Ugh... Weekend

So this essay.... I wouldn't say I'm ready to tackle it just yet. I just picked my topic (Why Americans should take more holidays and longer vacations) and am slightly unsure of where I should be headed. I suppose I'll start by looking at Jake's but my main concern is time. This is a sucky weekend to have to worry about an essay.

So far so good

Just thought I would say that I'm liking college english a lot more than brit lit. I'm really looking forward to when we start reading 1984 because I think it sounds interesting and I like reading so much more than writing. Ive been meaning to start reading 1984 for a while but I never had the time and I could never remember the name of the book (I'm really bad with remembering numbers).

Steps

I am so glad that we went over all of the steps for research and that we are continuing to go over it tomorrow. Some of it was a revelation! Why didn't anyone tell us about this process before? It seems like it would simplify things immensely when writing research projects!

Stuck Between a Scylla and.... an Essay Prompt

I don't know what essay prompt to choose. Here are my thoughts I've narrowed it down let me know what you think would be best. Keep in mind it needs to have enough researchable information. Here's my Charybdis:
-The continuing decline of CD sales along with the rapid growth of music downloads signals a new innovation in pop music.
-College athletes should be exempt from normal class attendance policies.
-Any student caught cheating on an exam should be automatically dismissed from the college
-All students in high school and college should be required to take at least two years of foreign language.

Let me know what you think

Yay for Blog Invites!

Well, I'm finally not a lurker anymore! Yay for blog invites! I can actually post stuff! Anyway, I'm a bit excited for these controversial discussions. Our lunch was so "inspired" today that we had our own little discussion. Which ended up being extremely outnumbered but it was still intriguing (and extremely frustrating). But still, to have two sides of an issue that both sides are sooo vehemently convicted for their side it's kinda neat. Anyway, in short, I'm looking forward to these presentations.

Persuasive Essay

Well, all in all I think that I'm ready for the persuasive essay. I'm planning to write on why the US should abolish the electoral college.

Finally

Well I finally figured it out! I had to create a new g-mail account but oh well at least everything is working now! I am really excited about the controversial issue discussion coming up. After the debate today, whew! it is going to be heated! That will make it very interesting and exciting!
