This class

This English class has been my most productive English class ever. All my English classes in high school have helped, but not in the level that this one has helped. With all the papers I have had to write for this class, I felt like I really knew what I was doing. With previous papers I just "winged" it. I also put more effort into this class and I believe that is why I got more out of it. I learned how to "Read Like A Writer" and how to correctly do a works cited page. I think the main reason for my success in this class is because of my teacher. She showed slot of effort into helping us succeed in the class. With all the papers she offered extra time to help us understand what we missed. She also let us turn in a rough draft before our final one. This allowed us to look at our mistakes and correct them before turning in our final paper. I know It seems I am trying to get some brownie points, but she really did help me a lot in this class. Unfortunately I don't have her for Comp 2, but hopefully I will have her again sometime while I am at AUM. I do wish I had stated on these blogs earlier than today. But my amazing teacher said if our last 15 or so are good, then she might accept only 60 posts instead of 70. I'm praying she accepts 60.

New Job

I recently had an interview with a doctors office here in Montgomery. A lady at my church works at the doctors office and knew that i was studying to be a nurse. She called me one day and said that they may have an opening for  lab technician when the new year comes around. She said I should come by for an interview. A little nervous, I went in for the interview. She said that if I got the job, I would get to see the patients in their room and take their vital signs. She said that they would teach me most of what I needed to know. I was very excited on what I would be able to do if I got the job. The lady from my church called me the day after and told me I did good. She also said I should be expecting a call from her within the next week or two. I still haven't gotten a call but my fingers are crossed. This job would help me in so many ways. I would get experience in the medial field and it would help me get to know what I liked and did not like about nursing. This will also look good on my application to nursing school at AUM. Wish me luck!

regrets

There are not too many things I regret in my life so far, except the things I did not do in high school. In high school my main sport was golf. I was pretty good at it so i dedicated my time towards it. Before I started playing golf, I grew up playing baseball. I was pretty good at baseball but I got burned out on it so I decided to play golf in high school. Looking back on it, I regret not playing at least one year of high school baseball. Another thing I regret not doing while in high school is playing football. I played when I was younger but never really liked it a lot. I was going to play in high school but decided not to because I did not want to risk getting hurt and ruining my season for golf. Looking back, I wish I would have played. Going to all those Friday night football games and having the fans cheer for you sure made me wish I had played. My high school days are over and I regret not playing those two sports that, deep down, I really wanted to play. The only positive thing about not playing those sports is that I became really good at golf. I would not be as good as I am now if I played baseball or football. I guess it was the right decision to not play those sports, but I wonder how things would be now if I had.

Highschool

My junior year in high school I had a history teacher; let us just say she was different. This woman was loud and rude. She would yell for no reason at all. I guess she just liked the sound of her voice. Although she was loud and rude someday she would be so sweet. It was a little confusing. I guess you could call her bipolar. She would say how strict and mean she was, but she would give us the exact tests the day before. When we had subs we could put anything, literally anything, down for the answer and get credit. Her class was very easy, but it was not effective. Unless you took it upon yourself to learnt he subject matter, all you were doing was memorizing it the day before. In a week all of that information was gone. I am so glad I never had her as a teacher again.

Test taking

I just finsihed my department final for psychology. This was one of those things where you have known about it all year, but you procrastinate and do it last minute. It happens, a lot, especially to me. I admit that I am a procrastinator. It must be in my genes because I really just cannot help  it. Anyways, I took the final and made an 85. That is an okay grade but I really wanted at least a 95. The part that really frustrates me is that I thought I had them all right.Even though I did wait till last minute I still put a lot of effort into it and tried really hard. So and 85 just is not okay. The department final does not tel you what you missed either; so now I am thoroughly confused on what I got wrong. Finals in general just stress me out and frustrate me. I cannot wait till Christmas break!

Dad

The person I look up to the most in my life is my dad. He has done so much for me. Far as I could remember I always did things with my dad. He took me hunting, fishing, to my first Alabama football game, and gave me my first beer. He always taught me to be my own man. Not to let anyone make my decisions. Today we do not get to hangout as much as we used to, but I will never forget all the things he has done for me. If it wasn't for hm, I would not be so into golf as I am now. I remember all the long days of him teaching me how to play. How he would be patient even after the long hours of me complaining. He made me into the man I am today, and I hope I can be as good as a father to my son as he was to me. He told me he is the man he is because of his father. My grandpa died when I was young so I dont remeber much of him, but because of my father, I know he must of been an amazing dad.

Taxes

One thing I am strongly looking forward to is getting my W2s back. As soon as I get them back I plan on filing my taxes as soon as possible, and by filing as soon as possible, I will get my money back sooner. Last year I did not get that much money back because I did not work as much. This year, however, I have made more money. I have been attempting to save up money for new accessories for my truck: lift kit, tires, and rims. I will be honest, I am not a very good saver. I spend way too much money on food and unnecessary items. Money just burns a hole in my pocket, but your taxes are like a secret bank account. You go all year with out the money and then poof you get it back! It is great! I will be so thrilled when I can finally buy all these things for my truck with my tax money!
