Day 4

I am going to give you one guess as to what I am doing. That's right, I am doing homework.

Since starting at Lyon College in August, I think this is all my life has come to mean. I have a paper of some sort due every day this week. There are actually two due on Thursday. I just have to keep reminding myself that the disciplined lifestyle I have entered into will make me a better teacher when I graduate.

One of the papers due Thursday is entitled "137th Psalm" and focuses on who we are and where we come from. It ought to prove interesting to learn where my different sides came from and what lead to me being born and raised in Charlotte, Arkansas.

I am, of course, writing an analysis over a story I have read. I have to turn one in every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The story we are supposed to have finished by tomorrow is Age of Innocence, which I am not completely finished with.

Finishing it with enough knowledge to write a one page analysis may prove interesting. But, as I hope to prove, life in Charlotte can be interesting.

Have a great Tuesday and Wednesday.

Later.

Day 3

Hey everyone.

I am doing homework, but I need a break.

I had the most wonderful experience this morning. I attended New Testament Holiness Church in Batesville this morning. I am enrolled in Education and Culture and our assignment was to go somewhere we would be the "other." Three friends and I went to this "black church" and we had a great time. We were welcomed in with open arms and hugs from everyone.

I am, of course, still writing my paper on Chaucer. I am thankful that this paper is just focusin on his use of sex and seduction. The paper that I will have to write for Dr. Tebbetts' Advanced Comp class will have to explore Chaucer himself and why he used sex so much.

I am going to have to get the paper done, though. I am supposed to go haul hay at 2:30 and that is only about 35 minutes away from now.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday and week.

Later.

Day 2

I know that there was a day in between Day 1 and Day 2.

I am at work.

I did my first observation today. I went to Cave City Middle School and observed 7th Grade Language Arts and 8th Grade Social Studies. My mentor teacher is just plain awesome.

I am actually pretty much caught up with homework. I wrote a paper on "Mr. Flood's Party" this morning. It was an interesting poem. I can't recall the poets name at this moment however. I read a Robert Frost poem yesterday and made my outline to write that paper.

I need to work on a paper over The Cantebury Tales by Chaucer. I have a round table meeting over it tomorrow and the final draft is due on Monday. Yikes. Deadlines are looming closer.

I need to be working on my next memoir but I have no idea what I am going to write about.

Hope everyone is great.

Later.

Day 1

Today is my first day to write on my blog. I am actually at work as I write this. I work for a Youth Ranch as a tutor. I love my job. I also work at Charlie's Men's Wear. I am a Junior at Lyon College. My major is English and I am concentrating on Middle Level Education. I am a Christian. I attend Swifton First Assembly of God. I am a HOLY-ROLLER, and I love it. I try to embrace God in every aspect of my life. This blog will be used to talk to myself and anyone that decides to read. I will talk about school and work. I will talk about family, friends and my beliefs. I will probably talk about my horses a lot. I live on a farm and it is great. Nothing is off-limits. If someone takes over my body, I may even talk about politics, which I know nothing about. I hope everyone has a great day. God Bless.
