, Brian, and I got together before hand to discuss who would be doing what for the project/presentation. We also got together this past Saturday and Sunday to collaborate. We took all of our research and created questions for our Jeopardy game and discussed how we would present our product. We did that for about an hour and a half each day over the weekend. We will be getting together tonight as well to put everything together and practice our presentation.

Halloween

It's that time of year again for everyone, of all ages, to dress up, either to go door to door in search of candy, or just for a costume party. Halloween has always been one of my favorite days of the year. Its always so fun to see what everyone dresses up as. I always went trick-or-treating when I was younger, but now I like to party with friends, "get a little hopped up, and make some bad decisions."-Wedding Crashers haha. I'm just kidding-sort of.

It's That Time of Year

Around this time of the year, the weather becomes colder and people tend to get sick more often. I am getting quite the cold and cough and it is not fun. I'm pretty sure that Brian gave it to me because he is sicker than me. Everyone needs to make sure they are washing their hands often and eliminating germs by sneezing into their sleeves and by not sharing any food or drinks. That is how easy sicknesses can spread from one person to another. So be careful and try not to get sick!

I find this article funny because of this guy's stupidity.

College Pranks

Everyone knows how funny it is to prank a friend. A couple of my friends and I pranked Brian the other night while he was in the shower. We took one of the two huge trash cans from my room and filled it completely to the top with ice water. We then proceeded to dump it on him in the shower. It was hilarious. Brian came back into the room and just said, "payback is a bitch." Later in the night after Brian found out that Cody dumped the water on him, he dumped a cup of water on him while he was dropping a fat deuce! It was epic.

Peer Review

I think the most beneficial question from the peer review is whether or not you have a thesis statement. A thesis statement previews your entire paper and gives insight to what is to come in the paper. It needs to show which literary elements are included througout the paper. I don't think that too many people in class today even know what a literary element, let alone a thesis statement. This question will defnitely help out everyone in the class earn a better grade on this paper.

No Texting While Driving For Federal Employees

President Obama just recently passed a law that federal government employees cannot text while they are driving. A couple stipulations are that they can't text while using government vehicles or cell phones and they cannot text in their own cars with personal phones if they are conducting federal business. The Obama administration also plans to extend this law to truck drivers who travel across state borders for the safety of everyone on the road. I think this is a good idea, but I am not sure how it will be enforced. It seems like it is not planned too well.
