Tater Tot ~ Writing in the Disciplines

Blubaugh's short film reveals productive thoughts about the nature of memory by bringing in the concept of fear. The short film talks about Andy's fear and how it affected his memory. Andy has had rituals that he has done since he was little such as; aligning his feet with the floor board, and rearranging the magazines so they don't touch the end of the coffee tables since he was about seven years old. Andy had said that he knew doing these little things wasn't going to make him any safer but at least he was doing something that made him feel better. Andy was violently jumped and attacked by five individuals. Andy was so scared he decided to give them his wallet and bag so that they would leave him alone. Andy was left extremely traumatized. As a result, Andy had to pick and choose what he would be afraid. Every time Andy saw a African American man and he is not feeling right about it, he would remove himself from the situation, such as crossing the street and getting ...

Well we finally finished our narrative and though it was a struggle to get done, I think it was an important topic. I never had to write on why I chose to go into law enforcement, this was the very first time, and as a classmate had said yesterday in class, if I was ever asked that question during an interview I would be looking stupid just sitting there struggling to come up with an answer. I'm not very good with coming up with answers out of the blue, which is definitely a weakness I wish I did not have. But, I also think it's cool that we're gunna be working from a textbook for awhile now, it's a nice switch from paper after paper; I also feel like my brain cannot produce anymore papers lol. Im convinced my brain is fried. I also heard we are gunna be doing some mock trials and I don't know how I feel about that lol; I never been a fan. We had mock trials in high-school and it would be cool to watch or hear about it but I never thought about giving it a try, but ...

A recap of spring break in one word is horrific. Taking out your wisdom teeth is torture and I recommend to just keep yours in and deal with it. I had mine taken out on Monday and it is now Saturday and I still can't eat properly. I had about the worst break ever, doing nothing but laying in bed, sleeping, and eating pudding from Monday through Friday. Monday was the absolute worst day by far, once my mouth was not numb anymore the pain was unexplainable. My medicine wasn't ready for over 2 hours so within that time I was a baby I will admit it. I mean it was nice having my mom baby me but I will never want to relive this moment again. I couldn't even do much of my homework because I was way too weak to concentrate, which was a huge bummer because I planned on getting way more work done then I did. Friday came and I finally decided to try to eat real food and get out of the house. Boy, was it a mistake. Eating could be done but only very very slowly and carefully. I lost a ...

Hang on in there...one more day! I cannot wait to do absolutely nothing. I don't remember the last time I had a weekend with absolute no work. The only downside is that my teeth hurt way too much! I'm trying to push this surgery sooner than Monday. More and more people are telling me stories about their experience getting their wisdom teeth out and I'm kinda freaked out. I just don't know how bad I'm going to take the pain. However, this weekend looks like complete sunshine and over 50 degrees, I'm excited to use my new camera and go around the city taking pictures. I'm catching up with all my work and I will soon be stress free for a bit! My narrative is coming along, once I actually sat down and really thought about the purpose and what drove me towards law enforcement in the first place, it was smooth sailing from there. I'm working on adding dialogue to make it more story-like. This was actually so much more difficult for me then a regular narrative....
