So last week in class, we talked a little bit more about telling and showing and went over are reading assignments. One of are reading assignments we went over was "Everyone Knew I Was Gay Except My Brother" (I believe that was the title of it). So Mr. Mangini went over each section and had the class decipher between whether it was showing or telling. That really helped me get a better understanding of showing and telling because I would get them confused at times. We also went over another reading I forgot the title but it was about a woman name Henrietta that had cancer and they took her cells with out her knowing and her cells were the first cells that were able to stay alive and multiply and they were able to use them to treat and prevent some diseases. I still can't believe that her family never got paid for that. That's America for ya! We also talked more about are Creative Nonfiction Essay and what the professor is looking for. He mentioned some literacy devices such as Juxtaposition and Theme. He mentioned that if we have a series of Vignettes from are blog and were including them in our essays, make sure there's a connection between each story so that it makes sense. That's something I had trouble with when I was writing my essay but once I got into the flow of things, everything started to make sense to me.
Now on with my personal life, this weekend I decided to go out with my best-friend and my friend from my previous job. So we had went to a temple party on Saturday and I was erked! For one, I'm not even a partying type of person so I wasn't as interested to go as they were. And for two, I'm always complaining how I never get to do anything because I'm always at work or at school and the minute I get to go out, I'm ready to go back in the house. So anyways, we get to the party and its so not my scene. Then this guy comes over to me asking me my name and I said Sha-Nay-Nay. He said no seriously wants your name and I said no I'm serious. I most of scared the poor guy away because he walked away so fast before I even blinked. Lmao I love playing jokes on people and besides I didn't feel like being bother. Next thing you know two girls start arguing because I guess the guy had came to the party with his side chick and the girlfriend caught him so it looked like they were going to start fighting so I had enough and had to leave. We ended up going to a diner and the food was okay. I just couldn't wait to get home and get in my bed it was FREEZING SATURDAY NIGHT! I don't think I'm ready for this cold weather. My birthday is in the winter too so you'll think I would be more excited. Anyways that's all for now, signing off .
