Finished Finals

The dreaded week is finally over. Hopefully all of us have made it out of finals week alive and with good grades. I managed to pull off having mostly "A"s and "B"s in my classes. This week has been very stressful for my trying to finish all my work and study at the same time.  Luckily it is all over now. I had a final on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I know that is considered being lucky because I was fortunate enough to only have two finals, however any amount of finals gives a lot of stress with it. Everyone should find there own way to get rid of stress after finals week.

My way to alleviate my stress is I'm going to London in three days now! I'm so excited to go on this trip, I have been waiting all semester. The trip is part of my study abroad class called comparative justice systems. basically the class compares the United States criminal justice system with Great Britain's criminal justice system. I will be in London for about a week full of tours, good food, and breathtaking sites.

Reading published reviews I have read some published reviews about the documentary of Icarus off of IMDB. There were a decent amount of similarities I found in others reviews. A lot of the reviews commented on the dual narrative aspect of the the film. One being Bryan’s story the next and more impacting story being Grigory’s. One review agreed with Grigory’s story carrying more weight as it was actually life threatening for him. There was an immense amount of paranoia and fear that Grigory had to face in his journey. In addition a lot of the reviews mention the documentary as one of the best ones out there as that is why it earned 8 out of 10 stars on IMDB. Some of the differences I have found is that a lot of people disliked the start of the documentary. They didn’t like Bryan Fogol’s quest to figure out if doping would actually improve his performance. Some were saying his story was egotistical and that they didn’t want to see a privileged guy go out and experiment doping to go out a...

Warm Weather

Finally,  the cold weather has passed! Tomorrow is supposed to reach 80 degrees outside. This is the weather I have been waiting so long for. This is the weather I can go out and ride my motorcycle without three layers of clothes on just to stay warm. Wind chill is no longer a factor in the spring and summer because the breeze is nice and warm. In late may it will mark the first year anniversary I got my motorcycle. I wanted to upgrade already after riding my 300cc for about a year. Obviously being a college student and having no money prevents me from doing so. One day I hope to have a Yamaha FZ-07, it is a 700cc bike so quite the upgrade. It is a bike that can last me a lifetime and is super customize-able. There are a lot of aftermarket parts that I can add onto it, to make it unique to me. I hope to own the bike one day however for now it is just a dream. It isn't an unobtainable dream though as the bike cost $7000 retail.

Reflection Post

Dear Past Self, You may think that your writing skills are awful and the scores on your high school AP tests and your ACT seems to reflect that. I know no one has helped you improve your writing or actually taught you something worth while to make you a better writer. You just have to wait for college because you will have some incredible professors and a writing center that will expand your knowledge of writing far beyond you ever thought was capable. You will take college writing 1 and 2 with Mark Letcher. he will teach  you a wide variety of writing styles. You will learn how to efficiently organize your outlines and turn them into valuable drafts ready for revising. You will understand the importance of revision and sharing your work to be critiqued even if you don't like it. These two classes will expand what you thought writing was and it will make writing the never ending amounts of papers seem relatively easy for you. To make a comparison  to what this will be ...
