1. Did you enjoy the experience? Why or why not? If there were parts you enjoyed, what were they?

The experience has been interesting. I actually didn't mind blogging too much, but do not think I will continue blogging after this class. I feel like blogs should have a definite theme - and I have no theme to contribute to the world right now. The papers in the class were really just that to me, papers. I really liked that the topics were so broad, but I also didn't like that aspect. I guess it's kind of hard for me to explain why I thought that. I guess it would have just been easier if the topics were set in stone. All in all, I thought the class was good, though.

2. What do you wish you'd done differently? What do you wish I'd done differently with the assignment (besides not assigning it, or assigning shorter posts)?

Like I said in the previous post, the only thing I would say could be different were the range of topics that could be written for the four papers, but I wouldn't actually do it. I just really had to think hard about what I wanted to write about.... which isn't a BAD thing.

3. Did the blog make a difference that you saw in your writing skills? in the way you looked at the world?

I don't think the blog made me write any different than I have in the past. I think reading other students blogs made me realize that we all kind of have the same life while we are in school. Kind of makes you realize that you aren't alone. It was nice.

4. Do you think you'll keep blogging (or would you keep blogging if you had the time)?

I don't think I will keep blogging. I think I would if I had a definite theme - like a craft blog, or something like that. Actually, that just gave me an idea for a future blog after I graduate... the funny things I see at work (no names, obviously)!

Light at the end of the tunnel

Some of the blogs I read were all thinking the same thing as I am... why teachers feel the need to pile on so much stuff at the end of semester. A big shout out though to the awesome teachers that grade papers, homework assignments, and tests in a timely manner. There is nothing more aggravating than an assignment, especially a tiny one, that isn't graded for months!

Today was a great day. I didn't do like, anything, slept in til 10, ate lunch, and then went to work at 1:30. Went to happy hour with the girls from work, ate dinner at my moms, came home and am now blogging. Lame day, just like I like it. My classes were cancelled today, for one of the first times ever, and the extra sleep I got was amazing!

So, like usual in my personal blog, here is my weekend schedule:

Friday: Class too early in the morning. Work whenever I go in til 5, and then an awesome time to be had at Jeremiah's for a benefit for the humane society! My friends and I are all pretty excited about it! The humane society in Sikeston has been doing some pretty great things here lately!

Saturday: Yard Sale at my mommas! We are doing spring cleaning and all proceeds are going to our family vacation in Florida! We probably won't make too much, but the extra money will always help somewhere!

Sunday: Church, hanging out with my fam, making sure I have everything completed for the last week of school before finals week!

I am using way too many exclamation marks. I must be really excited about something.

Marriage Failing? Pop a Pill.

You may soon be able to get a prescription for love?

Oh,Thank God. Just what we all need.

Apparently, love is all around... your local pharmacy. Soon. Reasearchers at the University of Oxford have written a paper proposing a real life love potion. A pill that would recreate the feeling of being in love. So, just when you are about to sign the divorce papers, pop the love pill instead. This brings a whole new meaning to meds saving your marriage. Oh, wait, that wasn't a saying?

So people, whoever they are, have proposed a pill, a combo of five different types of drugs, to manipulate the brain into thinking that you really, really, really want your spouse. You want them enough that you will just forget all the crap they have put you through and stay with them. Sounds like a plan. Right? How have they not already manufactored this like crazy? New drug: LOVE!

List of ingredients:

1. Pheromones: Researchers aren't really sure if they have an effect or not, so they just threw them in the pill to make it sound good.
2. Testosterone: Increases sexual desire, but doesn't do anything for romance or attachment. All women already know this. So they have to add more than just pheromones and testosterone to make this drug even half work.
3. Then some other stuff that I don't even know what they're talking about. Read the article for yourself.

Anyways, sounds like something that could help a lot of couples out. We'll see.
