Back to the Basics

Hey everyone!

So, I could not afford the official website that I used to have, therefore, I am returning to this blog!
I'm not sure if anyone reads this or will read this, but I will start to post as much as I can.

Update:

I am currently a sophomore at Monmouth College and it is now mid-finals week. While I should be writing papers and studying for my Environmental Science final... I am here. This semester I met and introduced author and philosopher Christopher Phillips in September and got to go to a bunch of his events around campus the day that he visited. In classes, I wrote a research paper on the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne about biblical allusions and how the characters are symbols of different characters and symbols in the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. I got the research paper back today and received an A- on it.

I also recently finished a very interesting research paper on the causes of school shootings in America and the influence of news media on the increase of school shootings. I also talked about how we cannot solve the problem because people will not admit that school shootings are more complex than violent video games, Marilyn Manson, Gun laws, and mental illnesses alone. All in all, it was a long and interesting paper and I think I did a fairly good job on it.

Now, I am sitting here during finals week. I took my American Survey I final at 3pm today, turned in the take home final for Theories of Exceptional Learners at 11:30am, and still need to write answers for a teaching scenario exam, I also need to revise a bunch of my writing for a Creative Writing portfolio due by the end of the day Friday. Most of all, I need to study for this Environmental Science exam, a class which I barely paid attention to the entire semester....

In a few days I will be back working at Meijer deli and gaining the funds to pay for next semester at college. Hopefully I will also be hired at Barnes and Noble so that I can earn even more money for school and some for leisure.

Welcome to day 492 of my adulthood, aka it has been 492 days since the first day I moved to Monmouth College and began my freshman year at college.

P.S. My love life is excellent as well, January 15th, 2015 marks a year!
