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.

Kevin's Life


My name is Kevin Reinhardt, i turned 19 in December and i was born in New Jersey. I've been in Minnesota for a total of 8 or 9 years but have moved around a lot when i was a kid. I only stayed in New Jersey for about 5 or 6 months until i moved to Maryland where my only memory from then was falling down the stairs in my walker, thankfully landing on a bunch of pillows, i believe god then decided i was to live in this world. I then moved to Plymouth, Minnesota when i was around 4 or 5 up until my 5th grade year when we decided to move back to the east coast. We moved to the state of New Hampshire that i enjoyed a lot up until we again moved back to Minnesota, ironically back into the same neighborhood and i have been here, in Minnesota ever since.
