Lisa Lawrence ENC1101-10 Week 3 I almost felt like a teenager sneaking home after being out all night. Instead, I was a Mother of three pretending as I just woke up. “Hey honey, got to leave early today, I have a road test to take.” “Sorry to hear that, how early?” I proceeded to the kitchen where coffee was brewing and Chuck was looking for his yellow and blue coffee mug. “Oh about an hour should leave me plenty of time.” I could care less really, but pretended as I did, assuring the next two hours would be peaceful. I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer.
December 2014 I've read Villehardouin's chronicle of the Fourth Crusade at least two times, maybe three. And yet if I had to write down everything I remember from it, I doubt it would amount to much more than a page. Multiply this times several hundred, and I get an uneasy feeling when I look at my bookshelves. What use is it to read all these books if I remember so little from them? A few months ago, as I was reading Constance Reid's excellent biography of Hilbert, I figured out if not the answer to this question, at least something that made me feel better about it.
Unwinding in front of my computer screen after a long day at school I notice an unread email: Detention Notice for Lunch Absence. This message has got to be some kind of cruel joke. Not only have I not missed a lunch this week, I have not missed one all year. However, once again due the grand inefficiencies of lunch room I will be spending my Saturday morning not in my bed, but in a bland room biding my time. Given the sufficient funds I would fix the numerous issues the lunch room at my school has allowing it to become a more efficient system.
History was quite a challenge like I had expected. Being in a college level class taught me how to manage my time wisely. At first it was hard because I was so used to having a limited quantity of homework, that when my AP teacher gave us our six page assignment I was flabbergasted. Though the paper was due within three days I still felt like I was struggling.After completing the assignment I knew I conquered the Challenging assignment. Besides taking an AP Course in school I took a Political Science course at Hunter College.
It’s obvious that Mr. Ferguson is extremely tired when he comes off shift yet is expected to attend treatment three times a week in the mornings. Personally, I would be angry, frustrated, and tired so I am recommending that we change his treatments to the afternoons so that he can give 100% towards attending these sessions. As far as his attitude, I understand that you may not like it but that is not a reason to revoke his probation. I will have a talk with him regarding his behavior and I am sure it will change once he sees the recommendations. In regards to not completing community service, once again we have to look at his schedule.
UCOR 101 Thinking and Writing made me come to the realization that writing papers for college is completely different than writing for high school level classes. Throughout high school the effort I put forth was not near the amount of effort that is required for college classes. I would write a paper the night before it was due and hand it in and get a good grade without any negative comments from my teachers. Unfortunately I carried this bad habit over into college. My UCOR 101 teacher scrutinized the first paper that I wrote and he could tell it was written the night before and even referred to it as a high school paper.
I could not screw this one up, so I spend thirty minutes on trying to figure it out, and I finally got it figured out. To this day I cannot remember how I did tie that tie, so in the end I was just lucky to tie it. One thing I do not like in essays is very short paragraphs. I like to read metaphors, but I am not good at making metaphors, so I did not use any. I do not like when beginning and end is
In the first week, I decided to go to sleep earlier then before, which was at 2AM. First of all, I adjusted my schedule I did my homework earlier and was done by 12PM. Secondly, I made a compromise with myself that if I watched movies I would not play games and vice versa. However, the obstacle that I met was to change my schedule. Since I used to be a late night person.
The Government Shutdown First of all, I have never heard of a government shutdown until yesterday. After reading the news on my phone I had to call and ask a couple of people what does a government shutdown mean. Once my phone conversation was over I then had a better understanding of what was meant by shutting the government down. From my understanding and from what I read and was told, there will be a lot of people affected by the shutdown. I have also read from “Fox 2 News” that the first government shutdown was in 1995 but it only lasted three weeks.
Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours. The truth is you cannot compete with them in language, but you can compete with any American student in academic study, because they are so lazy.” I was so excited, even though I did not know if it was true or not. After a whole day trip, I found my dorm in PFT with a tired body and spirit. “What does my roommate like?” I was thinking before I opened the door. All the lights were on but no body was in the room.
