My most memorable house moves.

Since I was born in 1991, my family has only moved twice. The first time was when I was 2 years old where we moved from Cross Creek in Spring Valley to Woodley Park. I do not remember this move at all because I was only 2 years old, but I knew the new house in Woodley Park very well. When we moved to Woodley Park, as an elementary school student, I loved everything about the new neighborhood. I had the best neighbors ever and I attended Peter Crump Elementary where I went there from K-6th grade. My teachers were the best! Ms. Britton, my 1st grade teacher, was my favorite teacher of all time and to this day she still is. I also attended other schools while I lived in Woodley Park: McKee Jr. High, Baldwin Arts and Academics Middle Magnet, and Jefferson Davis High School.

In the middle of my Senior year in high school we decided to put our house on the market to be sold, and 3 months later our house was SOLD!!!!!!! I was so happy because not only would we be moving to a nice neighborhood, but this would be my first "memorable" move. Moving day was approaching and my family and I became so stressed. The saying "you do not know all the stuff you have until you move" is true. As soon as we started packing it seemed as if it would never end. We had a lot of stuff that we sold in our yard sale which took some of the things we really did not need off of our hands.

Our new neighborhood is in Lochshire located in Pike Road, Alabama. I love it out there. It is a well kept place to reside in, and out there our house is located in a cul de sac and the nearest neighbor is not close to us but a house width away. We have been in the new house for 2 1/2 months now and I am still getting adjusted because I'm not used to all this quietness.

Psychology Test 2 (update)

Tuesday I will be taking my 2nd Psychology test and I hope that I make a good grade like I did the first time. When we received the study guide for this chapters 5-8 I thought to myself that this would be a breeze until I started finding the answers to my questions. Even though it is a lot to study, I am convinced that I will pull it off by Tuesday, and make that good grade on my test. I will update once I receive my grade.

Once I walked in the class we all were wondering what we made on the test, but unfortunately we had to wait until the end of the class. When it was almost time for the class to start winding down she started calling us up one by one to show us our grades. I was the last name that she called, and I became worried. After looking at my scantron I realized I did well, better than I did the first time. I was so happy! I really love Psychology and my professor Dr. G. I hope when I take developmental psychology next semester my professor make it fun just like Dr. G does. 


Appositives:
    Occasionally, one of the workers, usually a tall person, or perhaps a good looking male, might help get something down for me from the top shelf in the store.

    Perhaps if he sees me at the mall, a nice and pretty girl, loves to shop, very friendly, he wil love me at these great heights....

Discourse Communities

Whether we realize it or not each of us belong to different discourse communities. In our everday language, if we are speaking a certain way with family members & friends to simple things such as acronyms and video games we are being involved in a discourse community. Discourse Communities are very helpful, they allow you to know the topic of conversation that you and another person or group of people share. My personal favorite discourse communities are acronyms, emoticons, and sports.

      When you are apart of the acronym community you have to not only know how to use acronyms correctly, but you also have to know exactly what they mean and be able to distinguish between acronyms that look and sound alike. When texting with your peers or people in general, acronyms such as TTYL, CUL8R, OMG, & ILY allow you and the person you are talking to understand that you are telling them (Talk to You Later, See You Later, Oh My God, & I Love You). That is what makes this dc so unique. A whole text message could be typed using all acronyms and if you are not apart of that dc you may seem lost especially if other people are sharing in that conversation. 

      The next dc is the emoticon community. This community also deals with texting, and is similar to the acronym community except in this community you use symbols. This is also another unique dc because a simple smile through a text such as - :) - can easily make someone's day or let you know how they feel. This is also one of my favorites because in this community you become very informed. You might ask someone how they are feeling, and if they are feeling well they might reply with a smile - :), if they are feelin ok, but not too well they might reply with a straight-face- :/, and if they are terrible or not feeling well at all they will reply with a sad face - :( -. That is a reason why these emoticons are helpful, because if a person constantly text and put a smiley face then they may be happy or if they put a sad face then they may be sad.

       The last dc I belong to is the sports community. I absolutely love sports. In this dc you would normally find alot of guys apart of it, but there are some women who can be apart of this dc now. This community requires alot of knowledge probably more knowledge than the other dc's. When you are apart of this dc you know that when a team is playing football there are 11 men on the field at a time. You are also able to know that when a team gets a touchdown they receive 6 points and if they kick a field goal they receive 3 points. These are just the basics. If you really want to consider yourself apart of this dc then you must know past the basics such as who is the best team, the best player in the league(by name), the positions on the team (i.e. quarterback, center, runningback), what is a 2-pt conversion as well as a safety, an off-side kick, and a touch back. That seems like alot to learn, but its very good knowledge if you plan to be apart of this dc.

      As I mentioned earlier dc's are very helpful and each of us whether we know it belong to many different discourse communities whether it is family wise, religious wise, or even a certain job it may be hard to follow this if you are not apart of that community, or you may be apart of the same community as I am which is the acronym community, the emoticon community, or the sports community.

Ahhhh!!!

If you look at the title of this blog the first thing that might come to your mind is that I will be blogging about something that I fear. Well you are correct. I will blog about what scares me the most, and that is bugs! I really hate bugs. Ever since I was little I have never been fond of bugs, especially roaches because they are so creepy looking. Recently some friends and I went out to eat at a local restaurant after a movie, and we normally go to this place a lot. This particular time we were in the restaurant getting our food, and out of nowhere my boyfriend spotted the hugest roach I have ever seen crawling up the wall behind us. My cousin then let out a loud scream, and we all jumped up very quickly and moved to another table because we were all freaked out. The manager of the restaurant then gave us a discount, but it still did not help with my fear of bugs!

Profile Paper

In English Composition 1010 class, our next goal on paper 3 is to find a person in the profession that we would like to be in and get interesting information on that field. Once I finish my 4 years in college I would like to become a Registered Nurse. This has been my dream for many years, because I love to help sick people and to assure them that while they are in my care, that I will treat them with great love and respect. My senior year in high school I was able to do clinical at Baptist Medical Center South which really made me stick to my decision. While in clinical I was able to work in different departments such as: pediatrics, new born nursery, neonatal intensive care unit, postpartum, cardiovascular intensive care unit, medical intensive care unit, Radiology,and sleep lab. Once I completed this I was 100% sure that this is what I would like to be doing within the next 4 to 5 years.

The person I am going to choose to do a profile on is Shirley Carrington or Patricia Gordon. They both are Registered Nurses. Mrs. Gordon works at Jackson Hospital and has been there for many years, but Mrs. Carrington recently became an RN and is working in Selma, Al.

Is football becoming a dangerous sport?

This topic is staring to become a big issue now for many. Just this past weekend in Pro football a lineman was tackled so hard by a member on the other team that he was left on the ground without movement. When the "injury team", as I call the people who assist those who seem to be hurt or injured on the field, came out it was apparent that the player may not be getting up easily as others may have. He in fact suffered a serious injury. He did not die but as of now he is paralyzed from the neck down, and had to have immediate surgery on his arrival to the hospital. It is unsure if he is paralyzed permanently or temporary.

When asked to call in and voice your opinion on the question mentioned earlier, a lot of callers said YES! They also felt like something should be done to these one's who intentionally use helmet-to-helmet contact in order to take down the opponent. The suggestion also went as far as to have the players suspended if they seem to still try to play rough on the field.

HLN (head line news)

Why is there so much killing? When will it all end? I was watching Head Line News today and a story came on talking about how an off-duty police officer, who was celebrating his birthday this past weekend,was killed..,Guess what it was over? A PARKING SPACE. Yes, sounds very weird but the suspect became mad and threw a piece of concrete at the police officer's head where he was later rushed to the hospital and was pronounced dead. The suspect is now in jail, where he belongs, but is on bond which I honestly think he does not deserve since he took someones life.

Another story that came up on the TV was about how this lady's ex husband came to her work place at T-mobile and had a bottle filled with gasoline. He then proceeded to douse the gasoline on the woman, and then sat her on fire. The video they showed was very disturbing because you can see the woman in flames running trying to find water to ease the flames. As a result 2/3's of her body was severely burned, and she has had to go under a lot of surgeries and still has more surgeries that's needed. The bad thing about the whole situation is that just 2 weeks prior to the incident the lady was in front of a judge asking that he refrain her ex husband from coming anywhere near her. As a result the judge overturned her wishes, and therefore her ex husband was able to come around her and this was the result.

My opinion: I honestly think that the judge should feel extremely terrible, because if he had listened to the woman, then maybe she would be living a normal life today without burn scars. I can say no matter what the lady went through she still managed to keep a smile on her face!

Twitter

Friday was the first day I became a member of the 2nd widely known website called Twitter. Ever since I became a member of twitter I have not been able to get off. I use to be addicted to facebook, but now I hardly ever get on like I do twitter. I can think back to a couple of months ago and I said I would never get a twitter page because of the effect facebook had on me, but what do you know? My cousin persuaded me to get one and now I really enjoy it. Twitter and Facebook are somewhat similar and different at the same time. On Facebook you can update your status invite new friends, share pictures etc. On twitter you can do something we call "tweet" it's somewhat similar to a status updated except for you can tweet anytime you want. Another unique feature about twitter is that you can follow people. When you follow someone, their tweets and profile is availablw for you to see and you can know all of the updates by what they tweet about. This feature is so cool! You can even follow celebrities, and talk to them. If you are lucky enough they may follow you back or write someting to you so that the whole world can see. If you do not have a twitter, I suggest you get one because it is the next best thing after facebook.

Even though bama lost Im still roll tide!

As we all know the #1 team, Alabama Crimson Tide, fell to ranked team South Carolina on Saturday. There was so much fuss about the game, and how Alabama is now ranked #8, right behind Auburn #7. Once the game was over with all you heard was the fuss about how Bama lost and blah blah blah. It started to agitate me, but I still kept my cool. Even though we lost I still feel as if we are still a great team, and he will prove it in the games to come. Auburn plays Arkansas Saturday and I hope they lose so that the Bama fans can throw it all up in their faces like they did us.

The Library

Tuesday I went to the library with my English comp class, and I was able to learn a lot. When I was in elementary school we had what was called the Dewey decimal system in order to check out books, and do some research. I really did not get a chance to experience this system because I was always one of the ones to look up information on the Internet, because at that time the library seemed so boring to me and I just did not feel like sitting in a quiet place for a long time doing research. While at the college library on Auburn Montgomery's campus, I was introduced to something called a call number. We were asked to type in our discourse communities so that when we meet tomorrow we will look for books based upon our dc's. I have not gotten a chance to test it out yet because our class will get a chance to do this tomorrow so once I get through I will be back to blog some more on this topic.

What's up with Domestic Violence?

It seems like every time you turn on the television a famous celebrity or someone you may know closely has resorted to domestic violence. It's almost like a trend because it is so common today. Just a year or so ago the singer Chris Brown had to do many hours of community service because he beat up on his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna, who is also a singer.

Now another celebrity has fallen to this horrible lifestyle. I was watching the news last week sometime, and my dad brought it to my attention that the singer Mario was charged with second degree assault, and was released on $50,000 bond. His mother, who was known to have been a heroin addict said that her son shoved her around in her Baltimore apartment. It is so sad to see these celebrities do this because after the Chris Brown incident it turned a lot of his fans away from him, and Mario may be the same. When I first heard the story I was in shock because I could not believe that Mario would hit his own mother. This goes to show that it does not matter how close you are to someone, anyone can become a victim of an assault or domestic violence.

Tide Rolls over Florida

Any Alabama fan who watched the game this weekend will agree with these choice of words, and was also happy with Alabama's team performance this past weekend. I know I was; 31 to 6, and Florida did not even get a touchdown. Leading uo to the game people were saying that Alabama was going to lose, but I had hope in my team and I knew they were going to  I was so proud to see my team play the way they did, and that only hypes me up to when Alabama and Auburn play. I know that will be a good game as well, and I also hope Alabama come out on top!

The Alabama National Fair

People come from miles around from the farms and from the towns to where the excitement will be found at the Alabama National Fair! I love that commercial and since it is October the fair is a couple of days away. I can not wait. I love everything about the fair from the rides to the food. I also enjoy the entertainment. This years entertainment will be Baby face who is a singer. I'm not really amped about seeing his performance I'm just ready for the thrill and excitement the fair has to offer.
