My son's newest trick + physics still sucks

I have been working on a new little trick for my son. My wife even concedes that I have actually taught him something useful. I'm sure that I have taught him other useful things but right now, their usefulness is up for debate. For instance, he is really good at smacking people with a stick. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I have finished a couple of my assignments for this week.

I still have a book report that I need to write. I haven't written a book report in decades so I'm not really sure where to start. I have read a sample book report given out by the instructor so I'll be jotting down some notes over the next couple of days to see what kind of ideas I can come up... Sign in to see full entry.

How about an entry about something other than college?

For those of you that know me, you know what the default setting in my head is when it comes to blogging. For those that don't know me, let me introduce you to my son. This is Trey and Tek on a little outing we took last month to the Sun Tunnels. Trey is the one making the funny face. Tek is the one... Sign in to see full entry.

My next assignment in English is to write an argument paper

We had to brainstorm several ideas and then pick one. I didn't end up picking one that I had done in the brainstorming session. I turned in the brainstorming paper so that it was turned in on time and done but in actuality, I was still thinking about what I really wanted to write. I don't have any...

It's my weekend and we all know what that means, yep, homework

I have tons of it to do in the next two days. I'll probably be doing homework most of the days for the next four days in reality but I'm going to press hard on my days off to see how much I can get done. I hate coming in near the deadline (usually Sundays) so I try to complete as much as possible by... Sign in to see full entry.

I have rewritten my essay

I have rewritten my essay to fit the style of the person grading it. The difficulty now is that the next person, the one that gets to put the final grade on the paper, is a completely different person. I'm not sure how this can in any way work out in my favor. How do you guess what the last grader... Sign in to see full entry.

I received my preliminary grading on my first essay

According to the grader, it was less than adequate. I think that the reason was that it did not closely conform to the assignment. From the comments, I think it was supposed be written in more of a cookie cutter essay format. Mine was so uncutterlike that I sat down last night and this morning and... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm still working hard on my classes but I need to devote time to Blogit

College is going. Not well, not necessarily poorly. Not as good as I would like but good enough. I am having a hard time with Physics which comes as a bit of a surprise to me. It's basic physics and I'm just not grasping the ideas. I was an accident reconstructionist when I was a cop which used... Sign in to see full entry.

An evil creature has taken complete control of my life

I need to download some pictures to show you guys, not of the evil creature but of a recent escape from the creature. I was actually able to get out of my prison briefly and spend some time with my family. My whole family. My son and I spend plenty of time together. In fact, he's sitting on my lap...
