The school year is wrapping up and it's time to finish up classes. Creative writing class was nothing what I had expected but over all, I enjoyed the class. It was very different from any other class I have taken and I enjoyed the change. I learned A LOT about blogging and how to use the web to create my digital footprint.
My favourite assignment was definitely TBL project, I really enjoyed it because I had the opportunity to be creative and display my bucket list in whatever manner I wanted to. I had a lot of fun doing this assignment. My least favourite assignment was The Newspaper Blackout Poetry assingment because it was much more challenging than expected. I didn't hate it, because it was very different and fun but it was harder than any other assignment. I really enjoyed Friday reading because it was kind of like a break from the week of work. It was nice to just be able to sit there and read because sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to just read, and I love reading. The Monday Written Reflections were alright, not the most exciting but it was a good way to reflect on what we did in class and what we read. I found the WRN kind of annoying and usually I prefer doing work on paper, but for some reason in this class I enjoyed blogging things better. Blogging was very foreign to me, and I had no idea how to do it or even what to do, but after I got started with my blog I found that I actually liked it. It was an easy was to express myself. Twitter is a fun social network and I enjoyed tweeting because it was simple yet efficiant. Using technology in this course seemed really new to me because I hadn't used computers too often throughout my school years, or as much as I did in this class at least, but it was enjoyable using the web for a majority of my class. I learned that I have been more of an open reader because i'm less judgemental when it comes to choosing a book. I have learned new writing techniques which will definitely help me in my future, and I have opened my mind to new creative ideas. Over all the course was great and The Buried Life aspect of it was definitely the best. It was an educational yet amusing way to keep the class entertained! If I were to eliminate one thing it would probably be the WRN because it wasn't very exciting. I suggest this class to students who are looking to further their digital footprint and looking for something new.

Donating towards a good cause? - Personal Post 23
I always want to make a huge donation to multiple organizations and charities, but i'm never sure if the money I am donating is being received at the other end. How do I know that my hard earned money is actually going to needy orphans or the local pet shelter? I feel like that is the reason holding me back. I want to be giving, but not to any potential greedy people waiting for my cheque to arrive. Maybe if I want to give back I can do it more directly. I can help out at a soup kitchen or buy new shows for a homeless person. I guess charity isn't all about money, and I really want to start contributing and doing my part.
Sad at Seventeen - Personal Post 22
It seems like all my friends are 18 or are turning 18 shortly. I'm not 18 until December and I know i'm going to have to be the designated driver until then. I want to be able to go to the bar, rent hotel rooms, gamble and be labeled as an adult. I held on to my childhood for as long as I could but it's no fun when your friends have so many opportunities you don't have yet. When i'm 18 i'll be able to make my own decisions. Who knows, maybe when i'm 18 i'll only be wishing for my childhood back, but until then i'm so anxious until the day comes. Freedom!
T-Swift - Personal Post 21
Taylor Swift is one of my favourite singers. I find all of her songs catchy and relatable and she seems like she is such a good and nice person. Of course I don't know her personally, but the media still hasn't been able to scrape up something scandalous about her. I have bought every album she has released and haven't gotten sick of any of them. I went to her concert a couple years ago and it was really great. Her songs are the kind of songs you listen to in the car with your sunglasses on and your feet on the dashboard. It's not very safe, but anyway. I honestly love all of her songs and the fact that she is a decent person just makes me like her even more. She is absolutely beautiful!
My Grandma - Personal Post 20
If there is one person in my life that I could never be mad at, it would be my grandma Theresa. Honestly, she is the sweetest woman you would ever meet. Unlike a lot of teenagers, I spend a lot of time with her. We watch Dr. Phil together, bake, plays cards and nap. She won't admit it but I know i'm her favourite granddaughter. She's very honest with me when I ask her something and we always have fun together. I spoil her more at christmas and her birthday than my sisters do. How could she not love me the most? I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her wise words and guidance.
Dunder Mifflin- Personal Post 19
As stated in one of my earlier personal additions, I love the show The Office. My older sister got me watching it and I got hooked. I'm going to tell you my favourite characters in order and why I love them.
#1. Micheal Scott. He is my favourite character of them all. He is so hilarious because he likes to think he's such a giving and thoughtful person but he will do whatever it takes to make himself happy. He is oblivious to other people's sarcasm and pretty much every one of his lines makes me laugh.
#2. Dwight Schrute. Beats. Bears. Battlestar Galactica. Dwight is always so serious and ridiculous and it's impossible to not laugh at his cocky character. He's very independent and very funny.
#3. Andy Bernard. He's one of the newer characters but definitely one of my favourites. He is so silly and dorky, but he is very kind and sweet hearted. I love him!
#4. Kevin Malone. He is completely clueless and says whatever is on his mind. One of the funniest characters.
#5. Kelly Kapoor. She's a superficial East Indian girl who only cares about her own well being. Never a dull moment with Kelly.
#6. Erin Hannon. She's the new receptionist, and she's really quirky but her mood alters quickly, she's sweet and funny.
#7. Pam Halpert. I love Pam, who doesn't? She's got a bit of attitude when necessary but usually she's a really thoughtful person.
#8. Jim Halpert. When Pam and Jim weren't together it killed me. Jim is definitely the most sarcastic in the office and I enjoy his character.
#9. Angela Martin. If youlike posters of babies or cats, you'd probably be on her good side. She's really grumpy all the time but her sassiness makes me laugh.
#10. Phyllis Lapin-Vance. Phyllis like to act like she's coy and sweet but she's got an evil side to her. I love when she acts cocky, so funny.
#11. Stanley Hudson. He's even grumpier than Angela, but he get a funny line in sometimes.
#12. Toby Flenderson. It makes me sad that Micheal's so mean to Toby, and I think it's funny when Toby tries to stand up for himself.
#13. Meredith Palmer. She's an alcoholic, and she is quite promiscuous. She like to revel herself a lot..
#14. Oscar Martinez. He's gay and i'll never forget the scene Micheal kissed him. Oscar's probably one of the most knowledgable and sensible people of the office.
#15. Darryl Philbin. Darryl's character is a little confusing. He's very serious all the time.
#16. Creed Bratton. He's creepy and sketchy and his character is funny but weirds me out a little.
#17. Karen Fillipelli. Hated her ever since she started dating Jim.
#18. Gabe Lewis. His character's a bid annoying, but he does have the occasional funny line.
#19. Ryan Howard. I don't find Ryan very funny at all, which is ironic because he is one of the directors of the show.
