Well that takes care of all the catching up I have to do for the most part.
Now Ive wanted to do this particular blog post for awhile and this seems like an oportune moment so here goes.
To my class mates I ask the question of why? Recently Ive been struggling with the drive to put out my best quality work because i figure why go all out when i can do the bare minimum and pass. Especially when all I have to do to get in to the collage I'm going to is basically ask to be let in. I realize this is flawed logic but humor me. So for any classmates who can offer up some kind of nugget of wisdom or reason I should care leave a comment below.
Anyway Thanks

Incorrect....
So its been brought to my attention that i did the Spectator sport thing
wrong. I was supposed to add Monty Python music in the background but
being that i have a particular disdain for Monty Python and his
works(not bashing anyone who does just not my thing) I opted to go with
some classical remix music. Hoping this wont be a problem for most
Re post Writing as A Spectator Sport
.
For the sake of having these assignments in order I'm re-posting my video here! Again Enjoy.Semester Quarter Review
1st : So i think we've established by this point that i need to put more effort in to it i get that part by now cant say its gonna happen but at least i understand it nerds too.\
2nd: Goals are as follows... do the work that I need to do so that I can get a passing grade, graduate and leave high school. Pretty good goal if you ask me but then again nobody really did.
Expectations things are only going to get harder and i guess in my case more uninteresting so i just have to make it a point to focus on it.
3rd: I have no constructive criticisms or suggestions besides I'm sure even if i did they'd be overlooked or disregarded there fore i have nothing.

Time of my life...
So this Assignment was due at the beginning of this month but here it is anyway.
Being that i don't remember how i spent my time in class on February 1st, ill simply explain how i spent my time in class today. Walked in and we had a Quiz on chapters 2-3 of "Brave New World". Then Preston Gave a lecture, Not particularly proud but after the initial points he made i kind of dozed off. So i missed about the last 6-7 min of the lecture. Not the best use of my time but i supposes it is what it is.
