Finals Week

This next week is finals week and I am not looking forward to it. I know I will do fine on my finals because I have all A's in my classes it's just the thought of a final. The one that I am more concerned with is my RDG 050 class because I have to take the COMPASS test and score and 81 or higher to pass the class. I think that is a little ridculous because if you have an A in the class and you don't get an 81 you automatically fail the class and have to retake the class. I have test anxiety which does effect the way I take tests and concentrate on them as well. I don't like taking tests at all which im sure most people don't enjoy taking tests or finals. Another final that I have to study for is my ASL final. It is a 25 multiple choice questions about the  culture of sign language and then he will sign sentences to us and we have to know what he is signing. I am not so nervous about that because we have been doing that all semester but I just want to get a good grade on it so I can keep and A. I am really glad that I don't have a final in my English class because that is one less test I have to study for and one less thing I have to worry about. The last final that I take is my Math final which I think is going to be really easy for me because I have got a A on every test. I have to make an B or higher to pass the class, which I will be okay with. I know that I will do good on my final for that class because the whole semester I have got A's on my tests and also I know what I am doing, it is very easy for me. I think that my finals this semester are going to be a lot easier than the ones I might have next semester because I have harder classes.

If I Could Go Anywhere....

A place I would rather be than here in my English class would be Mexico. I love Mexico. My family goes every year in the summer and it is one of my favorite vacations spots. I would love to go back to the resort we went to last year but I can't remember the name of it. Anytime we go to Mexico we always go to an all exclusive resort. The one that I went to last year was more for adults than kids which I enjoyed. Also the beaches were more private than that others I have been too. The sand on the beach was all white , the ocean was like a clear blue color, and there were huge rocks you could climb up onto when the waves werent really big. When I climbed up on the rocks it was really nice because you could feel the breeze from the ocean water and you could feel a mist from the water splashing up agaist the rocks. Another one of my favorite things about this resort is there was a huge spa you could go to. They had a massage area where you could actually go outside on a rock that is out over the ocean to watch and you could relax. There were little pools you could go into that had different types of jets so you could massage your back or feet when you are in the water. Another thing that was at the spa was a building you walk through that had all kinds of different rooms that did certain things. One of the rooms I went in was you stood under a warm shower and a scent of oranges would come out of the misters above my head. They used aroma therapy to help you relax. Further down in the building is a sauna where you can sit inside and warm your body up. When you where done with the sauna there would be a bucket of ice cubs to rub all over your body to help cool you off. I would love to be laying on the beach right now just listening to the waves crash up on the shore. I would love to feel the mist from the ocean as I am laying out to help cool me off. It is a very peaceful place for me to be.

If I was there right now I would be laying down on my lawn chair tanning. I would see all the people around me in their different kinds of bathing suits. I would see all the people that work there that are setting up things for activities. I would see the ocean splashing up on the huge rocks. I would see the crabs crawling around in the sand. I would see the see weed that is being washed up on the shore. I would see my family all laying our and enjoying the hot warm sun. I would see other families taking pictures to make memories.

If I was there right now I would hear the ocean splashing and roaring up on shore. I would hear people laughing. I would hear people playing volleyball in sand pit a ways from me. I would hear the music playing on my phone. I would hear the ladies that walk by on the beach asking if anyone needs drinks. I would hear kids playing in the ocean. I would hear kids playing in the sand trying to make sand castles.

If I was there right now I would feel the sand across my feet. The sand is soft and cool. But when my feet are wet the sands sticks to my feet. I could feel the hot, sticky, humid air all around me. In Mexico it is so humid everywhere you go. I would feel the cool salty water on my skin when I would be in the ocean. I could feel the little crabs pinching at my feet when I step on them. I could feel my skin getting warmer and warmer when I am laying out in the sun. I could feel the thickness of the sun screen or the tanning lotion.

Darth Vatar Theme Sounds

I would rather have Darth Vatar's Theme song appear anytime I walked into a room than to look like Yasir Arafat in a mirror. I would rather have that song play because at least every one knows that song and knows where it came from. If I looked into the mirror and saw Yasir Arafat everytime I looked into the mirror I think that I would freak out and I would never want to look into a mirror again. He is not attractive at all. If I soudned the Darth Vatar song people would be more entertained by that then looking like him. I like the star wars movies and so do a lot of other people out there. Yes, Darth Vatar is a bad guy, but that doesnt' mean that I would be too. It would be fun too on Halloween because if you dressed up as him you could just go places and it would match your costume. I think that it would more fun as a kid to have this ability than an older adult because after a while it would get really annoying every where you went.

Would You Rather?

If I had a choice between crawling eyebrows on my face or leave a trail of papreka every where I go I would go with the second choice. I would rather leave papreka every where I went because papreka smells good and is pleasant. People would much rather enjoy something that smells good than someone who freaks them out by having crawling eyebrows. I would hate to have crawling eye brows because people would make fun of you all the time, plus they could go anywhere on your face which would just be embarrasing to have eyebrows on your cheeks or chin or something. Papreka would be much more enjoyable. I like papreka because it reminds me of my mom. Any time you walk in the front door you always get a huge wiff of papreka. She has it in the living room, the kitchen, and her bed room. I love being at my moms house because it always smells so good. At my dads we always light candles and insense. My mom also uses a lot of candles too but she has papreka everywhere. My favorite kind is the fall/ orange smell. My mom has it in her room right now and it has a mixture of a warm smell and a fruity orange smell with it. Yes i do agree that both of these choices would be weird but I would rather smell good than look funny from eyebrows crawling on my face. If I had eyebrows like that it would freak myself out let alone others. Papreka also reminds me of Silver Dollar City because anytime I am there I always go into the candle stores and they alwyas have papreka in there. It always smells so good and peaceful. It's fun to go into the stores and smell all the candles and fight over which one I am actually going to buy.

My Family

I have a pretty big family and I love it. My parents got divorced when I was 3 and my sister was 1. So since I was a little kid I have always had 2 homes. I lived with my mom until I was a little over 16. I had always wanted to live with my dad because I am a big daddy's girl, so  I finally made that decision. My sister Hannah is 16 and I have a half sister who is 9 and her name is Ashley. When my dad and step mom where married I had a step brother who is 20 and his name is Brandon. My dad and step mom where married for 13 years and just recently got a divorce. It is kinda sad but I think it was for the better because they started fighting all the time about stuff. My moms side of the family is really big. I can remember when we were little and had our reunions we would have about 75 people there. My mom has 2 sisters and my grandma has 10 siblings. I couldnt even count how many cousins I have. My dads side of the family isnt as big as my moms. He has one half brother.

Final Blog Post

This is my final blog post. I think that I have come a ways with writing and typing because everyday in class we start by warming up on our blogs. It helps to get my mind going and helps me get whats out of mind. I had never even used a blog before until this class. It was different for me but at the same time I enjoyed it. It helped me to become a better writer. I liked writing blogs but because I wasn't used to using a blog and first I hated it. I didn't like using it because I like to talk about my feelings and thoughts not type them or write them out. Now I actually enjoy writing blogs because I feel like I am telling stories about certain events in my life and its nice. Sometimes I feel like I am writing to an audience which in a way I am because the class can see it and because you (Mrs.A) reads these posts. Hopefully I can continue to use my blog and make it a daily habit so I can record certain events in my life and things that I enjoy doing or just thinks that I like. I think that I became a better writer because I got used to writing every morning that it got my brain going and I could think better about what I wanted to write about. Also it helped me free write better because I do use the back space a lot and you were right about the back space when you use it you tend to loose your train of thought because you are going to back to correct your mistakes. It helped me to just let my mind flow and then when I was done I could go back and correct what was wrong. I do see a change in my writing and I believe that it is a very good thing and will help me later on in college, especially with college essays. At first it was hard for me to open up and just talk about a topic and now because I am used to it, it is a lot easier for me to do. I am very glad we did this project because it did help me.

My Future Plans

I have a lot of plans that I would like to accomplish in my life. I am wanting to become an Anesthesiologist which is going to take a lot of school. I already have my CNA license which takes 2 years to get so I got a head start. I am working on getting my Associate of Arts Degree before I transfer to UMKC so that I have an actual degree when I do transfer and not just per-requisites. The degree that I am wanting is a Doctorate which is going to take about 8-10 years at the least. Yes that is a lot of school but I am willing to work very hard to get all the way through school. My cousin just graduated from UMKC with a medicine degree. He didn't do so good in high school but worked very hard in college and it has payed off. He is a big influence on me when it comes to wanting to go to medical school. After I get my Associates of Arts Degree I am going to transfer to UMKC to do their pre-med program. I know that I want to go into the medical field because I enjoy helping people out and taking care of people. I like being able to help someone out when they need help and can't do it themselves. It's nice when you know you made someones day by just helping them or taking care of them. I want to be an Anesthesiologist because I would like to study medicine and I like surgery. I know its a big responsibility to put someones life in your hands but I think that I would be a very good doctor.
