Ugh!! Here we go again. I don’t really know how I am
supposed to do this or what to talk about so I’m just going to ask why 250 word
Mr. Sweeney. It’s already I have to babble on and on about things that happen
in class and thing outside of class. I am completely out of topics. Now I have
to babble on and on about having to babble on and on. I respect your teaching
and everything but 250 words is a bit much don’t you think. I though blogs were
supposed to be a short review about something that happen and has you own
personal opinion. I feel like I’m writing an essay right now as we speak. See there
I go again babbling about these long and blogs. It’s actually pretty hard
making up topic to write about. And I won’t writ about the readings because
that requires me to actually read them. And let’s be honest nobody actually
reads those things. I read at least one and made a blog and in the process I nearly
died of boredom. I don’t know maybe if the blogs did not have to be so long and I
did not procrastinate it would be easier. (I highly doubt it)

Blogs Blogs Blogs
To be honest I’m a little tired of having to write all these
blogs. No offense to Mr. Sweeney my English 100 teacher but Jeez man. Enough is
enough. Sure it would've helped if I actually did them on time but is going to remember
to write a blog every time something interesting happens. I honestly can’t even
remember what I had for dinner last night so there is no way I going to remember
what happened at a basketball game or a soccer game. I tried but as soon as I turn
on my laptop and logon to blogger.com create a new post think of an interesting
title everything that I planned on writing just goes POOF!! Maybe it is because
I may have a short attention span or I have short term memory loose. I don’t
know but what I do know is that I don’t ever want to write a blog again after
this class again no offense to Mr. Sweeney. I hope I can finish these thing and
never have to worry about them again because if I do then I will drop that
class like a hot potato. Doing this one blog has me just about completely drain
I think it is best if we only have to do five of these blogs but Mr. Sweeney
thinks otherwise so here I go of in to a blogging rampage
Softball Tailgate
What better way to get the attention of Richard Bland
College students then with the FREE FOOD!!! It was a very hot day and the food
that was provided was excellent. The lemonade and tea was made to perfection. The
softball games was the center of attention as packs of people lined up to get
their food and search for a seat. Though it started a little late I enjoy how
many commuters and on-campus people interacted in support of the softball team.
What could have made the event better was more tables and a few more tents to
keep the sun from nearly cooking the people who waited in the extra-long line
to get food. Other than those thing I had a very good time laugh and cheering
on our Statesmen into victory. I believed if the school had board casted the
event more, made sure it was everywhere for people to see, then more people
would’ve participated. So they could’ve music and prizes to give away. Then when
this event comes around next year people from all over would attend RBC and it
would’ve made the event more exciting because of the new people. I really like
how Richard Bland makes the best of it small campus and make the student feel
as if this is a university rather than a junior college. Thank you Richard Bland
College for making this year as exciting as you could

Time To Catch Up!
For the past semester I have been slacking like there is no
tomorrow. I know that’s a bad thing but once you fall the wagon for a couple
days. Days turn into weeks and then you get that wake call that the semester is
almost up. Sad part about it is I didn’t really pay attention last semester to
that wakeup call now I’m repeating a couple of my classes. But this semester I have
never been more on top of my work. Just the other day I spent six hours in the
library catching up on work I missed. Luckily I was able to turn the work in
even if it was late. If my teachers haven’t been so generous I would have O.O.L
(Out Of Luck) and I would be failing yet another semester. I can’t afford to
take the same classes a third time in a row. It was bad enough I had to take
them a second time. But rest assure this semester I’m going to be the A and B I
always tried to be. Can’t wait to see how my hard work paid off.
"Superman and Me" An Interesting way to Read
In the beginning of the semester my English teacher assigned
the class an article or short story to read called "Superman and Me"
by Sherman Alexie. In the story Alexie is the narrator and he talks about how
he learned to read using a Superman comic book. He describes how he would see a
picture and interpret what the word would be saying. For instance in one
picture he saw Superman bursting through a door and in his mind he was think
the words were saying "Superman bursts through the door". From that
moment on he began to describe how his love for reading blossomed because of
the many books his father would bring to his house. As he grew up he began to
read every chance he could, and soon became a writer much to his surprise
because he wanted to be a pediatrician. He worked hard to succeed in school and
worked harder to inspire kids to do the same. I actually found this story an
interesting read. It made me think of how many children who simply don’t try
because they are not expected to. I would one day like to inspire kids and show
them that there is nothing wrong with succeeding especially if it’s for you.

The English Class of the Semester
In most college English classes you would do a lot
to every time you went there. But in Mr. Sweeny's English 100 class.... Let's
just say they are moments where the students and the teacher are just staring
at each other. Not that I'm complaining or anything. I actually enjoy the class
because the times where we're not staring blankly at Mr. Sweeny the class is
filled with bad jokes and brainstorming. I’d be lying if I said I don't look
forward to being in English class Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11:00
every week. Just by the couple weeks spent in the class and you would
understand. Regardless of the somewhat jokes Mr. Sweeny gives I can tell he’s
an excellent teacher and I hope those who in his class or those who are soon to
be in his class will feel the same way. Because as soon as I find out whether
or not he teaches English 101 you can rest assure that I will be the first one
to sign up for his class. And if he does not then you already know who I will
be going to for help. And for those who don’t have Sweeny… well I feel sorry
for you
