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....

I never had a problem with writing, yeah I procrastinate who doesn't? But once I had an intro I'm all set, I could just keep writing and writing. Narratives are probably one of the easiest pieces of papers to write. There's no right or wrong way, you simply write about you, and no one knows you better than you. Narratives are my favorite, I can usually come up with a story right away that fits the prompt. However, this narrative has me completely stuck. It's just very intimating to me. I think it's the question that's intimating to me, "why did you decide to go into Law Enforcement?" It's a question that I know the answer to because of past experience but I just can't get the right wording out of me. I'm a double major in two completely different subjects, yet they both aim to help the lives of people. For Law Enforcement it's to promote the common good. For Science and Exercise Movement it's for the health of the people. I am born ...

I think everyone can agree with me that group projects are not really their cup of tea. In grade school it was a fun way to work with your classmates/best-friends that you have known since pre-k. In high-school it was a good easy project, yet your older and it can still get annoying because a lot of students are lazy. However, in college I don't really prefer it because I enjoy doing assignments on my schedule and that's usually right away. I like starting on my assignments as soon as my classes for the day are over, just because I like getting everything out the way. It saves me a lot of stress and worrying. However... I don't really mind this project because it's a nice break from your typical 3-5 page paper. I sometimes forget that there are other ways to present a paper other than just typing it out. The topic of this paper was a bit confusing for me just because I feel like I should be giving more information but at the same time it seems like I am covering everyth...

Hoping everyone is just as excited for this day off! I just woke up an hour ago and it has already been the perfect start! Im catching up on a bit homework so I don't leave everything till the last minute but we'll see how much I get done.. Today is defiantly looking like a sledding day😊  The only downfall to all this snow is driving! I'm stuck on campus and desperately want food! Also, buy some extra sleds. It was a pretty stressful week with multiple papers due for multiple classes, multiple quizzes, and multiple exams that are being pushed off too next week! I was so excited to get pass all these tests but I have a feeling everything is going to be due the same day next week😩  I love having an extra day off just as much as the next person but I desperately want/need summer! We just started this semester and I'm more stressed than all my last 3 semesters put together.. I would say history stresses me out the most! I absolutely hate history because I am so bad at it,...
