Spring Break

Over spring break he just layed around and watched TV for the most part. Except at night he hung out with some of his friends that are still in high school. They attended a few movies as a group, and they went to Eric Merz's house to play Texas Hold em poker and played dice for a while. On Wednesday he went down to the University of Minnesota to visit his girlfriend and they made omelets and watched a movie. Friday night Eric Merz and him went to St. Olaf to visit there friend Eric Sandberg. While at St.Olaf they celebrated the St. Patrick's day festivities, and went to a dance club and had a good time. Saturday night he went back down to school with Angie to hang out with some of his friends that had not gone home for spring break and they all watched a movie together.

A Modest Proposal

After reading this short story I was a little confused. His proposal of poor people having too many kids was quite strange. He wanted to take the poor children and they could be distributed as food for people to buy. He thought this would make a lot of the towns/kingdoms problems go away. If they where to eat the kids he said that people wouldn’t go starving anymore, and people would be able to make money of selling plump children. Also, by his solution he thought that is would free up space in the town and it would provide more jobs for the rich. It would also keep poor beggars of the streets in the town. I personally disagree with his proposal. I think that there would better solutions out there, other than to eat poor children. They could enforce a law on how many kids you are allowed to have, or they could make it illegal to have children before marriage.

Go Further.

I thought the documentary was done very well. I really liked the point of view they put into the movie. They had very eye opening information such as how milk had blood and puss in it. I thought it was really cool how they made all their food and clothes from organic material or organic food. The avocado chocolate cake looked very good and I wanted to try it. It was really cool how Woody Allen and his friend biked the entire way to San Francisco from where they started. I think that they proved there point to viewers by how they were trying to stay healthy and eat healthy with all their great activities. They proved that they were working on saving the earth in a unique way with all the different events they held at colleges. They even picked up a girl and brought her on the tour with them, and she took part in all the activities they took part it. She really thought it made an impact on her life, her skin cleared up and she felt healthier as a person. In the end the documentary really made me think about what I was eating and how I could make some changes on how to live a more healthier life and reduce damage on the environment.

Learned?Concerns?

Some things that I learned from researching my topic where: I found how to use more sources then just the internet. I also learned how to site my research better and more efficant. Finally, I learned how to find better information about my topic along with more indepth information. Some concerns I still have for my papers would be that I'm working on making it all fit into the 3 to 4 pages. Lastly, I'm working on choosing what resources best fit my topic and which ones provide the best information.

Bitter Cold

When it is bitter cold outside it has a few affect on my every day life. For istance, Istead of walking to the library to study for an exam I will stay back and study in my dorm room. I tend to wake up earlyer and shower sooner so my hair dries before I step outside. When it's not even tolerable outside I won't even go to the outdoor hockey rink and skate, becuase your face and ears will just get to cold. When I walk to classes on these cold days I wear extra layers of clothes and a stocking cap. Every once and a while if it's just to cold I may just stay in and not go to class, but thats only happened once.

Song about me.

One of my favorite songs is Best rapper alive by Lil Wayne. The reason for this song being one of my favorites is it reminds me of my high school hockey career. Our team would listen to this song at least a half dozen times before we would hit the ice for warm ups. The song itself is about Lil Wayne being the best rapper alive and no one else can stop him. As a team we thought this song could represent us to help us have a winning record. After warm ups of every home game we would listen to the song one last time before we hit the ice for the game. As the season began we started off with a 7-0 record. Everything was going how we wanted to. Eventually things didn’t go our way and we ended the season with a 17-5 record. Funny thing is in the last playoff game we played a kid on our team brought a new cd with. The song best rapper alive was not on the cd. This upset many people on our team, and we ended up losing the game. I’m not saying we lost the game because we didn’t get to listen to our team song but it’s always a possibility. My senior year the song was pretty outdated by then. I still had it as my ritual. Before every game that year I would listen to that song on my iPod before I hit the ice. I don’t know if it worked but it definitely gave me more motivation to work my tail off from start to finish. That season we didn’t end up with as good of a record as the year before. I still think that song pushed me to give the extra effort and paid off in games when I needed that burst of extra energy.
