art museum

At the art museum I had a pretty good time. I thought it was a good change from the class room to go somewhere else and have class for a day. The helmet mask that we looked at was interesting. I thought that its pretty interesting on that it was made from wood and could be worn on your head. But I lost interest in it real quick and was ready to go on to the next piece of art which I thought was really cool. It seemed disturbing that in the painting that actually happened. I cant imagine being burned alive just for the oil in your body? Defiantly not a good way to go. When we had to act out the art it was fun to be able to see it in a 3 dimensional way instead of just on canvas might change your view a little bit on paintings and see what the artist is imagining. The last set of paintings we looked at was very weird and I don’t get art that I honestly don’t think that some of that stuff is art. I think that paint that’s swirled around or thrown on a canvas is just that. But that’s my opinion.

beahs presentation

I thought Beahs presentation was awesome. He had a lot to say not only about the book but about life and school and hard work. I honestly thought it would be boring and all about the book. But it wasn’t, I really didn’t know that he didn’t want his book to be published or even that he thought of writing one for that reason. It was really nice to be able to see what he had to say about his experiences and how he threw humor into the mix of it even at its more than what I expected. I like how he talked about his uncle and his reasons for how hot water worked or the walk ways that the ground just moved. I also liked the stories about when he went to New York and had his own hotel and had electricity. We really do take that stuff for granted everything we have runs off gas or electricity when the power goes out nothing works and people are at a loss. When he talked about being in college in Ohio was cool I didn’t know if he has only see places like New York or in states like ours with not much. We can relate to him and its cool.

high school vs. college

College life so far has been excellent. I don’t think it will get better until next year when I have an apartment. When I was in high school it was a boring drag. The same people every day, it was a small school and it was getting really annoying. I didn’t really have to try at all. It was very easy, I could just show up to classes and get A’s and B’s. The tests were very easy I didn’t have to study at all. Now that I’m in college I am starting to believe that you really do have to study 2 hrs for every hour of class. But I’m getting used to it so it is not really a big deal anymore compared to the first 2 weeks. I like being in college so much it’s exactly how I thought it would be. I don’t spend any money here either except for the occasional 10 bucks on the weekend so I’m saving so much money here its amazing. The only thing that sucks is the sports teams this year. BSU has never really been good at sports except for last year. That really raised expectations for this year and there not doin so hot. Which sucks but it still doesn’t have a touch on high school. Its way better.

rubric and my level (for week of Sept. 2)

i think that my last paper i wrote in high school would be somehwhat ok yo turn into mrs. Nuebaur but not great. our english teacher did make us write 2 essays and tryed to make them college level. she wanted us to get used to writing in mla format and circle everyt little mistake we made to help us improve on our composition. then we wrote another one a few weeks later to see if we improved. so i think that helped improve my writing but we didnt have very good topics in my mind. it was hard to understand what she wanted so in the end it helped a little but not a whole lot. i think on the rubric i rate about a c for college level papers. i could use some improvement and for as much as i would hate to say it i think practice is how im gonna make it better but i hate writing papers. this class will definalty help me in writing and thinking of ways to write differently. so far this class hasnt been that bad either i dont mind having to get up and come so that will help in my writing i think. ha i hope
