THE AWESOMENESS

This week for my pop culture activity was the WARRIOR DASH!!! It was completely awesomeness. The event was a 3.5 mile race with obstacles in it like crawling under barbed wire (which my back caught ahold of) and jumping over fire. This event is the worlds largest running event. This is because it is offered all over the world.  It was really cool being there seeing how people act when everyone is there to have fun and craw through the mud. I would recommend that anyone should go do this. I hadn't  worked out for this at all.

Skills

The main skills that I have gotten this semester is just getting back into the swing of things. Since I took some time off from school it is hard to get back into it

This week pop culture

This week the iPhone 5 was released. This apparently is a big deal. I will say that I have read about the iPhone 5 but I'm not going to go buy it right off the bat. I don't understand how people go stand in line for a new phone. which is going to be obsolete in a few months when another phone coms out.  I will say that I have an iPhone 4s which works perfectly fine.  Some people say that they got it for the better programing called IOS6. Well i was able to upgrade my phone for free to IOS6. So I just don't understand the camping out for a phone. If someone could tell me people do this please do.

Pop culture 3

This week I watched and read about the embassy attacks. I am more mad about the fact how Obama is handling it. They invaded American land. That is an act of war. But instead he says that America is sorry for the video. We're not sorry. That's the freedom of speech right there. What we should say is that we're sorry for the bomb about to hit you in the face. They want a war they can have it.

9/11 Article

I agree with the writer completely. I need to start to do this more often. Just sit down and write whatever is on my mind for the topic. then read over it and figure out what works then keep making that draft less shitty.

Prepping for class... or the lack of

How do I usually prepare for class.  That all depends on how I am feeling honestly.  After going to class during the day and then going to work right after until about midnight.  I usually don't feel up to doing all my school work.  Usually I will skim over the readings just to try to get a good idea of what the reading is about.  It is a bad habit that I need to kick and make myself start actually reading rather then going to bed.  As for the class contribution since all I did was skim over the assignment I will only contribute if it is something that I am one hundred percent sure that it was something I read.  I have noticed that when I actually do read the assignment and contribute to class it helps me with my classwork/homework because it is helping me to pull stuff out of the readings rather then just read to say I read the school work.

Does tv really make us smarter?

In the article the written tells us that tv actually makes us smarter because the script in the show is much more complicated then older tv shows. I would have to agree with him that the shows are much more complicated then previous tv shows. I can unfortunately agree with both sides of this argument. The argument that it makes you smarter is a possibility but only if the person is aware of what they are learning. Otherwise it is just entertainment that will go in one ear and out the other.
