Working on the group project

Clay, Luke, and I have been working on are project since 5:30. We have mostly been working on a video. I think it is very good and it should help us with our presentation. We have had a little trouble working the movie maker but luckily we figured it out. It has been interesting researching and learning things about are topic. I think we will be successful in presenting our topic.

Christmas

I don't know about anyone else but I am already sick of hearing about christmas music. I enjoy christmas but I think that some people take christmas to the extreme. Christmas is my favorite holiday partially because my birthday is the next day. I like christmas because it gives me the time to see all of my family but also, like everyone else I love getting gets.

Group Meeting

The last assignment has been going pretty well. My group has discussed exactly what we are going to do for are presentation. We have already made a pamphlet and we are currently working on a video. We are going to give information about the drug war and why drugs should be legalized. This is a very controversial issue so we have to have good reasoning and good facts.

Someone help me find a major

We are almost done with the first semester and I still have not declared a major. Someone who likes their major please help me. I like doing a lot of things but I want to make sure I will be able to make a career out of it. I have thought about majoring business, communications, teaching, and construction management. If you have any ideas on what I should major in let me know. I need to figure it out soon and I am started to get pissed.

A young boy dying in my home town

A boy named Cooper died in my home town yesterday. I knew him pretty well. I used to baby-sit him. Cooper was in 6th grade and was liked by everyone in his school. My mom told me that he died in his sleep. They are not sure exactly what happened. When his parents went in his room to wake him for school he did not wake up. He was blue and black and did not budge when they shook him. They think something happened internally but they are really not sure what happened yet.

This is why all of us should never take life for granted.
