THE END

Overall creative writing was a really cool class! professor potvin made it very interesting and the class went with a goo0d flow. He graded papers very fairly and he was very helpful. I really enjoyed the fact that we had rubrics but we were still able to write about what ever pleased us. I really enjoyed this class the most this semester because it was different, you were free to talk/write about the topics that interested you not the tiopics that teachers pick. Now that the semesters about to end I plan on going to school full time in the spring and hopefully going to New York in July!!!

Ira relations to nemesis

Ira saying can relate to my nemesis because he stated that you need to get rid of boring parts and Im thinking my beggining is boring it needs to either have a little more spice or just be completely cut out. He also talks about luck and in my nemesis paper luck plays a role toward our friends life!

Radio Show Response

The man discussed several different things on his show most of these are not only important for radio spokesman but they also can deal with every day life. for an example, he stated that "sometimes people tell themselves it's crappuy and then they just quit." I know a lot of people who have gone through this. Sure there are tough times in life and sometimes certain situations can be very painf ul but what you need to remeber is to always keep your head up. You may fail and fail but at least try. it's better to give things a chance then never knowing what could have happened. the man also talked about how failing is a big part of successl. I believe this is true because nobody's perfect you may not always get as far as you want but you must keep trying and soon enough you will become successful!!!

Open Mic Night

WOW!!! I was very impressed with all of the performances. I didnt expect to see students singing and playing instruments. I'm glad we had a variety different performances. I want to applaud everyone and ecspecially those two who sang and played instruments. I was fairly impressed with these two performances. I thought open mic night was a good idea and we should do it maybe once a month because it was a great way of getting everyone together, and I can gurantee everyone enjoyed themselves.

The Book

My final thoughts on Killing yourself to live:
If I was talking to Chuck I would tell him to cut out some of the songs he is talking about. I think the reason to why I wasnt so crazy about this book was the fact that I really didnt know much of the songs he mentioned. So when he's going on and on about Led Zeplin and Kiss and etc.. I was rather lost/bored. The Beetles was really the only band I was familiar with. There were some things I found interesting/true."we alway ar gue about bullshit that doesnt mateer" been there sometimes you do get into it for the smallest things and even though it bothers you, you realize it's just not worth the argument. It was easy to relate to him when he said he was five pretending to be scared of the dark. I babysat these two kids and the little girl would always act scared so that she could stay up and see her mom when she came home from work.
Overall this book was ok to me i would give it a 6.5/10. However I would reccomend that you familiarize yourself with these songs before yo read this book

85% of a true story..my thoughts!!

When I first started reading this book it was different. I liked the fact that Chuck was always very blunt about what he was saying, but some of the things didnt seem realistic. For example who jumps in a strangers car and smokes crack?? Over all I wasnt really into this book. It was probably because he went on and on about these rock bands that I am really unfamiliar with. He also spent way tooo much time talking about kiss. All he had to say was that they sold the most albums at once instead of talking about them for 3 to 4 pages. It also didnt seem very realistic that you actually pay a speeding ticket right on the spot in Montanna. I did like the way he described being 3 1/2 inches away from Washington. most peopl say miles or hours away but he chose inches that was different but clever! The conversation with one of the girls who was partying in the hotel seemed ridiculous. Chuck went on and on about how he doesnt care if their loud in reality I think the girl would have walked away a minute into it and thought he was some creep. In the end I did like the fact that he was going to write a book.
"there are certain people you love who do something else, they define what love is supposed to feel like" I liked his thoughts on love because I believe this is true. After your with someone and you move on sometimes you tend to think about all the good times/things you had with that person and then you go and compare them to the person you are currently with.

THE LATEST

Last week was my birthday on the sixth, I finally turned the big 21! I bought a new alphat and shoes and all my friends got together and we went to a bar downtown. This past week was pretty busy for me. I have been trying to catch up on all my homework, its hard because I have a lot to do and after work I usually feel tired so its even harder to stay up. I spent the majority of the day writing up flash cards so that I could study for my linguistics test , after this class Im going to the library to do math homework!
