Thursday was our last actual day of class. It ended pretty well; we talked more about project 4 and what was due on Friday December 14^th. We got to eat doughnuts and drink apple juice while listening. It was a fun laid back class, and we didn’t have to worry about much. We got a chance to meet her niece who she was babysitting. She was so cute and little. I think that I will do really well on the final project; I have a good idea for my paper, and also a good idea for my visual. I liked how everyone in the class got along and were able to communicate with each other so well.

My weekend was overall really good! I went home on Friday and spent time with my mom and grandma. We went to the mall and shopped a little bit. I got some purple uggs to match my north face coat and a new purse. I came back late Friday night, early Saturday morning. I’m from Grand Rapids so it’s only a 45-minute drive, not too bad. Saturday was just a relaxing day, not much to do. I slept in really late since I came back late. I got a lot of my homework done, which felt great. On Sunday my boyfriend and me celebrated 3 years!! Went to Applebee’s for dinner and to the movies.

Class on Thursday was different we went to the library to do our research for project 4. I had to miss class on Tuesday because of a mandatory performance for my art class. I didn’t get to pick my group, and was put into one. In my group we picked D-Day as our topic. We struggled towards the beginning of class to find the section where books on D-Day would be located. Finally after awhile we found a section that had a lot of books on D-Day. We began skimming through the books, to summarize what they talked about. My two that I picked gave good descriptions on what actually occurred on D-Day.

My weekend overall was great, I got to see my family, friends, work, and I went black Friday shopping. My break was also very relaxing; I didn’t have to worry about doing much homework. I was able to sleep in my own bed, which is very comfortable. It felt good to work again for a couple days, even though it wasn’t much I still made some money. Going black Friday shopping was really fun as well; I got a lot of new things that were on sale. We didn’t leave the mall until like 3am. I came back Sunday after work. I was speeding a little bit to make it back and was pulled over by the police. Luckily the machine didn’t work and wouldn’t print out a ticket so I was good to go.

I had a great Thanksgiving; it was so nice to see all of my friends and family! My thanksgiving started off by me working at my job, which is, Celebration Cinema Movie Theater. I worked 1-6, at the beginning it was going by really slow I think at that time everyone was out eating with his or her families. Things started to pick up about 5:30 6 o clock and that’s when I was leaving. I went straight to my grandmas where I got to eat some good food, and then just relaxed there until later because I was going black Friday shopping for the first time. We got to the mall about 11, and then didn’t leave until like 3am. It was so much fun and I got some good stuff with all the deals they were having.

Overall I had a great weekend. I got all of my homework done on that Friday so I didn’t have to worry about anything over the weekend, I could relax and have fun. I hung out with my friends the whole weekend. On Friday we didn’t do much, on Saturday we went to Westerns last football game of the year. It was so nice outside there was no reason not to go, Western put up a fight but they ended up losing the last game. On Sunday we relaxed and watched movies, and then later we went to see some of our friends play in their intermural basketball games. It was a great weekend :)

The play ruined was a really good play! It was long, but the story was really powerful. It made me sad in some way to see what they people had to go threw. How the women and children were treated. The soldiers killed whomever they felt like it whenever they felt like it. Mama’s place was a get a way from all of those things. It was very ironic because they were still having sex with the soldiers but I guess it was with actual consent. Back at their villages it was jus taken from them, many times by many men.

Class on Thursday was very helpful to me for starting project 3. I got a much better understanding of what actually needs to be done, but also what I have to get done for my certain topic. Getting the chance to do the journaling for 2 examples helped a lot as well. I now know what it should look like and already have to start for the project. Overall I’m excited about project 3 I think that I can do a really good job with my topic, which is Tattoos. There are many different tattoos that people get for many different reasons. Seeing the tattoo I can only say my reason of why I think it is what it is, but the person who has the tattoo knows the most.
