happy halloween!!!!

right now i am sitting awkwardly alone in my uncles office at work at UIC… because he is taking me to the train station so i can go down to ISU this weekend for halloween… so there goes a 2.5 hour train ride.. and i lost or forgot my tickets already so had to re print them! i ordered my halloween costumes online and they haven't came in yet.. they're suppose to be at my boyfriends dorm by 5pm so I'm hoping for the best & can't wait to have fun this weekend!!! happy halloween!!

classs 10/27

unfortunately i was not in class yesterday because i literally have been sick for a month and i am not getting better! but i did talk to a student about what our homework was, so i will comment about that! i thought the conspiracy articles were very interesting, but crazy. i think it is also so weird how the "believers" actually make sense and "valid"  examples and points to back up their beliefs and topics they are speaking about. I think it is crazy because, honestly if you keep preaching about your topic, and talking about it, it honestly is true to you. I don't believe them but I do find them interesting and get a little laugh out of some of the theories out there!

blog posts: 21st & 24th

Last week has been a rough week, so here's a LONNNNG post making up for the two I missed. In class on Monday, Oct20th, I liked how we got all our papers back and got to schedule an appointment. I thought the appointment I had really helped me more understand what I needed to improve on for my papers. I got feedback and advice how to make my paper stronger and actually make more sense lol. As for why my past week has been so rough it's because when i went to see the chainsmokers on October 17th, i lost my phone, my ID and my school ID. they haven't found my phone yet, so i am clearly never giving that back. i never really knew how dependent i was on my phone until i didn't have it! i didnt even have a watch so its been pretty rough getting to my class lol & i didnt have an alarm clock..... i am currently now using an old ass phone... lets just say its not even touch screen. this past weekend was very fun, my friends and boyfriend came from Illinois to come visit me! the homecoming weekend was more than i could ask for, it wad amazing! the only problem is that i was sick... i have been sick for about or a little over a month now.. i hope im better for Halloween weekend! i am going down to Illinois state & im pretty excited to see all my friends who go there & to finally see my boyfriends dorm room & meet his roommates (prolly end up cleaning his room also). I guess i just need to take my vitamins & relax!

monday's class

I liked monday's class because we got to swap papers and get feedback on what other people thought the theme of our movie was. This was interesting to see what their idea of the theme was and how it related to the theme I wrote about. I think it would be cool if we did this with our songs. We would be able to see how other people interpret different things, and it'd be fun to see all the different varieties of music!

Monday's class...

In class on Monday, I liked how it was a short class! lol I didn't get stuck in the horrible, crazy rain storm. I think the recent assignments we have been doing in class have been very fun and interesting. I like finding the theme of a certain song, story or movie. I feel that it gives that specific movie or song we are listening to a new meaning. The song I picked to write about the theme of was, "Enjoy the Ride" by Krewella. I have always loved Krewella and i'm glad i chose this song to actually really look into!
