Class....

Last week and the beginning of this week we had to write our first paper for the class. We had to write 500+ words on a character analysis of a story that we read for homework. We had to write how we related to a character. I chose the story "How to Become a Writer". At first I struggled with which character I wanted to write about, but after writing a super rough draft, I re-wrote it and it was a lot better. One class we brainstormed on the board and that was pretty helpful. Two classes were for editing. The first time we met in groups some of us didn't even have a rough draft, and I only had like a paragraph, which sucked. The second class we had groups and I had a "full" rough draft and I thought that it was pretty decent. We all read each others papers and I got some feed back. I think it would have been more successful if we could have picked our own groups! But ohwell!

2014 Winter Olympics

I have always looked forward to the Olympics when they come either in the summer or winter. When I found out they were in Russia, I was concerned that there were going to be problems, but luckily there hasn't been any major ordeals! I missed most of the Opening Ceremony because I was working, but that's okay because the best part is the actual events! My favorites are the different snowboarding events and figure skating. Both are pretty inspiring to me because I could never dream to do such things on ice or in the air like these athletes do. They all make it seem so natural and easy! The Olympics takes years of dedication, practice and passion, which most people don't have...especially if you are snowboarding with a broken rib! Watching the athletes preform is pretty exciting and makes me a nervous wreck, especially when USA is competing. Also, it's cool to see the different countries, especially the ones that I have been to like Ukraine and Italy. It's crazy to think that some of them are my age or younger and instead of going to college classes they are in the Olympics! It's also hard to say if I prefer the summer or winter games. They both have aspects that I like. The best thing that I like about the Olympics is that is when the world seems to come together despite all of the differences and troubles we all have.

Go USA :)

WORKING!

Working at Vincenzo's sucks. Grace is a mean and likes to boss people around and thinks she can do what she wants. She always gets to leave early any night, especially if she has plans. She always gets free food, when I am starving and about to die. She really sucks at waitressing.
Just kidding guys,
I really have enjoyed working and it has been very beneficial to me. I like being a waitress because I meet new people and I like the girls I work with. The family I work for is really nice and we have a good time! The money is good when I waitress, especially on the weekends. I work with my best friends Morgan and Grace and it makes it a lot more fun. At first I was scared I would suck at waitressing and I wouldn't be able to remember the menu, but it has gotten easier as I have worked more. Everyone come and eat at Vincenzo's Italian Restaurant in Colonial Heights!
