Blogging Final Reflection

As this assignment comes to an end it is time to reflect about how we feel about the project. I found blogging honestly kind of a hassle. I didnt find it a hassle because I had to do it becasue of the way we had to do it. I hate using the blogger website because I have had so much trouble with it. I had to set it up three times because it knocked me off everytime i logged off. Although I didnt like the website I really do feel that I am more in touch with hoe to write again. It reminded me how to expand on a subject which really helped me write my papers that were also due. I found it a challenge to find topics to write about. I know there are endless sources that will give you prompts but when I looked them up I had such a hard time trying to figure out which one I would use. The process that I mostly used was just to write as I go. I used this to vent about alot of things and just share my feelings about a subject as I thought of them. I belive that taught me how to save time and expand more on a subject when I'm writing papers. I discovered that the best way for me to write blogs is to sometimes use a subject and sometimes just to write what I am thinking at the moment. As I mentioned before this project has changed me by making me a better writer. I have better grammar and have learned to use my imagination when I am doing freewrites and just whenever i'm writing in general.

Blog Post

The journal prompt that I chose to write about said "when did you realize that your judgement about someone was wrong?" I chose this because this actually recently just happened to me. There was a new girl hired on at my work and for some reason I just didnt like her. She has bleach blonde and just seemed to have a snotty attitude. I really did try to talk to her and she acted like a stuck up but I didnt give her much of a chance. I had heard from others who work with me that she was slow and couldnt keep up and seemed kind of rude. Of course I had to work with her shortly fallowing my bad ideas about her and it turned out completly different then i thought it would. she was actually really nice and we had a lot in common. I learned that just because someone doesnt laugh and smile alot doesnt mean they are rude and stuck up. We even made plans to hang out and go shopping and to the gym sometime this week. I feel really bad now that I even thought that about her. I also feel bad that we used to talk bad about her up at the nurses station when she wasnt around. I'm trying to decide if I should apologize to her or just pretend it didnt happen. I dont know I probably won't say anything unless she brings it up. This lesson has taught me to watch my mouth and get to know the person before I judge them.

This is my final draft for this week. I am very excited beacuse I've spent so much time transferring those other freewrites from the paper on to the computer that I feel like I'm going to fall asleep. I really need to get to bed because these last few days I can hardly keep my eyes open. I have been so tired and all Iwant to do is sleep. I know i can't but I usually feel good after any bit of sleep but not today or even the past few days. I really though about taking a nap before doing this last blog but I knew I wouldn't get up and type it plus that would just be a hassle. I would rather just get it done and over with and sleep the whole night away and tomorrow morning as well. This is sort of wrapping me up. I reall have nothing to say and I'm tired of stretching my brain to find things. Goodnight everyone. This girl is headed to bed!

My first flight was actually quite interesting. It was my sister and I and we were flying to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. We were going there to visit my mom amd her half of the family. Us girls were a bit younger then and we were seriously lost. We didn't know how to find our seats or where to sit our luggage or what. We finally got some help and everything was all figured out. The next thing that happened was they wanted the people sitting by the emergency exit to wave at the crowd. Of course we got all nervous beacause we thought that meant us but we weren't sure. Well it did mean us. So then they gave us all of these instructions which we didn't even come close to understanding and left us to figure the rest out. It was pretty scary knowing that if something bad had happened everyone would have been screwed all due to us. When the passed snacks that was the most entertaing part of the whole trip. Kimberly (my sister) had eaten her cookie, smashed chocolate chips all over her teeth and then smiled at the folks behind us. They were elderly and they didn't think it was cute I'm pretty sure it actually upset  them. The obviously though she was rude and I was just completly embaressed. I was glad to see the flight end I just know people were glad to see us two go as well.

Right now I am very upset again. I really do hate this blogger. Everytime I try to get online I have to deal with crap of resetting my password. It is really annoying that every time i try to log in I am unable to do so. Even though gmail sucks I really don't like the idea of blogger anyways. I really don't like putting myself out there. I do not have a myspace or facebook because of simply that. I don't want everyone to know every little piece of information about me or my family. Social networking sites are also nothing but drama. I know everyone says it's because I'm young that there is so much drama and that may be true but that is why I do not participate in such activites. It consumes your life, let's everyone into your business and will start drama as soon as possible. Some people do not need the stress in their lives of this crap so I thought I'd vent and get all of that and how I feel out into the open.

Today I thought I'd write about some cool adventures that i've been on. Some of the cool adventure include a cruise, skiing, parasailing and air boating. I can't really say which one was my favorite but I can say that there were likes and dislikes about all of them. First one is the cruise. I really enjoyed the cruise but I was sea sick almost the entire first half of the trip. I did get to leave the country and experience new people, places and thier ways of life but my stomach just couldn't handle it. The cruise had amazing food and great entertainment but if I could go now it would be a whole lot more fun. I could go see all the shows and go to the casino as much as I wanted. The second cool adventure was skiing. I went on a church youth trip to do this and all Ican say is that I really suck at it. I never even left the bunny hill for beginners. I fell almost evertime I got up and everytime I rode those ski things over the land I would fall getting off. I had a lot of fun though. Trying was so entertaining and no matter what I couldn't even talk myself into giving up. The third cool adventure was parasailing. It was awesome. I went with my mom and cousin and would do it any day again in a heartbeat. If you ever go and they ask you if you want to dip you must say yes. It is the most fun part of the whole ride.The last adventure was air boating. It was fun but it was so loud and almost kind of scary. The boat wasn't scary it was the alligators looking up at us from below. I just kept imagining one jumping up on to my lap. It was nerve wracking. I have had the opportunity for some great experinces in my life due to my awesome grandpa. He is wonderful and I hope he knows how great he is for insuring that I get to have every opportunity possible.

Today I actually decided to write with a theme. As I was researching I found one that said "Describe your weirdest dream and all the details," so I decided to write about it. The weirdest dream I can remember having actually happened the other night. The dream all started when I was at work and oddly Florence asked me for help to the restroom. If you knew Florence like I do you would know that she will not ask for help even if she needs it. Anyways I went into her bathroom and helped her get all situated and the next thing I know I'm grabbing her pillow and blanket off her bed and laying down in the bathroom floor. If you knew me you would know that i wouldn't do that for anything. I would simply vomit if I was forced to touch the floor. When I finally woke up after my nap Florence was no where to be found and I had been asleep for two hours. I immeditally ran out to the floor and started looking for my partner. I found him/her (I'm not sure who it was) and they were assisting Elsie to the bathroom. I ran in to help to try to cover up that I was sleeping on the job, but when I ran in I accidently pushed Elsie and she fell on her head. This wasn't just a fall this was like an almost impossible fall. I was so scared I didn't know what happened to me or her. Finally I woke and I was frantic yet relieved. It was so disturbing because these are two people that I work with regularly and I completly did things that would definatly get me fired. I really hope I don't dream those awful lies again, but if I do I hope I know it's only a dream this time.
