Let The Good Times Roll

Tonight I am going to the Red Bar with some friends from work. I have heard awesome things bout it. They apparently have the best hot dogs ever, and a sloppy joe challenge where you eat a 5 lb. sloppy joe in 30 minutes and you get your picture and name on the wall. I am tempted to try this since I am pretty good and throwing down food. Although I am afraid of vomiting from it. So hopefully it will be a good night of food, drinks, and friends.

Speech

I am not really a big fan of talking in front of people about vague topics. So this semester I was not looking forward to taking speech class. I hated speech in high school because they would give you a vague topic like an acceptance speech and tell you to make it 5 minutes long. I do not have much of an imagination. I hate just making somethign up like that. So I thought I would HATE speech, but I ended up with the best speech teacher ever, Tony Ziegler. If you can get him do it. He is very funny and very professional. He is a comedian and a hypnotist so the classes are hilarious, but he also is very well versed in speech communication. I learned alot in that class and can now say I can talk about just about anything. So for those who dread taking speech there is hope.

Ron Paul

Ron Paul is my political hero. I think he is one of the most down to earth, common sense politicians in Washington. He was one of the only congressman to vote against the War in Iraq, the Patriot Act, the bailouts, and the stimulus packages. All which were major failures. He believes in limiting the size and power of the government, he believes in not spending more money then we have, he believes we shouldn't go to wars unless it is the only way for us not to be attacked, and he believes in the legilization of marijuana. Most people in Washington view him as crazy and that his ideas are to far out there, but so far he has been right in predicting all of the things that have just happened to our country. He is a doctor and a very smart man and should be listened to, especially since those leading us now seem to be just digging us in a bigger hole.

Summer time!

I am so excited that this semster is almost over. It has been a very rough one. I bit off way more than I could chew and then mixed with various other factors in my life it created a perfect storm of being an awful semester. I am glad that the end is here and I am still entact. This summer is very promising. My best friends are all coming home, I will most likely be getting a new job in the backroom at Target, and the warm weather is here. I will be taking 3 online summer classes, Music Appreciation, Cultural Anthropology, and Mid-East History. I am very excited about these courses. In the fall semester I have created an easier semester on myself. So I am also looking forward to that. I am taking German 101, Biology 100, Criminology, Intro to Police Administration, and Policing: Methods and Ethics. I can't wait to be done here to SWIC and transferred and being able to see the end of college. This first year is hard because I feel like an adult but yet I have alot of school left to complete. I hope that this summer will rejuvenate me enough to cross the finish line.
