FALL BREAK!!

It feels so good to be home! Fall break needs to be just a little bit longer though because i need a break from school. After last week though i feel fine. Mid-terms are over and i don't feel so stressed anymore, everything is done. At least for a week or so because then i have a couple more papers due. Its like all professors think we are just taking their class and they expect us to spend all of our time on things for their class. I mean we do take other classes besides theirs. I mean i don't procrastinate and i still don't have enough time to do everything they expect us to do.

Letter to the Editor!

My topic for the letter to the editor is going to be about how parking enforcements should not be so strict. My roommate parked in the parking garage during the week for like 4 hours (which yeah your not allowed to do) and got 4 tickets. You would think that one would be enough or maybe even a warning at first. Four tickets for one incident is not necessary.

BRAINSTORMING

After doing some thinking i decided my significant object is the American flag. Until awhile go i don't think this is what i would have picked. Recently my dad was sent to Iraq this year with the army. I respect my dad so much for doing what he is doing. Men and women like him are the reason we have our flag that stands for the freedom that they fight for. It means and stands for so many things but is just small and simple. I now notice just how many places display our American Flag with pride -Fire station, schools, government offices, banks, businesses, and so many residents. Some people don't appreciate the flag like they should and unfortunate. Hopefully there will be a day again when people honor the flag like they used to.
