It was really fun though. I hope everyone else had a good year, too. Sybil, thanks a bunch. You are an awesome teacher. Good luck in the future. To the rest of the class, it was pretty fun getting to discuss all that stuff with ya. I'm never gonna forget the legalization of marijuana topic. That was a fun day.

This semester has gone by soooo fast it doesn't seem like the end of the year should be here already. I am not going to complain, though. I guess I must have had a lot of fun this year being that they always say time flies when you're having fun!! Well, that's about all I have to say except have a great summer everyone!

I met alot of new people, and I hope to keep in touch with all of them. At first when I started here, it was quite a big change moving from the farm to fargo. It made it alot easier meeting alot of new people, and probably friends that will last a life time.

Yuck! But things will be great when they are all over. The time has gone by so fast...I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday I was moving into the dorm. Well, it has all been fun.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here but I have met many new people and made many new friends. I never realized how many new friends until we went out to eat wednesday night and their were seventeen people. I am a little bit anxious about finals but I am sure if I study that I will do just fine. I guess I could say that English was an entertaining and Thatcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08902871061815821526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-940330012003-05-08T23:28:00.000-05:002003-05-08T23:28:22.873-05:00So yeah, I had a Calc II test tonight at 7:30...everyone shows up but our professor with the tests! after about 45 minutes of waiting the TA's told us that the test was cancelled! How awesome is that! I was pretty pumped so I thought I'd just write that on here and complain a bit about taking our lofts apart tonight too...wow did that blow having to rearrange everything!

It was a friend's idea that we should all go out to eat at Granite City, because this is our last weak together before finals and the summer. I thought it was a great idea, and really good food. We got a few pictures together when we were all done eating to remember the great year we had together..Dustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16235872059541527946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-939755422003-05-08T01:19:00.000-05:002003-05-08T01:19:35.500-05:00It's pretty late and I'm up watching my roommate make a model for architecture. Luckily I don't have to get up in the morning for English because I already finished my Paper and Portfolio.

Now I am humoring myself by watching a guy out my dorm window, and he is really horrible. He is a funny guy because he looks drunk, and he checks the ball back to himself off the hoop after making a basket.Dustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16235872059541527946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-939518162003-05-07T16:57:00.000-05:002003-05-07T16:57:54.920-05:00I just finished the last paper that I will ever write for an english class again. Not bad. This class has been fun. Sybil you have the right attitude for a teacher. If you don't want come to teach on a particular day you shouldn't have to. I like that. I missed your class yesterday because some work had to be done at home. That was the first full day I have worked since probably August.

It wasn't like normal though where a person might sit down for an hour, but I sat and played for over five hours. I find it weird some times why people have a lot of work to do, but yet still find ways to mess around and not get anything done.Dustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16235872059541527946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-938975512003-05-06T20:14:00.000-05:002003-05-06T20:14:56.333-05:00It is that time of the year again where it is time to start wrapping up classes. What a great feeling!!!!! I took a final in an engineering class today and it sucked really bad. I think I still pulled out an "A" though, which is nice.

My Paper #5 is all finished up as well so I've basically just got to wrap a few last things up in this class and then BAM, one class out of the way!

Wait a minute....it was my favorite class. I hope that I will find another one to look forward to as much as I did English w/Sybil. I doubt any other instructor will be as cool but I guess I will just have to deal with it. Thanks to everyone in the 9:30 class, you made class enjoyable.

I am glad to be done with another class it just makes everything easier and less stressful. I am not looking forward to finals because I think that I have a few that are going to be a little tough.

I have a huge paper due on Thursday that I of course have not started yet, you'd think in my second year of college I would have learned better. Oh well, what are you going to do right? I have enjoyed this class so very much. It was taught in such a laid Rozzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02209509596142480142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-938643632003-05-06T09:39:00.000-05:002003-05-06T09:39:44.026-05:00Well here I am in English class trying to come up with a start on paper #5. I am kinda blanking out even though I know that this paper shouldn't be that hard to write. I got my portfolio done last night so that is a little bit of a relief.

And now its done, and I have to say that its a relief to be done with one class completely already, but I wish other classed would have ended first, because this class is at least more enjoyable than the others.

We ended up hosting regionals and we play a pretty tough schedual so if you all get bored on thursday, friday and saturday there is a regional softball tourney goin on his weekend over by the track and the baseball fields.

Anyways, my porfolio is all done, and I'm almost done with paper #5. I have so many good things to write about in it, too. Hope everyone's last week goes well.

I am not sure how I am going to do either one. Class has been pretty good this semester.

I just have to finish paper #5. It seems that time has flown by, just another year closer to being done. Or worse yet another year older. I didn't realize that I was so old until I came back to school. You know you're old when instructors are younger than you. Oh well, everyone has been great.

I can't believe that this year is almost over. I am so ready for summer. These next two weeks are going to be crazy, but after that I can relax a little. I really need to start my job since I am completely broke.

I have learned so much over this past year. Lots of ups and downs, lots of work, and really no motivation. I tried so hard when I first began, and I didn't do so well, I think that is why I didn't like it as much as I could have. Welp, lookin forward to next year, hope it goes better than this.

Anyways it's time i get off my butt and get those done. I just wanted to say about Shauna's cow is that I think it's kind of funny that you said you saved it from coyotes, but then you named it after a coyote. I don't know maybe it's just me that thinks that's kind of jaclynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03719321284531306123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-937844772003-05-05T00:41:00.000-05:002003-05-05T00:41:13.506-05:00well i cant wait to get home. And it is for a weird reason. I cant wait to get home to see my cows. we have one little white cow and it just makes my heart tremble. I love that little cow. We saved her from the coyotes when i went home for my grandpa's funeral. I kinda of called it my own. I named it Wiley from the cartoon Wiley coyote and the road runner. IT is kinda stupid but i like Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133627603990317978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-937842502003-05-05T00:35:00.000-05:002003-05-05T00:35:50.910-05:00So how did everyones year go? A little different than high school for me. It was a big change but it was a change that i was ready for. I couldnt wait to get out one my own. I was so excited for that but i guess i missed what i left back at home.

I have to admit, I'm having a little bit of trouble. Am I alone in thinking that this paper is the most difficult we've had to write? Maybe I'm just crazy. Or maybe I'm just too damn old of a dog to get taught new tricks.Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343076376504474549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-937676202003-05-04T18:40:00.000-05:002003-05-04T18:40:03.726-05:00Why can't more teachers be like sybil? So you study the entire week before finals for a big test, then you have to study again for the actual final. Its not like we don't have enough to study for the final, but two test within 3 or so days is ridiculus.

I can't make sense of feeling like I just want this semester to be over since I am going to summer school but I am ready to end this semester. Today's class was a bonus, I don't think anyone was too motivated to do anything.

I hate when teachers start a movie in class and only show 45 minutes, cause you get into it,and then they take it away...and it's not like i would go rent a movie that i have already seen half of it, that would be like wasteing half of my money, it's like order a 6 piece chicken Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12713804931932757527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-935783842003-05-01T00:20:00.000-05:002003-05-01T00:20:43.463-05:00Last Thursday we watched the movie on the Real World. I think I can honestly say that I have never seen the show. So when we watch the reunion on the show i felt like i really didn't know much about what the show was really like.

Time to BLOG a lil' and then finish up the english assignment stuff that's due for tomorrow! I'm really glad that we've gotten the major stuff for this class out of the way.

I dont get what the point was. Yeah it had some funny comments but i didnt really find anything in it. I mean other then what you shouldnt be doing in life. I think that the guy that was chwating on his wife and the lady was not allowing her kid to see was a bunch of crap. People who cheat are not soulful people what so ever and they should nt do it.

So much to comment on... First off: I apologize for not using some of the movies you all mentioned. The reason I didn't get those movies was I though maybe if you saw something (like today's movie) that you hadn't seen before, you'd have a first-time gut response to it.

I think that it would have been better however if it had been more recent so then you d be able to actually somewhat recognize a face. Puck was an interesting jackass. I pretty much agree with what everyone else is saying about him.

I think it's called something like "Unmasked." I think it's just like the Batchlorette, where the woman chooses one man out of many, but this time all the men are wearing masks, so she wont know what they look like till she actually makes her final decision.

When you don't want to see a cop, that is the first thing you see, as they are pulling you over for something. I am pretty sure I am the only one who would run to the cops, but oh well. anywho good luck to all in everything and bye.

Some of them were quite unique. In the real world I thought that puck was very anoying and immature. I would have like the movie better if it was more recent. I would have reconized some of the people then and i'd been more interested.Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11267155222553073251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-933174692003-04-26T18:56:00.000-05:002003-04-26T18:56:59.440-05:00HI i agree with beth! Puck was rude and should not have said some of the things that he did. Other then that i thought the viedo was pretty cool. it was interesting to see how they al grew up and maturedShaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133627603990317978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-932670042003-04-25T17:56:00.000-05:002003-04-25T17:58:46.000-05:00The Real World? Man if that show is the real world where do most of us live? I did like one thing that I heard from one of the former cast members; she said that "they shouldn't be idolized by the public, they are just ordinary people." But on the other hand I was impressed that some of them used their fame to help accomplish humanitarian aid. A few of them launched careers with it.

I am so glad it is here. As for the Real World movie I thought it was pretty good. Although I don't care for Puck too much. He seems really rude and obnoxious. He acts like a little kid. Yet, I don't have anything against people who are indiviuals but I just don't think they have to be rude to be one. Also, I am interested in what we are going to be watching next week.

Puck was actually up in grand forks a couple of weeks ago speaking. I think that he just craves attention and will do anything to get it. He tries to be so bad ass but he is really not. I can't wait to see what we are watching next.Tomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17737215631544570862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-932145272003-04-24T21:13:00.000-05:002003-04-24T21:13:45.506-05:00Um....well I really havent blogged in a really long time so.....I thought the movies today were pretty good. I dont really like puck much, but it's not because he's such a nonconformist or something, it's just because he's 100% blatantly rude. That's just not right. I guess my only suggestion would be for the movies to be from the newer years, cause I probably would have thought that it was a Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868135480145704060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-932083632003-04-24T19:03:00.000-05:002003-04-24T19:03:19.776-05:00I thought the Real World tape was pretty good.........until Puck came on, that is. I don't know what it is about him, but he really bugs me. Maybe it is his loud, obnoxious, rude comments! Anyway......I thought the video was pretty good for the most part.......probably because I have watched the Real World for a long time. Wow, I can't believe it is already time for another weekend!!

Hehe. I always enjoyed Puck (he's the only cast member that I remember from back in the day... my mom of all people watched the Real World back then). I just like the fact that he's supposed to be so non-conformist and what have youDylanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506333478655247400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-932026192003-04-24T17:03:00.000-05:002003-04-24T17:03:25.060-05:00yeah, not a fan of that real world crap we watched today in class. possibly because i can't stand that show or any of the reality shows on tv. I could give a crap less what people i don't know, and don't care about are doing with other people i could care less about.

I love it, only like 3 weeks of school left! yaayyy :) Kind of interesting watching the Real World thing today.. I don't know if I could be friends with someone like Puck, he can be really funny, but I don't think I would want to get into a fight with him. Well, I am going to go work on signing up for my classes, which is not going Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10617690578356823332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-931782212003-04-24T09:19:00.000-05:002003-04-24T09:19:15.186-05:00Kudos to Sybil for not having class on Tuesday. Things are all ready starting to get crazy heading towards finals week. Well, I'm not sure if I said this already but I think the group project went really well. It was pretty fun.

How not fun that means that my week is going to consist of nothing more then homework. Which is really something i dont want to do. Oh well i guess i have to eventually do it.

I present on thursday for it because i went home because my grandfather past away. But so far i have everything completed and just need to revise my essay! My partner cant write because he got surgery like a week ago and it is on his right hand, which is his writing hand, so i had to do it all. It was a long process because i had to type itShaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133627603990317978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-930544882003-04-22T11:33:00.000-05:002003-04-22T11:33:38.576-05:00Hey everybody! Hope Easter vacation went well for everyone --- It did for me, except now I seem to be coming down with a pretty nasty cold from not getting any sleep I think! For anyone who watches the NBA, WOW saturday was quite the day...how about that Phoenix and San Antonio game! I'm glad that the Utopia projects are done with now too.

Can I wait that long? Absolultely not, but I am going to have too. Anyway, it was so nice to veg this past weekend. Eat and sleep and torment family members. Thats really all there was to do because it rained the whole weekend. I had one idea that would probably be a controversial movie that we could see some parts of.

I'm glad that the Utopia project is done, now all we have left is the portfolio. I can't wait for school to be over with. I think that the movie thing is going to be interesting. I don't really have any good ideas for movies, but I'm sure that sybil came up with something. Well, see you all in class on thursday.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18206321518493820787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-930314122003-04-22T01:29:00.000-05:002003-04-22T01:29:12.760-05:00I'm going to comment on the Utopia project and give my ideas for controversial movies that Sybil asked us for. First the movies. I think any Kevin Smith movie would be great. You've got "Clerks" filmed in black-and-white and rife with sexual inuendos. Then there's "Mallrats" which includes a character saying he wishes a small child gets caught in the escalator, and is also rife with sexual Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343076376504474549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945106.post-930064392003-04-21T16:59:00.000-05:002003-04-21T16:59:42.186-05:00WELL WELL WELL BACK TO FARGO TOMORROW.
