the blackout zone

there is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to men. it is a dimension as heavy as led and as light as feathers. it is the wobbly ground between solid and stable, between falling and flying, and it lies between the bottom of one fifty one, and the liver of his/her imagination. this is the dimension of spirits. it is an area which we call.................THE BLACKOUT ZONE.

something about something on class

my mind is some where else and i am finding it very hard to concentrate on the homework at hand. it is so hard to concentrate on something that doesn't mean anything to you. i find myself replaying family guy episodes in my head instead of actually remembering the material i am supposed to be reading. i will start to read the article/story and by the time i have gotten to the bottom of the page i have no idea what i have read. it might be A.D.D it might be something else. 

i read both of the articles, "What is an academic paper" and "How to write consistently boring literature" and i can honestly say i have no idea what they are about except that when you write an academic paper it is for academic peers to read and it should be read by the academic community and discussed. the audience is for people in the academic field. 

1) hillary Clinton was very funny and witty on her response. 
2) it is a comical reaction.

analysis paragraph

some key features for an analysis paper would be to find background information on the topic. who created it and why? what is it about? and how did you interpret it? the purpose of the topic.

class structure

  • i feel that it is helping me in my research and amount of content i put into my assignments. i get to work on my own time schedule and on my own pace. i dont feel rushed and i enjoy the freedom.
  • yes, i believe it is a benefit because i like to see what people think about my ideas. i dont mind anybody making comments on my submissions.
  • i am starting to understand it more now then i did before.
  • i highly recommend this structure over the regular structure. i feel that meeting one time a week for class is more than enough. i personaly do not enjoy english class nor do i enjoy writting so much. i realize it is a requierment for school and i must take it in order to pursue my goals but other than that i would never have taken this course. although i do enjoy reading.
