Sooo yesterday was our last class...booo hooo (hahah JK) no acually I most likely will not see a lot of my fellow students that were in that class
The group I have been waiting for finally presented. LEAGALIZING POT, WEED, BUD...whatever you call it. IT SHOULD BE LEGAL.
ANYWAY, I really really exjoyed their video. I have to say all of the points that they brought up were extreamly logical. I acaully found myself arguing with a friend about pot being legalized using the information I learned from their presentation.
The fact that Americas most asked question to president OBAMA was the legalization of the "drug" was extreamly interesting. He ended up not answering it. I really liked how the group showed these activists opinions as well as showing obamas speech on the matter.
As most people know I am all for the legaization of the drug. If something like Alcohol and ciggarettes are allowed to be leagal (well for those of 19 or 21) Shouldnt something as harmless as pot be leagalized? Think about it how much court time and jail time are people forced to spend each day because they were in possession of the drug or they were high., THATS OUR TAX MONEY!!! NO FAIR!!!! We house so many criminals in the United States who were found guilty of possioson or under the influence of weed. This is rediculous. To spend time in jail just because you wanted a good time? It's not like you shot and killed someone?
I don't know about you but I have never heard of anyone getting high then killing someone. It just does not happen because when you smoke you are way too lazy to plot a crime. You just sit there and zone out, laugh at everything, eat a lot, and most likely experience the best sleep known to man kind. If people can use it for medicipal perposes then the drug cannot be that dangerous.
In fact there are plenty of studies that says that Pot is not at all addictive. At least not physically. Now if it is legalized I do not believe that it should be smoked every day. But, that is just stupid.
A recent study that was used in the video that the group used said that 90 percent of American population has at one point experimented with the use of the drug. IF that is the case, the people who enforce the penalties are the ones that are penilizing society for using it. This is just hypocritical
In conclusion (not that this was a formal paper or anything) weed should be legalized because it would not only help our economy but it would chill out those who enforce the drug possesiion and use by pulling the stick out of their...you know what!
;-D

We are almost outta here!
Wow, this semester flew. It is strange to think that finals are next week. I mean, where did the time go? I am not complaining because I am happy it went fast but seriously, I can still remember the first day of comp class like it was yesterday. We had to ask a partner is we are more like a monkey or a kitten. I believe I choose kitten because I love nothing more than napping. I acually have a major problem, I enjoy napping so much that I cannot bring myself to study for finals!
Yesterday we presented out project to the class. I was so worried the video would not turn out very good. But honestly, the video was the best. Even the students enjoyed it. I have to say, the video was hard to make because I do not know how to edit and so I had to leave that up to Chad. Not knowing how the video would turn out was very anxiety prevoking. I was extreamly satified with the results. Its weird how we spent a good part of the semester planning out this video and how quickly the deadline approached.
I can honestly say the comp class was one of my worries this semester. I worried because we as a class had to make the deadlines for everything. When I do not have control or deadlines set in advance I tend to freak out. Even after we made the deadlines I worried about how we were going to get all of this work done. We did it. And it was a sucess. Now we only have to make it through finals, and we would have survived freshman yeah! YEAHHHH!!!!!!

That wasn't bad at all, In fact It was good
Ok, So yesterday afternoon our class was required to go to this composition reading in the sub instead at class. I had mixed feelings about it through out the day. Honestly my first thought was awsome we do not have class!! But then the reality sunk in that I was going to have to drag my ass to the other side of campus and sit through a boring poetry reading (HEY don't judge that was what I was expecting!)
Anyway once I got there I had found out that I had missed the most reacent reading session and needed to wait for the next one. WELL THAT SUCKS now I need to sit here and do nothing for about an hour! So me and Victoria went to the bear cafe which I acually had never been too and found out that it was extreamly chill there. I sat on the computer and played on Facebook, which is the best way in my mind to pass time. I could have very well started studying for finals BUT WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!
SO finally the time came to gather into the reading room. I cursed under my breath as everyone including myself piled into this tiny room and waited for the "torchure" to begin.
SO the first reader in my opinion was very hard to follow, he spoke about somthing that had to do with a charecter in a movie becoming a man by loosing his virginity and taking some ladies. So i quickly stopped listening because as soon as I hear anything realated to sex I start to not want to hear it because to me it is awkaward. He read fast but the words he used to describe the film made me cringe because the images of sex he portrayed through words were just too vivid. Kudos to him not being able to say the words, vagina, penis, penitration and viginity all with a stright face and in a serious manner.
Now the reader that caught my attention the most about a lady who wrote about the movie "click" I believe her paper was called "Point and click" This caught my attention because not only was this a movie I have viewed and enjoyed serveral times but I never realized how much symbolism is in the production. When I saw this movie I did notice it was not going to end happily with light hearted comedy. Instead it ends very sad. The woman described this film as a "heart wrenching tale that teaches us all in the end to appreciate life and live it to the fullest." I never realized how the movies lighting starts out in a very well lite nice setting but as the drama moves outward the scences become darker and more depressing. Being that I never realized this aspect of the film I acually went back to watch the movie later that evening. (For real I have it in my dorm) I was suprized of all of the aspects of the film that she discussed in her paper that I never acually realized
Lastly, the final reader wrote about the movie 28 days. Now this movie acually scared the crap out of me when I first saw it when I was fairly young. SO being that I had experienced the terror of this movie her introduction automatically had me hooked. I do not remember exactly the decriptive words but I could acually see in my mind that scenes as she described them. I know I sound like a wimp when I say this but I acually witnessed goosbumps when she spoke about the man puncturing the zombies eyeballs into the socket. (YUCK) One of the things that I really found intriging is how she was able to keep eye contact with her audience throughout her presentation. I know that caught my attention because as she read about every drop of blood and scream of vain described made her piece seem even more passionate and intense being that her eyes met with mine. Her voice literally stuck in my brain which helped me concentrate on every minute detail she expressed.
To finish up here I thought that I would say that I went into this composition reading seminar thing with an extreamly closed mind. Thinking that it would be long and boring. I seriously thought of the stereotypical poetry readers that spill all of their deepest feelings as tears roll down their face. I thought OH MY GOSH PLEASE KILL ME!!!! My mind set was very quickly changed after the first reader finished and I was automatically intrigued by how fabulous theses readers presented their papers. The lesson I learned is you need to go into all aspects of college with an open mind, Not just for the grade but for the fact that you may acually like what you will learn. I may acually consider attending next year!
by the way I found this video and thought it was funny and kinda related to 28 days. check it out!
