My essay is progressing really well. I think I appreciate my teacher even more than I did before. I need to add some more vivid details to paint a better picture of her, but other then that it is pretty good. I was looking in at what is coming up on the syllabus and im pretty excited to do the restaurant review! It is something that I've never done before!

Song List

1. Tetris: because my neighborhood is very diverse
2. The Killers,When you were young : because there is a huge park across the street from my house and it reminds me of when i was younger
3. What a Wonderful World: because I love my neighborhood
4. Top Back: because there is a lot of loud music coming from the teenagers' cars when they drive up and down the streets
5. All will be well: because everyone has a positive attitude

I'm planning on doing my next essay on the assistant principal at my high school. I have known her since 10th grade and she has made an impact on my life. I actually had her for a teacher durning my sophmore year. She taught asl (american sign language). I think that teachers are so important to the community. They are the people who mold the kids at a very crucial time in their life.
I' m thinking i can write about her schooling, other jobs, specific things about sign language, how she impacted me, and life as a principal.

Raaaaaaap

I think the music in my community is a blend of all sorts. I think it is mainly split up between two genres..rap/hiphop...and punk/emo/rock. I personally prefer rap. I like it because you can dance amd sing along to it and it just pumps you up. Rock is just depressing and dark. That's no fun. I feel like you can't tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Sometimes it even effects the way they dress. I think people are searching for a certain identity and they are going to do whatever they need to in order to find it. Each type of music has a stereotpye of how the people should dress. For the most part this stereotype is proven true. I think the best place to find these examples are in high schools. If you walk down the hallway and just just watch the kids to see how they act and what they are wearing I am almost positive you can figure out what kind of music they listen too.

Not The False Starts, Not The Stalling

I picture more of a late fall in this poem. The sky is very grey, the time is probably around 4pm. The sun is nowhere to be found. There are a few leaves scurrying about that have escaped bring racked up. You can tell that the snow will be here soon. Then it beings. Just a couple flakes here and there. The snow is very suddle and doesnt change time at all. Then when the snow does pick up, all becomes still. There is no noise, just Falling. The falling makes everything calm. Almost like a blanket of peace is tossed on the town. The sky then becomes dark.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Cold weather really puts a damper on fashion. it doesn't motivate you to get up in the morning to get ready. Why would anyone want to leave their warm bed? I'm getting sick of wearing hoodies and my big puffy coat. Coats are so annoying and you have to carry them around. Like if you're going to the mall, what do you do with your coat? You hold it and sweat everywhere because you are shopping hardcore. Winter outfits start to get old. I miss my flip flops and strappy sandals. I love painted toes and dont you worry, mine are painted now! Bright PINK! Being pale is no fun either. TAN IS FUN!!!!

JUST DO YOUR JOB!

Sooo I work at here at school as a teacher's assistant. I'm not suppose to say for who or where for sake of confidentiality lol. Okay so I get paid biweekly on fridays. Over break I didnt work much so the cash flow was running dry and the pay weeks were different because of the holidays. The first friday(1-5-07) of the new semester was pay day...and i got paid...imagine that, but keep in mind this was no lump sum since i didnt work over break. The next pay day was friday the 19th...i DID NOT receive a paycheck. I had turned my time sheet it along with the girl's that i work with and she DID get paid. So over the weekend I went to ann arbor's site ( that's who pays me) to look @ my paycheck...come to find out i didnt get paid.... >:0

I called HR @ ann arbor yesterday and they said there was no record of the hours i worked durning that pay period! What the heck! Just so everyone can sleep easy tonight I talked to the payroll in my department today and I'm going to add the missing hours onto my next check. So it all works out.


Okay I'm not going to lie.... it sucked no being able to go shopping or tanning the past couple weeks but i survived. My dad also gave me some money for lunch so everything was okay. My BEEF is what is i lived on my own and I had actual bills to pay?!?! People really need to pay attention to the tasks of their job, especially when you are paying people the money they worked for. I know everyone is human and that the lady in payroll could have been having a bad day, but i COULD HAVE been evicted from my apartment or something drastic like that.(if i had one lol)

Come on people ...JUST DO YOUR JOB!
