overall

after almost an entire semester in En001 i feel i have completed most of the goals i set for my self in that first essay. my grammar has improved greatly as well as my writting overall. most helpful to me were  the class periods we spent going over and correcting our own papers. these are the classes i gained the most from  and helped my writting the most. the classes i felt were least effective were those in which we spent hours going over grammar from evergreen. my attention span is like goldfish and i would often zone out during these classes. to the incomming en001 winter i class i urge them to be prepared for a heavy workload.

for my portfolio i'll be using the midterm essay and essay #4 i feel as though these two are the most well structured and gramaticaly correct of all the essays I've completed. Also the topics of these essay somewhat intertwine, so finding proof and details from omnivores delima will be easy (atempting to kill two large birds with one small stone)

death to hipsters

I've realized over time that i judge most people by their musical taste. and normally im spot on. if you listen to bad music your normally an idiot or some body ill just generally dislike.  example #1 i walk in to this party sunday night in  mount pleasent aka hipster central. and the first thing to greet me as i walk in the door was some euro trash DJ club music. i knew from that moment i would hate everybody at this party.  and i was right. wall to wall hipsters, drinking PBR better known as hipster lager and discussing their fix gear bikes. kill me now. better yet just kill all them so i can change the music. they say never judge a book by its its cover but  its perfectly fine to judge a an ipod by whats obnoxiously blasting through the head phones. death to all hipsters.

changes

 I think I have made quite a few significant changes in my writing. for starters my writing has become  more organized. I structure my support and quotes; stronger and more logically. I can also identify and correct grammar mistakes easily now. I also use a lot more detail in my writing. in these next 5 weeks i wanna focus in on strengthening my thesis statements and my topic sentences. Also I want to work on making stronger outlines, so that I can make my entire essay stronger.

I begin my writting process by first reviewing  the source material for my essay and making sure Iunderstand and grasp the concepts. next i do a very basic outline of ideas and proof of those ideas. Once my outline is complete I use that as a loose guide to write my essay reffering back to my source material to use direct qoutes  and other facts  that might stregthen my paper. After this I have a complete first draft.  The next morning with my mind fresh before class i go back and proof read and fix any mistakes or add any genius ideas that just sprang to mind. After class with fresh ideas and new knowledge I begin rewritting my paper. perfecting my essay but still keeping intact my original ideas. finnaly the morning before class i proofread my polished essay again; turn it in. and pray that i dont get any "U's"  on the grading scale.

big brother got our back

The most impactful part of food inc to me wasnt one fact or anything one thing partictular I saw. It was the idea that the food industry is more protected than the consumer, the factory worker, or the farmer. it seems to me like the government was bought out by the food ...all the high ranking political figures had ties directly back to these mega corporations.  Isnt it the governments job to protect us from companies and people like this. Isnt this why rob me every paycheck for taxes???

How to spend all day doing nothing productive

to spend all day doing nothing we will first need.
1. a couch
2. a television
3. comfortable sweat pants and or pajama pants
4. a fridge full of unhealthy snack food
5. a computer

We begin a long day of doing nothing by waking up taking a shower and dressing in the same comfortable style clothes we went to sleep in....(unless your sleeping in the nude... then please put some clothes one). Then plant yourself on the couch in front of the TV for the next two hours with a bowl of cereal. I personally prefer the giant bowls used for cooking, that way i can eat cereal continuously for hours. after this I would  suggest taking a short nap... watching TV can be so exhausting. Soon after waking up re-plant your self on the couch but with a computer in your lap this time. one can spend their time on the computer staring at facebook or twitter for the next three hours or maybe  waste time watching endless amounts of pirated movies or television shows. Afterwards its time to eat again, I like to have a balanced meal of chips, sodas, and other snack foods. mmmmmm that's healthy! Now is the time to get creative you can spend the rest of your day doing anything that takes little to no energy. maybe talking  on the phone for hours, or maybe just  napping the rest of the day away. Me, I like to play PlayStation until my hands develop carpal tunnel syndrome. its all about what your personal style of laziness is like folks! and this is how you spend all day doing nothing productive.
