It happened

So, I missed the due date. This was the first time i have missed the due date on my blog assignment. I went home over the weekend and it was really boring because nobody was in Greensboro and I just sat at home and did homework. I did the next three weeks of my math homework and two weeks of math. I felt really good about getting so much done and then I realized that i forgot this.
Anyways, today i met with my group for our ethnography project and we walked around campus and found some really cool stuff. I found out that the founder of UNCC has a grave site in the garden by east deck. We took a bunch of pictures, but they are not on my phone.My mind is scattered and i have a really bad headache.... So im sorry that this is so short. If i get up to it, i will get back on tomorrow and make it a little better.

Literacy Narrative Project Reflection

It's another Sunday night and some how I forgot about this blog again. I don't know how I always remember to do this at 11:45 every Sunday, but I think I will make it. Anyways, my weekend was very awesome. I had  a lot of fun hanging out with my friends and I went to a soccer game on both Friday and Sunday. We won.... by a lot.
So our narrative project is slowly coming around to that due date. Lacy has decided to do what she like to call it, "A Rolling Due Date." I'm not really sure what that means, but i'm sure that she we let us know on Monday. I have already worked on my paper and it is currently in the third draft stage. I feel that it has come a long way from my first draft and at this point, I want to work on it and make it as good as it can be. This paper has gone from a simple project in class to a personal reflection. I actually care more about how well the paper is and how well it is expressed than getting the grade. Now don't get me wrong, i still want to get a good grade, but thats not the main goal. To be honest, it is a little weird how much i have gotten into this assignment.
I hope that this wasn't too poorly written; i am watching The Social Network on FX. This movie is really good. I want to leave you with a cool little fact i just heard during a commercial.

Did you know in one year Americans eat enough popcorn to fill the empire state building.... 18 times.
That's a lot of popcorn and yes..... I made it before 12:00. :)

Fall Break and Lots of Work

It was a wonderful fall break for most of the 49ers, including myself. I went back to Greensboro and spent the weekend with my family and some friends, but inevitable it had to end and we had to come back to school. My school schedule is actually pretty nice because I don't have any classes on Friday. So the thought of a two day week wasn't too bad. It started out with Pre-Calc on Wednesday and then Chemistry. Now normally I have to go to Communications, but lucky for me it was cancelled. Thursday I went to English where we wrote in our notebooks about possible names for our midterm project. I am not very good at coming up with names for things so this assignment actually was a little hard. We also did this really cool assignment were we had to rant about grammar. It was a fun way to wake up our minds and get the juices flowing. After English i went to UCOL.

Finally..... My short week of four classes is over. One of my friends was going back to Greensboro on Friday so I figured why not. Since I got back i have been spending my time to finish my homework and read. Every week, I have Chemistry homework due at 11:59 on Sunday. Usually this does not take me that long, but this week we had a lot of questions. Each question have between 5 and 10 parts to it and so i found myself spending quite a little bit of
time on it.

Anyways, I have been doing my homework and now I am working on English. I just started so I have not done any of the reading or the mapping the essay activity. I opened the assignment and saw that it was 14 pages with semi-small print and i came to the conclusion that I will hold off until tomorrow.
I don't know what the weather was like in Charlotte today, but it was amazing in Greensboro.

Midterm Project

This is where we ended up finding the book

A description of all the floors

So this week, instead of going to our Monday class for English, we all got to go to the library aka "Club Atkins". I had a hard time finding my group because they said meet them on the second floor and I thought the basement was floor number one. Anyways, we started off by reading the assignment out loud and deciding on a book. Bryan came up with the idea of using a Dr. Sues book because a lot of his work can be interpreted different ways. We went online and checked to see if they would have any and where they would be. We didn't think they would because its a children's book, but to our surprise they had a lot by him. We found the book's call number "LU M1997 P745 C4" and started on our journey. Kelsey and Bryan went looking first while Nikki and I watched the laptops. After a little bit of time they came back and said they couldn't find it. They said the librarian said it was on the fifth floor. So now it was Nikki and my turn. We got up and walked to the Elevator and I asked Nikki if she had ever been to the tenth floor.

I figured we were supposed to explore the library and that was one of the coolest floors with all of the book and especially the view. She said no, so we took a quick pit stop and then were back on our mission. When we got on the fifth floor, there were so many books. We didn't know where to start. We had to have Bryan text us the call number because we forgot the paper.

10th floor

Once we received the text, we started to walk down the rows. Thinking it would be easy we wandered and then wandered some more. Quickly we found out that this wasn't going to be easy. We ended up finding the book and took it back down to the 2nd floor to talk about it. We talked as a group for a little bit of time then a few of us had to leave to go to our next class. I came back to my room after a long day and wrote into my day book.  I have a few pictures that were not able to make it in the slide show. Our slide show is on this website http://share.snacktools.com/A55A79EC5A8/bunaom9t.
