Spring

This spring has been a good one so far. One interesting thing i learned this year is how we determine when it is spring each year. When the sun is directly above the equator in the middle of the day. Then it is considered the first day of spring. In my opinion, the best part about Spring is the weather. The snow starts to go away and we start to feel more warm. We experience more thunderstroms which give me a feeling of excitement which i love.

In Case of a Zombie Apocalypse

Lately I've been pondering with what i would do if the zombie apocalypse were to happen. I know that Aaron would help me out if an infection were to break out. The real strength is in numbers when it comes to fighting off hordes of zombies. The first thing we would have to do is definatly leave Mankato as soon as possible. We would most likely head west and go through rural area and then heading as far up north as we can. This wont be an easy task though. Just getting through the city could take days based on how many infected people we have to face. Hopefully, we dont have this outbreak anytime soon, but we might as well prepare for it by making supplies, stocking up on food and organizing zombie fighting teams.

Apocalypse Now

The movie Apocalypse Now is a movie that i'd say changed my perspective of some things. A lot of interests and my projected major are in Psychology. This film definatly has a sort of psychological tone that has lots of hidden meanings. It's mostly interesting to me because it takes time to figure out the real meaning of the movie and understanding the psychology of the characters that are being played. This was the first movie i ever watched that got me interested in that sort of thing.

Waking up this morning

This morning when i got out of bed i noticed the floor looked a lot messier than from last night. I walked over to the light switch and ended up stepping on a dvd case. I then realized my whole entire rack of dvd came crashing down on the floor in the middle of the night. What i'm still trying to figure out is how the sound of 50 dvds falling at the same time didnt wake me up.

My biggest pet peeve

What really bothers me most about some people is when they whisper while I'm right next to them. Its not so much the paranoid feeling that they are talking about me its just how awkward of a feeling it gives too everyone in the conversation. This also goes for mumbling which i consider just as similar to whispering. An example is the other day when i was playing a 2 hour long board game (in which i deeply regretted) and the two girls sitting next to me wouldn't stop whispering. They were working together so they had to communicate with each other in some way but sitting next to them for 2 hours straight and hearing only the snake-like sounds of their voices come out drove me crazy pretty fast. Even when they were talking normally they mumbled the last half of all their sentences. This i just cant stand and i began to feel claustrophobic in a way that all i wanted to do was flip over the table and yell at them. I felt tremors coming on and sweating, just ready to break. I may be taking it to the extreme but mumbling and whispering is just too annoying to me.

The Semester so far

So far, this semester has been a lot more work than last semester. I was only taking 13 credits prior to this semester and one of my classes was completely online. I usually only had to do about 5 or 6 hours of work/studying every week and now i find myself doing about 4 hours of work a day. Today is finally a relief since i don't have anything to do today and i can get back to my Halo 3 needs. I also find myself reading a lot more this semester with not only The Zookeepers Wife, and other studying materials but also with the book i bought a couple weeks ago called A Scanner Darkly. I'm actually liking this semester a little more since my friends always had homework to do and constantly called me lazy when now i constantly have things to do and shifting to this type of school schedule i know will help me in the long run.

My expectations of english composition 101

What is expect to learn from this English comp 101 class is to be able to develop the skill of writing assignments at a faster pace than in high school. I know that by learning this skill early on will help me throughout my college career. What I'm hoping to learn from the instructor are tips on how to approach different types of writing techniques. I expect that by the time i finish this course I'll be able to write papers, essays and other writing assignments easier and more efficiently.
