This Past Quarter

Dear reader,

When i first came into this class, and was told that i was going to have to write a blog, to be perfectly honest i was much less that excited. I was not even really to thrilled about all the writing that i was told was going to be a big part of this class. I have never really enjoyed writing, especially about topics that i do not really get to choose on my own. As the quarter and class got going, in the beginning, my opinion in this did not really change i still felt the same way about writing. However as the quarter continued i got into my writing and i was really working hard to make my writing better, not just because i had to for my grade but also because i really did want to become a better writer. Before taking this course it is good to know that it is not just an easy A, it is going to take some work but it is also a very good tool to help you in the long run. This class with really help you turn into a better writer. If i could take this class over again i would not do much different but i would do one thing specifically. I would try to get into this class and my writing a little bit sooner in the quarter, i think if i had done that i would have no only gotten a better grade in the but i feel like i also would have become a better writer. At the begging of the quarter when we were writing our first paper i put it off to the last second, not thinking that it would be that hard, by doing this i did not only hurt my grade but i also hurt myself in further steps in the assignment. By the finally copy of this paper i was finally understanding of what i needed and was expected to do so i buckled down a really got into what i was writing, this got my a better grade and i feel made me a better writer. This class can make you a better writer if you let it and actually work at it and put time and effort in it.

Preachers in Oval

Walking back home from class the other day, through the oval, Evangelists were yelling like they do every time they are on campus. However this time was different i was walkin home with my friend and the preacher kept yelling at everyone and telling, every single person that walked by him. that they were going to hell. My friend from some reason that i do not know decided that he was sick of these guys yelling at him and telling him that he is going to go to hell for no reason. When we get to this guy my friend walks up to him and starts askin the guy why he is going to hell, and saying "you do not know anything about me". The preacher just looked at him and said "i know what all you kids do you are all the same and you are going to hell". When he said that i was in shock, because this guy really did not have any idea who my friend was. He just decided that he was going to hell and nothing could change his mind. Previous to this encounter i thought that these guys, while yes a little weird, that they were just doing what they believed in and that they were just preaching that to a whole and not singleing anyone out. I thought that is someone came to talk to them that they would at least hear the person out and atleast listen to tell and not just tell him you are the same as everyone else and that our going to hell. My friend is one of the most religous and kind people i know and for that guy to just tell that to my friend to his face personaly with out even hearing him out i thouht was way out of line. That is definatly not eventhe way for him to get people to join or believe in his cause but just telling everyone to go to hell expically someone who came to talk to you about it. I lost what ever respect i had for those guys that day. I do not agree with those guys at all if you are not a big enough person to atleast hear someones side about something, then you are not preaching the right thing anyway and noone should join your cause.
