Thanksgiving Argument

My parents own a linen delivery business, and sometimes restaurant need a special delivery when they run out of something (napkins, aprons, etc.). On Wednesday night, I made a trip out to the Westfield Charlestons to help out my dad because they needed napkins around 9 PM. I didn't mind doing this because he had been drinking and I hadn't, it's a family business so I have to help. Come Friday night I have plans with a girl. While I am sitting at my house with my family waiting for her to let me know she is ready to pick her up, my dad gets a call that Charleston's is yet AGAIN out of napkins and needs a special delivery. He tells me it is my job and I have to do it. I argue that I have had plans with this girl all week, and never get to see her since I am always at BSU.  He tells me it is a family business so that should come first, so I claim that my sister should do it, seeing how she isn't doing anything but sitting on her ass watching TV. My sister argues, but in turn my dad realizes I make a valid point, and she ends up doing it. The ethos is that I was very angry when my dad put the responsibility on me when i had plans, and my sister didn't. The pathos is that I already made a delivery that week and my sister didn't. The logos is that I had done my fair share of help. I had plans and my sister wasn't doing anything, so it made more sense for her to take care of the job.

Home Sweet Home

So today is the day that I had to return myself and my mind state to reality! I had a great break, but I was definitely ready to get back to Muncie and knock out these last few weeks of the semester. Interesting because I originally came back here this afternoon around 1 oclock witha  ride from my mom. Around 4 I realized that I forgot my meal card. Not wanting to waste ten dollars I was lucky enough for my buddy Kyle to scoop it up from my house in Indy since he hadn't left for Muncie yet. So now I am back at home (BSU), eating ramen and watching the Chargers eat Peyton alive. Everybody Believe in Blue we got this!!!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving break has been wonderful thus far. No stress, food, family, friends, and of course analyzing the arguments. For Turkey Day my whole family piled into my sister's house in Noblesville. She's married and her husbands whole family was there too, so you can only imagine what happens when two crazy families get together. I spent most of the day stuck to the sofa watching the football games, smelling the food, and wondering when it was time to eat. By 4 oclock I was greeted with cajun turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy (the best ever), noodles, sweet potatoes, the list could go on and on. After filling up I spent the rest of the night with my brother in laws , sisters, and cousins. Stayed up until the next morning. Overall it was a great Thanksgiving. Hope everyone is having a good break!!

Looking Forward to Break

So although we didn't even have english class this week, it has still been a rather long and exhausting week. I am making sure to give these last few weeks of the semester my all so my grades will reflect hard work! I only have a couple of classes tomorrow then I plan on doing more revision to my papers and website. I am going to take it easy all weekend and make sure all my work is caught up before I go back home to Indy for the week. My professors don't like the idea of a Fruesday, so luckily for me they canceled the classes for the day! So I'm getting out of here a day early. Everybody have their self a good Friday!

Back In the Day Music

Lately I have been listening to a lot of music that I have not listened to in a long time. I grabbed my I pod from 6th grade, dusted it off, and charged it so see what kind of music I was listening to back then. To my surprise there was A LOT of good music that I totally forgot about! Chevelle, Creed, Say Anything, Hanson (ha ha), and a lot more. The one band that stuck out most to me was Alien Ant Farm. Their album "ANThology" has been on repeat since I re-discovered it ha ha. Please tell me one person in the class used to/still does listen to Alien Ant Farm?! Good music!!

Conference

Today was the day that I chose to have my conference with Mr. McArdle. It went well and I walked out understanding what I need to do to maintain an acceptable grade. He explained a better way to come at my audience in my peer revision paper. I am confident that once I revise it, it will be exactly what he is looking for. He also let me know that I was behind on blogging, and that I can catch up by doing more this week which was great to find out! So I will definitely be updating this bad boy more than twice this week ha ha. Everybody have a good Wednesday.

WEIRD DREAM

So lately I have been having some pretty vivid dreams, but the one I had last night was pretty bizarre. So I was across the street at a buddies house. We were doing the usual weekend ritual when something out of the ordinary occurred. My friends mom came downstairs , so we hid the beer, and she made us turn on the weather channel. The radar displayed a high chance of storms and tornadoes. My mother then called me and told me to get back to my house immediately. On the walk home I saw a funnel cloud form from the sky in front of me. Normally, I would poop my pants, but in this dream a voice came to me. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, until I realized that the voice was coming from the friendly face that this tornado was showing. He asked if he could come hangout, so we went back to my friends house and played NBA 2K11 all night long. I don't how this tornado unlethally fit in the house, but it all made sense in the dream. I woke up after that. Crazy stuff.

Class

Last week in class was strictly revision business. On Tuesday we went and sat in the eating area (if that's what you want to call it) and did our group revisions. Mr. McArdle walked around for us to ask questions and for any other concerns. On Thursday we did the normal circling up of the class so we could do our Intensive Reviews. We went over the dont ask dont tell policy, piracy problems, and more. We have more to revise this upcoming class Tuesday.
