summer
summer is three days away for me and it sometimes feels like it is fall outside. So far I have planned three trips but I do not know how well they will go since I am low on money. Last year my family didn't take a vacation but this year both sides of my family planned one and they both some how fell on the same week so now someone has to cancel and make a new date. Of course this cant be simple and there has to be a family feud over it. I just know that I am for sure going to Cancun mexico for a week. I have never been there before, the last place I went was Jamaica about six year ago with my moms side. That was a lot of fun but i didn't know how hot and humid it was going to be. Now i know why people there don't wear a lot of clothes. Every time I took a shower I would dry off then wait like five minutes and dry off again because of the sweat. We had a lot of lizards in our room that would crawl on the ceiling. My mom is deathly scared of snakes so every time she would see one she would think it was a snake and have a mild heart attack. I hear in mexico there are a lot of lizards but its not as humid a Jamaica.

Papers
It seems like most classes don't make you write one paper till the end of the year. Every time its about three weeks before finals and all five of my classes have one due the same week. I procrastinate so this is not easy for me. I have had a lot of papers that are almost the same thing. When i went to Carbondale, I wrote almost two papers a week and since I was taking my general classes the teachers had the same papers. I don't know if it is plagiarism if I use part of one paper for a paper in another class. I don't think it should be plagiarism because plagiarism is taking the words from another writer, but i would be taking words from myself so i don't think it would be but i don't want to risk it. I would say that it would be frowned on because they want u to try but if i already thought of it and took the time the first time then it should count. This could be avoided if professors had some kind of database that showed what other teachers were assigning but I am sure most students like how it is.

Gass Prices
My truck gets twelve miles to the gallon, and gass prices are almost three dollars. how am I going to afford that if i have to fill up a 33 gallon tank wich around three dollars would be almost 100 dollars. People cant afford this mainly around where I live because most people have to drive farm truck or big trucks or vehicles for work. I want to sell my truck and get a car so I can at least afford to drive this summer but i have to much money put into it and its a gas sucker so who would give what i want for it? I need to get a motorcycle but i cant save up because im puting all my money saved up into my gass tank.
when gas prices go up everyone seems to get crabbie and crab about driving, I know im one of those people, and I wish there was something I could do about it but there is absolutly nuthing with ticks me off. When i went to Carbondale last semester it would almost cost me 60$ to go home and back. Next semester im going to Semo and if gass prices stay like they are it will be around 100$, THIS IS NOT GOOD!

Blog report III
I wander how many people read my blog? there are people that use twitter every day just to show everyone else what they are doing and are up to. Others use Face Book statuses to make a comment on their day, complain about something or say something funny that happened to them. I have never been into that I enjoy looking at peoples pictures and seeing what old friends have been up to and I do look at statuses because they are very interesting. Blogging is like a big status, I have finally realized, it was usless for me to write about something boring like a paragraph over how my day was or anything else just to get the project done. I would'nt put something anything on my Face Book status unless I was important and I wanted to send a message out. So why put usless stuff in a blog if you know people would'nt be interested in it.
I talked about how spring was here and that i could'nt wait for summer then I talked about how im a server. I don't know how interesting thoser are but they are to me. When i look at other peoples blogs it seems that everyone has a different style of writing and their bloggs are in a way all related. Reading other peoples blogs is very interesting because some people choose to not get into detail and do it just to get by other people choose to write something interesting so that maby people will follow their blog more.

serving
I just started serving a bout two months ago. So far i like it but it seems there are always customers that just want to ruin my day. I worked at Texas Road House two years ago as a buss boy and when I would hear about customers being difficult or mean i would think it was funny and didn't see why waiters would get so worked up about it. Now that I am a server I understand why servers hate people like that.
I work at a small restaurant in a small town that just opened up. Everyone that goes there has high expectations about it and will complain about everything. Since I have become a waiter people complain about the wait the soda being flat and all the above. There are no real problems people just want to complain about something. It's very hard to be nice to people that treat me like dirt. When they crab and glare all i can do is smile and be nice even though i most likely wont see a tip from them.
I believe that waiting tables build character and helps with my people skills which will help me in life. I have noticed i am a better talker in public and more up front to people with problems and i my self am not as scared to bring up a problem to a stranger.

Spring
I’m glad spring is here because that means summers getting close and I get to go fishing and be outside. It does suck though, that spring means I come closer to finals in most of my classes. Since the weather has been like summer weather lately I have been getting caught up playing sports and being outside rather than my school work. This has happened every year during high school because I would be at track every day and then when I got home I would want to do something I enjoyed like fishing or hanging with friends instead of doing my homework.
I am going to have to do something drastic to get all of my grades up but I think with a little pressure of time I will be able to pull through and get everything done and in on time. It will be such a relief to pass every class and be able to enjoy the summer knowing I may be able to transfer to another college and start my major there.

blog report two
These bloggs are hard to keep up with as the year gets closer to an end. All my classes are starting to have midterms and more homework is becoming due. I dont know how to blogg very well but i im still trying as you can tell. It is so hard to write about something i want to write about since i have alway been told to write about or what subject to cover. I guess this is freestyle writing which i have never done.
I wish blogger had spell check because i am not good at spelling and i can tell as I go along that i am spelling words wrong. It gets even worse since i am the one writing whatever i am thinkin so my sentences dont flow as well as they should.
I am glad tho that i get to share some stories about me and hope that some people are reading them. I have read some peoples bloggs and am very impressed how well some people write and how good they are about sharing stories and thoughts in a way that everyone can read them.
I for sure need to keep up with my blogg more. I want to start blogging about subjects people want to read about and that they will comment and put their thoughts into. I think this is a good source of writing that will make my writing stronger, especially in freestyle.
