Blog 55: Rainbows

My most favorite that mother nature presents to us is rainbows. I love all the misty colors and the nice curve bent that is associated with all rainbows. However, I dislike thunderstorms, but when a rainbow appears its really worth it. I think the first time I became facinated by rainbows is when I was probably five or six years old. My friend and I was playing outside after a summer rain, when the sun comes out to shine a bit of light on everything. Behind these trees, behind this house is where we spotted this miraculous rainbow. As we were playing in the street being young and free, we saw a red heart start to fall down from the rainbow. As crazy as it sounds, its so true. I was so excited for I never saw anything like that before. Even till this day when I see a rainbow I watch to see if I will see a little red heart, sadly I haven't seen one ever since that day. I think that rainbows are the most beautiful and facinating thing in nature.
Also, even though I know this will never happen, I always wonder if there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Silly I know. But can you ever get to the end of a rainbow? I also feel that rainbows represent numerous things, such as hope, promise, and life. Rainbows are one of life's simple pleasures, so enjoy it.
And so it is.

Blog 54: My first Crush

My first crush. This, for me, is the most hilarious topic to write my blog about. Honestly, when I was younger I had numerous crushes. However, when I would crush I would crush hard. I feel like have the stuff I told you all would probably just freak you out.
Well when I was in the the seventh grade, I believe is when I had my first real crush. This is when I attended my catholic school and when I had to unfortunatley where uniforms. However, this is irrelevant, I almost feel like it is relevant. Anyway his name was Ian, and we both had the same homeroom together. I thought he was the most funniest and one of the cutest boys in my grade at the time. Sadly, I was weirdly obssessed with him. I emptied an index card box and made like a little shrine for him, creepy I know. Anyway, in the box I had a picture of him, one of his art pictures that he drew and (which I stole), I also had an old tore up baseball that I had put in the box as well. He played baseball for our school, so when I found it outside one at recess I was so excited. This is such an embarassing story, but luckily I have grown up from those awkward, precious adolescent years. Its funny what infatuation will make you do.
And so it is.

Blog 53: pet peeve

There are many things that really annoy me, but my biggest pet peeve would probably have to be lack of communication. I hate it with a deep dark passion!!! I especially hate lack of communication when it's an important day. Communication is very important for anything you do. Communication is key in relationships. If a couple don't know how to use proper communication skills, inevitably there will be problems that will soon arise. I personally believe that lack of communication is the reason why most relationships and marriages fail. However, there are numerous occasions where the lack of communication was apparent. Recently, my friends had tried to plan a dinner and a movie girls night out. We had planned to eat at this tuna place on high street but because it was a bar, they had the authority to not let us in after 8:00 pm. That evening I had a practice and there was no way we could meet that eight o'clock dead line. So I had suggested that we all should just eat somewhere else. I had suggested that we all eat at B'dubs, and everyone seemed cool with the suggestion. However, before I knew have the girls had made there way to Johnny Rockets. The other half of us was just really dumbfounded. That was really annoying night for me, and it was all because of lack of communication. When people don't communicate properly it can cause a lot of confusion and mayhem. Whenever you are trying to plan something with someone no matter if it's big or small, you always want to make sure everyone is on the same page and knows everything that is going on. So please always remember to communicate, communicate, communicate!!!! And so it is.

Blog 52: Canada

When I was in the seventh grade, I recieved the opportunity to go on a two week trip to Western Canada, with People to People Student Ambassador program. The trip was so amazing and I got to participate in various activities that I probably wouldn't have had the chance to do. The first three nights I got to go camping. Take that I had never been camping in my life and didn't know what to expect I was freaking out a little bit. We actually got to sleep in Teepees on a Native American reservation, so that was really fun. During these first three days I went hiking if you want to call it that, eventually I reached the top it looked over the trees and mountains and I could also see this river called "Ghost River", and later that day we actually got to swim in it. Another part of the trip is that we went whale watching, that was probably the most epic and beautiful thing I have ever seen so far in my life. I remeber the water and the sky being so blue that day, and the whales were so apparent. Through out the trip we experienced numerous adventures. Actually, that was my first time going on a trip for the first time by myself, my first time riding in an airplane, and the first time I had to learn how to be on my own and be responsible. In conclusion, that was by far the most amazing excperience I recieved at that age. Also I would love to go on another trip similar to this one in the near future.
And so it is.

Blog 51: Someone dead or famous

There are so many people that I wish I could meet, especially those who have made substantial contributions to society and the world. However, there are numerous ones, who are great entertainers that I wish I could have the opportunity and pleasure of meeting. I would love to have met Martin Luther King Jr. With his courage and determination, he changed the views and opinions of many people, and also changed society to what it is today. Obviously, he didn't do this alone, but I feel Martin Luther King Jr. had the greatest impact. He conducted marches and speeches to prove a point. It seemed that he never let anything hold him back or keep him from doing what he felt he needed to do and also what needed to be done. It would have been amazing to have been alive during the civil rights era, to hear him speak and also to have the opportunity to march side by side him. I feel that it would have total different feeling. I mean its different to read about it, but to actually be there and witness these prominent events would have a major impact on oneself. If I got to talk with him one on one I don't even know what I would say. I think that Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the greatest people that have ever lived, and his legacy continues to live throughout the world. However, he did make it apparent to me that if you want something go for it, if you feel something isn't right don't sit back but do something about it. He taught me to always have courage and determination and with that I should always succeed.
And so it is.

Blog 50: Best Gift

Being nineteen years old I have given numerous gifts, but I have also recieved many gifts as well. I love recieving gifts, but who doesn't? I don't know if I can say that there is a gift that I considered the best, because I appreciate everything I recieve. However, if I had to decide I would say my ice cream cake that I recieved for my sixteenth birthday. I love ice cream a lot, and always wanted an ice cream cake, so when my mom surprised me with it and other things I was so excited. The bottom was like chocolate brownie with caramel, cookies and cream, and vanilla. Everytime I took a bite I seriously thought that I had died and went to heaven. The cake was pretty good too, and it probably lasted about a week or maybe a little bit longer. I absolutely, positively love ice cream; if I could legally marry it I think I would. The importance of a gift isn't about how big it is, rather its about how it makes you feel, and what it means to you. I try to remember that whenever I recieve something, and I think that is why I am so thankful for anything and everything I recieve.
And so it is.

Blog 49: Job

Before I started to attend OSU in the fall, I had two jobs throughout my senior year. I was swinging from the trees with monkeys and taming wild cats. Thats right I worked at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanicale Garden. No, I wasn't swinging from trees with monkeys neither was I taming lions and tigers. However, I did work in the gift shop, but some days while I was working I can here lions and tigers roaring and hear monkeys causing a scene. Working at the zoo was a great job, with okay people and great long hours so I liked it alot. Also the management was pretty laidback, I remember somedays when I was working I would read a book and text all at the same time. Also other perks is that we would always get free food, including ice cream, cupcakes, and soft pretzels. I'm not familiar with the Columbus Zoo but at the Cincinnati Zoo, peacocks roam the park freely. However, one particular scorching, hot summer day, one of the peacocks made its way into one of the monkey areas and unfortunately got its head ripped off. YES! I'm not lying, imagine the kids who were at the scene when this happened they were probably traumatized, I mean I definitely would be. Also the Cincinnati Zoo was open during parts of the winter months and every year they put on the Festival of Lights. Working during these months is crazy and hectic and honestly I rather not. However, in the end its always enjoyable.
This spring i can't wait to go to the Columbus Zoo, for I heard its a pretty nice zoo.
And so it is.

Blog 48: Family Member

She's the rock and strength of who I am. She's my bestfriend, I tell her all my secrets and happenings sometimes I provide her with too much information. She's always there for me no matter what, she sacrifices a lot to make me happy and provide me with what I need. Sometimes she surprises me with little notes and gifts just to let me know that she is thinking of me which is great. If you haven't figured it out I am talking about my wonderful mom. She is actually on her way up here right now, so we can hang out and go shopping. Because it was her day off today, last night I presented her with the idea of coming up here, especially since I only had one class today. She said she would think about it, but didn't think she would come up. This morning after leaving my math class, trecking through the nasty rain, I stopped at the RPAC to get a bagel and a smoothie, and sure enough I recieved a call. So I am really excited that I get to spend the whole day with my mom. However, I do have a COMM mid-term to study for but I think that can wait. I mean she is my mom. I love you mom!
And so it is.

Blog 47:Anything

Time continues to evolves, it a never ending cycle. Imagine the energizer bunny it just keep going and going. Even though time is forever, I always feel like there is never enough hours in a day. Its extremely difficult when you have so many things to do, but just not enough time to complete it all. It also feels like being in college, the time goes by so fast, when you think its two clock its really five. However, I realized that it helps to create a schedule of everything you need to do and accomplish, by putting everything in time slots. It helps so much in managing what little time you do have. I actually forgot about this method until the other day when my friend had did it. I couldn't believe that I forgot about doing that, because that is what I use to do when I was in high school.
I wish I was able to stop time and reverse it. Being able to stop time would be great, because then I would have enough time to think and collect my thoughts. Being able to reverse time would be cool, because then I could relieve moments that I enjoyed and hate that have passed. Thats why I love that movie Click having the power to control time and what to do with it would be awesome. Time to me is a bittersweet association to our lives. Every minute counts.
And so it is.

Blog 46: Anything

Hey everyone, its another beautiful day so try and get out and enjoy it! In class on Friday I really liked the peer editing and review. Its great to get others people about your wrting and paper all at once. Especially, when the people who are doing this are also a part of your audience. It was interesting to look at the handouts and see what people thought about the argument and the paper itsself. Revealing if it met the CommmonPlace requirements of being timely, compelling, relevant and why. It let me know what I need to work on and make stronger. I really want to do well on this paper, so I'm going to make sure I do what I can to make that happen.
In other news, I love when the weekend comes around because its a chance to catch up on some much needed sleep that I unfortunately miss out during the week. However, for the past month practices for all these different shows has been consuming much of my time and it even have been trying to consume my week. So, I been trying to make sure I use every minute of my time effectively. I think I been doing pretty well with this tactic. I have practice today, so I decided this would be a great time to write my blog and do other work before I leave. Its great so now I dnt have to worry about it. I hope to finish this week off strong, and I hope everyone else do to.
And so it is.

Blog 44

I love the fact that tonight we get to write about anything that we want. First off, I would like to say that I can't wait till this quarter is over, and spring quarter comes to have new classes, a fresh start, and meet some more awesome people. However, I have been enjoying the weather this week, it has really lifted my spirits and has got me excited for Spring. Actually, I think it has gotten everyone excited, today I saw a lot of people riding bikes, skateboards, and just chilling outside enjoying the day. Recently, I discovered how to use Pandora, and I absolutely love it. Anyone who hasn't signed up for one, your missing out. I love listening to music especially when I'm doing other things, its great to have in the background. Life is really precious you should enjoy every minute of it and never regret it. I'm a sucker for reality shows, but here lately I haven't been able to watch any of my favorite reality t.v shows, I been so busy with school and other activities. I can't wait for the weekend, so I can sleep in and get a few more things done. In March Lil' Wayne and Nikki Minaj are coming to Columbus so I'm really excited about that. So I just realized that my blog wasn't posted, when I definitely wrote this last night and posted it around 11:40, so I'm really pissed. So I went to my edit post and it was just sitting there and the whole thing wasn't even there. I'm really upset cause I need my full credit, so hopefully I can explain this, and recieve all my required and deserved points.

Blog 43

Who Am I? This is a question I think everyone ask themselves at least once in their life. You may say "Oh I know who I am." Have you noticed that sometimes it seems that other people know you better than your self. Sometimes you might also find your self doing and saying things that you never thought you would say. Have you ever heard the phrases "Don't judge a book by its cover", or "What you see is what you get." These two statements are true and false. You never can be to sure who someone is. However, what about celebrities; they're in the spot light all the time. Celebrities are like everyone else having two sides that complete who they are. What you see on the exterior may not complete their interior. Celebrities definitely live two lives, one in the public eye and the other behind doors. This usually can generate two different sides, having a private and a public self. Everyone can agree that being who you are can be a difficult task. However, imagine living under a microscope; don't you think this could cause people to put on a show being influenced by the public and having to hide what they think won't be acceptable. The celebrity image continues to be distorted everyday, by the media and other factors. So I ask you the question, is what we see, really what we get?
And so it is.

Blog 42: Relevant

There are three things that make up a CommonPlace article; timely, compelling and last but not least relevant. My argument about celebrity images and their public and private self is very relevant because many people can relate to this topic. The public self and the private self with the Celebrity image is more popular than ever before. Some people are so involved with celebrities lives and who they are publicly and privately that you have celebrity impersonators. People begin to change who they are they are in the inside and the outside to be like their favorite celebrity. Also celebrities cover many of our magazines and tabloids. Tabloids are the worst of trying to cover every aspect of a celebrity's life, including their private and public persona. A lot of us buy these magazines wanting to know more and more about celebrities and what they are doing. Sometimes, however, these tabloids can destroy a celebrity's image. I feel that if I do everything correctly with my argument it will be very compelling, timely, and relevant. I just need to make sure I include many examples and evidense to back up my argument. But I also feel that my topic alone will always be timely, compelling, and relevant.
And so it is.

Blog 41: compelling

My argument in my Commonplace article, is compelling for the simple fact that it's about celebrities and their image to society. Everyone is intrigued with celebrities and their lives. People always want to know more and more, there's something about this that continues to draw people deeper and deeper into someone else's world.The argument has many pathos ideas. Most people become emotionally involved with celebrities just by listening Yo their songs, seeing them in concerts and magazines and watching them on t.v. However, this also goes for celebrities as well sometimes they become emotionally attached to their fans. In return this usually pushes them to advance in their career, and be the best at whatever they do. The lives of celebrities and their image will always be compelling. Commonplace expressed that in order for an article to be compelling, the article has to have enough persuasive evidence and information. For example, when Michael Jackson and Aaliyah passed away many people attended their memorials. This shows how someone's self image could have such a major influence on people. In conclusion, these are a few reasons why my argument is compelling. And so it is.

Blog 40: Timely Argument

The argument in my Commonplace paper, is very timely. The argument being about celebrity images I feel is very timely, for the fact there are so many celebrities that people look up to. This has been going on for awhile now, so I feel as though it is a trending topic that will continue. However, especially today society is very intrigued by celebrities and their life styles. I believe that celebrities and the media industry has caught on to this, and that is reason why so many celebrities have reality shows. In these reality shows, its either about their addictions, family, or career. For example, you have Celebrity Rehab, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and Basketball Wives. People will always continue to push to see, how much think they know about a celebrity's life. Most people always want to be like the people we love and admire. But are these people who we think they are? Are they different when a camera or a microphone isn't present? For Example, Lady Gaga is world phenomenon, majority of us love her music, outrageous style, and everything that she is liberating towards. However, Lady Gaga's real name is Sara; but in a recent interview with Fuse, she claimed that even her mom calls here Gaga, and actually when she was growing up she went by Gaga. Here we see how her public persona and private persona was brought together. We see how comfortable she is with herself and how she grasp all of who she is. So I feel this argument is timely and will continue to be. 
And so it is.

Blog 39: Hypothetical Scenario

Thinking of a hypothetical scenario that I could use in my Commonplace paper is a little difficult for me to think about, probably because it is hypothetical. What if we all, including celebrities went through life hiding who we really were? Would we all be happy and content? Okay, let's look at this from a mundane example. What if you pretened to be a vegetarian, but in reality you love and enjoy meat. And let's imagine that this guy/girl you are interested in is a vegetarian. But knowing you want to be with him or her, everytime the two of you go out, you pretend to be a vegetarian. So what if he or she catches you and realizes that your not who you say are, that you been hiding a side of yourself from them. That person would probably feel tricked. They also would most likely be more upset in the fact that you tried to hide it and not share all the parts of you with them. Therefore, it is important to be comfortable with who you are, and bring your public and private selves together. However, back to the topic of celebrity image. What if a record label was very interested in signing a particular artist to their label? On stage you seem to be this very outgoing, energetic self, or at least this is the perception that the audience recieve. So the record label decides to meet with this particular potential star, and they discover that they're not who they thought they were. That label could possibly not sign them or drop them from the label. So in this scenario, not bringing your public and private selves together could result in losing their job.
Public and private persona we all have them.
And so it is.

Blog 38: Personal Anecdote

I decided that my Commonplace article would be about Celebrity images and if their public persona matches their private persona. Occasionally, I wonder is the person we see, hear, and read about is that real or just a convenient show? However, there are many mundane situations where this type of situation occurs all the time. For example, I feel that up until my sophomore year of High School I had a private and a public persona. I remember when I started my freshmen year of High School, is when i didn't have to where uniforms anymore. Therefore, I found myself being very creative with my outfits or "public self." I don't know if I felt that, that was my time to be free from restraint of being the person that i wanted to project to the rest of the world. However, starting my sophomore year, is when I began to be comfortable in who I was, my outfits became less, I guess you can say outrageous. So I began to realize that I didn't have to project such an outrageous image, which wasn't letting my true colors show. In conclusion, you have to be comfortable with who you are. Also, sometimes you have to learn to mesh both your public and your private selves together. You are who you are.
And so it is.

Blog 37

So I attended the Writing Center the other day. If you guys haven't been, you definitely should go. The writing center is very small and quaint, I think it is a great writing atmosphere its not too quiet but just right. The staff was generally nice, and eager to get started. Posted on the walls of the room were various handouts that are very useful during the writing process. Also I think that by me attending the Writing Center, got me a little excited about writing it and finding more information. I will definitely attend another session, so I encourage all you that haven't to do so.
In other news, I participated in a fashion show yesterday in Dayton at Wright State University. Fashion shows are really fun, especially backstage. There's a lot of behind the scenes during fashion shows. You have the tech crew who makes sure everything is operating smoothly including lights, sound, projections and anything else that falls into that category. You also have the people doing the makeup, which I think is the best part of any Fashion show, because you can make yourself look very dramatic and not as you usually are during any other day its a chance to step outside of the box. The main part is that you have the designer and the clothes, their job is very important they have to make sure all the clothes presented on the models is how they pictured it, also making sure everything fits accordingly. You also have the people who are backstage helping out. They usually help organize and run easy quick errands that the designer and obviously the models dnt have time to do. So if you haven't had a chance to attend or participate in fashion show, you should sometime in the near future. There will actually be a fashion show March 5 at the Student Union here on campus. Yours truly will be participating, so mark your calenders and if your not busy take the opportunity to check it out.
And so it is.

Blog 35: Article

This evening, I read a very interesting article concerning diversity and discrimination here at Ohio State. The article was discussing how there are so many organizations and offices for minorities on campus here at Ohio State. The girl exclaimed that she didn't refute any of the many organizations and offices but she felt as though, its not fair to have all of these resources for certain groups of people, except for the majority of Caucasians here on campus. She exclaimed that Ohio State does a great job when it comes to diversity, including music, organizations, offices, and even certain living communities. However, she felt as though while the university is diverse, its discriminating as well when it doesn't offer an organization, an office, or a living community for Caucasians. She also realizes that having these certain organizations may cause an uproar of negative opinions and feelings of uneasiness for certain individuals.   
I would have to somewhat agree with her argument. I can see where one would feel as though that this discrimination. However, I feel that reason Ohio State or any other university doesn't have specific organizations and offices for the "majority" is maybe because the history behind many races and minorities. When you look back in a history timeline, one will discover that through out history Jews, Asians, African-Americans and many other races as well have always had the shorter end of the stick. They always in my eyes had it the worse compared to other races. So I feel as though that is the reason why many universities including Ohio State does this. 
In addition, however, like most of the organizations that are directed to specific minorities here at OSU, were generated by students themselves. So I feel as though, that if she really feel as though she is being discriminated against she could most definitely make an organization specifically directed towards the "majority", and as she stated, like the other organizations anybody would be able to join and participate if they feel need be. 
I really enjoyed this article, because I never heard someone apart of the "majority" speak out about something like this, and I find it great because I never would have thought, that someone would this way, so it for sure opened my eyes.
In conclusion, like was stated in the article, diversity is everybody no matter who you are, we're all unique and different, and sometimes share common interest.
And so it is.

Blog 34: CommonPlace Article

Tonight on commonplace, I read an article about Family Guy. I picked this article for the simple fact that I'm not a fan of Family Guy. I always try to watch an episode but never do I find it funny or even a tad bit interesting. Basically, the article was about how Family Guy is about social issues in society. Not only is it trying to make us laugh, but also make us aware of what is going on in our society. I believe this article is very timely for the simple fact that everyone watches Family Guy, and if your not a fan of Family Guy people find it a little strange and more importantly shocking. Family Guy is social phenomenon, not only is it a t.v show but its almost like a lifestyle in some way. You have Family Guy board games, clothes and many other accessories.
Since I am not a fan of Family Guy I found the article very compelling to read. In the article, she talked about how subjugation remarks are made for a quick laugh and how many of the controversialized issues are trying to be made normalized. I find this this to be very relevant to society today, it seems like people in this century are more easily manipulated, and I feel that Family Guy sees this as well. However, I feel that this issue is not only apparent in Family Guy but in many other t.v shows, movies, and music. What are these cultural media hype, entertainment trying to really tell us. What are they actually saying. Its something that we all should be thinking about, and maybe that there is a message behind everything. In conclusion, I absolutely agree with the argument that was made in this article.
And So it is.

Blog 32: About my paper

Today was another productive day at working on my paper. I did my work with my friend so it was easy for me to focus on what I needed to accomplish. I was also able to find more articles relating to my argument which was great. However I feel like finding articles is a difficult process and sometimes can be very discouraging. But you have to be persistent and you can't give up, otherwise you won't be successful in finding what your looking for, to get whatever you need to do done. Today I even started to pull out helpful sheets from my English class from senior year. Those were really helpful as well, so I'm glad I kept those papers, because they made my life easier. I even began to look at poems that related to my argument. My argument if it wasn't clear, is about public vs, private persona. I feel this is an issue everyone faces at least one point in their life. It apparent that not everyone is comfortable with their selves and who they are. But people need to realize that you are who you are, and you need to accept that and embrace it. However sometimes its necessary to change who you are if it benefits you and only you. But sometimes we try to change who we are to be what other people want us to be, which this causes confusion in our lives and within ourselves.
So all in all today was a good productive day and hopefully tomorrow will be even better, and that I come out with a decent first draft.
And so it is.

Blog 31: About my paper

I'm a little late with the blog entry I know, but I made substantial head way last night on my paper. I found a lot of information regarding my argument, which is really exciting. I plan on watching the episode again & also other episodes to help support my argument. Okay, so I have a suggestion for those of us that have issues with lack of motivation and procrastination. I think it might help to work with people who are also doing homework. At least for me it helped get me and keep me motivated. I feel like if my friend didn't do her homework with me last night, I definitely would have not used my time efficiently. This also goes for studying, sometimes studying with a partner is a lot easier and beneficial then studying by yourself. So I think I will totally use this strategy a lot more, hey it helped me you never know it might help you as well. In addition, however, tonight I'm going to continue to gather more information and start organizing everything into body paragraphs. Slowly but surely I'm learning not to waste time and start using it efficiently, for that is big influence in the area of procrastination. After this draft is due, I plan to have procrastination as a thing in my past. I don't want to deal with this issue ever again. Hopefully tonight I can really put in some time toward this draft and doing everything correctly. I hope tonight will be as productive as it was last night. In the end I really want to do well on this paper and prove to myself that I can do this. And so it is.

Blog 30: About my paper

Procrastination and lack of motivation consumes my life everyday. However yesterday I  did work on my introduction as planeed. The introduction wasn't that difficult for I just talked about the show a little bit and introduced some of the relevant characters. I'm scared to approach my body paragraphs, only because I been having difficulty finding scholarly sources. I just really hope that with the beginning of the weekend I don't lose sight in what I have and need to do. I wish I could be one of those people who had everything in order, and who was organized. My life would be so  much easier if it was like that. Today I feel like it is eaiser for people to be distracted because of all the social interactions that society place in  front of us everyday. You have Myspace, Facebook, and the one growing in popularity Twitter. All of these online social distractions is hard to resist especially when you are doing homework online. With myself, I know that I figure that I can multi-task being on Facebook and Twitter, while doing something online for class, unfortunately, instead of spending equal time between Facebook and school Facebook usually prevails in the end. Also I feel that my phone may be the biggest distraction of all. Either someone is always texting or calling, also you have all of the social apps that send you notifications constantly. I know one probably thinks well if all these arre problems to your procrastination then how about you turn off your phone, or don't log onto Facebook and Twitter. Honestly, I would say that its not that easy and I feel that I have to be connected at all times. Sad but so true.
And so it is.

Blog 29: About my paper.

So writing this paper has really been a challenge for me. Deciding on  a well developed argument, finding sources and other examples; its been very overwhelming. I really want to do well on this paper, so I plan on going to the writing center tomorrow and Friday to get some serious help. However, having this week off from attending English has been very helpfull. Tomorrow I plan to work on my introduction in depth and Friday build my body paragraphs, some time Saturday revise and figure out what I need and don't need, and then Sunday revise again. Hopefully I can follow this time line, but I have a serious problem with procrastination. However, I believe I can be committed if I stay focus in what I need to do. My outline for this research paper is well planned and thought out. Also my idea for my argument is more specific then when I first started. So that has made everything a lot easier.   
I'm determeined to do well on this paper and do whatever I need to do to make that happen. I want to grow and become a better writer and break my habit of procrastination. I have watched the episode I'm writing about numerous times, but I also feel like I need to watch more episodes, so I can build my argument and make it stronger. With other examples from other episodes will be a great way to support my argument and make my paper much stronger. So I'm ready to take this paper and succeed.
