Holy crap, I totally slept through class today! I got home from work and I totally crashed, but that hasn't stopped me from doing my homework!haha. The past couple days me and my family have been without internet, and i thought about going down to the library to finish my stuff. But that just seems like something you don't do anymore, and who even goes to the library anymore!? haha, but my paper is on technologies advantages and disadvantages, and ive been able to come across a lot of stuff that seems pretty interesting.

I wanted to do a modern day post by Vincent Van Gogh, and i think this is what he might've said.

"OMG, just cut my own ear off! LOL #whydididothat#canthearcrap#whatshouldidowithit#ohwell#yolo"

thats just my thought. haha

Journal entry #8

So i got to jackson hole! I've been here once before but it was a super long time ago. I thought the drive would only be a few hours, but turned out to be like 5. I hate long drives! We're staying in a trailer camp that has all the amenities and crap, but i prefer the outdoors and sleeping outside. I was on a campout just yesterday up near pineview reservoir, and i used my new bivy sack, which is just basically a waterproof sack you put over your sleeping bag. I thought it was great and i slept pretty well. It's a pretty nice town, and it's almost like park city. I've still got some time so we'll see what i still can do! I hope i can go kayaking!

Well this last week was my mothers birthday, and she's not the type of person for gifts. I did get her a funny card and some of her favorite chocolate. She decided last minute to go on a camping trip to jackson hole Wyoming, and it was kinda tough for me to get work off and i'm hoping i'll be back in time for class on monday! I'm sure it'll be fun and we'll see how this goes!

Well this last weekend i went on a camping trip up in morgan, and it was pretty fun. I got to use my new bivy sack and just sleep outside a tent. The weather was perfect and all night it was pretty warm. This campsite is right next to a really wooded forest, and the last time i camped in this spot, there were tons of noises coming from the woods, and trees getting knocked down. I thought i would get trampled by something. This time i felt like i needed to sleep outside so i could see what it was. Turns out it was a bunch of cows. But they scared the shiz out of me. haha

Journal entry #5

Well I guess I should get back into this blogging thing. I've never had to do this before, but it seems like I already suck at it! Anyway, 4th of july kinda sucked. I didn't get any fireworks and I didn't even watch the fireworks. Im kinda boring, Im not really into buying stuff that blows up. Well it looks like this class is already going by super fast! does anybody else feel that way?!

In class writing week 2

Some reading I have done in the last week

1. some twitter feed

2. and audiobook called "Unbroken"

3. facebook

4. internet news (CNN, Fox News ect...)

5. My english blog

6. annotated bibliographies 

7. religious books

    I think the amount of books and material that I have been reading, is pretty normal for me. I love to keep up with the news and current events. Im glad it is easy to find out what is going on in the world. A lot of my friends live far away from me, and it would be kinda hard to keep in contact over the phone or letters. Internet is great for this reason, you can communicate with anyone, anywhere, all over the world. 

   I really only read stuff I like to read, and sometimes it seems like a lot. I have so many books I have started and haven't finished! There are so many subjects that are interesting!

Journal entry 4

Well today it's super hot! Almost a 100! After work today I came home to put up our new vinyl fence up! I've been thinking lately, about our internet identities, and how we really can be different people in person than we are on the internet. I know of some people who are really shy and timid in person, but are super outspoken on the internet. Im not saying it's a bad thing. It seems as though our society awards outspokenness and extroverted people, and when you're an introvert, it can be difficult for your voice to be heard.  I think the internet is a great place for introverts, who like their privacy and quiet, to be extroverted and still feel comfortable in their own skin.

Journal entry 3

Well this kinda sucks. I thought I had started and even half way finished my annotated bibliography! Turns out that I was doing it wrong! Anyway, its underway and it's kinda hard to find so many different citations. Im going to do a pretty popular topic, its called "Is technology making people smarter, or dumber". I know, pretty generic right? Oh well, I think this topic is pretty interesting! Lets see how it goes!
