Now for my personally life.Nothing really has changed so far. Oh! I bought a book on Amazon that's post to help in the career I want to go into. It's called "The Business of Sports. First of all I wish they would have warn me how big the book is and two to me it just has a lot of unneccesary information that I really don't need to know! What a waste of money! Oh well. Umm lets see this weekend I was able to spend time with my family and try to catch up with my homework for my classes. I don't think I really got the chance to realize how stressful school can be if you don't stay on top of your work and balance it out with your normal schedule. Not to say I'm all over the place when it comes school but there's a couple things that I do need to work on.
So last week in class we talked a lot about showing and telling and no I'm not talking about what you used to do in kindergarten with show and tell. I'm talking about showing and telling in your writing. So basically telling is when your setting the scene for your audience and giving them a small insight on whats going on and showing is when your being more in depth about what your telling your audience. For instance, you can say, I went to the zoo with my little cousins and they loved the petting zoo. That would be telling. Now showing would be more like the following; Ewww the smell of the elephant pit is awful! Cotton candy is stuck in my little cousin hair as she is running over to pet the little bunnies. The bunnies looked frighten as there long ears poked high in the air and their black eyes widen open as they saw her coming. See the difference? Another example would be what I wrote in my week 3 reflection when I said "I'm starting to feel it because when I get off of work I feel exhausted and automatically go to bed." Showing would of been something more like this; as my body finally hit my bed, I felt myself finally feeling at peace. When I try to sit myself up, the pain starts again. I feel like every bone in my body has gave up on me and won't work for me. I am officially exhausted from work and am done for the night. We also talked about thinking of ideas to write about for are creative essay. I'm still unsure on what I want to write about but I know I want to do a topic I feel strongly about.
