Well, this is it. The last blog. I'm watching my cat right now, he's thinking about trying to steal food off the grill. Boy is he in for a treat when he gets up there.
On that note, it's been pretty hot out lately. Better than cold I suppose. I'd really like to see some 70-80 degree days before all the 90s kick in, and apparently that's what we're going to have tomorrow. Nice days really do a lot for my mood and overall attitude.
Does anyone know if you can swim at the aquatic complex with a Buck ID ?
I need a pool for Olympic training.
I was going to bring my kids to class tomorrow, at least one of them (I have multiple). Colivn probably wouldn't be up for it, but I was going to bring Elijah. I don't know if Leslie would be down with that in English class though. Even if he's just sitting there coloring or reading, Eli demands some attention. He's pretty cute. A real charmer. I was going to let Aly and Kristen watch him while I was in anthropology. I was afraid they may kidnap him though. Maybe even take him to a 3rd world country and marry him. My baby's momma would never forgive me.
Think I have a place lined up on Neil or 14th. I'm in debate about getting a place now or waiting until fall though. It would be ideal to wait for various reasons, but it may be a pain finding a place closer to campus come fall. It's going to save some serious drive time though.
I need a new tv for the Columbus home. I think I'm gonna like my new place :)
Well, I think that's it. It's been fun.

Blog # 70 : English 110.01 students
Welcome to English 110.01. I'm not a model student but I will lend some helpful advice. If the format is the same as it was for our class, you will be wrting in blogs, probably daily. I'm going to suggest you do this religiously. It's kind of a pain at first, but they get easier as you go along. And writing some of the ones later on are actually kind of like therapy. I think blogs and comments are work 25% of our grade, and you may be in a similar situaiton. This is probably the most important thing you can control and stay on top of in the class.
The ARP and Commonplace papers are obviously a big part of the grade. Don't get too worked up about the ARP. Just take your time and find a good topic. Once the rough draft is out of the way, you will have time to finish your final paper.
The commomplace paper isn't too bad. Much shorter than the ARP.
If you get a chance to go to the writing lab, then do so. You may even get extra credit for this if you have an awesome teacher. You'll probably have to schedule an appointment, but its worth it.
Take the assignments seriously and perform the exercises in class. Even if you're not an English guru, you should do fine.
