EVENT

I totally forgot to post about my second out of class experience. So, every second Friday night of each month Old Towne Petersburg holds something called "Friday Night For the Arts".  I used to go with my parents when I was younger, but I actually just went last month. It's so awesome to see the corner of the city come alive with all sorts of talented people, from painters to musicians it's all there.  They just play their music and sometimes people give them money. And there's a little art exhibition down there displaying art from local artists which I think is pretty cool.  Its neat that they're getting their stuff out there like that. I'm sure they all really appreciate the people coming just to see their work. My family and I really enjoy it. We'll probably go again next Friday!

Portfolio

I really wish I could have gotten really into blogging this semester. Maybe I will one day.  I don't plan on deleting it or anything.  But anyways, I thought that this whole portfolio thing was going to be so much harder to finish.  I think I'm finally done though.  I really appreciate Sweeny's contract grading option for this class. It was nice to know that if you tried your best and completed everything that a teacher was actually appreciating the effort of their students, instead of grading them numerically on writing; which is a very opinionated thing to put a grade on.  I also liked the interaction aspect of the class.  There's nothing like Sweenglish!

Thanks everyone for a great semester!

Hey! Another thing!

I still don't know what to write about for this race/ethnicity paper.  A comment with any ideas would help!! Thanks anyone :)

Peace&Love

Weekend.

This weekend, I successfully beat the high score on Fruit Ninja with the fam.  I also attended the worst church service of my life.  We all about near fell asleep.  The Eagles beat the Packers, I have mixed feelings about that.  Other than that, my weekend has been very relaxed and full of family...to the max. Later guys.

Ruh roh,

I feel like I'm a little behind on these blogs. So I'm gonna post another one while I'm sitting in class. Well today I was extremely late to class because I thought today was Saturday....anyways I also kinda missed out on my grammar schmammar group, who I actually didn't even think would be here. I thought it was just going to be me and one other person. I'm kinda mad that I drove out here just for 30 minutes. It's whatever. Bloggy, bloggy, bloggy. Happy late Halloween ! 

Science museum

I took my little either and my sister to the science museum in richmond. I like the museum because they have all kinds of activities and you can interact with everything. While we were there we saw an IMAX movie. We only had a few choices, so we picked the one about the Grand Canyon. It was CRAZY. It was like we were really in the canyon. I tried to take a picture, even though they for even want you to have your phone out, but my flash went off!!! I felt like a dumbass. Anyways, I definitely recommend this museum to anyone who wants to waste the day away and be entertained.

Eagles fan in the building. 🏉

This is an excited eagles fan. What's weird is were in New York....in a house full of giants....

New York , New York

Went to Times Square last night , had a blast. I loved the spray paint art guy. I took a picture with a naked lady; she was goin all out for breast cancer awareness month. I had lunch at White Castle , and I must say it was quite enjoyable. Now I'm watching the eagles/giants game & the last thing to do is get my man and my puppy some souvenirs. 😘

Gram schmam

Oh shout out to the group that presented today. I really enjoyed the semicolon and colon review. Jeopardy was a nice touch! Thanks for the candy!

NY

So I'm on a bus to New York right now. It's 1:17 AM. I think we should be there by seven ...in the morning. I want to go to sleep but all I can hear right now is an unrecognizable oriental language. Don't they know it's night time, like sleeping time ? Well I'm sure I'll have things to blog about , so if anyone reads this post; be sure to check back on the status of my weekend get away via the china bus . PEACE.

Brooklyn

I think next week I will be going to New York.  I love New York.  I haven't been in a few years.  I am going with my friends Jade and Brittany to see Jade's mom and sister.  I'm pretty sure I will be taking advantage of this opportunity for a weekend get away.  Well, I'll be missing everyone in class Friday and  Monday next week!
I really don't like peer editing.  I don't feel like it is effective.  Some people don't take criticism very well.  But I think we have a very supportive class.  Keep up the good work everyone ! :)

Crime/Punishment


     I have changed my topic for this crime and punishment paper a good five times.  I think I have settled on immigration.  I actually have people in my family fighting for immigration laws to be changed and things like that.  Honestly, I don't really understand it all.  I'm not very good at all the government stuff.
     The reason ended up choosing it though, is because it was the topic that I could get the farthest with.  I was very confused on how the essay we are supposed to be completing was going to be argumentative, persuasive, AND a research paper.  Until I realized that in order to argue something, you should probably research what you are arguing to have facts to back yourself up.  On top of that to have a successful argument you should probably be somewhat persuasive.  So I guess they all go hand in hand.

Everyone else already has multiple posts..so I'm back again.  Except I forgot what I was going to post about.  I'll probably try this again after the Packers are done whooping some 49er ass.


     So, I'm a little late on posting.  I forgot my password and then sent the forgot password thing to the wrong email address. Anyways, I'm Chelsey and I hope sometime in this semester I get the hang of this blog thing.  If I say things that you don't agree with on your blog, especially if they're totally out of the water, it's probably because I don't even agree with what I write on your blog.  I more than likely just commented on whatever you wrote because I have to for my wonderful English class.   Oh, and let me just mention before I go that I'm not too thrilled about having to write fifteen hundred word papers...three of them.
