Smoke Detectors

Living in the dorms has been fun. I have met a lot of people and I have learned a lot of things. Two days ago about 5 smoke detectors went off on my floor at 2 in the morning. Everyone woke up and took the batteries out of the them. We could not figure out why these kept going off. Finally we all received an email that said the smoke alarms keep going off because of the humidity in the building. Since I live in Laffollete I have no air conditioning so this is why all of these smoke detectors keeps going off.

Finding a song to analyz

Since I listen to a lot of music it is hard for me to choose one song. I was thinking about doing a rap song by eminem but I realized that would be a little much. I thought about doing a country song but I think it was to straight forward. I need to find something that has a lot of meaning but does not express all of it during the song. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Listening to OPP in English class.

When I was in high school I looked at college as being a fun time but also being very difficult. My classes have not been to bad and actually some days I have fun in them. I would never think that I would be listening to OPP in my college English class. I never thought I could relate that song to something educational.

Ishmael Beah

Ishmael Beah impressed me with everything he talked about. Just hearing about him was very impressive but actually seeing him in person and listening to him was something totally different. When Ishmael said, " When I came to America I was very confused on how to work different things. I did understand how the hot water just came out. I did not think that I should eat the salad because I thought I was just eating leafs." It amazes me that people still to this day still live the way he did. If they would come to America they would be confused just like Ishmael was. I learned many things listening to Ishmael and reading his book.

Stressing About The Memoir

It was Monday night at 2am when I finally finished the paper. I thought the final draft was due on Tuesday which is was just the rough draft. I think a few other people in my class thought the same thing. I now know to read the syllabus and to pay a little more attention in class. One good thing about this is that I do not have that much to correct with my paper.

Living In The Dorms

Living in the dorms has been an experience for me. I enjoy living in the resident halls for many reason but the main reason is because of how many people I meet. I enjoy making new friends and learning things about them. I also enjoy living in resident halls because I am all really close to the food. Since I live in LaFollette I am very close to the food. I have enjoyed college so far.

Memoir

I am going to write my memoir about bridge jumping. Where I live their is a lot of bridges because of the creeks that run into the Ohio River. Well ever since middle school me and a bunch of my friends would always jump of these bridges, some were 10 ft high some were 50ft high. I have probably jumped of this bridge around 20 times and nothing has happened. Well two days before I went to college a kid that was mentally challenged from my senior class got pushed off the bridge by his older brother. When he hit the water his feet got stuck in the mud and he died. So his older brother got charged with man slaughter. So I am going to write about this story and talk about how people learn from other peoples mistakes. I just hope and get it over 3 pages lol

Coming To College

Coming to college was very exciting. Some people I met were very nervous and scared about meeting new people and having to go to class. I was ready to meet new people and to start the college life. The first few days were awesome. We had no classes to worry about and no parents to worry about what we were doing. Then Monday came way to fast we actually had to get up and go to class. This is when all of us freshman realized that we are probably going to have actually open a book. Classes have not been to bad for me but I am sure some students are going crazy.
