Long day yesterday.

yepp...yesterday was a long day.  I had to take Tonya to the emergency room at like 6 am.  She was getting ready for work noticed some blood.  of course, being pregnant, thats always something to worry about.  Me, her, and Matt were at the ER for 7 1/2 hours. As soon as we got home i had to head to work but my kids behaved pretty good so work went well. Also the baby is fine so that makes everything good also.  Turns out Tonya is less preggo than we thought.  She is only 5 1/2 weeks.  Well, that was my day yesterday. 

What to expect from my blog...

Well, we are supposed to blog at least twice a week so I guess I'll start now. I'm probably going make my blog a little confusing. Somedays I may write about what I did or what i am planning to do. Other days i may just express some beliefs and views or whatever else. It just depends on what comes to mind at the time i decide to post. I hope that will be okay. Aiken said we could do whatever we wanted to do with the blog so it shouldnt be a problem.

This was just a post to clearify what I'm going to do with my blog. I'll make a real post soon. Maybe tomorrow.

Description of Someone Special

With jet black hair and blue eyes, he stands tall. His messy hair touches his ears and covers his brows. His eyes appear like shattered glass, with various shades of blue and grey. His mouth is thin. The left edge tilts up as he grins a crooked grin. He appears to be a young man, just out of adolescence. He towers over me wearing a thick work shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His light denim pants have a wide tattered rip in the leg through which I can see a nasty sore from what I assume was a fall. His hands are rough and callused though not as much as a man who had been working for too many years.

Expectations

In my English 1101 class i know that I will be required to do alot of reading and writing. During the time i will be spending reading and writing in the class I would like to possibly learn more about myself through my writing. I do believe that writing is an expression of who you are so hopefully i will achieve that goal. By writing personal opionions onto paper I hope to get the chance to dig deeper into myself to discover views and values that i didnt even know i had and learn about other's views as well.

Also, I love you write in general but i have found that im not very good when it comes to transition and vocabulary in my essays. I hope to learn to write essays with a wider vocabulary and have smoother transitions between topics.

Then there is the obvious...I just want to pass the class so I can move on in my core classes. Preferably with an 'A' since that would help my 'GPA'.
