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.

Life choices College to coal miner?

Since i was little i have always dreamed of going to college. My parents have always pushed me to do good in school so i can go to a good college. When i was a senior i fond out what school i would be going to and had everything already planned out to my college graduation. I started SIUC last fall and then transfered to SWIC because i did not like SIUC and that was ok with me because i dont mind switching because i want to spend four years at a school i like. I was planning on attending SEMO next fall but now have another offer on the table. My step dad works in the coal mine buisness and is always looking for new opportunities so the other day him and my mom came into my room and sat down and said that my stepdad ,Mike, found a good job for the new power plants coal mine in Livly Grove and that if i droped out of college now i could get a good job and make more money than i could going into criminal justice that I am currently in. He said the benifits where good and that it is a dependable job and that he pulled some strings and i could have a interview if i wanted. This was a total shock to me since they have always been so tough on me about college and now they are telling me to drop out and go into the work force at 19 and be in the same job for the rest of my life. I still dont know what I will do but this is one of the most stressfull and important decision of my life.
