Final

As the final days to the semester comes to a close, I have learned many things.  College is not as hard as what most people would assume.  On the other hand time management is the issue I see most that consumes people.  Over the semester I went from being laid off to working well over 60 hours a week.  From, having my daughter every other weekend to having her with me every day.  With all that said, I have found that the overwhelming events in my life caused me to slip in my school work.  I have tried and got better at my personal time skills.  Yes, I still have a lot to do to get better, and I shall as time goes on.  I can't complain tho, life deals you hands that you have to deal with and make the best work for you.  For all the new students coming to school in the spring.  Be prepared, not only for what lies ahead in the class room, but for the events yet seen in your life.  Make the best of your time and use your time to the best of your ability.  Cause in the end, its all about time and what you choose to do with it.

Today 10-7-2010

Working on homework tonight, trying to get caught back up.  Was thinking about watching the Dallas Cowboy game tonight on tv.  Have not seen a game all year long.  I guess that is  probably a good thing since they have only won one game all year.  Guess we as people aren't the only ones who have off years.  Tho they do make a whole lot more money than we do when we fail.  Other than that I should end this blog and get to writing my paper for class this week.

Bought my son a new xbox today.  His older one decided to just up and stop working.  I guess that tends to happen when the kids are turning it on and off all day long.  The new xbox's look to be made a whole lot better and are said to last a whole lot longer.  What better way to test that out then to let the children have at it.

So Far Behide 10-7-2010

   Do you ever have the feeling that you are so behind in just about everything going on in your life.  That it seems that no matter what you do, you can never ge ahead.  I know that I am doing the best that I can, but sometimes you have to wonder is that really your best.  Between work school, and taking care of kids, life seems to move a whole lot faster and at a pace that I cannot keep up with.

compare and/or contrast two restaurants

For your blog assignment this week, I want you to compare and/or contrast two restaurants you have visited.  You need to pick two points/criteria to make your comparison/contrast. Start with a thesis and then go directly to the comparison/contrast based on the points/criteria you choose.
Use a Venn Diagram, like the one below to help you brainstorm for this blog. 


I do not really go out to eat anywhere so I will give it a shot.  Fast food vs. home style resturaunt.  Fast food and home style places differ in  a lot of ways.  Normally the cost of the food is always cheaper in a fast food place, but the quality and the service is sometimes sub par.  Going to a home style place you seem to get better service and the food is always better.  The cost is normally a bit more but you pay for what you get.
