Journal - What are you weekend plans?
Uhm I am not sure at all what my weekend plans are. All I know is that I will be with my friends(Morgan) for most of the weekend as I am all weekend and have so much fun ebcause that's what we do! Then come home Sunday and probably go to the mall with my family so that my step mom can help me find a necklace or maybe some shoes for homecoming. I'm hoping to get my dress tonight or sometime soon so that I can find a proper necklace and everything and finalize all of my homecoming ordeals.

Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I think that citing work is a very big pain in the butt. I don't think it is necessary either. I'm not saying that it is okay to plagiarize I am just saying that it is so much extra work and it's what makes me not want to write papers for any classes especially like informative ones. I think that bibliographies aren't that bad when there is just one page at the end of the the paper or what not but every time you quote them I think you should just put quotation marks around it. The importance of it is to make sure that you aren't going around writing things and taking credit for other people's information or writings or facts and to give them credit for what they wrote and how you are using it in your own paper.

Journal - What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
I will read anything written by Nicholas Sparks. I have read most of his books already. I just think that they're really good and they're cute love stories. There is so much detail and description in them it makes it easier to really understand them and paint the picture in your head. Most of his books are long but it's mostly worth it in the end. One of my favorite ones is probably the Notebook. The book is told in a different perspective than the movie is although it has mostly the same information but told in a different way, it's hard to explain. The book was definitely better though and it was worth the read. His books are one of those books that I just can't put down and it makes me want to keep reading them.

Journal - Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
No I do not enjoy writing. Writing is an essential skill in life because is our form of communication. Through writing we mass produce and mass communicate our ideas and thoughts to other people. I don't think I will use this skill much. it depends on what I end up doing with my life but probably only write like e-mails and things when I need to do something with other businesses or when I need to communicate something to somebody that isn't of very easy access from where I am location wise.

Journal - What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
I personally don't think that making an outline is very helpful to me. Maybe like a graphic organizer but outlines are so complicated and detailed for something that might help you but I don't think or find it necessary to spend so much time on it. I would prefer to do it on paper with a pen or pencil because I would find it much more efficient and on computers it takes a while to learn or get use to whatever software you are using. The other way to organize your thoughts in my opinion is through like some other sort of graphic organizer like a simpler outline. Just written down on a piece of paper or what not.

Journal - Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
This weekend on Friday I first went home and then I showered. I got picked up at like 4:30 and got dropped off at Morgans house and chilled there with her mom for a while while I waited for her to get home from the gym at around 5:30. At like 6:25ish like seven other girls came over and by the end of the night there were eighteenn of us. We all went to Brady's house and chilled for a while. I left to go to Wal-mart to buy needles so that Bella could pierce our ears. Then I got picked up from Wal-mart by Vinny and went to McDonalds with them. He dropped us back off at Brady's and we all left around 10:30. When we got back to Morgans we realized that we had left Natalie and Kenzi so Hannah took us back to go get them and we all went down to Morgans basement after making some snacks. Bella then started trying to pierce Libby's ear and she missed and then we poked a whole new hole. Kenzi, Morgan, and I went for a 3:00 a.m. QT run. We slept then woke up and the next day we just had a very chill day.

Journal - Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my mom. Even though she passed away like six or seven years ago, I still look up to her and think about her all the time. Even though she hasn't physically been there for me, I remember how she was always so happy and positive She was super social and very smart. I felt like she always knew what to say and she led by example. She was very successful and she set kind of a high standard for what I want to be when I grow up. Not profession wise but she was successful and smart. She was determined so when she wanted something and she wanted it bad then she could push through, persevere to get where she wanted to be. She never let life get the best of her and she showed that she always had something to smile about and to never take any day of your life for granted.

Journal - What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Good e-mail etiquette is like being all formal and professional. Just like when you are writing a letter to somebody there are certain formats that you have to follow. It is essential in the real world because it's different when you are e-mailing to one of your friends but when it is somebody that you are trying to impress or something that the matter is professional then you have to use good e-mail etiquette and good and proper formats for that e-mail. It's just a way that you show how professional you are. If they show that you are serious about business or about a certain matter than it can put you ahead. It shows that you know what you are talking and that the subject is important to you.

Journal - If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
I would choose to in some way stop teen pregnancies. I would choose this because I think it is absolutely ridiculous how there are so many teenagers that accidentally get pregnant and don't believe in abortion so they go through with the pregnancy which isn't bad at all but then they end up with adoption and the child might think their mom didn't love them? Or the girl ends up throwing away her life to take care of the baby which isn't bad either but she is throwing away her life when she could have waited to give that child the life that they deserved and need. If you aren't of age and don't have the money or can't take care of a baby then you shouldn't have one. Even if it's on accident, they should have taken more precautions before. Many times when a guy gets girl pregnant he walks out on her and leaves her to take that care of that child herself. I mainly just think it's absurd how teenagers don't think enough and never assume that it could happen to them and they get so careless and it's just not needed.

Journal - On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
A public service announcement is a non profit public announcement to let the world be aware of something important. There will be no money made from this announcement and these are normally less expensive than something you would be marketing or trying to adveritse for the purpose of getting something sold or bought. Their purpose is soley to let others be aware of something going on in the community/world. If I could create a PSA mine would be over an epidemic that was occuring at the time. Like two or three years ago there was an influenza outbreak and I'm sure there were PSA's everywhere letting people around them be aware and so that they could take the necessary precautions. So for safety reasons pretty much and I think it would be important for the people of the community to be aware and be safe.
